Bright had been silent after driving out of the Linder family's villa. He did not say a word, and even his face was cold and gloomy. Rose sitting next to him felt stressed and could hardly breathe.
Rose looked at Bright's cold profile, gently open her mouth, and tried to say something. But the words died on her lips as she didn't know what to say.
What Sophie said was true. She did lie to Bright. So, she was the one who was guilty and couldn't deny it.
Rose looked away and lowered her head. the shadows falling under her eyes to create a dark greenish hue.
She crossed her hands with mixed feelings.
The cramped space in the car made the silence between them even more intense.
Bright drove back to Asgard Lake Community. After parking the car, he did not immediately get off. Seeing he didn't get off, Rose also didn't move and seemed to be waiting for him to speak.
Bright sat for a few minutes and then said, "Get off the car and go home."
"Don't you... have anything to say to me?" Rose mustered the courage to speak first.
"We can talk about it after we go home." Bright unbuckled his seat belt and got off the car.
Rose followed him. Seeing Bright walk to the house, she rushed after him.
But she was so anxious and in such a hurry that she didn't pay attention to her feet and twisted her ankle, "Ah..."
She instinctively screamed out. Bright, who was walking in front of her, heard her voice, turned to look at her, and immediately turned back to help her.
"Why are you so careless? What are you thinking about?" Bright scolded her for her carelessness.
"I ... I'm fine." Rose tried to stand up and felt that nothing was wrong.
When Bright saw that she was fine, he was about to loosen his grip and let her go. Rose grabbed his hand in a hurry while seeing this, "Are you mad at me?"
"No." Bright said lightly.
"But I clearly feel that you are angry." Rose could feel it, "You didn't talk to me the whole way, and didn't smile when we got home. If you have something to say to me, just say it and I'm listening."
Bright, however, only stared at her for a moment, "Let's go inside first, okay?"
Bright withdrew his hand and walked inside.
Rose looked at her empty hand, and felt extra cold without Bright around.
She also entered the house. Bright had changed his shoes and gone upstairs. He went to Kathy's room first.
He pushed the door open, turned on the wall light, and walked to Kathy's bed. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face for a while, Bright tucked her in, kissed her on the forehead, and then left.
Rose saw what he did. Anyway, Bright did not dislike Kathy, but still cared about her very much.
