Bright turned his face towards Rose's curious eyes. The sunlight cast on his face, making his face
especially handsome and his dark eyes became gentle in the sunlight.
"Are you curious about it?" Bright stopped at the key point.
"I am indeed a little curious. But I won't force you if you don't wanna say." She replied with one hand
holding her cheek.
They kept silent for a while. Rose fixed her eyesight on Marley's face, "Do you know the rumor about
you?"
"What's it?" He raised his handsome eyebrows.
"You were said to be cruel with brutal means. You refused to have anything to do with your relatives
and families. Anyone who was against you would have a miserable ending. Some rumors even said
you became CEO by kicking your sibling away. You were a man who couldn't be offended." Rose told
him the description about him. Meanwhile, she tilted her head and looked at him with smile in her bright
eyes.
Gentle light drifted in Bright's eyes, "I see. No wonder the first time you saw me in HY Group, I felt you
were afraid of me. That explained. Later when you knew you would marry me, were you even more
scared? You couldn't wait to sign for divorce after 3 years?"
"Initially I thought how could you be so cruel, but later I found it was only rumor and then I didn't take it
seriously." While saying so, Rose smiled as well. She laughed for her silliness. Why did she believe
what other's description about him?
"So you won't divorce me, right?" A faint smile appeared on his face.
"You made an appointment for 3 years. If you regret and wanna divorce, I will respect your decision."
She replied naturally and calmly.
"Are you so tame?" Bright gazed at her.
"Isn't it good?" Rose raised her soft lips in a good-looking curve.
"Since you're so tame, then let's forget the 3-year agreement and never mention divorce again." Bright
held her arms, letting her lean against on his shoulder, "Let's be together till our hair grow white and we
have grandchildren."
"If you don't leave me, I won't give up on you." She put her chin on his shoulder and raised her eyes to
his.
The indifference in Bright's eyes softened. Her delicate face was reflected in his pupils. His throat
rolled, "Okay."
Never leave each other…
Rose's eyes contained smiles.
"You didn't answer my question just now. Please tell me." Rose gazed at Bright as if she was a curious
baby.
Bright held her thumb and rubbed the smooth back of her hand, "Marley was nice to everyone. He
even never lost temper to the servants at home. But after Dad remarried, he didn't smile again. I don't
know whether he didn't like Dad's remarriage. Later he moved out and was reluctant to come back for
family reunion. Besides, he never called Auntie Hallie nor did he smile at her. He was always cold to
her."
"When Mum died, he was 4, so he had impression of Mum more or less. Compared with me, he had
more love for Mum. So I guess he couldn't accept another woman to be the hostess of this family."
"Perhaps Dad's remarriage struck Marley too much, he couldn't accept it. And, as he missed Mum, so
he wanted to commit suicide?" This was Rose's guess.
"I don't think so. He was not such kind of person. Something he couldn't accept took place so he chose
this way." Bright shook his head, denying her guess, "We can only get the answer after he revives. It
has been years, but there's no sign for his revival."
"It is said that one's willpower determines his life. If Marley really commit suicide, he lost his willpower
for live, so he doesn't wanna revive." Rose held his arm gently, "Now what we need to do is give him
belief for living. In this way he won't allow himself to keep asleep."
"We can ask the one he loved and cared most to come here and talk with him. By encouraging him,
cheering up him, we can let him know many people love him. There are cases in the world that
vegetables come to life, so we should be confident."
Bright's profound eyes looked toward her, "But not many cases. Marley's situation is not positive.
Sometimes I am wondering whether I should let him live unconsciously or leave the world in a decent
way…"
Rose didn't know what to say. This was really a dilemma.
As his sibling, Bright could absolutely save his life as long as possible so that he could visit his brother
anytime he wanted. However, was it a good arrangement for Marley?
"Follow your heart. Marley grew up with you and he could understand you."
Rose supported his idea.
He nodded, "Thanks. Luckily, I have you."
"You're welcome, Mr. Lee. It's what Mrs. Lee should do." she rubbed her face on his shoulder, "If I were
you, I am sure you would accompany me as well. Let's talk with Marley more."
Bright tightly seized her hand clinging to his arm. His gratitude was beyond words.
They kept talking with Marley for a while and read him his favorite book.
It was fine today. Breeze didn't make people feel hot. Bright talked to Marley as if they were back to the
childhood…
Time flew quickly. They arrived at the Lee's at 4. Francis wasn't back yet. Hallie was arranging flowers
in the vase while Zoe was learning and helping her.
"You're back."Seeing them come back, Hallie put down the flowers in her hands, "Are you tired? There
is dessert in the kitchen. Let me bring it to you."
"Not necessarily, auntie."Bright stopped her, "We're back for her luggage. Tonight we won't stay here."
"Are you going back to Ginkgo Villa, brother?" Hearing his decision, Zoe was anxious and hurriedly
rose up, "Can't you stay here for one more night?"
She just wanted to see him even though she could only see him far away. At least when they had
meals on the table, she could chat with him more or less. If she was lucky enough, she could see his
smile.
That was enough, but he was too mean to give her.
