Chapter 286 No One Will Be Waiting for You like A Fool
Grandpa had mixed feelings that he survived and lived such a happy life, but his wife had left him and could not enjoy the happiness of the family.
"Grandpa, Rose and I will come to visit you every year and keep you company. Let me toast." Bright raised his glass again and emptied it in one gulp.
"Dad, and me." Doris was angry at being forgotten by Bright.
Bright felt sorry and caressed Doris's head, "I'm sorry. Of course you have to be with us."
"You only have Mom in your eye. I am nobody. Dad, you are biased." Doris saw through Bright, "You love Mom more than me."
"Doris, don't talk nonsense." Rose warned Doris with reproachful gaze not to go too far, but her face still flushed with shyness.
Sky was here, and it was inappropriate for kids to say this.
"You are wronging me. I love mother but I love you more." Bright looked up at Rose, whose skin was slightly red and very pretty. "If you don't believe me, ask Mom."
Rose stared at Bright, who was still making troubles, but that look was more like coquetry in the eyes of both Bright and Sky.
Seeing that the family of three was so lovely and sweet, Sky felt his heart painful, which made him almost unbearable.
He could only squeeze hard his knee with both hands under the table, so as to let the physical pain shared the pain in his heart.
He kept fantasizing that if his faith in Rose five years ago had been strong enough, if he had not listened to Sophie, he would have lived a happy life with Rose, and they would have a daughter as lovely as Doris. And then they would have come to see her grandfather every year, and they would have been happy for ever.
But the reality was that Rose was in love with another man. He was just a passer-by, and he felt himself excluded from their world.
He could only look at them talking and laughing, and he could only bear his regret alone.
Sky's heart felt extremely painful. He carried the wine and finished it in one gulp.
As the wine went through his throat, he felt a burning sensation in his throat, but it still couldn't match the pain of his heart.
How he wished the drink would make him drunk, but his mind became clearer and he heard Doris's childish voice.
"Is that so, Mom? Doris did ask Rose.
"How could I know what's on your Dad's mind?" Rose put the food into Doris's bowl. "Eat your dinner and stop talking."
"Mom, are you trying to stop me from talking by stuffing food in my mouth?" Doris asked.
"No speaking when you are eating; no talking when you are sleeping. Haven't you known it?" Rose urged Doris, "Eat quickly."
Bright touched the glass and said to Rose, "Sky has finished his drink. Fill it up for him."
"You'd better cut down on the wine." Rose answered him.
"Are you not confident of my drinking capacity?" Bright smiled, "I'll do it myself. I'm finished anyway."
"I'll do it." Sky actually volunteered to refill the wine.
"Sky, take that glass bottle to get the wine, so you don't need to run around like this." Grandpa said.
Sky then took the glass container to take the wine as Grandpa told him. He first filled it for Grandpa, then for Bright, and finally himself.
Rose felt headache when she saw the three of them drinking so much wine. They had already drunk a couple of drinks before they even had a bite.
Rose picked up the soup bowl and handed it to Grandpa, "Grandpa, drinking before eating is bad for your health. You'd better have some soup and dishes before you drink."
"Don't drink too much. No one could take care of you when you are drunk." Rose reminded Bright and Sky.
Bright leaned over a little. "You're my wife. You will care about me."
Rose didn't want to talk to him and had dinner. "I'll take care of Doris, and you take care of yourself."
"It's all right for Sky to take care of himself, but it is not right that you don't take care of me." Bright looked at Grandpa and put a piece of ribs in his bowl. "Grandpa, don't you think so?"
"Bright, don't worry. Rose will take care of you. You came here for the first time, and of course she will take good care of you." Grandpa said to Bright.
Rose dissatisfied, "Grandpa, you are my own grandfather. Why are you standing by him?"
"He's my grandson-in-law, not a stranger." Grandpa picked up the ribs and put them into his mouth. He ate them happily.
"Grandpa, he bought you off with a rib." Rose stood up and gave her grandfather several pieces. "I will give you a few more pieces, alright?"
"Great." Grandpa was happy. He had never been so happy before.
Sky, like an outsider, looked at them laughing and talking, while he drank alone, feeling very lonely.
Sky was not a good drinker. He didn't know how much he had drunk. Now he felt a burning sensation in the stomach.
He jumped to his feet, pushed aside the stool, and hurried out of the main room.
It was dark outside. When he ran out, it was barely visible.
"What's the matter with my Uncle?" Doris looked at her parents and Grandpa.
"Rose, go to see what's wrong with Sky." Grandpa said. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Rose was also a little worried. Sky was much weaker after a serious illness. She was afraid that after he drank so much, it would do harm to his health.
But as Rose was about to get up, Bright stopped her and said, "I will go and see it. It's more convenient for men to deal with this. Stay here with Doris and Grandpa."
"Bright." Rose called to him.
"Don't worry." Bright got up and left.
He went out of the main room, went to the courtyard, and saw a faint yellow light in the corner of the room.
He went right to the corner, where the bathroom was, and Sky bent over, vomiting. Then there was the sound of a flush.
"Are you all right?" Bright looked at his thin figure.
Sky unscrewed the faucet in the bathroom, picked up water and poured it on his face. He stood up straight and wiped the water stains on his mouth with his hands. "Thank you, Mr. Lee, for your concern."
"If you can't bear it, why do you drink so much?" Bright's stern face was softened by the warm light, but her eyes were clear and sharp. "Five years ago, there was a silly girl who sacrificed her innocence to save your life by giving birth to a child for you. Five years later, no one is waiting for you in the same place. Take good care of yourself, Sky."
