Chapter 76 A Good Use of the Idiom
Although what Nora said was a question, a trace of panic still flashed across Rose’s eyes because of her question. The trace of anxiety in her heart worsened. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
It was the first time that Nora saw Bright and Doris together, yet she asked a question like this. Did she already notice something?
Didn't grandma and Nora both say that Doris looks like her when she was a child?
But why did Nora directly ask whether Bright is Doris’ father when Bright and Doris are together?
“Are you mute or what? I guessed it right? They are really father and daughter?” Nora nudged Rose with her elbow while her pupils gradually dilated and overflowed with surprise.
“How is it possible?” Rose retorted anxiously but did not look at Nora as she felt guilty.
“If he really is Doris’ dad, then Rose, you are a lucky girl...” Nora smiled cutely. “When the time comes, there will only be things you can’t imagine and nothing he can’t do.”
“I said no.” Rose denied the truth again.
Until now, she still couldn’t accept the reality that Bright was her mysterious husband in her secret marriage. She felt it was unreal as a dream.
The man she contracted with in that absurd marriage happened to be Doris’ biological father.
Did the three of them being together now count as a family reunion?
Rose laughed at herself and twitched the corners of her lips lightly, feeling that things were going to be bitter and difficult instead.
“Why do you say they are father and daughter? Didn't you say that Doris looks like me? They don't look alike.” Rose also felt Doris looked more like her.
If Doris inherited more of Bright’s genes, then she would definitely be a replica of Bright. As long as whoever saw them wasn’t blind, they would be able to tell at a glance that the two were very similar.
And Rose was thankful that Doris was like her instead of Bright, otherwise he would have guessed the result when he saw Doris.
“You can’t say they aren’t alike. It’s better to say that Doris and you are alike in appearance while Doris and CEO Lee are alike in character. I mean in terms of things we can’t see, like temperament, personality, and actions.” Nora felt this way when she saw Bright and Doris together.
Was that the case?
Rose observed Bright and Doris. The way they laughed and the way they spoke was indeed alike. Plus, being related by blood is something very wonderful. Even if you don’t know that the other person is your relative, you still feel an invisible attraction and you would be kind toward each other.
Therefore, Bright, who had always been cold and rarely smiled, didn’t mind anything else and would show the sincerest smile when he was in front of Doris.
“Nonsense.” Rose denied Nora's statement.
“I'm really not talking nonsense. See for yourself.” Nora raised her delicate eyebrow to prove that she wasn’t making a casual statement.
“Grandma is waiting anxiously at home. I won't talk nonsense with you. Let's go.” Rose pulled the little panda luggage and waved at Nora.
Nora could only wave at her. After the two separated, she immediately went back to the house and changed out of her ugly clothes.
Bright put Doris in the Maserati's back seat, and then put the luggage in Rose's hand into the trunk of the car.
He sat in the driver's seat, fastened on his seat belt, and started the car and drove away from Broad City.
“Handsome uncle, you came when I thought about you. Do you think there’s telepathy between us?” Doris wondered while playing with her panda doll.
“Yes.” Bright said softly. “So uncle flew over from City J to see you as soon as he finished work. Are you touched?”
“Handsome uncle, you are so kind to me. I think I have fallen in love with you, but our age is so different, your parents won’t let us be together... will definitely separate us.” Doris wasn’t touched but was very touched – so touched she already turned her back on her favourite Dougie Gallagher.
“...” Rose’s eyes widen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She really made a good use of the idiom!
She was Bright's biological daughter. How could she marry him?
“Doris, Uncle Lee is already married. You are so young, so you aren’t suitable.” Rose could only explain this way, wanting to get rid of Doris’ strange idea.
“True, handsome uncle is already married. We can only be together in the next life if we want.” Doris pouted slightly as disappointment filling up in her innocent eyes.
“There is no need to wait until the next life. We can be together in this life, but as relatives.” Bright looked up at Doris's pink face through the rear-view mirror.
“As relatives?”
Rose's heart tightened and looked up to meet Bright's gaze in the rear-view mirror.
She gritted her teeth slightly. Was he going to tell Doris the fact that they are husband and wife?
This way they would be relatives and they would be together as relatives.
But she didn’t want to Doris to know about it and didn’t want Doris to rely more and more on Bright. She was afraid that one day, the story of Doris’ birth would be revealed. Afterward, she would face cruel choices and was even more afraid that Doris would like Bright more and give up her mother.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened Rose felt and the more she trembled!
She frowned anxiously and gestured with her eyes, pleading Bright not to say it.
Bright retracted his gaze, looked forward, and asked Doris. “Doris, do you want me to be your relative? That way we won’t be separated for a lifetime. My parents won’t separate us either.”
“My mother and I are the only ones in the family. It would be great if handsome uncle can become my father.” Doris’ small face was a little nervous from the excitement she felt.
Sure enough, Doris still wanted a father and yearned to be surrounded by fatherly love. Bright’s appearance also made her feel paternal love to a certain extent and filled the longing in her heart.
It was destined that she would fall in love with Bright because he was her biological father.
“Doris...” Rose opened her mouth but didn't know how to say it to the child.
“Mom, I don't mean to want someone to replace Dad. Dad is in our hearts and we love him. I am very happy when I’m with handsome uncle. Plus, when I grow up and marry brother Dougie, he can help me take care of you. I can rest assured that there is someone to take care of you.” Doris explained, afraid that Rose would be sad. “Mom, dad already became a star, and he also hopes that someone can replace him and take care of us. I think handsome uncle is an angel who dad found.”
Rose's eyes were slightly moist. The child's father was right in front of her, but she couldn't speak the truth.
Was this too cruel for a child who longed for paternal love?
“Doris, actually Uncle Lee…”
