‘You are nothing!'
These words really hurt Bright. He was not Doris' father indeed, but just an outsider. Only Rose had the
guardianship to Doris as her mother.
An unprecedented darkness spread out on Bright's cold face. He held Doris and looked directly at
Rose with slightly narrowed and sharp eyes.
Rose's stubbornness was like a flower blooming on the top of a mountain, flickering in the wind and
snow, not afraid of being snapped.
"Rose, say it again." Bright exhaled lightly.
"Mr. Bright, put Doris down." Rose didn't reply to him directly, "Doris, come down."
"Handsome uncle, put me down." Doris was struggling.
Bright was afraid that she would fell down, so he put her down. Doris walked to Rose once she got
freed.
Doris took Rose by the hand and bit her lip, "Mommy, I know I have done wrong. Don't quarrel with
handsome uncle."
"We are not quarreling." The two answered simultaneously.
Bright and Rose looked at each other and then looked away. Glancing at them, Doris pressed her lips
together, lowered down her head and couldn't help smiling, but she didn't dare to behave evidently.
"Mr. Bright, I have no discrepancy if you want to eat these foods. You can eat as much as you want and
I will buy for you. But the agreement between the child and me cannot be invalidated arbitrarily. If I
allow her to eat junk food, this will be irresponsibility to her health and as a mother, and I will be a bad
mother." Rose restrained himself and slowed down her voice, "What do you want to eat? I will go to
order for you."
"Well, give me one portion for all the foods inside." Bright felt angry, childish like a kid.
"OK." Rose walked into the store with Doris.
She stood in front of the ordering counter, "One portion for each kind of foods in the store."
The attendant thought he had misheard, "Are you sure?"
How could the two of them eat so much?
"Yes." Rose confirmed, "Please be quick. Someone cannot wait already."
"OK. Please wait a moment." The attendant ordered all the foods and told Rose the amount.
Rose paid by QR code scanning. Looking at the amount, Rose felt a little distressed.
Ordinarily Rose was not a person who wasted money, and she was always economical. To her
surprise, Bright came up with such a request, which made her lose a lot of money in her wallet.
But the promise had been made and she couldn't go back on her word.
After quite a while, the foods were finally prepared, which were put on several trays.
Rose passed them to Bright one after another, which were put on the rectangular table, "Mr. Bright,
help yourself. See you."
"Stop." Bright shouted coldly, "Hasn't Miss Linder heard ‘It's easier to raise the devil than to lay him'?
Since you have called me over, then I need you to look at me eating and to leave after I finish."
Rose bit her lip and clenched her fists, telling herself to calm down and not to be irritated by him.
"Mr. Bright, could you please stop behaving like a child?" Rose said impolitely.
"Miss Linder, this is the consequence for you provoking me. You have to take responsibility for that."
Looking at so much food on the table, Bright took the French fries and began to eat, ignoring them,
after getting a glimpse.
He raised his lips while eating, smirking.
His appearance was really annoying.
Rose chuckled lightly.
Seeing Bright eating, Doris felt she was hungry and she stretched out her little hand to touch her
tummy.
Bright glanced at Doris and looked up at Rose, "If Miss Linder is hungry, I don't mind you siting down to
have some with me."
"I am not hungry." Rose said clearly, but the result was that her stomach rumbled loudly.
Rose suddenly felt embarrassed and her face turned red. She bit her lips and really wanted to
disappear.
Bright laughed at the same time, feeling very complacent.
"Mommy, your stomach is saying it is hungry." Doris added.
"I heard that too." Bright took up a spicy chicken wing and put it close to his nose to smell it, making an
attractive gesture, "So delicious. Does Miss Linder want one?"
Rose ate nothing this noon while staying at the Linder family, and then went to pick Doris up. She was
really hungry at this moment.
"These were bought for Mr. Bright. Please help yourself." Rose refused to resign herself.
"Then I will begin to eat." Bright took a bite with satisfaction, "You are adult and it's OK for you to keep
hungry for a while. But how can you let a child to suffer with you? She is just 5 years old, and it is high
time for her to grow up. Please don't be so stubborn."
"If Mr. Bright really feels pitiful for the child, you should allow me to take the child away, instead of
asking me to accompany you here to look at you eating." Rose retorted.
"There is so much food here. Can't you eat some? Will you die after eating this?" Bright said seriously,
"You will not die, will you? Besides, the agreement is made by people. Can't you be a little flexible?"
"Mr. Bright doesn't want to let us go, then please eat quickly." Rose said coldly, without any desire to
compromise.
Bright put down the chicken wing, and really wanted to know what she was thinking in her mind.
She continued to force herself against him at this time.
Bright took up the tissue to wipe the oil stain on his hand, then took out something from his suit pocket
and put it on the table.
A marriage certificate with red background and gold letters entered Rose's eyes, which surprising her.
She averted her gaze from the red marriage certificate to Bright's face, and a trace of surprise flashed
by in her eyes. What did he mean? Did he carry the marriage certificate just like ID card?
"Miss Linder, since you are so disobedient, I can only do this." Bright's fair fingertip fell down on the
marriage certificate, and his finger appeared to be elegant and perfect against the certificate, "Rose, I
am not only the person in charge of the cooperation project between you and the company, but also the
one who has intimate relationship with you. As your other half in law, I think I am qualified for the child's
education."
Looking at Bright's handsome face, which turned more and more serious, Rose swallowed.
Was he serious?
Legally speaking, he was her husband and thus the child's father. Even though he was stepfather, he
was qualified for the child's education.
"What do you want to do?" Rose stood in front of Doris to protect her, "I gave birth to her."
She meant that Bright was not her biological father, so she denied his qualification.
"The law doesn't care about blood relationship, and gives me duty and right." Bright smiled. What he
said really made sense.
Rose frowned, looking like a mother wolf which protected her wolf cub, with much alertness.
"Are you angry?" Bright's fingertip lightly hit the marriage certificate, "I am just bringing out the facts
and reasons."
"Rose, Mr. Bright, what a coincidence." At this time a cold and elegant figure walked forward, but was
attracted by the red marriage certificate on the table, "Whose marriage certificate?"
