The secret that Doris is your biological daughter has been like a stone in my heart that made me feel uncomfortable. I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid to tell you.
Now that you know, I feel a lot more at ease but a lot guiltier at the same time.
Because of your kindness to me, I couldn't face you. My heart is a mess. I don't think I am worthy of your kindness.
Bright, I couldn't persuade myself to accept your kindness with peace of mind. This would only make me hate myself even more.
Sorry, I ran away. I wanted to find a place to calm down.
I don't know when I'll come back. Maybe I'll never come back... Don't wait for me and don't look for me.
I'll be good by myself. I'll also take care of Doris. Don't worry.
You should also pay attention to your health. Don't forget to eat and rest after being busy with work.
Your health is your most precious asset. Only by having a healthy body would you have what you want.
Bright, please forgive my cowardice and selfishness.
Therefore, I have signed the divorce agreement that you gave me. You can be free after you sign.
Finally, I wish you happiness, and sorry.
Rose Linder
After reading the short letter word by word, Bright's inner peace was destroyed bit by bit.
He squeezed the letter with his fingers so hard that he punctured the paper.
"Rose, you are indeed selfish!" Bright felt very angry and then balled the letter in his hand and threw it away.
His heart was crumpled up like this paper.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number. The call was soon answered. "Mr. Matthew, did Rose take a leave of absence?"
Since she left City H, she must have gone through handover procedures at work. Matthew was her immediate manager, so he should have a clearer idea.
Matthew was surprised at first because he did not expect Bright to not know about Rose's resignation. But he still told the truth, "She came to me to resign, but I didn't approve. I promised her that she can come back to work at any time, so she was given a long vacation… Is there something going on between you two? I'm sorry for asking."
"Thank you for telling me." Bright was rarely polite.
After finishing the conversation with Matthew, he sat on the edge of the bed and exhaled deeply and in a depressed manner. He rested his hands on the edge of the bed and tightened his grip so strongly that the veins on the back of his hands popped out and his joints turned pale.
It seemed that Rose had thought about all of this last night, but he had no idea like an idiot.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became that he was on the verge of going on a rampage. He could understand the embarrassment and discomfort that Rose felt from having her secret revealed. But he could not accept that she ran away without a word, like a deserter, and without clearing things up with him face to face.
He would not forgive her for being so capricious. If she wanted to leave, then he would just let her go. He would not chase after her anymore.
He also had his pride and self-esteem.
Before this, no one had ever dared to treat him like this.
The fire in Bright's chest burned so hard that he could not say anything. He had tried his best to restrain his anger, but when he saw the divorce agreement, his blood burned.
With a swing of his long arm, he knocked off the vintage ceramic lamp on the bedside table to the floor.
The ceramic on the lamp cover was so shattered that it could never be put together again.
