Come on Daddy!

Chapter 13 Doris Misses Daddy

Rose saw the high-quality car windows rolling up to block the man's handsome face, and the car quickly drew into the lane and merged into the traffic.

Because she could only catch a quick glance and the sunlight that fell on the glass window was too dazzling, she couldn't see the man clearly.

Jane went out with Doris . While seeing the dazed Rose standing by the roadside, she patted her on the shoulder. “What's wrong with you? Is it someone you knew?”

“Seems like someone I knew, but I couldn’t see very clearly.” Rose wasn’t entirely sure.

After all, he died six years ago. He died in the fire, so how could he appear here?

But if it was him, would he return to City H? Would they meet again?

Rose’s gaze followed the shadow of the car far away, her eyes filled with tears and her heart feeling numb.

“You probably recognized the wrong person.” Jane thought of the possibility.

“Maybe.” Rose nodded, suppressing the tears of her eyes, but she had doubts in her heart.

“You must be too tired from work. You need to rest, let's go, let's go home.” Jane could feel tiredness floating in Rose’s eyes.

Rose hummed softly and held Doris’ small hands.

Rose didn't sleep well all-night last night, and was a little down. She wanted to go home to sleep.

“A woman who doesn't have a man just ends up becoming strong like a man herself.” Doris just created another saying.

“…” Rose was speechless.

Jane sent them home and let Rose go to rest while she drew together with Doris.

Rose slept comfortably for two hours before Jane went home. She was born in City Y, and she went home to eat with her parents every weekend. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“What did Aunt Jane draw?” Rose walked over, kneeling and sitting beside Doris.

“The teacher asked us to draw a happy family.” Doris looked up and happily showed her work to Rose. “Mommy, look it’s you and I and dad.”

The dark blue night sky was dotted with bright stars. A woman with long hair in a red dress and a girl in white princess dress and a crown stood on grass that was covered with flowers and looked at the sky while pointing at the biggest and brightest star in the upper right corner.

But where was this dad?

“This is my dad.” Doris also felt Rose’s doubts and pointed to the big bright star.

Rose, “...”

“Didn’t you say that after Dad left us, he became the stars in the sky to guard us? My dad must be the biggest and brightest one.” Doris’ young face showed a bit of pride.

“Doris...is missing her dad?” Rose met her daughter's bright eyes.

“Nope.” She smiled and shook her head. She was sensible and hid her longing for her father in her heart.

How could Rose not know her daughter's thoughts? Although she was sensible, she was only five years old. When she saw other children ride on their father’s shoulders, protected by their father,

especially participate in family activities with their parents, her bright eyes would dim.

Rose hugged her daughter in her arms, feeling a little bad.

If she hadn't involved Bright in a scheme to save Sky, how could she have brought her into this world to endure so much suffering.

She was sorry towards her daughter. She knew she couldn't repay what she owed Doris in her life.

When Doris saw her mother's ruddy eyes, she thought that mommy must have missed daddy too much.

“Mommy, I'm hungry. Can you make food for me?” She changed the subject and didn't want mother to be sad.

“Okay.” Rose kissed her daughter's soft cheek.

She made tomato scrambled egg, winter melon pork rib soup, and fruit salad. The life of Rose and Doris was simple and warm.

After being busy for more than half a month, it was finally the signing ceremony of HY Group’s theater project. Their person in charge would be arriving today.

Because the design director William was still in the hospital, Rose, who was the main designer, naturally had to be there the entire time, but she didn't expect that the person in charge was Bright instead of David.

When would he finally disappear!

Bright being there personally was enough to grace YM Group, such that CEO Dong laughed from ear to ear.

The CEOs of the two parties signed and announced their cooperation at the press conference, which immediately made headlines.

The evening was a reception banquet for Bright. Everyone, especially the female staff, tried hard to be selected.

Rose was instead afraid that she would be selected, but she was the first person named by CEO Dong to accompany him.

At six o'clock in the evening, two tables were prepared at Garden International Hotel.

Bright was the last to arrive, accompanied by a vice president and an assistant Bill.

When he arrived, everyone stood up respectfully.

He was calm and dignified, as if a king that had returned and everyone crawled under his feet. The warm light and shadow in the suite fell on his cool and handsome face, sharpening his features. His eyes were like two deep pools, indifferently and calmly sweeping across everyone...including Rose.

Bright’s sharp glance almost made her heart skip a beat.

“CEO Lee, please.” CEO Dong personally pulled out the chair beside him for Bright to sit.

Bright walked over, except he stopped at the seat next to Rose and placed his hand on the back of the chair. “I like sitting by the window. CEO Dong wouldn’t mind if I sit here, right?”

“Of course not. Please sit wherever you like, CEO Lee.” CEO Dong smiled.

The senior executive who sat with his back to the window also got up and gave up his seat.

Bill also stepped forward and replaced the chair. Only then did Bright sit down gracefully, and CEO Dong moved over to accompany him.

At the dinner table, with Bright being the point of focus, everyone went over to toast a glass of wine to show respect.

Of course, he didn’t give everyone the honour and personally drink every time someone went over. Most people were blocked by the vice president and Bill.

“Are you disappointed that you didn't see David here?” Bright saw Rose’s shock and disappointment when Rose first saw him today.

She didn't want to see him that much? She really knew how to hurt his self-esteem and self-confidence as a man.

“I don't dare.” Rose certainly didn't dare to show her surprise.

“David has more important work to do, so I will personally supervise this project in the future.” It was an explanation.

Rose had nothing to say. “Please advise, CEO Lee.”

Bright’s long fingers held the red wine glass that he had just drunk from and gently rubbed his eyes, with a smile at the corner of his eyes. “Miss Linder should show some sincerity.”

Rose, who had grown up from hardships and challenges in the working world over the years, had also learned to observe people. She picked up the red wine to pour half a glass for Bright, and then held up her wine glass. “CEO Lee, cheers.”

Bright lightly touched his glass with hers. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Rose finishing her glass first, then did he become satisfied and slowly drank his glass.

Just as Rose placed down the wine glass, a tissue was already handed to her.

“Thank you, CEO Lee.”

She looked up at Bright. Noticing his handsome face close to her, she realized that the older Doris grew up, the more she looked like Bright.

Now he was in City Y, what would happen if he saw Doris?

Should she keep hiding Doris, or give Doris the fatherly love she longed?
