Come on Daddy!

Chapter 148 Are You Complaining

In the morning, Bright got up early and went for a morning run. When Rose woke up, the person sleeping beside her was gone, leaving only his warmth and breath.

Rose reached out her hand and stroked Bright's pillow, smiling contentedly.

Last night after he kissed her, he didn't take next step and went to sleep with her.

He said he would respect her until she wanted to have sex with him, and he did.

Rose felt that after last night, their relationship seemed to warm up and they got closer, mentally.

She turned over and glanced at the French window. A shimmer of light filtered through the heavy curtains.

She lifted the sheet and walked to the French window to withdraw the curtain, letting a shower of light flood into the room, then she pushed open the window and stepped out.

Rose felt the fresh air and the gentle morning breeze.

Standing on the balcony, she made a few random simple movements to wake herself up, then leaned her hands against the fence, closed her eyes, and breathed deeply in the beauty of nature.

A few minutes later, she slowly opened her eyes and looked down. Bright happened to run back from the distance. He was wearing a white hooded sports suit today. The white made him look more handsome and fresher than usual. He seemed to look younger and more energetic after the running.

As he ran closer, she waved at him and called, "Good morning, Mr. Bright!"

"Ms. Lee, it's getting late." Bright saw her figure on the balcony from a distance.

"It's only eight o'clock." Rose just checked the time. She didn't get up too late.

But it was too late for Bright, who had to get up at six.

"Have more sleep, then?" Bright said. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"No." Rose saw him running across the balcony, "I'm going to wash up."

Bright raised his hand and motioned her to go ahead, without changing his standard running posture.

Rose went back into the room from the balcony and hurried to the bathroom to wash herself. Bright came up later and was sure to take a shower.

Rose worked very fast and it only took her 10 minutes to wash herself up, and then she applied the skincare products on her face.

Bright came up panting, dabbing his sweat with a white towel.

"Why does Mr. Bright have so much energy?" Rose stepped forward and poured him a glass of warm water.

Rose didn't think she had the discipline as he did.

Bright drank the water slowly and said softly, "I can't help it. I can't use my energy on the one who needs it, so I can only use it on the running. Otherwise, someone would be drained out of energy."

Rose flushed. Bright was always making fun of her.

So, he was angry that he didn't get what he wanted last night?

"Is Mr. Bright complaining?" Rose's eyes sparkled.

"Ms. Lee, I dare not." Bright put the towel down and stared at her. "There will be time to make up for it later."

The light went out of Rose's eyes.

Bright got up with a smirk and said, "I'm going to get dressed. Megan has already made breakfast. You can go down and have some if you're hungry."

Rose watched him walk toward the bathroom, wondering how she had been taken advantage of again.

When she was thinking about how to comfort him, what he said made her feel no guilt at all.

Rose turned to leave the bedroom and walked down the stairs. Seeing her coming into the dining room, Megan smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes." Rose felt that she slept better than the night before. She wondered if it was because Bright was holding her that she felt a sense of security. In his arms, smelling his familiar smell, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Bright had a lot of credit for that.

"That's good." Megan picked up the bowl. "Would you like some porridge or soy milk?"

Rose scanned the rich breakfast on the table and found that there were pancakes and deep-fried dough sticks. Of course, she chose soy milk, which was a perfect match with the fried dough sticks.

"Soy milk, please." Rose pulled back her chair and sat down. "Megan, did you make these yourself?"

"Yes." Megan put the soy milk in front of Rose, "When Mr. Bright was a child, he liked to drink soy milk and had deep-fried dough sticks, but he was not allowed to eat outside, so I learned to make them by myself and cooked them for him whenever he wanted to eat."

"He's really happy." Rose envied.

Megan offered the candy. "You will be happier when you marry to him. Let me know what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."

"Thank you, Megan. That's very nice of you." Rose happily ate the fried dough sticks.

She put a deep-fried dough stick into the soy milk, and when it got soft and swollen, she would put them into the mouth. With the aroma of soy milk, the deep-fried dough sticks were really delicious.

Rose hadn't felt so hungry as she was now for a long time.

When Bright came down, he happened to see Rose's eating look, which was as cute as a child.

"Mr. Bright, good morning." Megan saw Bright coming and greeted him.

Rose had just licked her finger when Bright showed up and she choke. "Oh..."

"Take it slowly. If you love the deep-fried dough sticks, ask Megan to cook it for you every day." Bright patted her back lightly with his hand.

"Megan is so good at cooking."

After the breakfast, Bright and Rose bid goodbye to Peter and Megan and left for the airport to City H.

The ticket was bought by Bill. The plane would take off at 11: 45. Two hours later, the plane landed at City H Airport.

Bright put on sunglasses before he got off the plane. After all, he was too handsome, and he didn't want to attract too much attention, so he always wore his sunglasses to cover up his appearance. But he didn't know that wearing sunglasses would help him attract more attention.

Fortunately, with Bright's status, he used the VIP channel, so as to avoid unnecessary disturbance.

Instead, they met Austin, Marcus, and Dougie of the Burning Boys and their agent.

"Hello, Mr. Bright." The three of them were very polite to greet Bright.

"Hello." Bright reached out and shook hands with all three of them.

The agent said to Bright, "Mr. Bright, we have reached an agreement with Mr. Hank about the endorsement. The press conference will be held next week."

"Good. I'll be there on time." Bright offered them more than a little temptation, and they would be fools not to take it.

"Good." The agent nodded. "Mr. Bright, please."

Rose was held tightly by Bright all the way, afraid that she would run away.

Doris, who had been waiting for them, came running up to them as soon as she saw Rose and Bright, "Mom, Dad."

"Baby, give me a hug." Bright looked at the lovely Doris and was ready to bend down to pick her up.

It was then that Doris saw Dougie standing behind Bright...

"Dougie." When Doris saw Dougie, her round eyes were very excited and her little face was red and lovely.

Dougie saw Doris, too, and gave her a gentle smile that was as bright as the sun.

Doris immediately changed direction and ran to Dougie, then excitedly hugged him around the waist. Bright saw that Doris went past him, and felt disappointed to watch Dougie "abducted" his baby daughter.

It seemed that his charm was far less than Dougie's and he always was not as good as Dougie in the heart of Doris.

Rose patted Bright on his shoulder, saying, "Don't be angry. I'm not as important to Doris as Dougie is. Would that make you feel better?"

Bright looked cold and frowned, "This guy is just younger than me. I was much more handsome than him when I was young."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Bright is the most handsome." Rose said so, trying not to smile.

Bright put his hands in the pockets of his suit and then looked at Doris and Dougie.

Doris only had Dougie in her eyes, like a little fool.

Nora, who had accompanied Doris to pick up Rose and Bright, walked over on her seven-inch stiletto heels and handed her flowers to Bright. "Doris bought it to welcome you."

"My daughter is very sweet." Bright looked at the bouquet. Doris still had him in her heart.

Doris rushed up to Bright and took the bouquet from Nora. "Daddy, I can't give it to you right now. I want to give it to Dougie."

Doris's eyes sparkled like beautiful stars.

Bright felt her heart was broken. The hugs were gone. Now he had lost his flowers.

But Doris was so fond of Dougie that he couldn't refuse the little girl's pleading eyes.

"Go on, daddy doesn't like the stuff." Bright seemed to be being generous, but he was jealous that Dougie stole his baby girl's heart.

"Thank you, Dad. That's very kind of you." Doris smiled happily. "I'll make it up for you next time."

"No, no. I just want you to be happy." Bright was gentle to and doting on her.

When Doris turned around, Bright's smile faded. Nora joked, "Mr. Bright, are you jealous like a child?"

"How would I?" Bright sort out his suit and said with pride.

"That might be possible." Nora lowered her voice slightly, "I heard that the daughter is the father's lover in the previous life, but your lover only has Dougie in her eyes, and leaves you alone here."

Rose reached out and gave Nora a light tug on her dress, motioning her to stop.

Bright's face was cold. "Whoever wants to marry my daughter will have to get my approval. She is now so young, and the one who gets her love right now might lose it when she grows up. And I have been able to accompany her growing up. That's enough. You have never been a parent, so I am not surprised that you don't understand it."

Bright got Nora's hurting spot. It was not that she did not want to have a child, but the one she wanted to have a baby with had already passed away, so she gave up the idea of having a child.

"Can't you two talk nicely?" Rose saw Nora's face turn a little pale. "Everyone's life is different," she said.

As they talked, Doris walked over to Dougie and handed him the flower. "Dougie, welcome to City H. This is my hometown. I go to kindergarten here, and you can come to visit me when you are free."

"I'll try." After all, they came here to participate in an activity. After the activity was over, they would go to the next station, so he might not have enough time.

"I know you're busy, I'm just saying. I'll be relieved as long as you take care of yourself." Doris sent the flowers to him again, reminding him to take it. "Of course I will take care of myself."

"You have to study hard." Dougie looked at the flower and took it with both hands.

He took the flowers and walked over to Bright. "Mr. Bright, I'll give you this for Doris," he said respectfully.

Bright didn't expect Dougie to do so, and he had different ideas for Dougie, who was not only good- looking, but also sensitive.

Bright took the flower and put it in Rose's arms. "Flowers match a beautiful woman. It suits you better."

Rose did not push it away, holding the flower in her arms and sniffing at it. "The flowers are so sweet," she said. "My daughter has a good taste."

Rose took Doris's hand. "Let's go home."

Bright naturally held Rose's shoulder. Nora's eyes were slightly moist as she looked at the warm picture of the three of them.

"What's the matter?" Rose noticed it carefully.

"I feel happy for you." Nora was really happy to see Rose come out of her misery. At least one of them was happy.

"I wish I can be happy for you one day." Rose meant that she hoped Rose to find her own happiness.

"I hope so." Nora did not know whether she would meet another person she really liked. It had been five years, but no one could walk into her heart and replace the one she once loved.

"Where there is hope, there is future." Rose felt that Nora had trapped herself. "Take a long-term look. I can do it, and so can you."

They were besties, and they had a hard time in a relationship. But if she could get over the past and find her loved one, Nora could also do it.

"Let's go." Nora nodded.

"Goodbye, Dougie," Doris said to Dougie.

"Goodbye Doris." He waved back to Doris.

Out of the departure lounge, Nora's driver had pulled over to the side of the road and Bright helped put the suitcase in the trunk of the car.

Nora and Doris got into the car first, while Rose was waiting for him.

But he didn't move. Rose asked, "What's the matter?"

"I won't go with you." Bright put his hand on her shoulder. "After all, this is City H. I have to work with you from now on. We have to act real so that their enemies would let down the guard. And then it will be stronger when we fight back."

Rose nodded. They had to keep distance if they wanted to make clear whether Timothy or Sophie was behind the frame.

"From now on our relationship is broken." Bright put away the smile on his face as his eyes grew cold and suspicious.
