Rose looked at the cute little girl who was pampered in her arms. Doris was serious. Although she was
young, she was clever.
Rose stretched out her right index finger and lightly pushed on Doris' forehead, "What does a little kid
know?"
"Mommy, I'm not young. I'm five years old and going to be in elementary school next year. I know a lot."
Doris raised her eyebrows, looking like she knew everything.
"Yes, you know a lot. But this thing..." Rose was interrupted by Bright.
He reached out and took Rose's hand, "We'll listen to our daughter in this matter."
Rose elbowed Bright's waist, "What are you talking about? She's just a child."
"I'm a child. But you also have to respect child. Because I'm a member of this family." Doris felt
neglected, "I have rights too."
"I want a sister anyway. Why don't we have a family meeting and vote by a show of hands?" Doris
reached out to tug at Bright's coat, "Daddy, you have to be fair. You can't listen to Mom just because
you like her. It's not fair to me."
"Silly girl. What nonsense are you talking about?" Bright looked at the displeased Doris, "I love mommy
the most. But mommy loves Doris the most. So, I love you the most too."
"Can you tell Daddy why you only like sisters?"
"Because my sister will be as cute and smart as me. She will also be a girl. But younger brothers are
mostly disobedient and very naughty. I don't want to worry about him." Doris said her thought.
"Then we'll vote now. I want a sister." Doris was the first to raise her hand and cast a vote.
"I vote for Doris." Bright took Doris' side.
Rose looked at the two people who were going to get into trouble and spoke to Doris, "Doris, listen, this
is not something that can be decided so hastily. A boy or a girl is all a life. It's not as simple as buying
cabbage at the market."
"We have to be responsible for this life. So, we have to think carefully before we decide it. I will discuss
this matter with your daddy later."
Doris did not fully understand, but nodded obediently.
"Well, then you play here. I'll go talk to Daddy about something." Rose then gave a wink to Bright and
told him to follow her out.
Bright then left the children's room with Rose and went to their bedroom.
Rose took a deep breath, "You want a baby?"
"You don't?" Bright asked in reply.
"I just don't think this is the best time to have another baby. I have a lot of things to do." Rose made an
excuse, "And I have no intention of having another child right now."
"For me, Doris is enough."
She didn't want to lie to him. So, she spoke frankly. She was selfish and couldn't tell Bright that Doris
was his child too and that it was enough for them to have her.
"If you can't accept that, you can reconsider our relationship. After all, there is still some time before our
marriage is over. The contract is still valid now." Rose endured the tinge of pain inside and said such
words.
"Why would you say something like this?" Bright felt Rose had misunderstood him, "I am not one to say
one thing and do another. I do love Doris as my own daughter. Otherwise, I would not have admitted
last time at the Lee family's villa that Doris was my child."
"To be honest, I do want a child. Because I have promised my dad that I would give him a grandchild,
so that he wouldn't let me have a paternity test with Doris. You know about it too." Bright's Adam's
apple moved, "And the time limit was six months."
"And I know you have a lot of things to do. I'm all for it. If you don't want a child now, we cannot make
plans for it now. I can figure out another way to talk to my dad. If you never want a child, then we can
do it. But I hope you can understand me and not say such harsh words."
"Not only will it hurt you, it will hurt me too."
Rose just looked down, not daring to look at Bright.
Bright reached out to support her shoulders, "Rose, unless you die, I will never let you go."
Rose's eyelashes trembled lightly a few times, "Bright, I am not worthy of you."
She cheated on him and hid something from him... But he was so protective and considerate of her.
How could she face him?
She felt that her liking for Bright was far less than his liking for her, and that she had not given him
nearly as much as he had done for her.
"I'll decide if you are worthy. If I think you are worthy, then you do." Bright took her into his arms, resting
his chin lightly on the top of her head, "Just remember that whatever you do, you have me, your
husband, behind you. So, go forward bravely. Do what you have to do and don't be soft-hearted. Give
them back tit for tat."
"OK." Rose reached out and hugged him tightly, "Bright, if ... I mean if you find out one day that I have
lied to you, what will you do?"
"Lie to me?" Bright touched her delicate eyebrows, "Rose, you'd better not lie to me. I don't know what I
will do. If you do lie to me, then I'll give you a chance to tell me now and I can let it go."
"So, you have lied to me? You look guilty now."
"I am not guilty." Rose tried to calm herself down, "It is you who lied to me. We have agreed to divorce
and be strangers after three years. Unexpectedly, we're going to live a lifetime now. Who do you think
is the liar?"
"Alright, I lied to you." Bright nodded in agreement, "So, how does Mrs. Lee want to punish me? It is
better to be corporal punishment. I'll accept it willingly."
His eyes, however, fell on the large bed not far away. What he meant was very obvious.
Rose pretended to know nothing and lifted her wrist to check the time, "It's almost six o'clock. I'll go
make dinner."
"I've asked the part-time maid to make dinner. So, you don't have to worry about it." Bright pulled Rose
back who was hastening to leave.
"Then I'll go and see if it's ready, and give a hand." Rose pulled his hand down, "It is time for Doris to
have dinner too. Please tell her to have dinner."
"Yes, honey." Bright pulled her into his arms and kissed her before releasing her as she wished.
Rose, who was shy, glared at Bright who had been up to mischief, "You are not serious."
"Can we have a baby if I am serious?" Bright replied and was poker-faced.
"Talk to the hand." Rose then ran away.
