Come on Daddy!

Chapter 281 Stop Bothering Me Again

Rose felt calm without any mood swings. It seemed as if she had had nothing to do with it. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

And even the pain vanished that she was betrayed and hurt after she decided to sell herself and tried all her efforts to save Sky's life five years ago.

"Rose...I know I did something hurtful to you and I failed to understand your efforts and to trust you absolutely. I was deceived by Sophie. I'm a fool..."

"Rose, I know I'm not the one who deserves your forgiveness, as neither do I forgive myself. But I still want to say that at the moment when I know the truth, I've already made my decision to do everything to make up my mistakes and your sacrifice as well."

"Rose, I still want to insist on it even if you may refuse..."

Staring at Rose's detached face, Sky was feeling a grab on his heart, and such piercing pain gave him no way to breathe. He said, "Rose, please give me a chance to atone for my wrong deeds. I just want a chance and comfort myself."

"Mr. Tanner, just let it go. I don't care it anymore, so I think this chance is unnecessary. And you shouldn't stay here. You'd better go back." It was beyond Rose' expectation that Sky would come from afar to explain to her.

"I won't." Sky suddenly became as self-willed as a kid, "I won't leave without your agreement."

"Mr. Tanner, it was of my own will to save your life and no one forced me to do that. And it's because I had so much confidence in other people that I received nothing but Sophie's betrayal and this was none of your business. As I said, just let it go. I don't care anything about it anymore, so you don't have to worry about it either. Our relationship was cut long ago." Rose always kept a distance with the man.

Sky still persistently strove to get close to her. Rose's emotionless words stabbed into his heart like a knife. Was there really no chance for them to get back together?

"But after I know the truth, those memories of our past keep lingering on my mind."

"If you can't really get these things out of your mind, then you can just consider me as the kind of woman who you think I should be, and those who will leave you alone when you in lethal danger. Perhaps it may make you feel much more relieved." Rose would rather make herself bad than get entangled in the past with him.

It made no sense for them to think about what happened five years ago. The time had passed and everything had changed. Nothing could be discussed.

"Rose..." Sky was so surprised, "You'd rather choose to continue my hatred to you than give me a chance to make up for you? You really hate me that much?"

"I don't hate you." Rose told him the truth in sincerity, "Actually I did feel resentful, unresigned and heartbroken at the very beginning...but it's been five years since then and everything has gone. And you can see as well that I have a happy and satisfactory family and I am now living in such a happy life that I can't spare any time to think about those things."

"Rose, it's I that ruined our happiness." Sky was eaten up by regrets and said, "We should have had a happy life if Sophie had not dug a pit for us."

"There is no 'if', so stop being persistent, Mr. Tanner. Just live our own happy lives." Rose persuaded.

"There is no chance for me and Sophie getting back together after I know the truth that she deliberately intrigued you and schemed against me five years ago...she made me lose my lover...how can I lead a happy life with her? She owes me my happiness!" Sky became a little bit emotional and completely showed his hatred to Sophie.

"She got me into such mess and I will never ever forgive her! So I will divorce her once the right time comes! I will absolutely get this shameless and vicious woman out of being my wife!"

Sky gnashed his teeth in hatred when mentioning Sophie.

Rose just dropped her eyes, showing her long and brush-like eyelashes, "I can understand what you're feeling at this moment, but time is the best cure. As time passes by, you will realize that all love and hate will turn out to be nothing important. On the other hand, these are your matters. You don't have to tell me and I don't want to know either."

Sky fixed his eyes on her and frowned, wondering that Rose had grown up and become more mature and rational. She was no longer the little girl who could see nothing but him anymore and her peace and emotionlessness was a clear proof of her getting away from him...Even if they are standing face to face now, he still couldn't feel the little girl once he had been with.

Feeling heartbroken and sad, Sky desired to capture the girl who was fading away, but he could do nothing but indulge himself in overwhelming frustration and sadness.

"Rose..." Sky sounded tremblingly with redness appearing on the rim of his eyes.

His bitter look reminded Rose of the time when he had been hospitalized and she would rush to the hospital to visit him as long as she was available.

And he would hold her hands tightly and asked her, "Rose, I'm getting sick like this now. Would you leave me alone?"

"No, never." Rose answered in a smile.

"Am I too selfish? If I die, you can choose to leave me." Sky was in his dismay at that moment.

"You won't. Sky, trust me. I will save your life." Rose promised to him and held his hands as hard as she could and said, "You will be fine and you promise to marry me, so keep your words, or I'll never forgive you."

"I love you, Rose." Sky's eyes were brimming with tears.

Rose held his hand up and asked him, "Sky Tanner, wilt thou have this woman Rose Linder to be thy wedded wife and marry her? Wilt thou love her, take care of her, respect her, accept her and be faithful to her for better for worse, for richer for poorer, or for any others so long as you both shall live?"

Sky looked at Rose who was also gazing at him with warmth and great expectation, and answered, "Yes, I will."

And then he asked, "Rose Linder, wilt thou to have this man Sky Tanner to be thy wedded husband and marry him? Wilt thou love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him and be faithful to him for better for worse, for richer for poorer, or for any others so long as you both shall live?"

"Yes, I will." Rose's eyes were glistening in tears at the moment of her answer.

They didn't break up for diseases or life and death which, on the contrary, made them approach closer to each other. Ironically, they did because of lack of trust.

Rose trusted too much in her sister and Sky didn't give Rose the slightest trust.

They were too young to have a happy ending and both of them were victims.

And they once had been in love with each other and broken up with grace and dignity, and that's what the relationship that had gone all about.

"Mr. Tanner, do you really want to make anything up for me?" Rose asked.

"As long as in my power, I will do it. No matter what will be waiting for me ahead, even if it will be at the cost of my life."

"Fine. If this is what you want, then live your own life and stop bothering me again."
