Chapter 287 He Was Unwilling to Let Go
Sky's pale face became even paler after hearing what Bright said.
He stared at Bright, not avoiding his sharp gaze.
He sounded like he knew all about what happened five years ago.
Rose wanted to have Bright's child to save him.
He knew it, but it was too late. He was full of guilt and regret for Rose.
But Rose did not give him a chance to make up for it, so he felt uneasy.
"It is true that no one will wait where they are, but I will try my best to catch up with her." Sky made no secret of his thoughts on Rose in front of Bright.
"You'll never catch up, bro." Bright smiled, "She married me."
"Then what? If she's not happy, I won't leave her alone." Sky asked him, "Are you the one who can give her happiness?"
"If I can't, can you?" Bright said lightly, "Five years ago, you hurt her and abandoned her. Now you are shouting in front of me that you won't leave her alone? When she was forced out of City H and went to City Y with a baby, where were you?"
"You might be in love with Mrs. Tanner and hate her, didn't you? What's the point of saying this to me now? Remember that you gave up her first. The moment you gave up her, you will never be eligible to have her again. Besides, as she is my wife, you have no right to her at all."
"Sky, I advise you to go back and live a good life with your Mrs. Tanner. Rose can only be Mrs. Lee in this life. You had better let her go."
Sky's face turned red when Bright scolded him, "Yes, I did hurt her, but now it's not too late for me to know the truth. No matter she is Rose or Mrs. Lee, I will be grateful to her. Even if you are Bright, you can't stop my determination."
"Even if it costs the Tanner Group?" Bright said coldly.
"I have to deal with this alone. You don't have to threaten me with the Tanner Group. They have nothing to do with this business. Whatever you do, just target at me." Sky was proud and unyielding.
"It's no fun to target at you alone. And who says it has nothing to do with the Tanner Group?" Bright sneered, "This has something to do with everyone in the Lee family. You went away because you think she's going to damage the reputation and image of the Lee family and the Tanner Group!"
Sky was speechless by his rebuke. Although he had the heart to make up for the fault, the damage had been caused forever.
"I just want to make it up to her." He looked sad.
"She's my wife. I will treat her well. I don't need Mr. Tanner to worry about her anymore." Bright said, "She never wanted you to repay her for saving your life. The best way to make up for it is to stop bothering her. Remember that."
Bright finished and turned to leave. Sky stared at Bright's back and couldn't help wondering why he and Rose had said the same thing.
But he didn't want to take it. Besides, he heard Rose mention divorce when Bright just came here.
If their marriage had been as happy and loving as it looked like, why would Rose have talked about the divorce.
He didn't care who wanted a divorce. What he cared about was if Rose was happy. If she divorced, he would pursue her again regardless of everything.
"It's not up to you to decide." Sky shouted at his back way.
"She'll say the same if you ask her." Bright did not look back.
"No, you don't understand Rose. What does it mean for her to be able to do this for me? Don't you understand? She valued my life above her own, or she would not make this sacrifice. And in the hospital, she and I had promised to be with each other for life. As soon as I get well, we would get married. I won't forget it, and neither will she." Sky mentioned how deeply they loved each other.
"I don't know why Rose married you, and I don't want to know, but I know it wasn't for love. Now I just want to make up for what we have missed."
Bright's face finally darkened and his eyes looked cold.
Not out of love? Maybe.
Before that, he had really wanted to let go of her, and gave her freedom and happiness, thinking that he would be fine if she could live a good life.
But then he reviewed the marriage and decided that even if she didn't love him, he didn't want to let go of her.
He wanted to give Doris a complete home, and he wanted to trade his sincerity for her love.
He believed that he could do it, and that he could give her happiness.
"Mr. Tanner, you seem to forget that you are still married, and Rose is married. Your wife is her sister. How can you say such things without any sense of shame?" Bright suddenly looked down on Sky. "I
don't think you deserve to stand with her anymore, let alone give her happiness."
"The minute I knew the truth, my marriage to Sophie was dead. She's pregnant now and I can't divorce her. But when the time came, I will be free. And I don't think Rose wants to be tied to a loveless marriage." Sky was expecting, "I think God will take pity on me and her and give us a chance."
"Mr. Tanner, you're thinking too much." Bright took him back to reality. "Rose and I are going to be together for the rest of our lives. You can prepare to be alone. Don't forget that marriage requires commitment and loyalty besides love. Moreover, Rose's character did not allow her to do something against her morality and conscience."
"And the important thing is that we have a child. So, it's not me that binds her to the marriage, it's the child, the duty, and the loyalty. Do you have these?" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"A marriage without love is immoral." Sky contradicted Bright, thinking that he was in the way and didn't want to let go of Rose. "Doris is only five years old, and children at this age usually follow their mothers. I can treat Doris as my own child just like you, to give her a father's love and accompany her to grow up. If you can do it, so can I."
"Well..." Bright chortled, "If that time comes, do you think I'll give the baby to you?"
"Why not? Doris is Rose's biological daughter! Why do you have to keep her your side? It's not a gentleman of you to threaten Rose with a child!" Sky was angry.
"I never think I am a gentleman, but I won't let go of anyone or anything that belongs to me!" Bright's eyes were sharp, "Doris is Rose's own daughter, but she's also my own daughter! Would I give my child to another man to raise for me? It's ridiculous!"
