Her childhood memories with Bright saddened her when she remembered them now.
Her eyes were blurred with tears, but she restrained herself from crying. "Bright, what I'm doing today is
very much like what Dylan did ten years ago. I keep chasing after you despite your rejection… If
possible, I wish I wasn't as mature so that I wouldn't be one move too late, and you wouldn't have been
stolen by someone else…"
She bit her lip and felt waves of pain splashing in the deepest part of her heart that she couldn't calm
down nor control her emotions. In the end, tears streamed down her face.
"Lina, I haven't been stolen by someone else. I found you a family member, someone who will cherish
you and pamper you like I do. Wouldn't it be nice having one more person to love you from now on?
Why do you have to think that I was stolen from you? Calm down and don't worry, okay?" Bright's tone
was as gentle as possible.
It was difficult for him to watch her cry. After all, she was a girl he loved like a sister from childhood to
adulthood. He couldn't bear to see her hurt.
If it was someone else who made her cry, he would definitely not let him off. But this person was
himself, and he couldn't let himself be moved.
This was not only about feelings and marriage, but also about his respect for his wife. He wanted Lina
to know his bottom line.
"It seems that she has won Bright's heart. Will she really treat me as kindly as you do?" Lina asked
him.
"Of course, trust my taste," Bright comforted her and calmed her down. "You'll how great she is once
you get to know her."
"Then I want to meet her. Can I?" Lina begged. "You guys got married yet I didn't even give you any
wedding gift, so I'll treat you guys to a meal. How about today? I'm in City H already. I want to meet
her."
"If she treats you well and can give you happiness, then I won't be worried. I won't want anything else.
I'll be your sister and give your guys my most sincere wishes. I'll also respect and love her like how I
respect and love you."
Lina endured the turbulent waves of feelings she felt. She wanted to meet the other party because only
by knowing her enemy and herself would she be able to win. She needed to know who the other party
was, otherwise, how could she say that she loves the love rival when she never met her?
Bright hesitated. He just gave Rose a divorce agreement today. He wondered whether she was done
considering.
If she agreed to divorce, then he couldn't ask her to pretend to be a loving couple with him in front of
Lina.
He didn't tell Lina about his plans to divorce Rose only because he didn't want to give Lina hope. Even
if he got divorced, he would still think of Lina as a sister, and his attitude towards her wouldn't change.
"She has been very busy at work recently. I'll ask her. If she has time, I'll arrange for you guys to meet.
If not, then next time." Bright saw her calm down and felt relieved.
"If I can't meet her today, then Bright, please treat me to a meal and take me around. She's busy with
work and can't spend time with you anyway. How about you give me some of your time instead?" Lina
proposed. In fact, she wanted to be alone with him more than to meet her love rival. She was abroad
for three years and hadn't spent time with him properly in a long time.
"Okay. I'll accompany you," Bright had no choice but to agree.
"You can't go back on your promise to me," Lina confirmed again.
"No regrets," Bright said.
At this moment, Lina rushed into Bright's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his narrow waist.
She was in his arms and felt his scent around her as she breathed, a smell that she missed very much.
She really wanted to never leave his arms. She only wanted his arms and chest for the exclusive use of
her forever… She would definitely try to get him back.
Bright instinctively wanted to reach out and push her away, but when he put his hand on her shoulder,
her voice was soft and pitiful. "Bright, you didn't hug me when I went abroad. This is what you owe me.
I just want to hug you. I miss your warm embrace so much..."
"Lina, we are no longer the same as when we were children. Even brothers and sisters shouldn't hug
each other so intimately," Bright said while trying to push her away.
At this time, the office door was pushed open, and a small figure ran in happily but was shocked by the
scene before her.
"Little princess, slow down..." Masie chased in from behind but saw a scene that she shouldn't see.
She turned away wisely and lowered her head, using actions to indicate that she hadn't seen anything.
Bright saw Doris standing still and pushed Lina away. The latter was a little embarrassed.
"Sweetie, come here. Let me introduce Lina to you." Bright waved at Doris.
Doris soon returned to normal. With a bright smile on her pretty face, she ran over and took Bright's
hand. "Dad, look. Masie took me shopping, and we bought a lot of books."
Doris called Bright "dad" so clearly that Lina felt uncomfortable.
She wasn't shocked at all that Doris would appear and address Bright as "dad" because she heard
from Zoe that Bright married a woman who had a child. Although Bright was sure that this child was
his, she suspected that she wasn't Bright's biological daughter just like Mr. Lee.
Lina was angrier when she thought of this. Bright was willing to accept and marry a woman with a
child... what kind of magic power did this woman have that made Bright so "submissive"!
She felt bad for Bright and herself! So she had to meet and get to know this woman!
"I'm happy as long as you like them." Bright touched the top of her hair. "Sweetie, this is—"
"Dad, I really like this book. Can you teach me how to read it? There are a lot of words in it that I don't
know." Doris immediately took out the book for Bright to see.
"This is Lina. How about I ask her to teach you how to read?" Bright wanted to bring the two of them
closer. "Lina, this is my daughter, Doris."
"Doris is so cute." Lina's smile deepened. "Can you let me teach you?"
"Dad, I don't think we should bother Lina with something like this. She's an outsider after all." Doris
smiled at Lina but already categorized Lina as a vixen who seduced her dad.
"Lina is also considered to be dad's younger sister. Not an outsider."
"But to Doris, everyone except dad and mom is an outsider. Only the three of us are a family." Doris
said with a serious face.
"There is no way that a vixen like you is going to seduce dad when mom isn't here!
With Doris here, you definitely won't succeed." Doris thought.
