Come on Daddy!

Rose took a deep breath and suppressed the grievances and anger she held inside.

"Dad, more haste, less speed. Timothy is not a fool. He's not going to marry me just because you want him to," Rose analyzed the situation, "If he is the type to be shackled by marriage, he wouldn't be single at the age of 35 with no women daring to marry him."

"It's because those women are not worthy of him! If you weren't the eldest daughter of the Linder family, he wouldn't want to dine with you. It's your luck to marry him. How could you be so picky?" Chandler sneered. "I'm telling you, from now on, you better handle this marriage with care. Or you'll be taking responsibility for the consequences."

Rose didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.

The days just passed away like this. Since Bright called that day, he didn't contact Rose anymore – no call or text.

Rose hadn't heard his voice for a long time and suddenly was a little not used to it.

A week later, Joy and Sophie returned from City G.

Rose picked up Doris from school and ran into them.

When Sophie saw Rose and Doris getting off the Ferrari sports car, she was anxious and angry, and immediately rushed up and raised her hand to slap Rose.

But Rose was getting out of the car with Doris at the time, and she was not fully prepared. When she collected herself, it was too late to avoid Sophie's hand completely. Sophie's fingertips swept across her face, leaving a red mark.

"You bad woman. Why did you slap my mom?" Seeing that Rose was slapped, Doris blamed Sophie.

Sophie looked at Doris, who stood in front of Rose, protecting her. Doris was glaring at her with a pair of big eyes, and her sharp gaze made her afraid.

This child addressed Rose as mom. Could she be the child that Rose gave birth to five years ago?

Sophie looked at the little child and remembered things from five years ago, remembered things she didn't want to remember.
