Come on Daddy!

Chapter 56 What Does my Woman have to do with You

In the morning, the sun climbed up slowly, its rays spread in a mystifying and beautiful manner.

Rose couldn't sleep and got up extra early to make breakfast.

Bright always woke up early by habit; he wore a white shirt and was in good spirits. It felt like ages since he last had such a restful night’s sleep.

"Morning." He smiled and greeted Rose.

Rose had dark circles under her eyes, and she was in no mood to pay attention to him.

She put breakfast on the dining table, then went to Doris's room to wake her up.

As Rose led Doris to the dining room, Bright already sat down at the table, studying breakfast.

"Morning, Uncle Handsome." Doris climbed onto a chair by herself.

"Morning, sweety." Bright smiled lightly, then pointed to a round cake on the plate. "What is this?"

"That's my mom’s pumpkin pie; it's delicious." Doris picked one up and took a bite, with a very satisfied expression.

"Then I have to taste it." Bright picked up a fork and was about to pick up a piece.

Rose reached out and took away the plate before him; she sat next to Doris and said, "Mr. Lee, we only have some odds and ends for breakfast; I'm afraid it’s not to your liking, so I didn't make you breakfast. This is my breakfast."

Bright looked at the emptiness in front of him, then squinted his eyebrows at Rose.

"Doris, hurry up and eat breakfast, otherwise we’ll be late." Rose urged, hoping Doris would also ignore Bright.

But Doris pushed her plate towards Bright. Due to her short hands, the plate only reached halfway between the two of them, "Uncle Handsome, I’ll share my breakfast with you."

"You are a growing child, eat up." Rose said.

"But Uncle would go hungry without breakfast. Wouldn’t it be better if we both shared a little with him?" Doris suggested.

"..." Rose started to eat, "He’s an adult; he’ll figure something out. Besides, he only eats expensive seafood abalone porridge... He’s not used to our breakfast."

Bright scooped up a piece of pumpkin pie on the plate, "Let me just take one."

"Really?" Doris asked.

"Of course. Uncle's assistant will prepare breakfast." Bright didn't want to compete with Doris for food.

After breakfast, Rose took her bag and walked out, and Bright followed.

Rose held Doris's hand, and Doris held Bright's hand. They looked like a family of three.

When they passed by some neighboring aunts, the aunts looked on in shock at Bright.

"Rose, is this your husband? He looks so handsome, much more handsome than my son." An aunt praised.

"Hello, ladies." Bright called out.

The old woman smiled from ear to ear, "If my son was as handsome as you, he’d already be married by now."

Rose’s lips jerked; is this mother really related to her son?

"Rose, you’re quite blessed."

"Right, right; it would be nice if my daughter could also find such a good husband."

"Boy, do you have any brothers in your family? Introduce one to my daughter."

"I do; he’s a freshman in college this year. How old is your daughter?"

"My daughter’s twenty-four..." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"My brother is only eighteen..."

“Any cousins or nephews around the same age?”

"I’ll have to go back and ask."

"You must let us know if you have any news."

...

It was like the scene of matchmaking service.

"Aunties, we have to go to work and school, chat next time." Rose pulled Bright's sleeve and motioned him to leave.

"Goodbye, aunties." Doris said with good manners.

After they pulled away from the group, Rose distanced herself from Bright: "Goodbye, Mr. Lee."

"Let me send you and Doris to the school." Bright said as he looked at a car that approached them.

"No need." Rose held Doris’s hand and headed for the subway station.

At this time, a white BMW stopped in front of Rose; the window lowered to reveal William's face, "Rose, get in the car."

Bright was very unhappy at the sight of William. How did this person appear everywhere?

When Rose saw that Bright was about to walk over, she hesitated for a second, and then got into William's car with Doris.

William immediately accelerated to leave; Bright was one step late and didn’t stop them in time.

After they dropped Doris off at the kindergarten, only William and Rose remained in the car.

"Thank you today." Rose leaned against the back of the car seat, exhausted.

"Rose, do you like Bright?" William raised his eyes to look in the rearview mirror, and saw the sadness on Rose's brows, the worry on her face, and the expression of uncertainty on her face.

Clearly, she appeared to be troubled by her feelings, but hadn't she noticed it yet?

"I don't like him." Rose denied.

"Rose, you guys came out together early in the morning..." William concealed the stinging sensation and sadness in his eyes, "He spent the night with you, right?"

"William, it’s not like what you think." Rose explained anxiously, but then suddenly realized something, "Did you stay here all night?"

That's how he appeared so soon this morning; how could he be so stupid.

"William, you really don't need to do this. I don't want to owe you even more." There was no way she could pay it back.

"I just want to protect you." William said, "Did he bully you?"

Rose shook her head, "You’ve also seen that he likes Doris, and Doris likes him. They’re now close friends."

"Doris is so cute, of course he likes her. I also like Doris." William envied how Bright came into the picture much later than himself, but now Doris was so deeply attached to him.

"Doris likes you too." Rose added.

William added a comment in his mind, But not more than Bright.

The rest of the ride remained silent all the way to YM Group; Rose got out the car early in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding.

William parked the car in the company's underground parking lot and took the elevator up.

The first thing William did when he arrived at the office was to call Bright, who sounded cheerful when he picked it up, "William, I was just about to call you, but you called first."

"Mr. Lee, let me remind you again not to bother Rose. You’ve caused her a lot of trouble. If you really cared for her, stay away from her and leave her in peace." William was clear and indignant.

"Is that what she said?" Bright raised his eyebrows.

"She said she doesn't like you." William was out to extinguish Bright's arrogant attitude, "Mr. Lee, you’re a sensible person, not a stalker."

"William, as long as I'm here, there’s no way she will like you." Bright snapped back, "And why do you care what I did to my woman?"
