Bright smiled as he read the message and the affection rippled in his eyes, which made the driver feel
sweet for the couple.
'Then don't miss me too much.'
Bright sent the message over with confidence.
He could imagine how disdainful Rose was, but he would figure out a way to make her give in.
As expected, Rose replied, 'Don't think too much. I won't miss you!'
'Well, let's wait and see.' Bright played with his phone on his fingertip, and looked sideways out of the
window. The way he put his finger on the lips and pondered was very attractive.
When Bright arrived at the company, he threw himself into meetings and then listened to summary
reports from various departments.
He would leave City H and return to City J in a week, so he had to get all things done before someone
was sent over to take over his work.
Bright read the important documents in his office and signed the ones that needed to be signed.
He put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his eyes to relax himself.
There was a knock at the door and he let the person in.
Bill walked in and put a document pouch in front of Bright. "Mr. Lee, this is what you asked me to check
today. I have got the result."
"Good." Bright opened his eyes.
He picked up the documents pouch on his desk, and took out the papers. Flipping through the papers,
he had already known the important messages and then put the papers back to the pouch.
"Well, well done." Bright was pleased that Bill had finished the task before he got off work. "You can go
now."
"Mr. Lee you, won't you go home?" Bill thought Bright was waiting for the results of his research. Now
that he had brought the results over, Mr. Lee should go home now.
"No, I won't go back now." Bright was unhurried.
Bill felt it strange. When it was time to leave work, Bright couldn't hide his happy look that he could go
home and be with his wife. But today, why was he taking his time? Was it possible that Mr. Lee had a
quarrel with Mrs. Lee?
"Mr. Lee, you are not driven out by Mrs. Lee so you can't go home, are you?" Bill said cautiously.
Bright glanced at Bill with a cold look. "Don't you want to get off work on time? And there are still many
papers --"
"Mr. Lee, I have an appointment with a friend. So, goodbye!"
Before Bright could finish his words, Bill flew off his feet, and ran fast away from the office.
Bright looked at the documents and thought for a while. He then took a picture of the documents and
sent it to Rose, but kept the important contents hidden.
He put away his phone and glanced at it again before returning to work.
When Rose saw the messages, it was time for dinner. Bright, who usually went home on time, had not
come home. Although Rose was calm on the surface, she was already upset.
She picked up the phone and checked it several times. Finally, she saw Bright's message, but it was
just a picture of some information about Nathan.
It was clearly Bright's trick. He just wanted her to compromise. 'What a stingy man he is.' thought Rose.
Rose bit her lips and looked at Doris, who was playing with her Barbie princess.
"Doris, it's almost dinner time and Daddy hasn't come back yet. Do you miss Daddy?" Rose asked her
daughter.
"Yes," Doris replied.
"Then ask Daddy when he will be home for dinner." Rose raised an eyebrow at her daughter, "but you
can't tell Daddy that it's Mommy who asked you to do so."
"Why?" Doris asked with doubts in her big black and white eyes.
"Because Mommy and Daddy are playing a game, and whoever starts talking to each other will lose
first. Do you want Mommy to lose?" Rose smiled at her daughter.
"No." Doris shook her head. "But I don't want Daddy to lose either."
Rose sighed to herself. Daughters are always their father's sweethearts. "How about this: we won't
punish him if Daddy loses."
Doris thought for a moment, then agreed.
Rose pointed to the children's telephone watch in Doris's hand and indicated that she should use it to
call Bright.
Doris did so. After a few seconds did Bright pick up the phone. "Daddy," Doris said sweetly.
"Honey, what's the matter with calling Daddy?"
When Bright saw Doris calling him, he knew that Rose did not want to talk to him, so she asked Doris
to call him.
"Dad, I miss you. When will you come back from work to have dinner with me?" Doris's acting skills
were good.
Rose watched at Doris quietly and gave her a thumbs-up.
"Dad is working, and I have to finish the job before we can go back to City J," said Bright.
"Daddy, you must be very tired." Doris felt a little guilty when she heard Bright say so. After all, she was
helping her mother, so she felt that she had betrayed her father.
"For this family, for you and Mommy, Daddy doesn't feel tired." Bright said it on purpose.
Doris said, "Daddy, no matter how busy you are with your work, you have to take care of yourself. You
have to have dinner. So, Daddy, come back for dinner."
"Baby, you have a meal first. Don't wait for me. I will come back when I finish the work." Bright resisted
her daughter's concern and did not waver in his resolution.
But Rose, listening to Bright's answer, could feel that he would not come back for a while.
Unless she was willing to compromise.
When Doris hung up the phone, she looked at Rose, "Mommy, Daddy is working so hard. Why don't we
bring him some food? I don't want Daddy to be hungry, and don't play any games with Dad. Dad is
working hard for the family, and you should care more about him. If you lost, I also let Daddy not to
punish you."
Hearing what Doris said, Rose smiled and carried Doris in her arms. "Doris is such a good girl."
"Then let's bring him some food and give Dad a surprise." Doris felt Rose's warm palm on her hair.
"Yes, let's go." Rose kissed her daughter's forehead and her heart softened.
At the moment, she did not even care whether she would win or lose.
"Mommy is so good." Doris put her arms around Rose's neck and kissed her on the face.
