Come on Daddy!

Chapter 53 He Suddenly Appeared

Rose went and looked through the peephole. Why did he come?

“Rose, are you here? I’m looking for you.” With no answer from Rose, the person outside knocked on the door several times.

“I’m here.” Rose opened the door and standing at the door was William, “why are you here?”

“I need to talk to you.” William went through countless internal conflicts and struggles before mustering sufficient courage to look for her, “May I come in?”

“Come in.” Rose backed off for William to enter and she closed the door behind him. “Mr. Quinn, I’m sorry that I don’t have slippers that suit you, I hope you don’t mind.”

“No worries, I’ll use shoe covers.” William saw some disposable shoe covers and put them on.

After he put on the shoe covers, William walked to the living room. Rose said, “Please have a seat. What would you like? Water, juice, or coffee?”

“Water will do.” William sat on the soft sofa.

Rose went to get the glass of water. He looked around. It was a simple two-room apartment. Though it isn’t big, it was very warm and cozy. She had a lot of succulent plants and soft toys which were mainly animals.

On the wall were pictures of Rose and Doris, who were smiling from ear to ear.

William’s heart warmed up when he saw their smiles.

Rose poured two glasses of water and placed one in front of William, “Is there any urgent matters that brought you here at this hour?”

William was not a brash person. His personality was good and very capable, that’s why everybody was impressed by him.

“Rose, I just can’t accept this.” William was a little embarrassed, “I can’t understand why things can get to the extent that you are willing to give up everything here and leave.”

“I’m from City H and all my relatives are over there. My grandmother is already very old and wishes for my presence. What’s even more important is there are some issues that require me to attend to.” Rose looked very stern and serious.

“Are you in some form of trouble? I can help you.” William thought that she was in trouble and looked worried.

“No, it’s not any trouble. It’s just that these can’t be done by anyone other than me.” Rose rejected him, “thanks for your offer.”

“What’s there to thank, I have not done anything.” William shook his head and suddenly felt the distance between him and Rose, “Rose, don’t be too hard on yourself.”

“I know.” Rose was touched but couldn’t repay him, “You too, you need to take care of yourself after I leave.”

William nodded, at that moment the two became sullen and the mood became tense.

William got up, “I’m sorry to disturb you, have a good rest.”

“I’ll see you out.” Rose placed her glass down and walked William to the door.

William went out the door and turned around, and looked deeply at Rose with his pair of jet-black eyes.

The moment was tender and melancholy, enough for anyone to tear up.

“Rose, I… I like you.” William could no longer contain his feelings, he reached out to gently embrace Rose.

His chin rest on her shoulder, “Rose, I would like to take care of you and Doris, I know that I’m still not good enough but please give me a chance. I will do my utmost best to give you happiness.”

“I don’t believe that you can’t see my feelings towards you. I believe that you also want someone that you can lean on and a family and I want to give that all to you.”

“Rose, be my girlfriend…”

That gentle, moving proposal was thick and full of affection drifted into her ears… All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Rose wasn’t a cold-blooded person and naturally will be moved, but she has yet to reach the level of love.

“Mr. Quinn, you are very talented but now we are only friends and colleagues. I am also not prepared for a relationship, I’m sorry.” Rose rejected him cruelly and squashed this budding love affair.

“I can wait if you are not ready. I’ll be here waiting until you are ready.” William was very careful with this relationship.

But Rose did not want him to lower himself, “Don’t wait for me, I won’t be back. You will find someone you really like. Don’t waste your time on someone unworthy.”

She didn’t want to give him false hopes because she also can’t see any hope.

William’s enthusiasm was doused somewhat by her but he persisted, “Waiting for you is my choice, you are the person that I really like, someone I want to wait for and someone I want to marry.”

He became more determined with each word, expressing his determination not to give up.

“What if I like someone else?” Rose saw that he wouldn’t give up and became even crueler.

“…” William stared at her and couldn’t continue, “if you want me to give up, then say no more.”

William took a deep breath and composed himself, turned, and was about to leave.

At this moment there was a figure at the staircase. It's was unable to make out the person due to the lighting of the stairwell but his ominous presence could be sensed.

That person came from the staircase and with each step, his identity was revealed.

Long legs, business suit, elitist… and dashingly handsome.

William looked at Bright walking towards him and felt surprised and threatened.

“Why is Mr. Lee here?” William said first.

“The legs are mine and I can go wherever I want. Mr. Quinn can’t control me, can you?” Bright was direct and blunt. He didn’t bother with William.

Rose didn’t expect Bright to come and this was her home.

How long has he been here? Was he standing there all this while? Did he listen in to their conversation?

There were too many questions and made Rose fluster.

Bright stood by the door and looked at Rose, “I flew for two hours, spent fourth minutes on the road to get here… aren’t you inviting me in for a rest?”

“Why are you here?” Rose didn’t move and just questioned him in return.

“Someone sent me two messages and I’m here. I just wanted to ask if this is real.” Both of Bright’s hands were in his pockets, he smirked under the light and his laughter looked devilish.

“Messages? What messages?” Rose looked confused at him and looked terrified.

Bright took out his phone nonchalantly, and launched Wechat and said, “I miss you, I miss you. Twice.”

“Who sent that?” Rose asked and her heart was pounding.

“Isn’t this you?” Bright placed his phone in front of her for her to look.

“Mr. Lee, please don’t harass Rose.” William stood between them protecting Rose, “Please leave.”
