Come on Daddy!

Chapter 280 I Don't Need Your Thanks

Sky finally summoned up the courage to speak out the purpose of being here. He was here to find Rose.

The soft wind brought the words "I am looking for you, Rose." to Rose, who still kept her smile, "What did Mr. Tanner look for me for? But please call me Miss Linder."

The dear name of Rose was no longer suitable for him to address, so Rose corrected him.

"There's something I want to ask you, and there is something I want to say to you." Sky looked serious. But his eyes got tender as he looked at Rose, not as cold and gloomy as before.

"I don't think there's anything else we can say." Rose ignored the tenderness in his eyes and kept the distance they should have.

"Rose, just spare some time with me." Sky fought for the chance after being rejected.

"Let's start by calling me Miss Linder." Rose insisted.

"Fine." Sky could only compromise, "This is not a good place to talk. Can we go to another place?"

"Come with me." Rose led Doris back.

Doris looked back at Sky, "Uncle, hurry up."

Although Sky used to be ice-cold towards Rose, Doris thought it was not as bad as Sophie's attitude, and she had a special feeling towards Sky, a kind of cordial feeling, a little similar to her father, but not her father. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

In Doris's heart, there was no substitute for Bright.

Sky nodded at her, and then quickened his pace to close the distance between them.

Doris looked up at Rose and said, "Mom, is my Uncle going with us to my great-grandfather's?"

"You're going to annoy your brother Dougie by talking too much." Rose touched the tip of her nose with her finger.

Doris closed her mouth and stopped talking.

In fact, they had no place to go, so Rose had to take Sky to her grandfather's.

Grandfather, who had just come out to see if Rose had found Doris, not only saw Rose and Doris return, but also saw a man following them.

"Grandfather." Doris let go of Rose's hand and ran to Grandpa.

Rose and Sky arrived at the door one by one, and Grandfather looked at Sky up and down.

Sky greeted him and said first, "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still so energetic."

"Are you..." Grandfather looked at him carefully, thinking.

"I'm Sky. I came to you with Rose nine years ago during the summer vacation. Do you remember?" Sky wanted to remind Grandpa of the past.

Grandfather suddenly recalled that. "I remember that summer you came with Rose. At that time, her grandmother was still alive. She loved to eat fried luffa, and she cooked it for you every day."

His eyes darkened at the mention of grandma.

"Yeah, Grandma is now..." Sky also found grandpa was lost, and there was a bad feeling in the heart.

"She was dead for three years." Grandpa signed, caressing Doris's hair, "She didn't have the luck to Rose and you get married and have a kid." he said.

Rose's face fell, "Grandpa, he and I are not what you think we are."

"Grandpa, my mother and Uncle didn't get married and they didn't have kids." Doris also corrected Grandpa's statements.

A trace of shock flashed by Grandfather's eyes, and looked at Rose and Sky. "You... You're not married? Doris is not your child either?"

Although Rose, aged 16, and Sky, aged 18, didn't confirm their relationship at that time, they had secretly fallen in love with each other. Moreover, the elders could see that their relationship was very intimate, which was beyond the ordinary childhood friendship, and they were more like lovers.

Grandfather naturally could see through their mind. He thought they would get married and gave birth to a child and then lived a happy life. But he didn't expect that things turned out like this.

"Grandpa, of course I am not my Uncle's child. My father is Bright." Doris looked smug and proud when spoke of her father.

Grandpa was disappointed again. The exciting light in his eyes had dimmed. Looking at Rose and Sky, he shook his head helplessly.

Rose's face showed no expression, while Sky's eyes fell on Rose's face, and then withdrew his gaze in two seconds.

"What did you call him?" Grandpa asked Doris, pointing to Sky.

"I call him Uncle." repeated Doris.

"What's going on? Grandpa felt a little confused.

"His wife is my mother's younger sister, who is also your granddaughter, so Uncle is your grandson-in- law." Doris smiled brightly.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Sky was ashamed.

"You haven't done me anything wrong. This is between you guys. I'm too old to worry about it." My grandfather took Doris by the hand, looking sulky. "Doris, let's go in."

Grandfather took Doris into the house, while Rose and Sky were still standing by the door.

When Rose saw her grandfather taking Doris away, she said, "What are you going to ask me?"

"I'm sorry, Rose." Sky looked at her clear eyes, and apologized sincerely.

"What do you mean?" Rose wondered why he had suddenly come here to apologize.

"I know all about it." Sky's throat stiffened, each word poked himself very painful, "I have known the truth five years ago. You gave birth to Doris and saved me with umbilical cord blood, but I was misled by Sophie and misunderstood you, hurt you, betrayed you... I'm sorry, Rose."

"I know it is too late, but it's better than never. Rose, I am such a fool to know, until recently, that you sacrificed so much for me... Rose, will you forgive me?"

Listening to what Sky said, Rose was petrified to the spot.

She didn't want to let Sky know the truth, nor did she need his apology. But how did he know that?

Sophie couldn't have told him. She wouldn't have pushed herself into the abyss, so who would it be?

"I'm not the one who saved you." Rose denied it. She just wanted to say goodbye to what happened five years ago and did not want to remember it again.

"Rose, you can't fool me." Sky took down the backpack, took out a file bag from inside and handed it to her, "It's very clear here. The umbilical cord blood was what you gave Sophie to save me!"

Rose did not take the file. She knew she couldn't escape it. "Well, what if I saved you? I don't need you to thank me."
