Bright and Rose felt that they had been shocked.
The two of them looked at each other slowly and tacitly. What was going on? Both of them were
confused.
"This person probably didn't know that Rose was Mrs. Lee, so he thought Rose was Bright's lover,"
Hallie explained the relationship again.
"Who is this person?" Bright's eyes were fierce and as dark as ink.
"What do you want to do? Get back at him?" Francis guessed Bright's intentions.
"Someone like him doesn't want us to be happy. He needs to be dealt with!" Bright pressed his
fingertips against the table. "If we don't teach him a lesson, he will continue to harm others! Fortunately,
I didn't do anything wrong and my wife is also righteous, otherwise, there would be a serious
misunderstanding."
Bright reached out to hold Rose's hand and placed it in his palm.
"Smart talk." Rose struggled lightly, trying to withdraw her hand.
Bright held her hand tightly and interlocked fingers so that she couldn't escape at all. "Only for you."
He wouldn't bother doing it with anyone else.
In fact, he was not born as a cold person. It was just that he was only willing to be gentle to her.
"We are done with this matter for the time being. But what about the child in the photo?" In fact,
Francis' focus was on the child.
Faced with this difficult question, Rose became stiff that even the tips of her fingers instantly became
cold.
Bright felt her whole body go from relaxed to tense and became aware that she was flustered.
"Dad, the child—"
Francis interrupted Bright and stared at him sharply. "I'm asking Rose. Don't talk unless I asked you to
speak."
"That person said that you were once married then your husband died, and this child is the child of you
and your first husband, right?"
Rose met Francis' questioning gaze without fear.
"Rose, as long as I want to know, I have a way to get the truth. Now I hope you can tell me honestly."
Rose took a deep breath secretly and felt Bright holding her hand even more tightly as she was about
to answer the question.
She turned her head to look at Bright next to her. He frowned slightly, and his eyes told her not to tell
the truth, or at least not say what truly happened.
But Rose didn't want to deceive and conceal the truth. Faced with Francis' trust and Hallie's
gentleness, she couldn't lie to them.
"Dad, I have never been married, and the child belongs to me," Rose replied briefly.
Francis did not speak immediately but was thinking about her answer and how to continue the
conversation.
"The child belongs to you. She's not Bright's child and not the Lee family's child."
Rose lowered her long eyelashes slightly to cover the sadness in her eyes. She bit her lip and was
prepared to nod lightly.
"Dad, the child belongs to me." Bright still spoke out despite his father's warning.
Rose looked up in surprise, staring at him with round eyes. Her eyes widened with surprise and her
heart trembled violently.
Did he know the child belonged to him?
No... impossible. How would he know?
Rose continued to breathe deeply, and even her eyes were moist. She told herself to be calm.
She squeezed her other fist that her knuckles turned white.
"The child is five years old, but you got married three years ago. Why say that the child belongs to
you?" Francis thought Bright was lying.
The timing wasn't right at all, and they didn't know each other at that time.
"Dad, I met Rose five years ago. At that time, I didn't tell her my true identity. She thought I hid my
identity and approached her because I thought of her as one of those women who love money, so she
left me out of anger. I was young at that time and didn't look for her, so we were apart for two years."
"After she left me, she found out that she was pregnant. But she was stubborn, so she didn't tell me or
didn't look for me. Until three years ago, I met her again and realized that I hadn't gotten over her in the
past two years. She also still had feelings for me. Since we all still have feelings for each other and
have children, we decided to be together again to make up for what we originally regretted and become
a complete family for the child."
"Dad, this is how things are. It was my fault at first. Don't blame Rose. She suffered a lot these years as
she raised the child by herself. I just want to use the rest of my life to make up for her."
Bright said affectionately. As he gazed at Rose, his eyes were also very gentle, as if nothing in the
world could compare with Rose. There was a dark light flowing in his eyes, like a galaxy.
Rose was stunned by his gaze. She felt like a baby being held in the palm of his hand, cared for and
safe.
But what Bright said was all false. The feelings between them never existed. The only real things were
their marriage and the child, but he didn't know that the child actually belonged to him and was a
member of the Lee family.
And she would not say it, dared not say it, and could not say it.
Rose's eyes gradually became hot and moist. Even if these words were false and the love was false,
they still moved her.
"Moved?" Bright looked at her red eyes and gently hugged her in his arms.
"Bright, I didn't expect you to say that." Rose pursed her lips before bursting into tears and smiling. She
lowered her voice and spoke into his ear, "You are not afraid that I would pester you in the future?"
"How are you going to pester me?" Bright stroked the long hair that fell on her back with his palm.
"The three-year marriage contract is coming to an end in a blink of an eye. You are not afraid that I will
not sign or divorce, and continue occupying the position of Mrs. Lee?" Rose spoke softly. "I know that
things are so much easier as Mrs. Lee. I don't need to care about what others think, and everyone
treats me respectfully."
"There is no three-year agreement and no divorce. You can be Mrs. Lee at ease." Bright promised
solemnly.
Rose's heart tightened and she gently moved away from his arms.
She obviously just made a joke with him. Was he serious?
"I do what I say." Bright felt that this marriage was not as bad as he had imagined. Being with Rose and
Doris made him very happy. Perhaps this was the family he wanted.
"Are you stupid?" Rose stretched out her hand to put her palm on his forehead. "You obviously know
what I'm talking about..."
"I'm not kidding." Bright pulled down her hand and held it. "Dare continue with me?"
"Ahem..." Francis interrupted the sweet and affectionate couple and reminded them, "Bright, do you
know what you are talking about? You can't just randomly recognize someone as your flesh and blood,
especially for families like our Lee family."
"Dad, I can be responsible for what I say. How could I not recognize my child?" For Bright, Doris was
no different from his biological daughter. Otherwise, how would he feel so close to her?
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that the child is yours?" Francis looked at the two.
