Come on Daddy!

Chapter 7 Her Knight to the Rescue

Rose sat on a European-style bench next to the flower bushes by the swimming pool, making a video call with her daughter.

“Mommy, you are so beautiful today, like a fairy.” Doris saw that Rose was particularly beautiful today and her eyes were filled with surprise.

My baby girl's mouth must be smeared with honey.

“Mommy, are there a lot of handsome uncles at the banquet?”

The little angel held up her pink cheeks lightly with both hands and blinked her big curious eyes. Rose suddenly had a bad feeling in her gut.

“Mommy, I’m not trying to criticize you. You should take this opportunity to find someone rich and handsome so you can marry into a wealthy family. Then you’ll be in a better position and you don't have to work so hard anymore.” Doris began to help her mother plan out her life. “Plus, you don’t know how to take care of herself. I can't control what you do anyway, so it's better to find a husband to take care of you.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“…” Rose was amused as she listened to her daughter speak like a little adult. “It's enough for mommy to have you. You can take care of mommy when you grow up.”

She really didn't think about a relationship. She just wanted to make more money while she was young, so she and her daughter would have something to rely on in the future.

“Mommy, I will marry the eldest brother of Burning Boys in the future, so I won’t have time to take care of you.” Doris gave Rose the cold-shoulder.

Doris was a fan of the Burning Boys group. She liked the eldest Dougie Gallagher among the three the most. She was a hardcore fan.

“…” Rose did not know what to say. “Then you can take care of me together.”

“No, brother Dougie has a lot of work to do. He’s very busy and works very hard.” Doris refused without hesitation.

“…” Was this her biological daughter?

“Mommy, I'm going to watch brother Dougie’s show, don't forget to find a husband.” Doris sent a kiss across the screen and disappeared.

Rose smiled, only her daughter could make her smile from her heart.

The swimming pool was surrounded by trees and bamboos, and it was very quiet.

She looked up to admire the deep night sky. The scattered stars in the middle of the night were shining and charming like diamonds.

“Are you Rose?" Suddenly, a terrifying voice came, breaking the rare tranquility.

Rose opened her eyes and saw a beautiful woman two meters away. A white flat-shoulder dress elongated her slender body, but the anger on her face destroyed the beauty of her body. “Does this young lady need anything?” Rose stood up gracefully and calmly.

“Do you know who I am?” The woman asked arrogantly.

“Does this have anything to do with me?” Rose asked gently.

“…” The woman didn’t get the response she wanted, and her expression instantly turned very ugly.

The woman gritted her teeth unwillingly. “I know Bright and David. Don't you want to know what my relationship is with them?”

“Sorry, I'm really not interested.” Rose chose to turn away as the woman provoked her for no reason.

She turned and walked away gracefully.

The woman stepped forward to block her way and stated her identity. “I am Tiana Simpson, the daughter of City J’s Simpson family. I call Bright my brother and David my boyfriend. Please behave yourself, Miss Linder.”

“Mr. Hank and I are only cooperating for a project.”

“You little designers use work as an excuse and are the best at using the opportunity to find a man and marry into a rich family.” Tiana scoffed with a laugh, looking down on women like them.

“Then let Mr. Hank come to explain to Miss Simpson.” Rose took out her mobile phone from her silver handbag to call David.

“You think I would give you the chance to complain!” Tiana no longer smiled and slapped Rose’s face.

Rose was not afraid. She became even calmer and raised her hand to hold Tiana’s wrist. “Miss Simpson, there is a line to being unreasonable!” Rose said in a deep tone.

Tiana was stunned by Rose’s sharp eyes, but she was unwilling to let go.

When she withdrew her right hand forcibly, her left hand reached out to Rose secretly and pushed her hard.

Behind Rose was the swimming pool. As she lost her balance and fell straight back, she grabbed Tiana’s hand and dragged her down together.

Thump!

A splash and ripples cut the pool’s surface.

Bright, who was heading over, heard the loud sound of people falling into water. He speeded up his steps and came to the swimming pool. With the soft light from the edge of the pool, he saw Rose and Tiana, who had both fallen into the water, struggled in the pool.

“Brother Bright, save me...” Tiana noticed Bright standing by the pool.

With a cold face, Bright quickly took off his suit jacket and black leather shoes. With an elegant dive that drew a graceful parabola in the air, he fell into the water.

He was like a sailfish slashing through the waves. Tiana smiled triumphantly at Bright, who was swimming towards her.

But Bright swam to Rose’s side, grabbed her long arms, and held onto her slender waist. “Hold onto me.”

His eyes were deeper and darker than the night.

She put her arms around his neck lightly. As they became close, she could feel the firm muscle under his shirt and his masculine strength.

In the night of early spring, the water in the pool was very cold, and he was scorching hot, staining her pale pink cheeks with colour.

After getting on the ground, Rose consciously let go and backed away, keeping her distance. “Thank you, Mr. Lee.”

Bright looked at Rose, who was soaked in water, and saw that she as elegant and pure like a lotus. Her watery apricot eyes looked tender and delicate.

Her close-fitting dress was moist and semi-permeable, drawing out her graceful curves. He didn't expect that a thin and tall woman like her would have the curves – full breasts, thin waist, white skin, and long legs.

Seeing her cherry lips turn blue, he picked up the suit jacket on the ground and put it on her shoulders.

His gentleness and considerateness made Rose feel complicated. She didn't know how to face him.

“Are you okay?” Bright raised his hand and brushed off the excess water on his dark hair.

“Yeah.” Rose nodded lightly.

Seeing Rose easily get Bright attention and thinking that Bright didn’t spare her a single glance, Tiana was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

“Brother Bright, save me... Ah, I'm choking...” Tiana yelled, trying to attract Bright’s attention.

“I don't have a sister.” Bright’s eyes fell on Tiana, who was struggling on the water. His eyes were deep and cold. “You dare to pretend to be my sister. Can you handle the consequences?”

Tiana felt despair spread from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head.

“Mr. …Lee. This woman not only seduced David, but she also wanted to get close to you. You can't be fooled by this woman.”

Bright ignored Tiana’s slander. Instead, he spoke to Rose. “Let's go.”

They didn't take more than a few steps before they ran into a security guard. “Someone fell into the water. You know what to do.”

The security guard nodded and ran to rescue Tiana, but she had already fallen into a semi-conscious state.

The security guard patted her face twice, yelled twice without responding, and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration for her...

Until a figure moved towards her with the peach blossom eyes shining brightly in the night did Tiana show signs of recovery. “Is she awake?”

Tiana blinked weakly, and she was greeted by a familiar face. She smiled happily. “David, did you save me?”
