Come on Daddy!

Chapter 496 They Can Never Be Together

Doris didn't say yes, but made it clear with her actions.

She got up and walked to the dining room, followed by Francis, who didn't want to bother Bright and Rose.

Seeing Doris' actions, Bright and Rose knew that she had calmed down and the crisis was solved.

"Look, as long as you can suit your methods to the situation, Doris is a nice girl." Bright was a little smug, "Fortunately, I have specifically asked Dougie to send me these gifts in advance."

"Mr. Bright is the smartest." Rose took his arm.

"Then you'll have to reward me when we get home." Bright looked at her, his eyes full of love. He looked down and kissed her on the lips, feeling attached.

Rose's ears turned red and she raised her hand to slap his shoulder twice in embarrassment. "This is Dad's house. How ashamed I will be if I'm seen!"

"There's no one here." Bright had checked around.

"You have to behave yourself in Dad's place." Rose warned the restless Bright.

"So you mean I can do whatever I want when I get home." It was an affirmation, not a question. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

How could Bright be so shameless! "Go and eat, or Doris will complain again."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a tacit agreement."

"..." Words failed Rose. What did she acquiesce in?

In the dining room, there were just Francis, Bright, Rose, Doris and Zoe today. Zoe kept quiet.

The final examination would take place soon. Stefan had been staying at school to prepare for it all this time.

And Hallie's absence was a surprise.

"Hallie has gone to a colleague's party." Francis said after Rose asked.

"What did Hallie do before?" Rose was curious and asked one more question.

"She was a dance teacher." Francis took a sip of soup and then said, "She has been taking care of our family since she married me. It has been almost ten years. She has taken good care of the family."

"No wonder Hallie has such a good figure and temperament." Rose had an envious look.

Bright almost forgot that Hallie was a dance teacher before she married Francis.

After the meal, they took Doris back to Ginkgo Villa.

To coax Doris, the couple accompanied Doris to open the gift Dougie had sent to their house.

Doris hugged the human-shaped pillow in her arms, happy and satisfied, "I can hold Dougie in my arms all the time. Then I'm not afraid that you will abandon me anymore. He will be with me."

Her haughty eyes were really funny.

This night, Doris went to sleep against Dougie's pillow, which was more useful than a bedtime story. She quickly fell asleep. Then, it was time for Bright and Rose being together.

When Bright came out of the shower, Rose was applying her skin care products.

He wiped his wet hair while picking up his phone and checking the time, "I'm going to the study."

"It is so late. Do you have to work now?" Rose applied the excess skin care product on her hands.

"There's something I want to get confirmed right away." There was a thing in Bright's mind, "You reminded me of that today."

Rose frowned and dwelled on it. A look of surprise flashed across her face. But she didn't dare to think about it more deeply, and just said, "Are you suspecting Hallie?"

"I hope it's not her, too." Bright had dark eye circles, "But when I think about it now, Hallie, the teacher, had more contact with Marley."

"Hallie is about nine or ten years older than Marley. And Hallie is dad's wife. They ... I don't think it's possible." Rose swallowed lightly, not daring to imagine this complicated situation.

"I don't want to suspect her either. But Marley once had a big fight with Hallie. It was also the only time." Bright recalled the past, "Marley had always been gentle and never argued with people. That day, he drank and lost control. I didn't take it seriously back then. But now, I think it was too much of a coincidence."

"Marley hasn't woken up and no one knows the truth." Rose sighed.

"After so many years, it's unlikely that Marley will wake up." Bright's eyes were gloomy. He could accept it rationally, but never stopped finding the truth.

Now, he seemed to have found some traces. If his suspicions were proved, he would not let go of the people who hurt Marley.

"If ... if Hallie is the teacher Serena mentioned, what are you ... going to do?" Rose got up, walked to Bright, and sat down. Her silk nightgown was soft.

Even if they found the truth, it was the most difficult that how to deal with it.

Bright put the towel down, "Let's wait until we have the results. You sleep first, and I'll go to the study."

Bright lightly clasped the back of Rose's head, pressed her lips, and kissed her fiercely. It was a hot and sweet kiss.

Rose naturally put her arms around his neck, her soft body pressing closer to his chest.

Her move made it impossible for Bright to refuse, even addicted.

In the yellow light, Bright looked at Rose, who had fallen asleep in his arms. There were marks on her white skin, which were like red plums in the snow, charming and beautiful.

Bright twisted his head sideways and kissed Rose on the forehead. Then, he lifted the quilt and got up to put on the robe, checking whether Rose was tucked tight.

Then he went to the study and turned on the vintage glazed desk lamp on the desk. The warm yellow light gently diffused.

Bright sat down on the white leather swivel chair and turned on the computer, searching through the web pages.

Finally, he opened his email, wrote a letter, and sent it to Bill's email.

After all this, he picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was 3:10 a.m., when everything was silent. But he was not sleepy at all. His heart seemed to rise and fall like the waves.

He didn't know how long he sat in the study. He heard the faint sound of the study door being opened.

He withdrew his hands propped up on the corner of his forehead and looked up at Rose, who was walking towards him.

"Why are you awake?" Bright frowned when he saw that she was only dressed in a light-colored silk nightgown.

"I can't sleep well without you." Rose saw no one around her when she woke up. So, she knew he was in the study.

She had taken the initiative today to exhaust Bright, so that he could rest peacefully and not work in the study. However, he was too strong and she had fallen asleep instead.

"Come on, I'll keep you company." Bright got up and took her in his arms, not wanting her to get cold.

They reentered the room and lay on the bed. Rose was lying in Bright's arms. She looked up at his straight, high nose.

"Are you still thinking about things?" Rose could tell that he was preoccupied.

"No. Let's sleep." Bright tightened his arms around her again, and then closed his eyes.

Rose also caught up on her sleep in his arms.
