Bright looked at William who was blocking his arm and standing between him and Rose. He didn’t like it
that William considered himself a protector of Rose.
He frowned and glared in disapproval, “Mr. Quinn, what right do you have to ask me to leave? If I didn’t
hear wrongly, Rose rejected your proposal so now you are out of the game.”
“You…” William was stumped, “yes, Rose hasn’t accepted me but I will convince her to agree based on
my actions.”
“Mr. Quinn, your constant harassment is meaningless. Aren’t you forcing her?” Bright said sarcastically,
“and who she misses is me.”
“Who missed you?” Rose said angrily, the problems arrived one after another. She felt so tired of it.
“I know that you’re embarrassed.” he looked at Rose and smiled.
Bright pushed William’s outstretched hand down, “You must be tired, rest for a while.”
William was agitated and thought that Bright wanted to lay his hands on Rose. He stepped forward and
blocked him, “Mr. Lee, it’s late now, I’ll walk you out.”
“I’ve no intention of leaving since I’m here.” Bright squinted and projected his displeasure.
These words were too provocative to William. To him, Bright was a scoundrel.
“Rose, don’t worry, I’m here, I’ll protect you. I will not let him harm a single hair on you.” He was
determined to protect Rose.
Rose was moved but it was not because of love. She knew that she can’t make use of William’s good
intentions.
“Move aside!” Bright warned and threatened him.
“No!” William was not intimidated by Bright. Perhaps this was the power of love. It can surpass a
person’s perceived strength.
William didn’t display any weakness and did not move. The two of them just stared each other down.
Rose looked at the two of them ready to fight and became very worried.
Bright wasn’t a bad person but neither was he good. Things can get bad quickly if he is offended.
She won’t be surprised if he punched William in the face. No one dared to block him.
“Mr. Quinn, you should leave. I will resolve this.” Rose didn’t want William to be hurt.
“I will leave when Mr. Lee leaves.” William continued to stare into Bright’s eyes.
“Mr. Quinn, don’t push your luck,” Bright said coldly with a threat.
William laughed coldly, he will push his luck today.
Bright knew the meaning of his laughter and was poised to strike, they look ready to …
“Oh… handsome uncle?” A cute and tender voice that sounded tired and sleepy.
Rose stepped aside and a small and tender body ran over and hugged Bright’s long legs.
Doris tucked aside her hair to reveal her face and looked at Bright’s face.
“Hehe, I’m not dreaming. Handsome uncle is real.” Doris laughed sweetly when she ascertained that
she wasn’t dreaming.
In that instance, Bright’s serious expression changed immediately to one of gentleness.
That version of Bright will only appear in front of Doris. To everyone else, he was the chilly high and
mighty important director.
“Of course, it’s me. Are you surprised and happy?” Bright squatted down and hugged Doris.
“I’m so happy! I just dreamed of handsome uncle.” Doris wrapped her hands around his neck.
“See, your dream came true.” Bright used his finger to tap on her nose.
“Why are you here?” Doris was now elated and she was no longer sleepy.
“I know that you miss me and that’s why I came.” As Bright said this, he didn’t forget to glance at Rose.
Rose’s heart skipped a beat when he looked at her.
“I am thirsty.” Bright hinted at Doris.
Doris understood immediately and released Bright, stretch out her little hand and grabbed his large
hand, “Then come in for a drink, I’ll personally serve you.”
“Doris, you cannot let him in.” William broke his ploy.
He looked at Bright in contempt for making use of a kid.
“Why? Handsome uncle is my friend. He came from so far away to see me. As a host, I need to invite
him into my house. Furthermore, didn’t you hear that he is thirsty? How can I let him stand at the door?
Mom and teacher have said that this is very rude.” Doris was like an adult, “Mom, am I right?”
“…” Rose was mentioned, “It’s correct, but…”
But she couldn’t find a reason to refuse Bright from entering.
“You adults find fault over everything.” Doris was getting upset. “Uncle Quinn, this is my house, I want
to invite my friend in.”
Doris pulled Bright to the door. William was unable to block and was afraid of hurting her little pure
heart.
William felt uneasy and remained at the door.
“Don’t worry, Doris is around,” Rose assured William.
“Mr. Quinn, aren’t you leaving? I won’t see you out.” Bright said as he saw William about to leave. He
then told Doris, “Doris, say goodbye to Uncle Quinn.”
“Uncle Quinn, bye-bye.” Doris waved her hand at William.
William took back his step and looked inwards, and said softly to Rose, “I’ll be downstairs in my car.
Call me immediately if you need me.”
“No need, go home to rest.” Rose didn’t want him to be involved any further.
“Remember, I’m downstairs,” William repeated before leaving.
Rose closed the door and walked to the living room and asked Doris, “Why did you wake up?”
“I was in the bathroom and heard your voices,” Doris said.
“Go to bed now, you have school tomorrow.” Rose walked over and wanted to pull Doris away.
Doris lunged towards Bright and said, “I want uncle to carry me to bed and read me a story.”
“Okay, whatever you say.” Bright carried the little Doris and went to her room.
The little princess’s room is pink and has several chimes, seashells, some were metallic and some
were glass… The room had a lot of other toys.
Bright placed her carefully onto the bed and covered her with a blanket. He picked up a book of nursery
rhymes and started to read.
His deep and pleasant voice was mesmerizing which sounded like piano music, it slowly charmed
Doris into a deep sleep.
He closed the door as he exited the room and Rose asked, “How did you find your way here?”
Bright turned and leaned into Rose with her back to the wall.
He lowered his head and glared into her eyes, “Did you miss me or not?”
