Chapter 17 Use This Opportunity to Repay the Favour
There was a deep smile hidden in Bright’s eyes, and he didn't care.
“Mr. Lee, please answer my question seriously.” Rose raised her eyebrows, refusing to be outdone.
But he still didn't answer Rose directly. Instead, he approached her, leaned over, and lifted the quilt. His long arms went around her back and under her knees, easily picking her up.
“Hey, Mr. Lee...” Rose was held in his arms and dared not move, otherwise she would risk falling down.
This man clearly did this on purpose!
She must’ve been crazy to think he was gentlemanly and considerate just now.
“Be good.” Bright bent, with his thin lips pressed against her ears, and his deep and deep voice floating into her ears. His hot and dry breath made her blush and turn red.
He held her and walked steadily out of the infusion room in long strides.
Under the enviable eyes of all the girls, he left.
By the steps to the hospital, a black Mercedes-Benz car stopped steadily. Upon seeing Bright walk down the steps, Bill opened the door to the back seat.
Bright placed Rose into the car lightly, and then got into the car from the other side.
Soon, the car drew away from the hospital.
Rose quietly distanced herself from Bright. The masculine scent of his body made people unable to resist.
This man was elegant and dangerous, and she didn’t want to be poisoned.
“Address.” Bright’s thin lips uttered one simple word.
“I...” Rose paused, looking at his cold and firm outline.
“Afraid I bite?” He laughed at himself.
Every woman who saw him was hungry like a female pervert, yet she regarded him as a pervert, hiding away.
“Mr. Lee, why don't you go back to the hotel first, and then I will go home.” Rose naturally didn't want him to drive her back.
Bright heard the refusal in her words and paused the hand that held the document. “I didn’t book a hotel.”
“…” Liar.
“I will spend the night at your house today.” He sounded natural as he spoke.
“Mr. Lee, I really thank you very much for what happened, but you can't cross the line, okay? I said I owe you one favour and I will repay it to you.” Rose sat up straight and spoke in a clear voice.
“So let's use this night to repay the favour.” When Bright said that, Rose couldn't find a reason to refute.
Rose pursed her lips and frowned, still embarrassed.
“It seems that Miss Linder's so-called sincerity is nothing more than this.” There was irony in Bright’s tone.
Rose was embarrassed. If she continued to refuse, then she would be going back on her words and would appear insincere.
But she couldn't bring Bright to her house. If he went, then the fact that she had a daughter would be exposed.
She couldn’t let Bright know; otherwise she wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
She wasn’t not afraid of anything. She was only afraid of losing Doris.
Even if Doris was so desperate for fatherhood, even if she couldn't bear it, she couldn't take the risk.
“What about giving yourself to me.” Seeing her silence, Bright went back to the last proposal. Rose picked up the phone and looked at it for a while, and then said, “The address is Silver Lake Garden.”
Bright slowly opened and looked through the file in his hand. A dark gaze flashed across his eyes, and his smile emerged in secret…
Bill drove the car into Silver Lake Garden according to the GPS and stopped at the entrance of building 5 unit 1.
Bright got off the car and looked around the environment. The greenery was rich and the space was not bad. Although it was not beautiful, it was still pleasant to live in.
Rose still couldn't resist Bright, and she was still carried out of the car and into the elevator. Neither of them spoke as they watched the white numbers jumping continuously until they stopped on the 9th floor.
They stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the door. Rose took out the key from her purse and opened the door. “Mr. Lee, please come in.”
Bright walked in. Rose took out a pair of slippers and gave it to him. “This is the only one for the male guest. Make do with it.”
He put on the slippers and followed Rose a few steps forward. On the left was the living room, on the right the dining room and kitchen, and directly in front the bedroom and the washroom.
The second bedroom was small with a modern minimalist style dominated by blue and white. The layout was very warm and tidy, suitable for daily living.
“Do you drink water or juice?” Rose asked politely.
“Water.” Bright sat down on the sofa in the living room.
After his observation, it was impossible that there were other men in this house, except for the spare pair of male slippers. The house was very feminine.
It seemed that Mrs. Lee, as his friend Harry had said, was a person of character.
How come the picture on the TV cabinet showed another woman?
Rose poured a glass of warm water. Seeing where Bright’s gaze landed, Rose explained. “She is my roommate Jane. She was born in this city and she went back to live with her parents today.”
In fact, she sent a message to Jane and asked Jane to accompany Doris and rest in her house while she stayed in Jane’s house for one night. They both had each other’s keys anyway.
As long as she fooled Bright for tonight, she wouldn't owe him anything tomorrow morning.
As long as he didn’t discover Doris’ existence, everything would be fine.
“You can sleep in the guest room. There are spare towels and toothbrushes in the bathroom cabinet. You can grab them yourself. I'll go to rest first.” Rose turned around to leave afterward. The last time they were alone in the same room in the Four Seasons Hotel made her still have a lingering fear, so she still avoided him to be safe.
“Miss Linder is so afraid of me?” Bright took a sip of water to moisturize his throat.
“Not at all, I'm not feeling well, I need to rest, and it’s quite late.” Rose gently placed her right hand on her lower abdomen to remind him. “Mr. Lee should rest early too.”
“If this is the case...then let’s rest.” Bright put down the cup and got up. He was tall and had long legs that the space seemed a bit cramped with him standing in the not-very-wide house.
He stepped over, stretched out his hand to support her waist naturally, and led her to the master bedroom.
When she arrived by the bed, Rose was forced to lie on the bed. She was so anxious that she placed her hands on her chest, and said squeakily, “Mr. Lee, I didn’t agree to let you sleep here!”
“What perverted things are you thinking of?” Bright just chuckled and pulled the quilt over her body. “Hurry up and rest. I am here with you.”
The warm white light fell from the top of his head, and the shadow of his eyelashes was clear. His eyes were dark like the night and twinkled like the stars. Rose’s delicate face was reflected in his pupils.
Just one look made Rose’s heart to miss a beat as if it contained electricity.
She looked away in a panic again. What was wrong with her?
“I'm no longer a child, and I don't need someone to accompany me. You go and rest.” There was no way for her to sleep while he was there.
He took care of her today and worked overtime, so he should be tired.
“If you don't want to sleep, we can chat.”
“Chat about what?”
“Didn’t you want an explanation from me?”
How would he explain why he said he was her husband?
She was a little curious.
