Come on Daddy!

Hallie flattered Francis just so he can be happy.

"All you do is coax me and make me happy." Francis smiled helplessly and shook his wife's hand.

As soon as he saw that Bright had already taken Rose into the living room, his face became cold once again in just a second. He pulled back his hand and sat upright, showing authority as a fatherly figure.

"Dad, auntie," Both said politely.

"Rose must be tired having flown all the way here. Have a seat." Hallie greeted her warmly.

"I'm not tired. I rested in the car for a while. I feel better now." Rose was indeed much better than before.

She quickly got her suitcase and opened it to take out some gifts and put them on the coffee table.

"Our last meeting was too rushed, so I didn't prepare anything. This time I heard that dad is not in a good health. I bought these for Dad. A doctor who was a classmate of mine recommended them. They are good for the body," Rose was afraid that Francis would dislike her for buying randomly, so she explained. "I know dad isn't short of anything. These things are not expensive, but I hope that dad can accept them as a token of regard from the daughter-in-law."

As an upper-class family, the Lee family wasn't short of anything, but what she wanted to show was her concern.

The gift was trifling, but the feeling was profound.

She also felt that something bad would happen and hoped that the small token of regard could help prevent Francis from becoming overly angry.

After all, she had seen him become angry, and it was very terrifying.

She didn't like being smashed by teacups.

"Thanks." Francis nodded, thinking that Rose still had a sense of filial duty. She was a good girl, someone who didn't seem like the type to do that kind of thing.
