Come on Daddy!

Chapter 261 I Am Helping My Own Daughter

Bright just curled his lips slightly. It was a smile of sarcasm.

He saw Lina's mind. He knew that she could not control him, so she had to ask his father to control him. After all, Francis was his own father. With his father and his stepmother here, he would more or less make some concession.

However, Lina forgot that he was Bright and he would do what he wanted. Even though his father and stepmother were present, no one could force him to do anything he did not want to.

"That was very thoughtful of Lina. I have to thank you." Bright looked at her and smiled, but that smile made Lina feel creepy.

Lina stood there in embarrassment and didn't know where to put her hands. She knew she must have annoyed Bright with her big mouth.

But she had to do it for Zoe. Zoe didn't betray her, so she couldn't give her up and let her be detained.

Even if it would make Bright dislike her way of doing things, she had no choice.

It was better than he knew it was her who took Zoe away and left Doris behind.

"Brother Bright, I... that's what I should do." Lina bit her lips, knowing her excuse was unjustified.

"Darling, who is here?" Rose came over and saw Mr. Francis and Ms. Hallie and Lina standing at the door.

To her surprise, Francis and Hallie showed up in front of her house at this moment. It seemed that Lina must have something to do with it.

Francis and Hallie looked at Rose too, each with mixed feelings.

Rose offered, "Dad, Ms. Hallie, come in."

"Do you think he wants us to come in?" Francis glanced at Bright, who still didn't move away.

Smiling, Rose reached out and pulled Bright away, making way for him. "Dad, don't bother with Bright. He's just being childish."

"What do you mean?" Bright asked with displeasure. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Rose ignored him and let Francis and Hallie go in first, with Lina following Francis and Hallie.

Rose followed and Bright chased after her, "Tell me, what do you mean?"

"I mean, you are handsome and easy to attract women's attention." Rose comforted him and satisfied Bright's pride.

He smiled happily. "Did you like that?"

"Sure." Rose felt that he was like a child of three and could only be coaxed patiently.

Lina, who was not far away from them, heard their conversation, especially Bright's gentle voice. She felt as if she had been choked by the affection.

Francis entered the living room with Hallie and Lina. Rose made tea for them, respectfully and attentively.

"Dad, Ms. Hallie, have you eaten yet?" Rose asked carefully.

They had just had dinner, and Rose didn't think they had had if they caught the flight.

"I've had some food on the plane, so I'm not hungry now." Hallie answered.

"Oh. That won't work. I'll cook you some dishes." Rose got up and started to get busy.

"You needn't do anything. Sit down." Francis said.

"It's your first time you have come here. We have to treat you well." Rose didn't think it was appropriate.

Bright took her by the hand. "There's everything on a private jet, so don't worry about it."

Rose turned to look at Bright... Private jet.

Forgive that poverty had limited her imagination. She never thought they flied here by a private jet. If so, they must be treated well.

After a hundred years of accumulation and expansion, the Lee family was fabulously wealthy, and it was natural that they owned a private jet. It was just that she was a little too fussy.

Rose sat down on the sofa again, while Lina had a twinkle of sarcasm in her eyes, thinking that Rose was such a clodhopper. She didn't even know this. There was a big gap between her and Bright, so she couldn't join their circle at all.

She really didn't know why Bright was attracted to her, except that she was clean and outstanding.

"Today we're here to see you about Zoe." Francis got straight to the point. "I've heard all about it from Lina. As the parent of the Lee family, I hope that the family can live in peace and in harmony."

"It is true that Zoe made a mistake in this matter, but she didn't mean it. For the sake of Ms. Hallie and me, I hope she can be let go this time. And she'll learn something from it and she won't do it again."

"Dad, this matter is not as easy as you think. It is human life!" Bright disagreed.

"I wasn't asking you. I was asking Rose." Francis looked at Rose, hoping she would say something.

"Dad, you can't force her." Bright defended his wife. "I have the final say on this matter."

"Bright, Zoe is your sister, the daughter of Ms. Hallie, and my daughter. You can't do this to her. Do you ever think what people may say when the news spreads? Is it proper to say that Bright is heartless, suppressing his stepmother's daughter?" Francis frowned.

"I've had a lot of dirty water splashed on me. And I never care what others say." Bright didn't want Rose to be wronged. He would rather bear anything.

"You don't care? What about the century-old reputation of the Lee Family? And you don't care either?" Francis was disappointed at Bright's disregard of the Lee family.

"What I care about is that my daughter has been hurt, and as a father I have to bring fair back for her." Bright's words were so powerful and rational that there was no way to refute him.

Rose looked at his profile, with a gentle and admiring look in her eyes. The man could always give her a strong sense of confidence and security.

She was never wronged when he was here, nor was her daughter.

"As a father, I also want to ask for the best leniency for my daughter." Francis and Bright were at war again, and the atmosphere got tensed.

Hallie was afraid that they might fall out of harmony, so she said, "Honey, don't make it hard for Bright and Rose. Let Zoe suffer for her mistakes."

"No." Francis insisted.

"I don't think so, either." Bright agreed with Francis. "I wouldn't let my daughter suffer this."

"Is she your daughter?" Francis asked him, "I'm happy that you and Rose are married, and I don't force you to be with Lina, but that doesn't mean I'm fine with you cheating me. That little girl is not your daughter at all!"

"Zoe is just your stepdaughter." Bright didn't care about Hallie, "You are just helping Ms. Hallie's daughter!"

"Then you're helping Rose daughter."

"No, Dad, I'm not like you. I am helping my own daughter."
