Nora thought it was a good idea. It would not only fulfill her dream of having a child, but also further
develop the relationship between Bright and Rose.
"What do you think of that idea?" Nora continued, "Do you want your parents to have another baby?"
"It would be nice if mom and dad have a new baby, but I can't be your daughter." Doris didn't mind her
parents having another baby at all.
"Why? Am I unkind to you?" Nora winked her pretty eyes at Doris.
"You are very kind to me."
"Isn't aunt's place funny?"
"Not really."
"Is it because I have no delicious food here?"
"No, no."
"You don't like Auntie?"
"Yes, I love you very much."
Both of them asked and answered for a while. Doris replied that she was satisfied with the place and
liked Nora, but she did not want to be her daughter.
Nora was a little unhappy. Everything was fine here, but why Doris didn't want to be with her?
"Auntie, you are not a mother, so you may not understand that for children, no matter how good this
place is or how happy they are at this time, it is not as happy as staying with their own mothers.
Nothing in the world can replace their mothers." Doris held Nora's hand. When speaking of her mother,
her eyes were shining.
"Auntie, when you really be a mother, you will understand that no matter how hard the life is, even if
they are so poor that they can afford a bowl of porridge every day, even if they are living in a broken
and small house, even if wearing shabby clothes... they don't leave each other. They only feel happy
when they are together."
"Auntie, do you have a mother and father? If it were you, would you leave them?"
Nora had a dim look in her beautiful eyes and a bitter smile on her face.
She touched Doris's delicate face. "Doris, the world of children is like a fairy tale, but the world of adults
is cruel."
If it were her, she did not want to have such a father who cheated her, hurt her, and ruined her life.
He treated her like a walking dead, and considered her as a pawn for expanding his career and
exchanging interests.
Since this was the life he wanted, she did what he wanted, but it was her right to live it as she wished.
She didn't love Alan, so she wouldn't marry him or have children for him.
Alan also accepted that they were a loving couple in front of their parents and friends, but they lived
separately in private, and did not care about each other's private life.
She had lost her chance to choose her own marriage, so she would definitely choose her own life.
"Aunt..." Doris could feel Nora's sadness. "I'll spend more time with you later. Don't cry."
Nora did not know why she couldn't control her emotions. Her nose and eyes were getting sore, and
then her eyes felt stung. Not for a while, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Why are you crying, auntie?" Nora suppressed her sadness and smiled. "I have gotten over all this,
and I am not so fragile. Now I am happy."
"But you are not really happy." Doris's innocent eyes could see her through.
"Who told you that?" Nora smiled, scraping Doris's nose. "Let's go to bed."
Nora didn't expect to be seen through by a child. It was so humiliating.
Bright and Rose went to bed as well.
"Go to bed early. We have to catch the plane tomorrow." Rose put the pillow down behind her and
patted it twice, then she looked at Bright. "Are you telling the truth?"
"What?" Bright was still leaning back against the pillow, raising his black eyebrows. "What do you
mean?"
"Tomorrow we'll go back to City H together." Rose felt it was a little unreal.
He would fly to City H with her tomorrow, then stayed for a few hours and then returned back to City J.
wouldn't it a waste of time?
"When did I lie to you?" Bright glanced faintly at Rose.
Rose was rendered speechless, knitting her eyebrows and lost in thought for a moment. "You promised
to divorce me after three years, but you didn't do it."
"I was afraid you would cry, so I changed my mind." Bright said proudly.
"I cry?" Rose rubbed her eyebrows, and shouted at Bright, "No way."
"So, you're still thinking about the past?" Bright said coldly.
Rose was stunned, but then she calmed herself down, "Is that what you are thinking?"
"You were hesitant to ask Doris to call me dad because her biological father is still alive and you don't
want her to call anyone else daddy. You don't want anyone to replace Doris's biological father?" The
idea suddenly hit Bright.
In Bright's mind, Doris' biological father was Sky. Rose and Sky had story, and now they had become a
family and they would meet from time to time. Bright could not help thinking about what would happen
between them.
He had never cared so much about a woman before, and he even got jealous because of her.
Rose looked at Bright who looked grim and felt that he was really childish. The decisiveness and
determination had long gone.
The contrast really shocked Rose.
"What makes you think so? Rose cast him a look and asked, "Do you really think so?"
"What you have done makes me think so? Or what do you want me to think?" Bright stared at Rose.
So, he was not better that the one who had hurt her?
"Mr. Bright, no matter what you think, the only person in the world who can be Doris's father is you."
Rose said lightly, but with a strong determination, "You love her, you protect her, and you care about
her. No one is more qualified than you to be her father."
"You say this to make me happy, right?" Bright looked away.
"I only want to make you happy." Rose leaned against him, reassuring him. "I don't care for anyone
else."
Bright did not move. Only the warm light of the desk lamp in the room captured his chiseled physique,
which was as delicate as a perfect statue.
Rose couldn't help but look at him twice, and her eyes looked gentle by the warm light of the lamp.
She leaned over, put her head close to him, and then kissed him gently on the face, like a feather
gently swept over him, making him itchy...
"Will you stop being angry..."
Bright turned his head suddenly and kissed on her lips, silencing her voice, and did as he wanted to
her...
Rose clung to his shoulder and couldn't hold her breath. She was almost suffocated by his
kiss.
