Bright quietly listened to Rose talking about the conversation between Timothy and Sophie that she overheard in the underground parking lot of the hospital today.
"Are you listening?" Rose didn't hear any reaction from Bright after saying a lot.
"Yes. I just don't want to interrupt you." Bright shifted position, "Why didn't you tell me that Sophie has schemed against you?"
"We were unrelated at the time. How could I tell you?" at that time, Rose and Bright had only a contract, no feelings at all. It would be strange if she spilled out her troubles to Bright.
"Unrelated? Then the marriage certificate is a fake?" Bright softly rubbed his brow, having a little fear after the event, "Fortunately, you're smart."
"Yes. They even broke up the blind date and found a man with a bad reputation like Timothy. I definitely would be more careful anyway." Being praised by Bright, Rose was happy and proud.
"It's true that you're not very stupid." Bright chuckled.
Rose was a little displeased, "Is that a compliment or a sarcasm?"
"Of course it is a compliment." Bright was effusive in his praise, "Mrs. Lee is beautiful, smart, generous, gentle, and virtuous. I really love you."
"Come on, don't be so glib." Rose didn't believe his rhetoric, "I'll make sure Sophie gets what she deserves anyway."
Five years ago, Sophie schemed Rose to betray and abandon Sky. Now, Rose would deal with Sophie as Sophie had done to her.
"Rose, why do you hate Sophie so much? Because of Sky?" Bright asked her.
Rose hastily denied, "No. It is just because that she once set me up and ruined my life."
"Then why did she do it? She did it because of Sky, didn't she?" Bright reminded Rose that as long as they talked about this topic, it would involve Sky.
Rose was silent for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes. She loved Sky. But at that time, Sky contracted a form of marriage with me. So, Sophie did everything she could to hurt me and frame me. I was just twenty years old that year. But everyone abandoned me. Isolated and helpless, I felt that everything just seemed to cave in on top of me at that moment ... So, I can't just let her go."
"I'm not saying this to make you pity me. I just want to tell you that even if you mind and object, I will not stop. This is what Sophie owes me and what she deserves."
"Why would I object to that?" Bright frowned slightly, "Is that what I am in your eyes?"
In fact, he was indeed such a person. As long as he thought of that all Rose's emotions were related to Sky, he was very upset.
But he couldn't show his mind in front of her.
"You don't object?" Rose thought she had heard wrong.
"Do you know what I'd like to do right now?" Bright looked up at the clear blue sky.
"What?" Rose asked.
"I want to hold you in my arms, now." Bright's tone was soft, "In the future, with me around, no one can bully you. Anyone who bullies you will be avenged by me a thousand times."
"You are going to deal with Sophie. The grudge between you guys starts with Sky and should end with Sky. Just do anything as you want. I will pave the way for you and clear the decks for you."
He was too late to participate in her past. But he would cherish her and love her now and in the future.
