Bright was undoubtedly the most distinguished guest at such an occasion. People from all walks of life
wanted to curry favor with him, taking pride in the opportunity to speak with him.
He nodded as a greeting to anyone and then walked straight to the place where Chandler and the
others were in the crowd.
Those who followed his gaze were surprised that he would take the initiative to find someone.
"Mr. Bright is here too. How lively." Timothy stood behind Rose. "Do you want to head over?"
"I... don't want to go there." Rose shook her head with a sad expression.
In fact, Rose was wondering why he came. He didn't tell her that he would come to this banquet today.
What was he here for? Was he worried about William or did he come to act with her?
"Are you afraid of facing him?" Timothy assumed this was the situation Rose was in, so he spoke to
encourage her. "I will always stand behind you and support you. Although there is a gap between Mr.
Bright and me, my love for you is real. Since he is so at ease, then you have to face it bravely to let him
know that you can also be at ease without him. I am supportive of you proving yourself."
Rose hesitated, "I..."
"The first step is definitely difficult, but as long as you take on one step with your left foot, your right foot
will keep up. Don't you want to go over and listen to what he has to say to Uncle Chandler?" Rose
finally mustered up the courage. "Let's go."
Rose stepped forward. Originally, there were six people, the Linder couple and the two Tanner couples.
Now that Bright joined, together with William and Matthew, it was very lively and was also the center
and focus of the entire banquet hall.
They greeted Bright, but suddenly May fainted and leaned against Sam.
"Axian (Mom), what's the matter with you?" Sam supported May, who was weak in her feet.
"I'm fine. It's just anemia. This is an old problem." May took advantage of Sam's strength to stand
steadily.
"Sky, have the driver take your mother home to rest." Sam saw her pale face and was worried.
May shook her head and insisted on staying. "I'm fine. I'll just rest a bit."
"Then I will help my mother sit down." Sky helped May to the rest area.
May took the opportunity to take a close look at Bright when she passed by him.
"Please excuse my wife," Sam said.
"It's okay." Everyone was understanding.
Rose walked over slowly, hiding her emotions and changing to a good state. With a smile on her face,
she looked like a fairy who had just entered the banquet hall, looking radiant.
It was just that Bright didn't look at her from beginning to end, let alone take a glance.
"Bright and Rose shouldn't be this unfamiliar with each other," thought the people who knew about their
relationship.
Especially when Chandler saw that Bright and Rose hadn't interacted at all or even made eye contact,
he was a little worried about what was wrong between them.
But their relationship could only be a secret, so Chandler couldn't ask about it in public.
"Are you okay?" William saw her leave for a while and found that her eyes were slightly red.
"I'm fine. It was just stuffy in here, so I went for a walk," said Rose while smiling. "I'm better now."
William naturally felt that something was not right between Rose and Bright, as if they hadn't seen each
other.
But Rose said that very few people knew about their relationship as husband and wife, so she asked
him to keep it secret and not say anything in public. Otherwise, he would definitely ask for the whole
story.
"Mr. Bright rarely came to City J these days. Is it because work is too busy?" asked Sophie.
"Work actually isn't busy. It's just that my wife has become obsessed with cooking recently. She made
different things every day and asked me to go back and taste it for myself." As Bright spoke about his
wife, his fierce eyes became gentle. "I can't disagree with her and I can't do anything about her…"
He obviously sounded like he was spoiling her as opposed to reprimanding her or being helpless. He
was subtly showing off their relationship.
William frowned when he heard and was slightly angry. It was obvious that Rose was here, so why did
Bright say that Mrs. Lee was at home? He made it sound like Rose wasn't Mrs. Lee.
Was Rose lying to him? No, she had never lied to him since he knew her.
What exactly was going on?
William looked at Rose suspiciously, and the latter blinked her eyes twice. A shrew light flashed by,
beckoning him not to speak but continue watching.
He had no choice but to suppress his anger and observe in secret. Rose wasn't anxious, so what was
he anxious for?
If Mrs. Lee was someone else, it wouldn't be bad if Rose truly lied to him. At least it meant she was
single, and he still had a chance.
Although they agreed that they were going to be friends, he still wanted more.
"Mr. Bright really loves Mrs. Lee. You are such a good husband," praised Sam, who didn't know the
details.
"Thank you, Mr. Sam." Bright's voice was cool and pleasant. "Women are troublesome. If I don't listen
to her, then she would be upset, and there won't be peace anymore. So, if you want to have a peaceful
day at home, you have to listen to your wife."
"You are right, Mr. Bright. It's important to be a gentleman and treat women well, let alone your wife."
Sam was also well-known for treating his wife well. He had a loving relationship with his wife.
Chandler and Joy couldn't even speak, nor did they dare to reply. After all, their daughter, Rose, was
the other woman. They couldn't speak about it in public.
They could only laugh in embarrassment, but the more they thought about it, the more frustrated they
felt.
"Mr. Bright came alone? Why didn't you bring your wife to the banquet? I heard that Mrs. Lee is also
from City H, so it would've been a good opportunity for us to meet her and learn about which family she
is from," said Sam.
"She is indeed from City H, and she came back with me this time. It's just that she is not feeling well, so
she's resting in the hotel." This was the first time Bright spoke about his wife in public. The way he
talked about her made women envious.
Sophie heard Bright talk about bringing Mrs. Lee to City H and was both surprised and shocked. If Mrs.
Lee knew about the other woman and confronted Rose, then there would be something to look forward
to.
"Mr. Bright loves Mrs. Lee way too much and doesn't want us to meet her, right?" Sophie, who was
spectating, found the right opportunity to join the conversation. "We are all envious of Mrs. Lee for
having Mr. Bright's love."
"Doesn't Mr. Sky love Mrs. Tanner?" Bright looked at Sophie whose face flushed slightly after hearing
his rhetorical question.
After Sky helped his mother, these were the words he heard, causing his expression to turn cold
slightly.
