Come on Daddy!

Chapter 209 Is a Lifetime Enough?

After the parents-child party, Rose and Bright devoted themselves to their own jobs again.

The bid date of Beach Hotel invested by the Linder family and the Tanner family was approaching.

However, Rose not only needed to implement her own job, but also needed to pay attention to Sophie who colluded with Timothy to murder her. Of course, she would not let them off.

Sky was the one who Sophie cared most. The best way to take revenge on her was to let Sky see her shabby side and make her painful as Rose used to be.

No matter how busy she was, she would keep driving her daughter to and from school by herself, and without special circumstances, Bright would go with her.

As for household duties, they had employed an hourly employee to help them cook and do cleaning, which also reduced their burdens.

After dinner, they went for a walk with Doris.

Not until they put the kid to sleep, did they take a bath and lie on the bed comfortably.

Lit up by a lamp dimly glowing yellow, Bright held Rose in his arms and asked, "A penny for your thoughts."

"Nothing." Rose shook her head, not tending to let him know her plan.

"About Timothy and Sophie?" Bright had known her very well.

Rose froze when hearing that. She was so transparent in front of him.

"Hey! How could you know everything?" Rose was dissatisfied and turned her face towards Bright, "Can you leave me some places for privacy?"

"Your body has already been mine. What privacy do you need?" Bright snickered, with his eyes shining like a star in the dark.

"Damn!" Rose was ready to turn her back, "I am so tired. Good night."

However, Bright stopped her from turning and said, "As you said before, Sophie and Timothy would meet again. And if we tail after her during this time, we must gather evidence of her infidelity. Right?"

"It seems to be the best way by now." Rose had to admit.

"Let me do it! You just focus on your work." Bright held her tighter.

"You?" Rose's eyebrows twitched.

"What? Do not trust me? Or afraid that I have other purposes?" Bright looked at her face seriously.

"No. Aren't you busy either?" said Rose.

"No matter how busy I am, your business is just my business." Bright changed to lie on the bed and said, "I have had someone follow Sophie these days. Once she has any further action, I will be able to show you the evidence. As for how you are going to deal with it, it depends on you."

"I know you care about me, but this is my own feud with Sophie. I want to solve it by myself without your help." Rose understood he did this out of the goodness of his heart, but she did not want to accept it.

"I don't want myself to be over-dependent on you because your protection will prevent me from being stronger. I used to be naïve so that Sophie was able to hurt me. During these five years, I have experienced so much that I have got growing up and stronger than ever…"

"I am afraid that with your protection I will be soft again and I will look down upon myself like that. The real strength comes from personal growth. Hope you'll understand me."

Her eyebrows gradually knitted in a frown. She was afraid that one day she would fall down without his help. Once meeting such misfortune again, she could never stand up again.

Therefore, she did not want herself to be fully dependent on Bright and only in such way could she truly protect herself.

"Alright." Bright could understand her.

He turned to stare at her eyes, caressing her hair with a sense of pain and mercy.

"I have not done enough so that you can't feel 100% safe and put down the pains in mind." He smiled, "It will make me feel incapable." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Bright could handle anything except the sense of security she needed. It really frustrated him that he was not allowed to enter her world.

"Come on." Rose held his hand and became anxious, "You are excellent enough. Don't blame yourself. It's I that do not want to depend on others so much."

"I am different from others and I have been proving you such a truth." Bright sighed with resignation.

"I know you are different and I have never thought that you didn't do well, but I need more time." Rose admitted that she was still weak and scrupulous.

"No hurry. We have enough time. Is a lifetime enough?" Bright patted her frowned brows with his fingertip, trying to get her rid of trouble. He continued to say, "If not, we also have next lifetime and still the next."

"Great!" Rose took the initiative to hold his waist and nodded feelingly and thankfully.

Bright smiled and kissed her on her forehead, "Good night, honey."

Rose closed her eyes in his arms and Bright turned off the lamp. Eventually, the bedroom plunged into darkness.

Bright handed over all about the private detective to Rose the next day she went to work and let her arrange and make decision by herself.

"If you need my help. Just feel free to tell me." Bright also reminded, "Safety is the priority. If you face any danger, don't do it yourself, or I won't forgive you."

"Okay. Got it." Rose behaved gently.

Until 2am, Rose got the text from the detective that ‘Hi Mrs. Lee, Sophie has already gone out.'

‘Follow her and don't lose her or be discovered, or it will be tougher in the future. This is just my personal concern and I truly trust your capability.' Rose replied immediately.

She had been waiting for such a long time, hoping that Sophie's further action could give her more powerful evidences.

‘I will do it well.'

‘Thanks for your hard work.'

A black limousine slowly drove out from the Tanner family's villa and the detective followed it in his car. The limousine stopped until it reached the famous maternity hospital.

Sophie got off from the limousine, wearing a pair of sunglasses, a hat and a pair of flat shoes. It would be awfully hard to recognize her if one was not familiar with her.
