Come on Daddy novel (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 169

Rose then read a bedtime story to Doris. Doris held her giant panda doll and listened to her mother reading the story quietly. The melodious and pleasant voice of her mother made Doris feel peaceful.

Halfway through the story, Bright came out of the bathroom, wiping his wet hair while walking over to the bed.

Rose looked at Bright. He was wearing his gray silk pajamas. They were a bit small for him.

After all, Bright was ten centimeters taller than Chandler, so Bright's wrists and ankles were more exposed in the pajamas and that made the tall and handsome Bright look a little funny.

Rose wanted to laugh, but she managed not to.

From Rose's staring, Bright knew that the pajamas did not fit him.

"Laugh if you like."

Bright walked over to the other side of the bed.

Hearing this, Rose didn't hold back her laughter and laughed like a nightingale.

Even Doris, who had not been asleep, sat down, and grinned.

Bright reached over and touched Doris's forehead. "You made fun of daddy, too?"

"Daddy, you are like a big thief wearing children's clothes. I really can't help it." Doris shook Bright by the arm. "But Daddy is the most handsome man in my eyes."

"Clever girl." Bright touched the bridge of her nose.

"Well, go to bed. Don't be late for school tomorrow morning." Rose patted the soft pillow to remind Doris.

Doris took the bedtime book from Rose and put it in Bright's hand, "Daddy, you will read to me today. It is mommy who has been reading to me, but you never did it."

She riveted her round eyes at Bright, hoping he would accept her request.

"Daddy is tired." Rose reminded Doris to be good.

Bright was so busy that she didn't want her daughter to add to his burden.

"What does it matter? My daughter wants to hear me reading." Bright took the story book from Doris and rubbed her hair lovingly. "Daddy will read the story to you every day and make up for the time I didn't spend with you before, OK?"

"Really?" Doris looked at Bright excitedly.

Bright nodded seriously. "Of course it's true. When has Dad ever lied to you?"

Doris shook her head without hesitation. "That's so great! Dad is the best."

Looking at Doris's happy face, Rose felt left out.

"Dad's the best, but mom's not? You have your father and forget your mother." Rose teased Doris.

Doris gave Rose a hug and said, "Mother is irreplaceable in my heart."

The clever little kid was so lovely.

"All right, lie down." Rose put Doris down on a pillow and then tucked her in bed.

Bright held the story book for her and continued reading the story.

Perhaps Doris was so excited today that she stayed awake until the story finished.

"What's the matter with you today?" Rose watched Doris. "Aren't you well?"

"No, I think I'm too excited to sleep." Doris looked from side to side. "Mommy, Daddy, will you both lie down? Sleep with me."

Rose and Bright looked at each other and then lay down.

Doris slept in the middle, with her mom on her left and dad on her right, just like the little princess they protected in the middle, safe and happy.

She stretched out her soft left hand to hold her mother's hand, stretched out her right to hold her father's.

They were a family of three at this time, very warm and lovely.

Doris said, "It's nice to have Mommy and Daddy with me."

"I will always be with you." Bright promised Doris.

"Close your eyes and go to sleep." Rose patted her lightly to lull her to sleep.

Doris obediently closed her eyes, her thick, curling lashes looking like little wings.

Doris held her parents' hands tightly and fell asleep under Rose's gentle coaxing.

After her daughter's breathing was gentle and even, Rose tried to pull back her hand, but the child held it so tightly that she would not let it go even in her sleep.

"Daddy, don't go..." Doris was whispering in her dream.

Bright patted the child gently and said, "Daddy won't leave. You can rest assured. Mommy and Daddy are here together."

Then Doris fell asleep again and did not talk in her sleep.

It could be seen that the child was eager for father's love. She hoped her mom and dad be together and craved having a complete family.

Rose looked at Doris's lovely sleeping face, and her heart was filled with excitement.

She felt sorry for the child and had been ignoring her feelings.

"Well, don't blame yourself." Bright saw Rose lowering her eyelids, and her eyes reddened. "It is instinct that children yearn for the love of their parents. You have been working hard to take care of her by yourself these years, and you have done a good job."

"So, don't take it to heart too much. With me here, I will take good care of you. I would take care of her and let her no longer feel that she is a child without father."

Bright reached over and took her right hand, calming her down.

Rose felt the heat of his warm hand wrap her tightly, giving her strength and security.

Rose nodded. "After we bid on the Beach Hotel, Doris and I will go to City J."

She was not just doing it for Doris, she was doing it for herself and for Bright.

Since she had decided to be with him, she, as a wife, should be considerate of her husband.

It was just that she changed a place to work, so that it could spare Bright from flying two cities at a time and spare his tiredness of working.

"In fact, if you really don't want to leave here, I will respect your decision." Bright didn't want to force her. "Since you can't come to City J, I should come with you. I'm a man and I should take more responsibility."

Rose shook her head and held his hand. "I didn't force myself to make this decision. I'm serious. We're a family. We have to safeguard our home. The Linder family has never really been my family. It is because of grandma that I stay."

"Grandma also said since I get married, I should take care of my own family. And I should balance work and family."
