Come on Daddy!

He said it so soft and light that he seemed like a different person from Bright, who had been so overbearing and powerful.

And he sounded so tired that anyone who heard him would feel bad for him.

It was noisy in the dining room, but Rose felt quiet around her, and all she could hear was Bright's clear breathing and her own heart beating.

She held the phone and listened to his breathing without feeling bored or uncomfortable. Instead, she felt so good.

What was wrong with her?

How could she think Bright's breathing was pleasant to the ear?

She kept silent for so long that Matthew looked at her, whose mind had drifted away, and said gently, "Miss Linder, the dinner is ready."

"Oh." Rose came to her senses and said to Bright, "I have to go now."

"It can't happen again next time." Bright softened his reprimand, "And go home with Doris after dinner. Don't hang around. Keep it in your mind that you are married, you have to behave yourself."

What was wrong with her behavior? She just had dinner with her colleague, and there were kids with them.

Their marriage was about to end and there would be no chance that she could misbehave herself.

"I know exactly what to do and what not to do, and I don't need you to remind me." Rose was unhappy that he had some comments on her acts.

She was not an easy woman and she would only do what she was supposed to do.

"Well, that's great." Bright didn't have much energy to talk to her. He seemed really tired.

In Rose's eyes, Bright had always been an omnipotent person. Nothing could easily knock him down, but what made him so tired? Was he sick, or did he encounter problems in work?

She had many questions, but it was not the right time for further discussion.
