Facing Bright's question, Rose was silent but lowered her eyelashes.
"Look up at me and tell me what you're afraid of?" A trace of irritation rose in Bright's heart because
she kept silent about the question like an ostrich.
Rose raised her eyes slightly, then looked at him guiltily.
His eyes were deep and dark, and there seemed to be a strong appeal that sucked her in, which was
fathomless and made her feel at a loss.
Rose remained in silence, so did Bright.
The two stared at each other like this, as if they were measuring their fixity.
Bright raised his fingers to pinch eyebrows. As soon as Bill came this morning, he submitted the
information about Rose to Bright.
It clearly stated that Rose came to City Y with a baby five years ago, who's now growing up, Doris.
Obviously, Rose's biological mother of the little girl.
Jane, however, is a teacher of Doris in kindergarten and a friend of Rose. The two have maintained
their friendship all the way.
Jane often assisted Rose to take after Doris which reduced a lot of pressure on Rose.
"Still don’t want to tell me?" Bright closed his eyes and sounded disappointed and exhausted, "Is it
difficult for you to tell the truth? Or you have never told me a truth since the beginning! "
Rose pressed her lips tightly, without a word.
"Do you think you could deceive yourself and others forever if it's kept in secret?" Bright opened his
eyes again, deeper and darker, "The lie will be revealed once I order someone to investigate you in
City Y. Is it funny for you to tell a cock-and-bull story?"
"Are you investigating me?" Rose finally brought herself back, with her eyes opened wide, shocked,
angry, and somehow relieved.
It's within her expectation that Bright would take this step.
The secret she wanted to keep was actually vulnerable in front of him. But Rose was really deceiving
herself and others, even enjoying it. She even thought that Bright would never know who Doris was
unless she finally told it.
At the moment, Rose wanted to burst out laughing, for she herself was completely a joke.
"I know you don't want this but I have to." Bright was generously frank without concealing anything.
"What makes you do this?" Rose was irritated after hearing such an answer, then she was like a
hedgehog covered with thorns and pores all over her body were on guard, "No matter who she is, or
who she belongs to, it's totally none of your businesses. who do you think you are?"
Rose's attacking words indeed stabbed Bright, making him speechless to that.
Yeah, who is he?
Yeah, both Rose and Doris have nothing to do with him!
"It's indeed none of my business." Bright said indifferently, with thin lips curled up, "Then, who is Miss
Linder related to?"
"Doris is my daughter, and it is naturally related to me." said Rose in a cold voice.
"Can you give birth to a child alone?" Bright snorted coldly, as if pointing that she was really something.
"It has nothing to do with you." She turned away slightly, "Can you stop this ever?"
"Who is Doris's father?" asked Bright.
All of a sudden, a strong headache hit Rose when she was asked by him.
Biting lip with teeth, Rose reacted to be stubborn and unconvinced. In fact, however, her heart had
already begun to collapse.
Did he know something? What on earth drew him to ask about Doris's biological father?
"Doris doesn't have a father." panic flashed across Rose's eyes.
It was really difficult for her to deny the fact face to face, cause Bright was Doris's biological father.
But in any case, Rose wouldn't tell him the truth. Otherwise it will be revealed that she once set him up
five years ago. What's worse, she gave birth to Doris and then save another man without telling him.
She's afraid he would hate her so badly for what she did.
In addition, Bright liked Doris a lot so that he would take her from Rose without hesitation once he knew
the truth. If it really happened, Rose had no idea how she fights against Bright!
"Yeah, her dad has become the biggest shining star in the sky guarding her and her mom." said Bright
in a cold and calm tone.
How did he know that? From Doris?
"Is there any problem with this?" She asked him back, trying her best to calm herself down and not
show any clues to Bright.
"You have never been married to anyone." Bright pointed out directly to reveal her lies.
Except that Rose married Bright before. However, both of them have not met over the past three years
because of hidden marriage, let alone an opportunity for them to give birth to children.
"The law doesn't stipulate that I cannot gave birth to a child without getting married." said Rose.
"The girl's father has not become a star at all, but someone else's husband?" Bright got up from the
sofa, standing tall and straight.
He stepped forward approaching Rose while she could only step back under the pressure from
him...until she reached the edge of his desk, there was no way to step back.
At the time She wanted to run away, Bright put both hands on the edge of the desk, trapping her
between him and the desk.
His charming with masculinity swallowed Rose, who was already messed up to be a lot more
distraught.
"Both you and Sky Tanner have been in love with each other since childhood, but he married your
sister, Sophie Linder...that's why you left City H and move to City Y." it's only Bright's speculation.
He remembered that night Rose sent him back to Ginkgo Villa, her friend happened to mention "Piss
off the scum Tanner!"
With the addition of the day they met Sky Tanner in the elevator, when he picked up Rose in the Four
Seasons Hotel. It's normal for friends to greet but there's a quite strange atmosphere between Rose
and Tanner.
Besides, they should be closer for their relationship as sister and brother-in-law, but it's like they didn't
want to see each other at all.
With these messages, Bright felt that Sky Tanner had something to do with it.
"There are some things Mr. Bright should let go. I said it's nothing to do with you." replied Rose
ambiguously.
Rose wouldn't draw him back to the truth since Bright positioned Sky Tanner as Doris's biological
father. It might be better that he stopped digging deeper in search of somehow an answer.
It's a fact that she broke with Sky Tanner after giving birth which became a scandal, but people had a
short memory after all. Time flies, few people have remembered that and Rose herself clearly over the
past five years.
Concerning the family shame, both the Linder family and the Tanner Family dealt with the matter in a
quick response. It would remain a secret as long as nobody didn't go into it.
"So do I." Bright finally acquiesced to accept Rose's answer.
He retracted his arm and drew himself back to free Rose.
"Miss Linder, just help yourself."
"Thank you, Mr. Bright." Rose was relieved to breathe after that.
She turned and left without looking back.
That's it, the entanglement between them ended from now on, but why was there a slight astringent
from the bottom of her heart?
