Chapter 108 You Are Nothing
Chapter 108 You Are Nothing
Bright only took the bottle up and drank water, but did not reply, even averting his gaze to somewhere else.
He screwed the bottle cap slowly, and then put it on the table, "You are quite conscious and keep a low profile."
"I have self-knowledge." Rose lightly raised her eyebrow, "Without any fantasy."
She needed to keep a clear head, and otherwise, she would be confused about herself and the future direction.
Rose stretched out her hand to touch Doris' back of head, and smiled faintly.
Afterwards, they had a rest and went to see other animals, such as fat polar bear and smart sea lion. They also watched acrobatic performance of sea lions.
The sun was bending in the west and it was very late now, so they walked out of the park.
Matthew took Wyatt's hand and said good-bye to Rose and Bright, "Mr. Bright and Miss Linder, good- bye."
"Mr. Matthew, good-bye." Rose waved her hand to him.
But Wyatt was still unwilling to leave and held Doris' little hand, "Doris, see you in the kindergarten." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"OK." Doris frowned with a little disgust, "Don't show such a grieved appearance. We will meet again in the kindergarten."
"Fine." Wyatt raised his lips and began to smile, looking somewhat silly.
"Let's go." Matthew opened the car door and let Wyatt get into the car first.
He nodded at Bright and Rose, got into the car and drove away.
Rose and Doris looked at the receding car all the time. Bright cleared his throat in order to bring back their attention, "They have gone but you are still looking. Are you so reluctant to separate from them?"
"Handsome uncle, I will cry sadly if you leave." Doris walked forward and hugged his leg with smile, "I will hold your leg, not to let you go. Are you satisfied?"
"Only you can make me happy." Bright bent down and stretched out his finger to rub her nose.
Bright lifted Doris and said to Rose, "Get into the car. Where do you want to go for dinner?"
"Can we fuel up on cola, French fries and hamburgers?" Doris put her arms around Bright's neck, with two big eyes full of expectancy.
"No." Rose refused directly.
"…" The hope in Doris' eyes went out.
Bright felt Doris so pitiful, just like a dog abandoned by its owner.
He stretched out his hand to touch her head, and bent down in order to make his lips close to her ear, "Listen to me, and I promise you will get what you want."
"What are you talking about?" Rose was unsatisfied with Bright's smile, "Don't mislead the child."
She didn't allow Doris to eat the junk food. If Bright dared to make trouble, she would give him hell.
"Nothing." Bright put Doris into the car, "I asked you to get in. What are you doing?"
Rose got into the car and Doris was still seated between her and Bright, which made Rose increasingly find that they were a family.
The driver drove away and the car ran on the crowded road.
"Where are we going?" Rose looked at the streetscape flashing by the window. This was the direction to the downtown, "Doesn't Mr. Bright go back to the hotel or City J?"
"Rose, can't you have some conscience? I came to help you solve the problem, but you want to send me off after using me? Rose, don't you feel guilty?" Bright accused Rose of kicking down the ladder.
"I didn't mean that. Mr. Bright is in charge of HY Group and must be very busy. I can't waste your time." Rose said seriously, "Besides, it is also beneficial for you to deal with this thing."
Bright frowned, "But I still helped you. You owe me a favor, don't you?"
"…" Rose didn't know how many favors she owed him. Anyway, it was OK with one more.
"What do you want?" Since he wanted her to return the favor, he definitely had his own intention.
"Just follow me." Bright leaned backwards and lightly adjusted his collar.
Rose curled her lip unhappily. Why was he so mysterious?
The car stopped at a fast food flagship store in the downtown. Rose frowned as soon as she got out of the car, "I have told you not to mislead the child. Why do you take us here?"
"I want to eat." Bright held Doris between his arms.
"Mr. Bright, don't fool me. Do you think I will believe you?" Rose looked coldly at Doris, who stayed between Bright's arms, "Doris, come down to mommy."
"Well…" Doris didn't dare to retort and agreed obediently. Then she loosened her arms around Bright's neck, "Handsome uncle, put me down."
But Bright hugged Doris more tightly and said to Rose, "Why did you talk so fiercely to the child?"
"Did I? She doesn't listen to me, and as a mother, shouldn't I teach her a lesson?" Rose asked rhetorically.
"Just calm down." Bright didn't know how gentle he was at this time, looking like a loving father who protected his precious daughter, feeling pitiful for her.
"I have already said no, but you still take her here to eat junk food. We all know it is not good for children. Why do you insist? Bright, you will only spoil the child in this way." Rose was quite angry about his indifference, "We have agreed on not eating junk food like hamburgers. Now who is violating the agreement?"
"Mommy, it's my fault. I will not eat. Please don't be angry." Seeing mommy so emotional, Doris knew she shouldn't be willful.
"Look, she almost cries." Bright felt painful for Doris, whose eyes turned red with grievance.
"That's because she has violated the agreement. She has no reason to cry." Rose didn't think Doris deserved the compassion, "Will you appraise her even if she makes a mistake, Mr. Bright?"
Bright thought Rose was too unreasonable, and he asked, "Doris, how long has it been since you ate these foods last time?"
"I can't remember. It was very long ago." Doris remembered she ate those foods secretly with Jane last time, but was found out by Rose, who arrived earlier than she had expected.
Rose was very angry, so she threw away the cola and hamburgers and fiercely criticized Doris and Jane.
Of course Doris received a beating, because she did something wrong and tried to keep it secret from mommy.
"Listen, she said she couldn't remember because she hasn't eaten these foods for a long time. It's okay to eat them every few months. Why do you press the child so hard? She doesn't have much to take pleasure. If you continue like this, she will only feel unhappy. As a parent, don't you want your child to be happy?" Bright said clearly and logically.
Doris plucked Bright by his clothes, "Handsome uncle. Don't say that anymore. I will not eat. Let's leave here."
"Don't be afraid, I am here and believe me." Bright held her little hand, full of confidence.
Rose curled her lip coldly, "It's no use, Mr. Bright."
"You owe me a favor." Bright reminded her.
"So what? I am Doris' mother, but you are nothing! Mind your own business, please." Rose pressed her lips together, looking very determined.
