At night, after taking the bath, Bright and Rose went to bed. It was the second time for them to share
the same bed. Although she was still a bit nervous, she was calmer than yesterday.
She knew that not everything followed her ideas, and doing what came naturally was the best.
Seeing her lost in her mind with her lowered head, Bright asked, "Are you absent-minded again?"
"No, I miss Doris." She raised her lips and smiled, releasing the burden in her heart.
Since she left yesterday, she didn't contact Doris at all. She didn't know whether Doris would blame her
for leaving her in City or blame her for leaving for City H.
"It's been solved. Next time we can bring her home." Her shiny smile shone his eyes. He felt he was
under the warm sunshine in spring.
"Thank you." Rose was grateful for that he enabled her to keep Doris's real identity confidential.
Rose knew she shouldn't cheat him and she should tell him the truth.
In the past, she didn't dare to tell the truth because she was afraid he would grab Doris from her and
she could never see Doris.
Now she couldn't tell the truth as she loved him. She tried to get rid of the pain
Sky had given her and attempted to accept a new love. She was afraid that Bright would be angry,
blaming her for regarding him as a lifebelt.
Rose was torn by the situation, upset. Only by hiding Doris's identity and the incident that happened 5
years ago could she continued her love with Bright.
If their love couldn't last one day and they had to end the relationship, she thought they would leave a
good memory to each other.
"Don't be silly." Bright's eyes fixed on her cellphone that was put on the bedside table, "It's not too late.
We can make a video call to Doris."
"Okay." She took the phone and clicked on Nora's Wechat account.
After a while Nora picked up the call. Nora's beautiful face appeared on the screen, "For Doris or for
display of affection?"
Nora didn't see Bright on the screen but she saw his hand intimately draped over Rose's shoulder.
Rose noticed it as well. She wanted to pull away his hand. On hearing Nora's words, Bright held Rose
more tightly and even kissed her, which really added fuel to the fire and annoyed Nora.
"Rose, can't you be low-profile?" Nora covered her eyes with one hand, "I feel ashamed for you."
Rose pushed Bright and gazed at him, wishing him to be serious, "Where is Doris?"
"You attach more importance to love than friendship. Do you still remember your daughter?" Nora
sneered at her.
"My good friend, you're the best." Rose played charm on her, "Only you understand me well."
Nora mocked, "It should be Mr. Lee."
"Noraaa…" Rose put her palms together devoutly.
Bright squeezed himself onto the screen, "Miss Cooper, we don't mind you showing off love with Mr.
Way."
"Mr. Lee, don't be too much." Nora bit her lips.
He clearly knew that her marriage with Alan Way was for alliance. Since the base of their marriage was
not love, how could they show off love?
"If you don't wanna see us showing off love, go get Doris to chat with us and you can calm down
aside." Obviously Bright wanted to drive her away.
Rose slightly pinched him on the waist. Bright was sensitive of itch, but he still tried to suppress his
smile. He caught her hands, "Be cautious. Or I will punish you."
"OMG. It's really embarrassing." Nora sighed and shook her head and called Doris, "Babe, your mum is
calling you."
"Coming." Doris's happy voice came into their ears.
Rose pushed away Bright to make him behave serious.
However, he still held her waist with one hand. The heat of his dry palm spread onto her skin through
the pajama, but he could feel her nice skin.
When Rose saw Doris' cute face appearing on the screen, she didn't dare to push away Bright any
more.
She sat still, trying to keep distance with Bright though it didn't work at all. Anyway she felt much better.
"Mummy." Doris smiled brightly and waved her little hands to Rose.
"Doris." Bright waved at her.
"Handsome uncle? Mummy, are you with him?" Doris was surprised and delighted.
"Doris, do you miss Mummy or me? If you miss me, I will tell you a piece of good news." Bright was
good at making kids happy.
"Both." Doris didn't want to offend either of them, "Handsome uncle, what good news? Are you dating
Mummy?"
"Eh-hem…" Doris was startled by Doris's abrupt naïve words.
Bright gave a glimpse to "coward" Rose, "How do you know it?"
"It's so late and you stay in the same room. If you are not in love, why are you together?" Doris seemed
to be clear about love.
"Who taught you that?" Rose twisted her eyebrows, feeling dissatisfied, "Who do you learnt it from?"
"TV series." Doris pursed her lips.
"We are at work." Rose lied.
"I don't buy it." Doris gave her an expression of no cheating, "You are lying."
"I do fall in love with you mum." Bright claimed.
"Wow, fantastic!" Doris couldn't be happier, "Finally Mummy is in love."
Rose felt her head ache, was Doris her own daughter? Was she so poor in love? Her words seemed to
say that nobody else except Bright loved her.
Bright lifted his lips, smiling, "Doris, don't call me handsome uncle."
"Then what should I call you?" Doris considered with her head tilting to one side.
Rose had guessed Bright's real mind. He asked Doris to change the way of calling him because he
wanted to realize Doris's dream of having a father and he wanted to love her and take care of her in the
name of Dad.
Rose felt warm in the heart and tears nearly came out of her eyes.
She lowered her head, closing her eyes with long eyelashes, trying to stop the tears in her eyes.
"What about calling me Dad?" Bright looked at her with father's affection.
Doris was stunned. She stared at him for a long time and looked at Rose, "Mummy, can I call
handsome uncle Dad?"
"Dear Doris, sure, you can." Nora said. She held Doris in her arms, "If you call him Dad, nobody else
will say you are a kid without Dad and nobody else can bully you."
"I know handsome uncle is great, much greater than Ultraman, but…" She still looked at Rose, waiting
for her approval.
