Rose lightly bit her lips and frowned in thought. Since he wasn't angry about her past, or Sophie's
provocation, was he angry that she didn't trust him as much as he did?
She glanced at Bright and asked, "I don't distrust you. But I'm not confident."
"What do you mean?" Bright frowned.
Rose hesitated whether to say. She was afraid she would anger him again by saying it.
"Aren't you going to say something? Why don't you continue?" Bright asked again.
"You can't get mad again if I say it." Rose whispered.
"So, you know that what you say will anger me? Then why can't you say something that won't anger
me and will make me happy?" Bright's cold gaze fell on Rose's face and met her eyes, "Is it so hard for
you to say something nice, Rose? Or I don't deserve it?"
Or maybe Rose just loved Sky all the time. So, as Sophie said, even though it was Sky who hurt Rose
most, Rose didn't even get back at him.
Bright could not ask such a question. He had his pride and was afraid that he would get an answer that
would break his heartstrings.
He clenched his fists with mixed feelings.
What he really cared about was if Rose really loved him.
"No, I just don't want to lie to you." Rose tried not to deceive him now. After all, she had deceived him
about too many things.
"Now, you say you don't want to lie to me. Then what have you done before?" Bright was depressed.
In fact, he had tried hard to convince himself to trust Rose, so that they could keep their marriage.
But he found that he could not do it. After all, it was related to their relationship. He did not want to
ignore it. If he just wanted to ignore it, he would not develop their marriage seriously.
He didn't mind her past. As she said, she couldn't change the past. But who was she thinking about
now?
"After the incident Sophie said happened five years ago, I was given up by my dear parents and
betrayed by Sky. Sky proposed to Sophie without even listening to me. I was expelled from the Linder
family and disappeared to City Y. It was my wound. I couldn’t let it go all these years and wanted
revenge."
"These years, I never dare to open my heart to accept anyone. After being with you, I always feel like
I'm dreaming. How will such an excellent man like you be so kind to me? You spoil me and protect me.
Then, I gradually rely more on you...."
"But I'm afraid I will recommit the same error and lose everything... So, I do not dare to try my best and
completely fall in love with you..."
"That's enough!" Bright did not have the courage to continue listening.
His expression subconsciously changed. He secretly took a deep breath and suppressed his anger,
afraid that he would act irrationally after getting angry.
Rose was frightened by his words.
She knew that Bright was really angry, no, he was furious.
"Bright, listen to me. After listening to what I say, it is up to you whether to get angry or not." Rose was
anxious and tried to go on.
"I don't want to hear it right now. I think we both need to calm down." Bright got up, "I'm going to sleep
in the guest room today."
Since she wanted to lie to him, then just kept lying, or maybe he wanted to deceive himself and didn't
want to be sober to face reality.
Bright had stridden away from their bedroom.
"Bright!" Rose looked at his back.
But the only answer to her was just the sound of opening and closing the door. She was left alone in
the spacious bedroom.
Rose was a little upset, covering her face with her hands....
This night, they all did not sleep peacefully.
In the morning, Bright remained silent when he came back from his morning run and went to the
bedroom to shower and changed clothes. Rose felt as if she was air in his eyes.
Overnight, they seemed to be separated from each other.
She didn't disturb him. So, she went to get Kathy up and took her downstairs for breakfast.
Bright arrived later. Kathy called out to him cheerfully, "Good morning, Daddy."
"Good morning, baby." Bright reached out and gently rubbed Kathy's hair.
Bright did not show any dislike for Kathy, but still spoiled her as before.
After breakfast, Bright and Rose took Kathy to school together. Then, Bright took Rose to her company.
On the way to the company, Rose wanted to say something to him. Just as she was about to speak,
Bright received a phone call, "This matter is not urgent. You do not have to come over. You are not in
good health. So, do not bother. We'll be back later. It's not too late to meet at that time. That's it."
Rose did not know who he was calling, and dared not ask, "Thank you for still being so good to Kathy."
"Kathy is innocent. I am not so mean." Bright put away the phone, and looked out the car window.
"That's not what I mean." Rose certainly knew that he was not such a man.
Love and hate in the adult world had nothing to do with children. No matter how terribly cool he was to
Rose, Bright was still good to Kathy.
"Last night..." Rose wanted to continue yesterday's conversation, but was interrupted by Bright, "Why
didn't you tell me that Kathy's real father wasn't Sky? Why did you keep it from me?"
Bright had asked Rose if Kathy's father was Sky back then. Rose had acquiesced.
Now, Sophie said Kathy's father was someone else.
"I ..." Rose didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Ignore it." Bright raised his elbow, clenched his hand, and lifted it to his lips.
What was the point of asking the question now? Yes or no, it was none of his business anymore.
Or maybe she subconsciously wanted Kathy's father to be Sky.
They fell silent again. Rose felt frustrated. She wanted to talk to Bright, but unable to express herself
properly.
Rose was about to get off the car when they arrived at the branch of YM Group in City H.
"Enjoy your lunch at noon." Rose waved at him after saying this.
"You too." Bright then instructed the driver to drive away.
He felt he had been fooling himself. He thought he could make Rose fall in love with him by being nice
enough to her. But he forgot that it was not directly related to love.
She did not give him unconditional love... Wasn't it because she still could not get over Sky?
When had he, Bright, been so awkward!
