Bright had been silent after driving out of the Linder family's villa. He did not say a word, and even his
face was cold and gloomy. Rose sitting next to him felt stressed and could hardly breathe.
Rose looked at Bright's cold profile, gently open her mouth, and tried to say something. But the words
died on her lips as she didn't know what to say.
What Sophie said was true. She did lie to Bright. So, she was the one who was guilty and couldn't deny
it.
Rose looked away and lowered her head. the shadows falling under her eyes to create a dark greenish
hue.
She crossed her hands with mixed feelings.
The cramped space in the car made the silence between them even more intense.
Bright drove back to Asgard Lake Community. After parking the car, he did not immediately get off.
Seeing he didn't get off, Rose also didn't move and seemed to be waiting for him to speak.
Bright sat for a few minutes and then said, "Get off the car and go home."
"Don't you... have anything to say to me?" Rose mustered the courage to speak first.
"We can talk about it after we go home." Bright unbuckled his seat belt and got off the car.
Rose followed him. Seeing Bright walk to the house, she rushed after him.
But she was so anxious and in such a hurry that she didn't pay attention to her feet and twisted her
ankle, "Ah..."
She instinctively screamed out. Bright, who was walking in front of her, heard her voice, turned to look
at her, and immediately turned back to help her.
"Why are you so careless? What are you thinking about?" Bright scolded her for her carelessness.
"I ... I'm fine." Rose tried to stand up and felt that nothing was wrong.
When Bright saw that she was fine, he was about to loosen his grip and let her go. Rose grabbed his
hand in a hurry while seeing this, "Are you mad at me?"
"No." Bright said lightly.
"But I clearly feel that you are angry." Rose could feel it, "You didn't talk to me the whole way, and didn't
smile when we got home. If you have something to say to me, just say it and I'm listening."
Bright, however, only stared at her for a moment, "Let's go inside first, okay?"
Bright withdrew his hand and walked inside.
Rose looked at her empty hand, and felt extra cold without Bright around.
She also entered the house. Bright had changed his shoes and gone upstairs. He went to Kathy's room
first.
He pushed the door open, turned on the wall light, and walked to Kathy's bed. Looking at her peaceful
sleeping face for a while, Bright tucked her in, kissed her on the forehead, and then left.
Rose saw what he did. Anyway, Bright did not dislike Kathy, but still cared about her very much.
Rose felt warm and followed Bright back to their bedroom.
Bright remained silent, took a robe, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Rose just sat there.
She was in an extremely bad mood and upset now.
It turned out that she was so afraid of losing Bright. When Bright got angry, she felt her mind was in
turmoil.
When Bright came out after the bath, Rose stood up and greeted him, "I have something to say to you."
"I'm tired today. I don't want to say or hear anything, and just want to rest." Bright threw the towel aside.
He was so cold, which upset Rose.
But any man who knew his wife had such a past would have been unable to accept it, right?
"Bright, I know it's wrong of me to hide the past. But that's just the past. We didn't even know each
other at that time. I can't change the past. If you are angry because of my past, I can only say I'm sorry
for not knowing you earlier." Rose pursed her lips and brought up the matter first.
Bright sat on the edge of the bed and remained silent.
"It was true that I slept with someone to give birth to a child to save Sky. It was not only because he
was my fiancé at that time, but also because he had saved my life. So, when he had an accident, I
could not stand by and watch him die. I did not know how I got the courage to make such a decision
and give birth to a child to save him. But now, I have no regrets about the decision. I said that I could
not change the past."
"I can only take the past as a lesson for my growth and always remind myself not to make the same
mistakes again. But I didn't expect to meet you and be with you now. But I swear I have never thought
of making use of you. I remember how good you are to me. I also try my best to treat you well as your
wife. This is my first time to be someone's wife, but I didn't do it well at last... Sorry."
"I have said all there is to be said. If you have any dissatisfaction or are going to make any decision,
including our deal... I have no complaints... After all, it's my fault to hide too much from you. " Rose
could not help but choke on the final words.
She then took a deep breath to calm herself down. But her eyes were still a little red.
Bright looked at Rose and felt distressed. But he did not want to forgive her so quickly.
"Do you think I'm angry because I listened to Sophie, or care about your past?"
Rose gently looked up at him, not understanding what he meant.
"You think I'm so superficial? I will be affected by just a few words? Or do you have too little trust in
me?"
"Aren't you angry at all? My past is indeed wretched and hard to speak out. As Sophie said, I am not so
perfect. I am also selfish. So, I harmed Kathy and let her be born with an unfair fate."
"Other people don't necessarily do better than you when they come across something like this. So,
you've done well." Bright pacified her.
"Really?" Rose was happy to win such praise from Bright.
Bright showed his attitude and position, "No matter what she says, I won't believe her. Because you are
my wife. If I don't even have basic trust in you, then I am not a man and much less worthy of being your
husband."
Rose listened carefully to what he said, and gradually calmed down. Bright's words gave her an inner
sense of security.
"Thank you for trusting me." Rose felt that she had misunderstood Bright.
"But Rose, do you trust me?" Bright switched the conversation to other subject, and his eyes were cold,
"Don't think that you are all right because I believe you. I am indeed very angry. Do with that what you
will."
