Come on Daddy (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 278

"Ah..." Rose woke up with a start.

When she opened her eyes, her fair forehead was covered with sweat, her chest heaved and her breathing was heavy.

Rose looked out of the window. It was already dawn.

She sat up, feeling frightened. The dream was so real that it made her feel terrible when she woke up, as if she were still trapped in the same nightmare.

Bright wouldn't forgive her... She knew that no man wouldn't give her a chance, let alone Bright.

She felt timid to face him more and more.

Rose looked at Doris beside her. She opened her eyes, too. The black and white eyes stared at her, "Mom, did you have a nightmare?"

"Baby, did I wake you? I'm sorry." Rose took two deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Don't be afraid, Mom. Doris and Daddy are here, we'll protect you." Doris stood up and hugged Rose, and gently patted her on the back. "It's just a dream, don't be afraid..."

Rose hugged Doris and said, "Mom is not afraid with you here."

And then Rose and Doris got up. Grandpa had warmed the breakfast in the wok.

There were steamed buns, millet gruel, dried radish... The smell of the food aroused their appetite.

Rose and Doris ate contentedly and cleaned up after the meal.

"Mom, let's go find grandpa." Doris helped her mother to dry the dishes.

"Good." Rose nodded. "Let's help Grandpa plant the vegetables."

"We are good children who love working."

Rose and Doris went out to find Grandpa in the fields and helped him plant vegetables.

Rose kept herself busy so that she wouldn't think about the things she didn't want to think about or face.

She spent the days like this for several days. When she was busy and tired, she would have a foot bath after diner and then went to bed. Only in this way could she have a good sleep and didn't have nightmare.

On this day, some news was spread across the village, "Have you heard about it? There is a handsome young man from the big city at Ms. Fatty's. I heard he's rich... and very generous."

"Why do the rich people in the big city like us in the backcountry? The girls here are not as good-looking as those in the city. I don't know what they are looking for..."

"You don't understand their mind. Although we are poor in the countryside, the air is fresh and the meat and vegetables are healthy. When the people are tired of living in the big city, they could come here to relax..."

"Arya is ready to go to the Ms. Fatty's to ask for the marriage for her daughter when she heard the news."

"Would the rich man hit on her daughter?"

"She is jealous that Ms. Bell's daughter married in a big city and got a lot of bride price. She was really obsessed with money."

Doris, who was playing around, also heard this. She ran to those gossipy aunts and inquired, "Ms. Flower, where does Ms. Fatty's live?"

"Aren't you a city dweller, little Doris? Why are you interested in the city comer?"

"Ms. Flower, I am just curious, and want to see whether Arya could succeed."

"How naughty you are..." Ms. Flower tapped the end of her nose, "Come on, I'll take you there. I am going to stop by."

"I didn't."

"How could you do this! I came here first!"

"What's the use you came here first? Ciara is not here. I arrive first."

"You..."

"Stop arguing, both of you. He's married." It was little Doris, who had been watching Sky, and said, "You have no chance."

"Kid, don't talk nonsense." Arya didn't take her words to heart and said, "You are not going to find a man for your Mom, right?"

"My Mom has my Dad." Doris gave Arya a sharp look that made her tremble and she did not dare to say anything.

"Doris." Sky called Doris, who was angry.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Doris always thought that the man from the big city was her father, but to her surprise, it was Sky.

"Uncle?"

Several people were shocked that they should know each other, and they were relatives.

"I..." Sky did not know how to answer her.

"You're not coming to see my mother, are you?" Doris guessed it right.

Sky's heart beat fast and looked into Doris' innocent eyes, but he lied, "I just came out to relax. I was surprised at meeting you."
