Chapter 400 She Misses Him Even When He's Around
Bright left with Rose in a cool way. From that day on, no one dared to look down on Rose anymore.
On the way back, Rose asked Bright, "What brought you here?"
"I happen have dinner here." Bright looked at her lovingly. "The one who invited me to dinner happened to choose the Club. Miss Stone had such a big party on her birthday that it was hard not to draw attention."
"That's why I came to see you. I didn't expect Mrs. Lee to be so envied and someone even thought I am an old and ugly man. How could I live with that?"
"Some people should be taught a good lesson before they learn how to stay low-key. They all know you are Mrs. Lee now. With me around, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
Bright caught Rose's hand. His eyes fell on her swollen face. "Does it still hurt?"
"It's much better." Rose shook her head. "I wouldn't have let it happen if I have been alerted. I never thought Mr. Sue's mother would bother me so much."
"No matter who she is, as long as someone dares to bully you, I won't let them go." Bright clenched her hand and said, "Just admit that you are Mrs. Lee in the future, and see who dared to be so rude."
"Do you think anyone will believe me if I say so?" Rose thought Bright was too naive.
"Can a marriage certificate be false?" Bright raised his eyebrows.
"I can't carry my marriage certificate with me every day and then show it to others to prove my identity." Rose laughed at his foolishness, "You must know that most people in the world want you to be worse off than they are, otherwise how could there be any rumors about me marrying an old and ugly man?"
"It was because they would not believe that I would be married to Bright. Sometimes people like to deceive themselves. You should know about that."
Bright understood, "Women's jealousy is scary."
Men were straightforward.
"Of course it's scary, otherwise Sophie and I wouldn't have had quarrels and we end up like enemies." Rose wished Sophie was still the sweet little girl who was always pestering her and called her sister, instead of the girl she grew up with an evil mind. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"It has nothing to do with you. She deserves it and no one is to blame," Bright let out a cold snort.
Bright had never hated a woman so much in his life. Sophie had always broken his bottom lines, which made him detest her very much.
She deserved to be in prison. After all, what she did would eventually come back to herself.
"How long will she be sentenced?" Rose asked him faintly.
"The sentence for intentional injury is not more than three years and for serious injury is more than three but less than ten years. How long do you want her to be sentenced?" Bright looked at Rose.
"Just act in accordance with the law." Rose knew that as long as Bright took out more evidence, Sophie would be charged with more crime and got more punishment. "Three years is enough for her to reflect on herself."
Sophie had kidnapped Rose last time, and she put Bright's life in danger. It was possible that Sophie would be sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Bright reached over her shoulder and took her in his arms. "You can feel relieved now."
Rose laid her head on his shoulder and smiled contentedly.
Back in Asgard Lake Community, Grandpa and Doris had rested.
Rose took a bath first and lay down in bed. And Bright went to bed too.
Rose took the initiative to lean over and habitually fell asleep in Bright's arms. The fresh smell of his body after the bath filled the air and refreshed his heart and soul.
Bright gazed at her closely, "You want it?"
Rose was embarrassed by his frankness, and her face blushed.
She wanted to turn over, but he fixed her waist with his wide hand, and did not let her escape.
He bowed his head and kissed her on the mouth, sniffing her fragrance.
After a long time, Bright lay down beside Rose, with one hand tightly hugging around her shoulder and kept her in his arms.
He closed his eyes to rest while she admired his face in the warm light of the lamp. His eyebrows were high and frowning. With his thin lips pressed together and his deep and sharp eyes closed tightly, he looked less fierce.
She raised her finger and ran it down his nose bridge, then past the thin lips and the chin, and slid it over the sexy Adam's apple.
This feeling was very wonderful. He was beside her, but she still had him in mind.
Rose leaned her head against his left shoulder. With her face against his chest and her eyes closed, she heard his heart beating.
Bright reached for her hand and pulled it down. "Go to sleep."
Rose smiled. She now was extremely happy and slept in his arms peacefully.
The next day, Rose went to work. As soon as she arrived at the company, she received a call from the police station, "Is that Miss Rose? Sophie has asked to see you."
"She wants to see me?" Rose felt surprised, but it was expected. "Yes."
Rose asked for leave and went to the detention center. When Rose arrived, she also saw Sky. They looked at each other with a smile and greeted each other.
"What are you doing here?" Sky asked Rose, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"She wants to see me. How about you?" Rose asked him.
"She asks me to come here." Sky didn't want to see her, but she mentioned Rose, so he had to come.
But he wouldn't tell Rose that he came here for because of her. He felt relieved to see Rose look rosy and radiant. She must be very happy now.
When they arrived, Sophie was led out and they sat across the bars.
Sophie seemed to have aged a lot when she was locked up during this period of time, and she looked gaunt, completely different from the girl who was charming and beautiful before.
Sophie smiled at Rose and Sky.
"Sophie, what's up?" Sky was the first to speak and didn't want to waste too much time.
"I don't want to go to jail," requested Sophie, but she said it with pride.
"Sophie, you hurt my mother and you deserve it. Even the law doesn't punish you, I will never let you go!" Sky refused.
"If you leave me alone, I will give you back all your possessions." Sophie took this as a condition. She wanted to be free, and if she was in jail, it was useless to have so much money. She wanted to be free and solve all her difficulties.
