"Don't bother." Serena rejected his good will. "I can go back on my own."
"The Kim family's place isn't far away. We're coming back to the Lee family. We are on the same way."
Bright didn't want Serena to think it was a burden for him.
"It's OK. Really." Serena rejected again. "I want to be alone."
Now that she said so, Bright didn't insist anymore. Rose said, "Be careful. Call us or text us after you're
back home."
"OK." Serena nodded.
They walked to the door of the restaurant. Bright flagged down a taxi for Serena and gave 200 to the
driver. "Keep the change. Please send her home safely."
Serena looked at Bright with gratitude. "Thank you, Bright."
She called his name after Bright corrected her and asked her not calling him Mr. Bright.
"Don't mention it." Bright waved his hand to her. "You can call me if you need me. I think my brother
would also want me to take care of you on his behalf."
"Thanks." Serena said with a smile but in a choked voice.
Bright watched the taxi driving away. Rose led Doris stepping forward, standing beside him shoulder to
shoulder.
"What are you thinking?" Rose broke the silence after a while.
"I think Serena is different from what she used to be." Bright held Rose's hand and walked to their car
together.
"Serena is more beautiful, having the charm of a mature woman. Of course she is different from what
she used to be." Rose held his arm and spoke out her thought.
"No." Bright looked back at Rose. His eyes were like a lake reflecting a shimmer of light. "I think she is
in trouble, but she doesn't want to trouble me."
"She's married. She will ask her husband to help out if she's in trouble. It will be awkward to ask you
rather than her husband for help. If she asked you to help her, her husband would be upset." Rose
analyzed.
"Is that so?" Bright's left eyebrow moved.
"Of course." Rose patted his strong chest. "You're over-thinking."
Bright suddenly leaned over. His lips got close to her ears. She could feel his breath in her ear, which
made her itching.
"You're all I want. I want all of you to be mine." Bright's voice was deep and charming. He kissed her
earlobe softly.
Rose felt her heart beating. Her heart beat a little faster every time Bright talked like this way.
Through the shadow of night, Rose's eyes were shining while Bright's eyes seemed like the night sky.
Doris looked at her parents who were looking right into each other's eyes, witnessing PDA.
She covered her eyes with her little hands. "It's unsuitable for children."
Bright couldn't help kissing Rose's lips.
Then, Bright scooped Doris up. "Let's go home."
Rose was holding his hand. He found her eyes full of softness. "We can continue when we're back
home."
Rose gave him a glare, but actually she felt happy.
She looked at the man beside her. She thought she was a lucky and happy girl, who could be loved by
an outstanding man admired by men and adored by women.
Days went by after Rose went back to City J. She wanted to set up a studio by herself, so she didn't
look for jobs in a hurry. But she didn't have much experience. Besides, she was a young lady, which
was hard to win others' confidence.
So, she planned to studied further while taking part in some heavyweight design competitions. Those
trophies would be the evidence of her ability, if she could win the prizes.
Only when she had masterpieces and major prizes could she have clout and customers be assured.
Luckily, a Chinese American professional designer was going to offer lessons in City J, so she signed
up. She was more enjoying study now.
Bright supported every decision that she made, so Rose felt that she owed him a lot. She would fulfill
his wish if he wanted her to stay with him a little longer.
Though Bright seemed like a man that didn't care much, he was very possessive of Rose. He often
stuck with her and wasn't willing to separate with her, extremely wanting to see her beautiful face.
Rose usually had two lessons in the morning. She would send Doris to school on her way.
But Bright felt worried about them. He would drive them there himself or ask driver to do it.
One day, Rose received Nora's phone call as soon as she arrived at school. Nora said, "Don't you miss
me? You didn't call me once after coming back to City J."
"Of course I miss you. I have lessons on weekdays. I planned to call you this weekend, but then you
call me now." Rose walked up the steps and went towards the classroom.
"Stop kidding me." Nora said with discontent.
"I'm not kidding you." Rose told Nora what she did recently. "See if I'm kidding you."
"Fine. I forgive you." Nora sighed. "I have been feeling lonely since you left. I can't find anyone to have
coffee together."
"What about Jayden or Sia?" Rose suggested.
"Have coffee with Jayden? Having drinks with him is more realistic." Nora had been restraining herself
from drinking, because she didn't want to have accidents after drinking anymore.
"How are things with Nathan? Does Lillian do what you say?" It suddenly crossed Rose's mind.
"She asked me to the seaside villa today. I'm on my way now." Nora looked out of the window, watching
the endless sea.
"Tell me if you need me. Though I'm not with you in City H, my heart is with you. I care about all things
that you do." Having promised to be best friends forever, Rose wouldn't leave her alone.
"So disgusting." Nora laughed. "Bright will be jealous to death if he know that you tell me these soulful
words."
"I think he will kill you before he get jealous to death." Rose guessed.
"That's true." Nora approved Rose's guess.
Rose was going to start her lesson and Nora had arrived at the villa, so they hung up.
Nora walked in the villa in an elegant manner. She took off her khaki coat. Her black dress inside could
be seen, bringing out her sexy body shape with big boobs and slender waist.
She found Lillian sitting in the sofa in the living room. It seemed that she had been waiting for Nora for
a long time.
Nora came and sat down with her curly hair hung over her left shoulder, making her hotter.
The maid served Nora a cup of coffee, which had been prepared, with milk but without sugar according
to her habit.
Nora smiled at Lillian and asked, "Have you made your decision yet?"
