Bright's cell phone was unanswered.
Rose then persuaded Doris, who was beginning to feel sleepy, to try again tomorrow, and then took her
to take a bath and rest.
She stayed with Doris, lulled her to sleep with a bedtime story, tucked her in, and gave a gentle kiss on
her forehead. And then she went downstairs to see granny.
Every night she went to see her grandmother when Doris was asleep. Rose would talk to her grandma
when she was awake, and then she would talk to herself when her grandma was asleep.
Or she would sit quietly with her grandmother, which had become her habit.
And then she would go back to her room to rest.
As she went upstairs, she happened to meet Sophie, who was carrying a soup of red dates with lotus
seeds and white fungus.
"Sister, can't you sleep? Sophie got in Rose's way, blocking her in the hallway.
"A good dog is out of the way." Rose's eyes were sharp.
The sharp words made Sophie lose the color on her face and gnash her teeth in anger.
But she calmed herself down as soon as possible and smiled, "Sister, Sky has been very fond of soup
of red dates with lotus seeds and white fungus these years. I prepare it for him every day. He has had
regular check-ups for the past five years and his health is very stable."
"Sister, I have good news for you. Sky and I are going to have a baby. A boy as handsome as him, I'm
looking forward to it. After we give birth to the child, he will grow up in the love of parents and elders.
We will give him everything he wants, especially fatherly love."
"I don't think your daughter will ever realize that. It's a very poor thing."
"Sister, of course, if you don't turn your back on sick Sky, you won't be what you are like today."
"Enough?" Rose was expressionless, not being angry at all.
"Sister, Sky's embrace is very warm. When he holds me, I can fall asleep quickly. It's amazing." Sophie
not only satirized Doris for not having a father, but also hurt Rose, "Rose, you are in lack of a man so
you couldn't fall asleep. Didn't you and Mr. Timothy go on a blind date last time? I think he's very good.
If you have a child and you have a bad reputation, don't be so picky. He is the heir to the Fan family
and it is his first marriage. If you marry him, you don't have to worry about the rest of your life."
"Since you're so jealous, why don't you marry him yourself? If you and Sky divorced, it is just a second
marriage. Anyway, you have no child now and might have a better chance to be with him. This is a
good chance, seize it." Rose snapped at her.
"Rose, don't be so sharp! How dare you tell me to divorce Sky? You have an axe to grind! How evil you
are!" Sophie scowled and her hands that held the soup began to shake.
What she feared most was losing Sky, and she would not divorce him even if she died.
She would not give up being Mrs. Tanner to anyone else, especially Rose.
"So sister, why do you want me to marry Timothy? Everyone knows what his character is; don't tell me
you don't know it!" Rose moved closer to Sophie, who took a step back. "So what if I don't have a man?
You will give me Sky to warm my bed?"
"Never!" Sophie looked stern, and she was not weak anymore, "He's my husband. He can only warm
my bed. You don't deserve it!"
"You think I'll value it?" Rose laughed at her stupidity. "I already have someone to warm the bed. Just
look forward to it."
Rose ignored Sophie, who bit her like a mad dog when she saw her, and stepped past her toward her
bedroom.
At the moment she walked past Sophie, the tray and the soup that Sophie was holding fell to the
ground and smashed at her feet.
"Rose, stop!" Sophie called Rose, who walked on without looking back. "Why did you break the soup I
cooked for Sky? Why?"
"I have no time to watch you act." Rose still did not look back.
"What's the matter?" Sky, hearing the noisy, came immediately, and his eyes fell on Rose who was
facing him.
"Sky... I accidentally dropped the soup that I prepared for you. It has nothing to do with my sister. She
didn't bump into me on purpose." Sophie acted pathetic after Sky arrived.
"I'll do it right away." She squatted down and scrambled to pick up the broken bowl, but was cut by
hands and the blood flowed out, "Ah... it hurts..."
Hearing that, Sky came forward, squatted down and took her hand, "Don't touch it. It doesn't matter.
Let servants clean it."
"But this is your favorite soup. How clumsy I am. Don't blame Rose." Sophie tried to speak good words
for Rose, "It's my fault that I married you when I knew my sister loves you... It's my fault..."
And then she looked up at Rose with tears in her eyes and said, "I don't complain her, but I don't allow
you to vent your anger on Sky. Rose..."
Sophie couldn't help crying any more. She looked so weak and cries so hard that any man would feel
distressed by her pitiful look.
Sky frowned and helped Sophie up, and wrapped her fingers with the handkerchief he was carrying.
Rose was in no mood to stay any longer and turned to leave.
"Stop!" said Sky coldly.
"Why should I stop when you tell me to, brother-in-law?" Rose smiled softly and brightly. That address
sent his ears painful, and made him frown all the more, "Rose, please be nice."
"Of course I'm nice." Rose looked at Sophie, who was leaning against him, "You have to remember that
you are my sister's husband and she is the only one who would listen to you. You still have to be like
her and call me sister. Have you heard about an elder sister being obedient to her brother-in-law? It is
so unbelievable."
"Rose, I haven't gotten even with you for what you have done. What do you want by doing this now?"
Sky looked down at the debris, "Don't go too far. It is for grandmother's sake that I do not want to
mention what happened in those days. It is also to save your face. If you do not cherish it, then do not
blame me for being cold."
"Well, I'd like to see what you would do." Rose didn't mind the threat. "I've never seen you like this
before, and I'm looking forward to it. Why don't we talk alone...?"
"Sky, my hand hurts..." Sophie, on the other hand, was distraught.
She did not want to and did not dare to leave Rose and Sky alone.
"Does it hurt? More pain is still to come." Rose's eyes were sharp, "Take care of yourself, my dear
sister."
