William looked at Rose, with his eyes full of expectation and hope. And he also swallowed nervously for
fear of her refusal.
With clear eyes, Rose looked at him, tried to ignore the expectation in his eyes, and said with a smile,
"I’m sorry, I have to leave."
Sure enough, she turned him down. William’s eyes became dim and dark, "Why do you have to leave?
Isn’t it good to work here, is it? There are so many familiar colleagues, and I am also here...... Do you
really want to leave?"
He tried his best to persuade her to stay, because he wanted to see her every day.
"Mr. Quinn, all good things will come to an end. Greetings and farewells are repeatedly recurring in our
life. So this time, I will say goodbye to you." Rose was still a little reluctant to leave, but she really had
to go. So she could only put this reluctance in her heart.
"Besides, City H is not far from City Y. It takes only three hours to get there by plane. I will always
welcome you in City H."
"Rose, have you really decided?" William asked her again.
He thought she must have been impulsive and wanted to leave without adequate consideration.
"I’ve decided." Rose nodded heavily, "And my transfer application has passed. I will get the transfer
letter from CEO Dong by tomorrow, and then I will leave for City H."
"As long as you want to stay here, I will handle everything. So don’t be worried that your change of
mind will make CEO Dong unhappy. And I promise that you won’t be blamed." William thought she was
worried that she would be punished by CEO Dong for going back on her words, "Just believe me."
"Mr. Quinn, I really appreciate your care, help and guidance over the years. If I hadn’t met you, I don’t
think I would have succeeded like this. I will always remember your kindness. As long as you need me,
I will go through fire and water for you." For Rose, William was a very important person in her life.
"I don’t need you to go through fire and water for me. I just don’t want you to leave." William was
excited at the beginning, but gradually he expressed his heartfelt wish calmly.
Although his words were calm, his heaviness could still be felt.
"I’m sorry." Rose’s eyes turned red and moist, so she could only avoid looking into his eyes and say
sad words.
William was silent. He failed to keep her.
"It’s OK. You can go out to work," William said after taking a deep breath.
"Well." Rose got up, bowed to William, and turned away.
William looked at Rose’s back and couldn’t help calling her, "Rose..."
"Is there anything else?" Rose turned around to ask William, her hand on the doorknob.
"Shall we have a meal together when you leave?" He swallowed and bore all the bitterness and sorrow.
"Well, I’ll treat you," Rose said with a smile.
The moment the office door closed, William got up from his chair and paced impatiently. He was in a
state of extreme agitation.
It was so painful to lose a person.
After work, Rose picked up Doris. And Jane was asked to return home by her parents.
"Honey, we’re home." Rose put on her shoes, "You can go to the living room to have fun for a while,
and mom is going to make dinner."
"OK." Doris raised her right hand and made a gesture of obedience.
Doris took out the paper and colored pen, thinking about what to draw. At this time, a picture flashed in
her mind, "Mom, can you give me your mobile phone to check the picture?"
"What are you looking for?" Rose asked her in her apron.
"It is a secret." Doris took her cell phone and opened it, "You’ll know in a moment. Go and cook. I’m
hungry."
Doris opened the web page and input the words "wedding dress". After browsing some pictures, she
started to draw on the paper.
Suddenly, Doris had an idea. She took the mobile phone, opened the WeChat, and looked for
something.
"How could I be so stupid that I forgot to ask that uncle’s name," Doris looked at the picture marked Mr.
Lee and said, "Mom and Jane both call him Mr. Lee. That’s right. "
Doris typed "I miss you" in the message box and then sent it to Bright.
Then she stared at the screen and laughed.
A second passed…
A minute passed…
Five minutes passed…
Why did he not reply? Did he not see the message because of work? But it was time for him to leave
work.
Again, Doris sent "I miss you" to Bright. However, until Doris finished the painting, Bright did not reply.
"Doris, wash your hands and have dinner." Rose put the dishes on the table.
"OK." Doris got up and ran to wash her hands.
When Doris came back, Rose was looking at her painting, "What did you draw?"
"When I grow up, I will marry my beloved Dougie, wearing beautiful wedding dress." Doris raised her
eyebrows triumphantly. "I can’t help it if you want to be single all your life. We will be filial to you in the
future."
“……”
Rose was startled.
The mother and daughter sat on the chair. One bowl of rice for each of them, and two dishes would be
enough for them.
"Here are scrambled eggs with tomatoes that you like. And this is stewed beef with carrots. Eat more
carrots and your eyes will be bigger and brighter." Rose gave Doris a piece of carrot, "You have to eat it
up, and then you will be more beautiful."
“……” Doris didn’t believe her, "I don’t like carrots..."
"Does Dougie know you are so picky?" Rose picked up the carrot and chewed it slowly. It tasted
delicious. "A good boy like Dougie is certainly not picky about food and certainly dislikes a picky girl..."
“……” Doris put the carrot that her mother was about to take away back in her bowl, "I will eat it."
Doris could eat carrots for her beloved Dougie.
Seeing Doris eating the carrots, Rose smiled with satisfaction.
Dougie was the weakness of Doris, and Doris could do everything for him.
After dinner, Doris helped Rose clean up the table. After finishing, they went out for a walk.
They went home to watch TV for a while, and Doris went to bed at 9 o'clock.
Lying next to her mother, Doris held the panda doll. Rose was about to tell her a bedtime story.
She chose some fables that were simple and easy to understand, "Today, I’m going to tell an idiom
story called Wait for Windfalls…... From then on, he stayed by the tree all day, hoping to wait for a
rabbit killed by accident. However, for many days, the miracle had never happened again. On the
contrary, because he did not deal with the affairs of the farmland, the field was full of weeds and
became more and more barren day by day."
Doris soon fell asleep. Rose walked out of Doris’s room, went back to her own room and began to
wash and rest.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Rose took a towel to wipe the water stains on her face. At this time, who would come?
