Come on Daddy novel (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 12

After two hours of flying, Rose finally returned to City Y.

As she breathed the air in City Y, Rose even felt that her mood change. All the haze from the past few days was swept away.

And she was about to see Doris. The lively little girl was her source of happiness. As Rose thought of Doris, all her worries and frustration disappeared.

She pushed her luggage and just as she got out of the passageway, she saw her daughter holding a sign that read, “Welcome home to the most beautiful, cutest and capable mother”. How dumbfounding and warm!

“Mommy, I'm here!” Doris waved at Rose, her small face smiling brilliantly.

Jane, who held Doris in the crowd, stood in a conspicuous position, smiling gently.

Today happened to be the weekend, so they went to pick up Rose.

Rose quickened her pace and arrived in front of her friend Jane. She took her daughter from Jane’s embrace, and the mother and daughter kissed and hug. Everything was warm and sweet.

“Thank you, Jane.” After Rose caught up with her daughter, she thanked Jane for taking care of Doris these days.

“Rose, isn’t saying thanks a little too distanced. Besides, I watched Doris grow up, and she is like my daughter too. It’s my responsibility to take care of her.” Jane looked at Doris while doting on her.

Jane took Rose’s luggage while Rose held Doris, and they chatted and laughed as they headed to the parking lot.

“Let’s go, we're going home.”

Jane drove while the mother and daughter sat in the back.

Because of the traffic jam on the road, it was almost noon, so they had to change their plan and eat first and then go home.

At the restaurant, they chose a window seat and sat down.

“Mommy, it felt like forever when I couldn’t see you. I miss you so much.” Doris lovingly laid in her mother's arms.

Is this idiom supposed to be used like that?

Rose squeezed her soft face lightly. “Once work is over, mother flew back early in the morning. Mother missed you too.”

“Mom has worked hard. This is your reward.” Doris took a butterfly lollipop from panda backpack and gave it to Rose. Her black and bright eyes were filled with innocence.

“Mom has you, so work isn’t hard.” In Rose’s heart, her daughter was her greatest motivation and comfort.

In the past five years, Rose and Doris depended on each other. Three years ago, Doris fell ill and was in danger. Rose had nothing and when she was about to collapse, she met Mr. Faulkner, who handed her a marriage certificate and a one-million-dollar cheque, with a three-year limit.

In order to get money to save Doris’ life, Rose sold her marriage to a stranger.

Fortunately, this secret marriage did not affect her and her and her daughter’s life remained unchanged.

Now that the three-year period was approaching, she was about to withdraw from this marriage and become truly free.

Only last night she received a message from Mr. Faulkner – “Miss Linder, please abide by the contract. You are a married woman, remember your position and keep your virtue.”

How was she immoral?

This was simply blatant slander! Rose was extremely mad!

“But it’s very hard for me to see my mother alone, so I have to solve your life’s major issues before I grow up and marry brother Dougie.” Doris’ serious look made Jane and Rose almost choke with tea.

“Doris is really eager to see her mother get married.” Jane took a napkin and wiped the corners of her lips.

“...” Rose pretended not to understand and continued to drink tea.

“Mommy, what about the handsome uncle I asked you to take pictures of last night? Show him to me and let me pick for you.” Doris shook Rose’s arm and was determined.

“There was no handsome uncle, only a weird uncle.” Rose handed her the phone and placed Bright first in her heart. “I could only sneak a short video in the corner.”
