Come on Daddy novel (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 69

“So this is the reason you didn’t want to go on a blind date.” Jennifer saw through the cause and effect at a glance.

Rose knew she was wrong. She bent and dared not look at her grandma.

“I shouldn't be hiding it from you, but I didn't know how to tell you yet.”

“Rose, how did you live these years? Did you never go abroad at all?” Jennifer felt sorry for her granddaughter.

“Grandma, I had a bit of hardship at first, but there were still many good people in this world, so I had a good time with Doris.” Rose recalled the days when she lived with Doris, feeling painful yet happy.

Jennifer took the phone and looked at the pink little girl in the photo with two tall pony-tails on her head, a white skirt, and a red belt tied into a bow. White long-legged socks, small leather shoes, and pouted lips made her look very cute.

“Is this really your daughter?” Jennifer’s wrinkled palm slowly stroked the photos. She still felt it unreal.

“Yes. Isn't she cute?” Rose looked at the photo next to her grandma.

“She’s exactly the same as when you were a kid.” The cloud of anger on Jennifer’s face disappeared at this moment, and she smiled.

“So grandma is not mad at me for the sake of Doris?” Rose tried to please her grandma.

“How can it be that easy? You have been hiding something so big from your grandma for five years! I missed out five years of time with Doris! These five years, who will give me them back to me?” Jennifer pretended to be angry with a stern face.

“Grandma, I will bring you Doris tomorrow. Take a good look. Will you take a closer look?” Rose linked arms with her grandma. She started to act like a lovely child again.

“Yeah, you came back all by yourself, so what about Doris? You left her in City Y by herself? Who will take care of her? Aren’t you worried? What kind of mother are you?” Jennifer sighed, expressing her anxiety.

“Grandma, don't worry, I have already taken Doris to City H. She is at Nora’s place. She eats well and has fun and sleeps well.” Rose had a video call with Doris before going to bed last night.

“With the Cooper girl?” Jennifer turned to look at Rose beside her. “Then you go and pick her up now. How can our family’s child live at someone else’ place?”

“Grandma, it’s quite late. Children go to bed early, so we can't just go and wake her up.” Rose showed the time to Jennifer. “Plus, you just fainted today, and your complexion and you haven't recovered. Have a good night’s sleep today, and you’ll be refreshed. Tomorrow I will definitely bring you Doris to let you see her.”

Jennifer thought that Rose was right. Her poor complexion might scare the child.

Although she had a strong desire to see the child, she could only bear with it.

“Okay, lie down and sleep well.” Rose helped her grandma, laid the soft pillow flat, and let her lie down. “I will be with you.”

“Rose, who is Doris’ father?” Jennifer was still curious. “Is he really gone?”

“Grandma, he is just an ordinary person. When we were preparing to get married, we discovered that he was in the late stage of illness. He didn't want to burden me, so we didn’t get the certificate. He passed away, and at that time, I was just pregnant with Doris.” Rose made up a white lie to comfort her grandma.

But Bright's face floated in her mind, which made her feel very guilty.

She could only say sorry in her heart. She was just talking nonsense that shouldn’t be taken seriously.
