Chapter 73 What Are You Waiting For
Bright’s deep eyes were tinged with dark light, showing a hint of playfulness. He stared at her for a moment, and his serene eyes reflected her fair and delicate face.
Rose became a little feverish from his gaze, so she quietly looked away.
“You don’t want to take it and have a look?” Bright raised his eyebrows a little.
How could she be so calm and not curious at all about what he was holding?
“Mr. Lee, even though money has many benefits and I also like money, not everything can be settled with money. Especially something like posing as Mrs. Lee. What is fake will always be fake. It will never become real.” Rose looked at the thin envelope. “Mr. Lee is very rich, yet he is only giving me this much. Isn’t it a little too stingy of him?”
Was she this cheap? Or did he think she could be easily bribed?
“What is fake can also become real, but what is real can never become fake.” Bright's voice was deep but hinted at something. “As long as I want to, what is fake can become real and what is real can become fake.”
As Rose listened to his words and met his intense gaze, she felt as if there was an invisible magnetic force pulling her in that she couldn’t help but indulge in it, which made her flustered.
“Mr. Lee, what do you mean?” Rose even breathed quietly.
“Just take it literally.” Bright said indifferently as his gaze fell on the envelope. “You’ll know once you open it and take a look.”
Rose's sight also fell on the envelope. The stuff in the envelope wasn’t thick. Considering what he said, it was probably money.
She actually guessed wrong. For someone with status like Bright, he didn’t need to use cash at all. He could use a cheque or a card, both of which would make things easier.
She didn't dare to think too much about the things in the envelope. A woman's sixth sense told her that it wouldn’t be anything good!
She quickly retracted her gaze, then turned and took a couple of steps away to escape from this place.
But Bright stood up sharply and stepped forward in one stride to stop her.
“Where do you want to go?” He looked down at her and asked.
“Go home.” Rose didn't look up. Her downcast eyelashes were long and thick, and trembled out of fear.
“Before you go home, you should take a look at the surprise I prepared for you.” Bright grasped her hand and pulled her toward the round table again.
Rose was dragged by him to the round table and heard a commanding voice. “Open it.”
Rose struggled to withdraw her hand, but she couldn’t resist his strength. Not only did she not withdraw her hand, but her other hand was also held in his. He embraced her entire body and pushed his broad and warm chest against her cold back.
His body was very warm and comfortable, but she still felt cold.
She stubbornly resisted him as he brought her hands toward the envelope on the table. She did not dare to touch it.
“Rose, what are you afraid of?” Bright’s thin lips pressed against her auricle. Although his tone was soft, it made people unable to resist him.
“I’m not afraid of anything. I just don't want to know what's inside. I have no interest at all.” Rose spoke sonorously, partly to convince herself not to be curious. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Are you not interested at all?” Bright watched as Rose forced herself to regain composure and curled his thin lips. “Since you don't want to look, it might be better to show it to those who want to see.”
“Who are you going to give it to?” Rose asked him anxiously, revealing her fear.
“The news, the media or your parents, grandma...” Bright pointed out one by one, as if he planned on letting the whole world know.
“Mr. Lee, don’t make jokes like this.” Rose curled up her lips out of embarrassment.
Why did she provoke him? I almost killed myself, thought Rose.
She was not afraid or anything at all now, except for Bright.
“I deliberately went from City J to City H to find an exotic and beautiful place like this. Do I look like I’m joking?” Bright's patience gradually disappeared as a result of Rose's rejection. “You don’t want to dine with both of our parents, right? You wanted a legitimate reason, right? Now I am here, and the reason I give you is in this envelope. Why are you afraid at this time? Maybe you will be happy once you take a look?”
Rose would not be so easily coaxed. “Mr. Lee, I am joking, okay? There was no such thing as a legitimate reason – it was just an excuse to reject you. I’ve never wanted anything the proper way.”
Bright held her tighter so that she could deeply feel his strong sense of existence. “Since you are worried that you are a fake, then I’ll turn you into the real one. Don’t you think so?”
Become the real one?
Was he crazy?
Rose tilted her head slightly, her eyes widening in horror. She couldn't believe that he didn't care at all.
“Mr. Lee, what do you want?”
“I've said so much, do you still not understand?” Bright saw her freak out and continued to speak. “The questions that you are thinking of will be answered as soon as you open this envelope and you’ll understand everything. These are things you will face sooner or later. If you don’t face them now, you’ll face them soon.”
Bright referred to the time when their marriage contract would expire. When they divorce, they would have to meet and face each other.
Of course, Rose hadn't thought of this. Regardless of how much Bright hinted, she didn't dare to think about it.
"I really don't understand and don't want to understand. Mr. Lee, please let me go.” She felt her breathing was going to stop because of the way he held her.
“There's nothing wrong with me holding my wife. It won’t make a difference even if you called the police.” Bright started acting shamelessly, gently rubbing her skin over her long dress.
“Just a fake.” She reminded him.
“I said that as long as I want to, what is fake can become real.” Bright turned her body around to face himself. “Have more confidence in yourself.”
Something like this could not be changed with confidence.
He said it too lightly.
After seeing his parents while posing as Mrs. Lee, her heart could never calm down.
His father and stepmother were such good people, yet she deceived them. She had a guilty conscience.
“I—” She just uttered a word, yet he lowered his eyes quickly and pressed his thin lips against hers, covering her soft lips with a force that she couldn’t resist.
She did not expect him to kiss her and was not prepared for this moment. At the same time, her brain stopped working.
His kiss was strong and domineering, tangling her up with him as their tongues chased after each other.
She was in a weak position in front of him. She could only endure his madness and brutality until feelings of suffocation hit...
Bright let go of her at this moment, and both of them panted heavily. The man's fingertips stroked her reddish lips. “Not all women can enjoy this right. Only Mrs. Lee is qualified, so what are you waiting for?”
