Bright's strength was just right, and the push made her stumble slightly, but not make her fall on the
ground.
Rose stood up and looked at Bright, who went on without looking back, but she felt safe.
Bright was her backing, so she could press ahead without any worries.
Rose got into the car when she saw Bright disappear into the lobby.
"Go." said Rose lightly.
Nora thought something was wrong with Rose and Bright. "What's wrong with you guys?"
"Nothing. I'll tell you later." Rose shook her head. "Let's go to your home first."
Nora did not ask further, and asked the driver to drive to her home.
At Nora's place, Rose was finally relaxed.
"Go and have fun yourself. I have something to talk to your aunt." Rose sent Doris away.
Doris was good, and Nora had made a special place for her as her children's room. She could do
whatever she wanted to do there.
Nora was making coffee in the open kitchen and Rose was relaxing on the couch.
It took a while before Nora brought two cups of freshly ground coffee. When she was back, she patted
on Rose's leg. "Are you asleep?"
"No." Rose sat up, feeling a little empty.
"How long did you do last night?" Nora couldn't restrain her curiosity. "Is Mr. Bright all right?"
"Damn you, what are you talking about?" Rose blushed at Nora's words, "I didn't do anything with him."
"Just chatting under a quilt?" Nora was surprised, but Rose nodded firmly.
She looked at Rose from head to toe and back and forth with serious eyes.
Finally, her eyes settled on Rose's face and she frowned. "It shouldn't be so."
"What?" Rose wondered as she held her coffee.
"Which man cannot be fascinated by your face and figure? A man would jump on you and sleep with
you. Mr. Bright and you are husband and wife. It is okay to have sex. Why hasn't he done anything?"
Nora analyzed.
"Do you think he's a prude or is he sick?"
"It's fine and there is nothing wrong with him." Rose took a sip of coffee, and the mellow taste spread
between her teeth.
"Have you tried? Dare you say he is fine? If he is fine, how could he not sleep you?" Nora gave Rose a
blank look.
"Of course I have..." Rose almost spilled the beans, but immediately corrected herself, "He's been
practicing every day. I am sure he has no problem. And we are husband and wife, but we are now in a
relationship. He said he would respect me and only when I say yes, we would do it."
"Mr. Bright is a gentleman, is he? Yes, he looks strong." Nora took a sip of her coffee. "Oh, right. Why
did he get to the airport and then leave alone? Does he have to fly anywhere else to work?"
"No, he goes back to City J." Starlight shone in Rose's eyes.
Nora caught the glint of her eyes. "So, he's coming and going? Is there anything wrong in the family?
Why left in such a hurry?"
"No." Rose denied, with a little girlish sweetness on her face. "He just wanted to be with me and get me
safely back to City H."
Nora finally understood, "Well. How sweet you are."
Rose took two more sips of coffee with satisfaction.
Those who are willing to spend money with you might not be the ones who love you, but those who are
willing to spend time with you must love you.
So, the world's most precious man is the one who is willing to spend time with you. Cherish that man,
especially when he is a busy person, and is willing to squeeze time to be with you.
Rose was moved by Bright's love.
After being away from Bright for at most an hour, she began to miss him, miss him by her side, miss
him holding her in his arms, miss his voice, and miss his kiss.
"It will be sweeter in the future." Rose answered.
Nora gave her a thumbs up. "It's good to see you like this. It's like you are being you again."
"Yes. I do feel like finding myself again." Rose thought so. "You can too. You are just lost right now."
"It's on me again." Nora sighed. "Not everyone is so lucky as you are to find your lost self. I don't feel
lost, I feel dead."
"Of course you can't find yourself with that mindset." Rose suddenly thought of the person she saw in
City Y, and after a long time of hesitation, she said, "Nora, I mean what if... What if he's not dead?"
Nora stared at her, with coffee in hand, in an elegant posture.
"You asked me the same question last time." Nora thought Rose had asked it twice. "Is there
something you're hiding from me?"
"I..." Rose bit her lips, but decided to tell her all she knew. "Nora, will you listen to me calmly?"
Nora nodded.
"One day at City Y, Jane and I were having dinner, and someone paid for us. When I ran out, the guy
was already in the car, and I just saw a little bit of his face through the raised window. I thought it
looked a lot like him... Of course, there are a lot of people in the world who look like each other. You
know, there are lost twin brothers or sisters, so I think I might be wrong."
Nora, however, was extremely calm and said, "I think you mistook it. Or maybe you believe it is him, so
you thought that man is like him."
And then she added, "He is dead. There will be no more of him."
"Well, let's drop this off." Rose felt relieved to say it, but it didn't help Nora.
Nora was calm on the surface, but in her heart, she knew better than anyone how much she wanted
him alive.
She said this because she did not dare to give herself a glimmer of hope, for fear that she would miss
him more, for fear that she would lose even the disguised happiness, and for fear that the marriage
would not be able to trap her.
"Tell me about you and Mr. Bright. Why did he push you when you left?" Nora quickly changed the
topic, "You said you will tell me when we are back."
"That's because we're looking for the man behind the frame..." Rose gave Nora a brief account of what
had happened, including the plan she had in mind.
