Rose watched Thomas leave in the rain, and she felt mixed feelings. She didn't mean to hurt others
feelings, but there was something she couldn't control.
"He has gone. You seem to be unwilling to let him go." Bright was unhappy to see Rose watch Thomas
leave.
"I didn't. I just feel embarrassed," Rose sighed.
Although Thomas was born into a rich family, he had no bad habits, and always acted like gentleman
and was polite. There were many girls who loved him, but she never thought he would fall in love with
her.
Nora's eyes were so sharp that she could even tell that Thomas liked her.
"Yes, you did, as you have broken a man's heart," Bright joked, eyeing carefully her picturesque brow
and eyes and said, "Why there are so many people chasing you?"
"No, I don't think so," Rose denied. "I don't know why he will love me," Rose said. "When we were at
school, Nora was the brightest girl in the class. It was Nora who had so many people chasing after her."
"Then why would he fall in love with you?" Bright raised his eyebrows, waiting for her answer.
"That's what I want to know, too, but I think he's blind." Rose lowered herself in front of Bright and
fawned on him.
"He's blind?" Bright grinned, "He's not blind! Would a man be blind if he could appreciate my woman?
Do you think I'm blind, too?"
Rose smiled and didn't know what to say.
Rose put her arm around Bright's and changed the subject, "I have an appointment with Nora today
and asked you not to pick me up. Why do you suddenly show up? Who's going to pick up Doris?"
"Are you going to let him drive you to Nora's house if I don't come?" Bright didn't want to change the
subject, "Now that you're married and have a daughter, you should always remember you can't get in
the car of any strange man. And you are not allowed to accept flowers from men other than me."
"I have kept that in mind, so I didn't take it." Rose knew Bright had seen Thomas sent her flowers.
"Have you been here long ago, but didn't show up just to wait for a right time?"
That was the only way he would know about the flowers stuff.
"It's raining and would not be easy to get a crab, so I come to pick you up. But I didn't expect to catch a
good show." Bright missed her all the time.
"You didn't come to pick me up but wait until the right time? Bright, did you do that on purpose?"
Unsatisfied with his performance, Rose hit him lightly.
Bright grabbed her small hand and said, "Aren't you afraid that people will see me? So, I was waiting
for you in the distance and was ready to pick you up to give you a surprise, but I did not expect that
brat was faster than me, and it did give me a surprise. He dared to covet my wife, of course I have to
teach him a lesson."
"Shall we get on first? It's raining harder," said Rose.
Bright pulled open the door and let Rose in first, and then he got in.
The driver got on and restarted the car and drove away.
"You've come to pick me up. Then what about Doris?" Rose took a white towel and wiped Bright's wet
left shoulder.
Just now he was protecting her from the rain, and let her stand under the umbrella so that his left
shoulder was wet with the rain.
"I asked Nora to pick her up. If she wants to see Doris, she'll pick her up."
Bright took off his suit jacket and Rose took it and folded it carefully.
"You're a real boss." Rose held the suit in her arms. "It seems that only you can boss around Ms.
Cooper."
"I wouldn't dare boss around Ms. Cooper, but Ms. Cooper can boss around many people," Bright
denied.
"Like Alan?" Rose looked sideways at Bright, who was lounging on the couch. "Nora and Alan's
marriage is a family marriage. There is no love in their marriage. If it weren't for that man... Nora would
not be so self-indulgent."
"That man?" Bright frowned curiously, "Who is that man?"
"Someone that Nora loved." A touch of sadness rose under Rose's eyes.
"Are they not destined to be with each other? Or is there a betrayal?" Bright was a little more curious
today.
"He's gone, so they are separated forever." Rose lowered her eyes and pinched her fingers. "So that's
the hardest thing to face and bear and that's why Nora let herself marry anyone."
"This is her own choice, and she should bear the consequences of her choice. She is an adult." Bright
reached out and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
Rose put her head on Bright's shoulder. "So, compared to Nora, I feel very lucky. At least I am with the
people I love. It's just that I want Nora to have someone who loves her and cares about her."
"You should cherish me if you know how good I am." Bright took her hand and put it to his thin lips and
kissed it. "I don't think Alan is all bad. At least he cares about Nora and fulfills his duty as a husband."
"If he really doesn't care about Nora, then he wouldn't her up at the clubhouse on Jayden's birthday, so
don't think too much about it. Everyone will have their own happiness sooner or later. It's just a matter
of time."
"Yes," Rose nodded.
The rain gradually died down. When they reached Nora's, it became a drizzle.
"Will you come in with me?" Rose got off the car and Bright held the umbrella for her. "It will make you
feel uncomfortable if I come without being invited."
Rose didn't expect Bright to be so "thoughtful" and didn't say anything more. She stood on tiptoe to
give him a grateful kiss on his cheek.
"Oh, that's so... What a display of love affection." Nora's playful voice rang out at this moment.
Nora wore a nude silk dress with a cross neckline and a loose bow at the waist. Her wavy long hair
rested on her shoulder, making her look very charming.
Alan held the umbrella for Nora, so careful that not a slight drop of rain could land on Nora.
Rose stood straight after being caught, though her face was a little hot.
"I will give Rose to you. Take good care of her and not let strangers get close to her!" Bright reminded
Nora.
Seeing that Rose shot a glance at Bright, Nora raised her eyebrows at him.
Bright seemed to mean more that he said.
