Sky was stumped by grandpa's incisive question.
His smile faded away. It seemed that he was not willing to answer such a question, with his head
lowered.
Through Sky's expression, grandpa knew he was right. After hesitating for a while, he said, "What was
going on between you and Rose? How could you marry Sophie and Rose marry Bright?"
Grandpa was not gossipy, but because it was related to his two granddaughters, especially Rose, he
had to make it clear.
"It will be fine if you are unwilling to tell. I can understand." Grandpa continued to explain, "I don't mean
to pry into your privacy. I am just caring about you."
Sky put a small stick into the stove, watching it burn and said, "It was all because of me…"
He briefly told grandpa what had happened five years ago and what was going on now.
"Grandpa, what should I do?" Sky was so painful, "It was I that betrayed Rose at the beginning. I am so
bitching that she was still on my mind and I wanted to get her back. However, she had already been
married."
Frowning, grandpa said, "What a pity! Maybe you are not destined to be a couple. Now that you have
all found your partner, no matter what happened and how deeply you loved each other before, you
can't go back. After all, it is immoral to break her family."
"I know it is immoral, so I can only restrain myself." Sky looked straight at grandpa, "To be honest, I
think Rose married Bright because she wanted to give Doris an intact family. It is all for responsibility
but not for love."
"There is no happiness in a marriage without love. Trapped in such a hell, won't she be painful? In
addition, I don't think she doesn't love me anymore as we have loved each other so deeply."
Sky had always recalled their good old days. Their meeting each time was full of ardent anticipation,
while separation was full of sorrow. They had spent their youth together. How could they forget such a
pure affection?
"In my opinion, they are not like what you said. There is love for Rose in the eyes of Bright." Grandpa
drew a conclusion through observations yesterday.
"But, grandpa, I have heard Rose talking about divorce with him." Sky insisted, "If there is no problem,
how would they talk about this?"
"Their marriage is their business. No matter if they divorce or not, we don't have the rights to interfere
in. Therefore, Sky, don't torture yourself. Free her and yourself, so that you can go ahead." Grandpa
persuaded him not to think about the past, "Let it go. We should look forward."
"Grandpa, I am afraid that… I can't pretend nothing happened and just look forward when I knew the
truth at that time." Sky clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry. I won't break their marriage. If Rose
initiates a divorce, I will chase her again. If she insists, I will stand behind her in silence and spend the
rest of my life paying her back, even if it means losing my own life."
Hearing that, grandpa was embarrassed. After all, Sky and Bright were both his grandsons-in-law and
he liked them both.
In his eyes, Bright was cultured with high EQ, who was worthy of Rose's reliance. And Sky was as
good as him, but was not that lucky.
"I don't want you to lose your life. Just live well." Rose stood at the kitchen door, serious.
Grandpa looked at Rose. Sky stood up behind the stove, "Rose…"
"I paid a lot to save your life five years ago. How can you throw it away easily? What do you regard my
efforts as? If I knew you would be like this, I would not have saved your ass!" Rose scolded him, "Sky,
life is precious. Cherish it."
"Rose, I know you still love me, right?" Sky stepped forward, slowed down when it was only two steps
away from her, approached carefully and opened his arms trying to embrace her.
Rose backed away, which meant rejection. Sky froze with his arms stopping in mid-air. She said,
"There is only friendship between us without love. I only have Bright in my mind and I just want to be
his good wife."
This was her goal and rule set by herself. She owed Bright too much. She should bravely confront and
solve the problem.
She would be Bright's backer, letting him not worry about her. When getting home, he could have a
warm dinner.
She wanted to give Bright a warm family which belonged to them only.
Sky put down his hand, with the light disappearing from his eyes.
This was the first time she had expressed her firm love for Bright.
Sky really couldn't accept that she had loved another man. He clenched his fists and teeth.
"Rose, I just want to protect you as you did. This is my wish." Sky lowered his head and left.
Grandpa looked at Sky leaving and then his gaze shifted to Rose who looked indifferent.
"Grandpa, do you think I am so cruel? I have to be! I can't give him any illusions because I don't love
him anymore." Rose said peacefully, "I have Bright and Doris. What I should do is cherish them."
"You are right. It is only because he cannot accept the fact within a short time. We should give him time
and space." Grandpa was understanding, "Don't blame yourself. Nobody can help him, except himself."
When they were still talking, Sky came out with his suitcase and backpack. Grandpa stopped him,
"What are you doing, Sky? It is time for breakfast."
"Grandpa, I have decided to leave today. When you want to see me in the H City, I will be with you for
sure." Sky turned his head and stared at grandpa.
"Come on! Have breakfast first! How can you leave hungry?" Grandpa walked out of the kitchen and
came up to him, "Have breakfast with me. Come on."
