“Doris, in fact, your mother has already agreed to let me take care of you.” Bright interrupted Rose, not
wanting her to say anything that would hurt the child's heart.
He knew that after Rose knew about their marriage and knew that he was her nominal husband, she
was still unwilling to face reality.
He also knew that Rose was not at ease because of this marriage and even showed more anxiety.
He was afraid that her anxiety would affect the child.
Although the child was young and sensible, she was more sensitive and fragile.
“Mom, is that true? Is what handsome uncle the truth? He’s not lying to me?” Doris grabbed Rose's
hand and looked up, wanting to get confirmation.
“Of course.” Bright took the initiative and answered.
“Mom?” Doris still persisted in getting an answer from Rose.
She and her mother had been dependent on each other for many years. Mom was her only one. This
feeling couldn’t be replaced by anyone.
“Mom knows you are kind, but I hope Doris can give mom some time to think about this matter. This is
also something between us two adults. We will discuss it carefully before telling you our decision,
okay?” Rose held her daughter's little hand in her palm and spoke gently and softly.
There were some things she didn’t want to say in front of Doris. Doris liked Bright so much, so she was
afraid of making Doris sad.
This was kind of like her stalling tactic.
As for the matter between her and Bright, she had to find time to have a good talk with him.
“Yeah.” Doris nodded happily. “Then mom, will my great grandmother like me? Who else in the family
besides great grandmother?”
“Great grandma is a very loving elder, and of course she likes Doris. Otherwise, why would she be
anxious to have me take you home?” Rose’s fingertips tapped the tip of her daughter's pretty nose. “In
addition to great grandma, there are grandma and grandpa at home.”
“Then will they like me?”
“They...” Rose was thinking of how to word her response in order not to harm the child.
“Everyone likes Doris. How could they not like Doris? You need to have confidence in yourself.” Bright
encouraged Doris. “Look, you’ve even conquered my heart is conquered. What else is there to worry
about? Uncle doesn’t come to like people very easily.”
“Yes, I'm very well-behaved and cute. Grandpa and grandma will like me.” Doris was confident.
She leaned her small body against Rose and cuddled her mother.
Rose stretched out her hand to encircle Doris's small body, lowered her head, and looked at Doris in
her arms. Doris also looked up at her mother. The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Bright looked at the warm and beautiful scene at the back, and surprisingly, his heart felt warmth and
was moved.
He also wanted to have a happy family, a lovely daughter, and a gentle wife.
Bright, who had never thought that marriage would become his life goal, really hoped it would come
true at this moment.
When Bright stopped the Maserati at the gate of the Linder’s villa, everything seemed to have gone
back to square one.
Rose and Doris got out of the car, and Bright brought Doris’ luggage out of the trunk.
“Thank you.” Rose held Doris in one hand and wanted to grab the luggage in the other.
“I'll see you in.” Bright felt it would be inconvenient for her.
“No, it’s fine.” Rose refused.
As soon as he entered the Linder's house, there would be an uproar, and maybe their marriage would
be exposed.
She didn’t want to admit that she was married when she was going to divorce soon. By then, she would
only get laughed at by her parents, who didn’t want to see her, and Sophie, who hated her. They would
call her an abandoned wife.
Rose grabbed the luggage and led Doris to the carved door.
Bright stood by the car and looked at the mother and daughter who had left him behind.
Doris looked back at the “poor” Bright with every couple of steps she took, but she couldn’t do anything.
At the same time, a black Mercedes-Benz vehicle slowly drove over. Shade from the trees slid across
the body of the car until it stopped in front of Bright.
High-quality car windows slowly lowered, and Chandler looked at Bright standing in front of the door in
surprise. “CEO Lee?”
He thought he was seeing things, but it was the real CEO Lee, which really shocked him.
“CEO Linder.” Bright's response was polite and distant.
Chandler hurriedly pushed the door to get out of the car. “What brought CEO Lee here? No wonder I
heard the magpie sing when I left this morning. So it was because someone important was coming,
haha...”
Bright just curled his thin lips and smiled faintly. “CEO Lee is really good at making jokes. There
shouldn't be magpies in this villa area, right? Perhaps CEO Linder has a magpie in the house? I’m
actually curious and would like to take a look.”
“This...this...” Chandler felt embarrassed. He never had a magpie.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Rose and the child she held hands with.
What was happening?
Chandler frowned and called out to Rose. “Rose.”
Rose heard Chandler calling her, turned her head, and glanced over Chandler and Bright. “Dad, what's
the matter?”
“Where did this child come from?” Chandler looked at Doris, who held a panda doll, and wondered
whether she was the kid Rose gave birth to five years ago.
How could she bring the child home? Did she want to create even more problems in the family?
“Dad, she is my daughter.” Rose admitted frankly.
“Hello grandpa. I'm Doris, your lovely and beautiful granddaughter.” Doris seemed to be a cute and
grown-up child and was not timid at all.
It seemed that she was the child who humiliated the Linder family five years ago! Surprisingly, she
already grew so big and was so beautiful and cute.
What was he thinking?
How come he found her cute?
“Who is your grandfather? Don’t go around addressing people randomly.” Chandler said unhappily. He
didn’t admit that Doris was the Linder family’s granddaughter even though Bright was still there.
“Grandpa, I'll be obedient.” Doris felt that Chandler did not like her, so she immediately showed a
friendly attitude towards him.
“Dad, she is just a child. Why do you have to fuss over it?” Rose also thought this would happen, but
Doris would be hurt.
“You—”
“CEO Linder, Doris is a really good kid. I really like your granddaughter. She’s clever and cute." Bright
interrupted Chandler. His ink eyes were dark.
Chandler looked at Bright in surprise. Bright was handsome and solemn, and stood tall under the
shade of the tree. He showed steadiness and restraint of a mature man as well as prestige that couldn’t
be ignored because of all the things he had gone through.
“Hehe...really?” Chandler felt that cold shivers up his back. “If CEO Lee likes children this much, he
could have a child with Mrs. Lee...ah... no, a few children. As the saying goes, it's better to have your
own children.”
“I’m thinking of that as well.” When Bright replied, his eyes fell on Rose's body inadvertently.
Rose naturally felt his sharp eyes too, and the roots of her ears started to become hot.
“I wonder which family Mrs. Lee is from?” Chandler was also gossipy.
