Come on Daddy!

Chapter 266 My Dad Is the Best in the World

When Doris was about to answer, Rose said to her, "Honey, put your suitcase in that room."

Rose pointed to the room on the left side of the central room, which used to be her room.

"Okay." Doris took her cartoon panda suitcase to the room on the left of the central room.

Grandpa and Rose watched as Doris' small body pulled her suitcase and found her very cute.

After Doris walked away, Grandpa took Rose and walked a few steps away from the eaves to a place where Doris could not hear. He said, "What's wrong between you and your child's dad?"

"Grandpa, it's nothing." Rose smiled. "It's just that we are not suitable."

"Your child is already this old, yet you now think that you guys aren't suited for each other?" Grandpa asked rhetorically and then added, "Did he let you down?"

"No." Rose shook her head, feeling very bitter. "I let him down. I don't know how to face him because of some things."

"So you took your child to hide in the countryside? You wanted to escape?" Grandpa understood very clearly. "Rose, escaping the problem doesn't solve it. If you want to solve the problem, you must face reality."

"Grandpa, I know, but I am a mess right now. I just want to find a place to calm down. Would you look down on me and despise me?" The only place that Rose could think of was her grandpa's place.

Only this place could make her feel at ease and keep her away from those troubles.

Bright was busy, so he would not bother coming to this place. She just wanted to be apart from him for a while, so both of them could calm down.

"How could grandpa despise you? I'm very happy that you came to see grandpa, but grandpa doesn't want you to treat yourself badly," Grandpa said sincerely. He reached out to pat her on the shoulder. "Grandpa supports any decision you make as long as you feel that it's right and you are happy."

"Thank you, grandpa." Rose reached out and hugged Grandpa again.

"You are my good granddaughter. What are you thanking me for?" Grandpa looked upset when he heard her overly courteous words.

"Grandpa, I'll go put my suitcase away first." Rose trot away with a smile.

Rose put her suitcase in the room. Doris had already opened her suitcase and was searching for something.

"What are you doing?" Rose was puzzled.

"I have something to give to great-grandpa." Doris finally found the picture she drew in the corner of her suitcase after searching. It was all wrinkled.

Rose shook her head helplessly, put her suitcase away, and put her purse down. "I'm going to help grandpa shuck corn. You play by yourself."

"Mom, I'm also going to help great-grandpa." Doris took Rose's hand as they walked out of the room together and went into the central room.

Grandpa was picking up the corn that had just fallen on the ground and putting them into the round sieve.

"Great-grandpa, we're here to help you." Doris approached him happily.

Rose and Doris squatted down and finished picking up the corn with Grandpa. They then carried the corn to a square table in the corner of the yard.

"Grandpa, look at my drawing." Doris showed her drawing as if she was presenting a treasure. "This is a gift from me."

"Thank you." Grandpa touched Doris' head. "Come here and let great-grandpa see what you drew."

Grandpa unfolded the A4 paper. It was a drawing of a man in superhero clothes holding hands with a woman in a white dress and holding a little girl in a pink dress in his arms under a dark blue starry sky.

"Great-grandpa, this is me, this is mom, and this is dad. My dad is amazing. He loves Doris and protects mom and me like a superhero," Doris explained the meaning of the drawing to Grandpa.

"Oh, dad is so amazing..." Grandpa glanced at Rose, who held corn in her hand. "Then Doris has a good dad, right?"

"Of course, my dad is the best dad in the world." Doris's tone was particularly proud. "Great-grandpa, let me tell you. When I was hurt and bled, dad donated 600cc of blood to me..."

"Doris, come and help your great-grandpa shuck corn." Rose picked up corn for her. "It must be shucked before dark, come on."

"What do you shuck the corn for?" Doris asked curiously.

"Corn can be used to feed chickens and ducks." Grandpa pointed to the chickens and ducks on the other side of the bamboo fence and spoke.

Doris nodded. "We humans can eat it too."

"This is dried corn. If you want to eat it, you have to grind it into corn flour." Grandpa cut the hard corn off the cob. "If you want to eat it, there is some corn flour at home."

"I like to eat fresh corn," Doris expressed her thoughts.

"I see," Grandpa laughed.

The three of them shucked corn while talking and laughing together until the sun went down and Grandpa was ready to cook dinner.

Rose helped start a fire. It was the first time that Doris saw a firewood stove, so she was interested and wanted to have a try. But the soot turned her into a little spotted cat.

"Hurry up and take Doris to wash her face and hands. It's time to eat," Grandpa urged Rose.

Rose went to the well in the yard to manually retrieve water, but when she took out her phone, it slipped from her hand and fell into the bucket of water in front of her. It was damaged beyond repair.

Doris picked up her phone from the bucket, and it was dripping with water. Doris looked upset. "Mom, the phone is broken... I can't call dad anymore..."

"It's okay, let's fix it. If we can't fix it, then let's buy another one," Rose comforted Doris. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

In fact, the call just now was from Bright. It seemed that he had already seen the letter she left.

"After we wash our hands, let's eat." Rose took the phone and went to the central room with Doris. The dining table in the central room was already set. Meat and vegetables from the countryside were fresher and more delicious than those from the city.

Bright was in City H and after he called Rose, he only heard a beep before her phone shutdown.

He was very puzzled and called several times, but the response he received from all of them was that her phone was turned off.

He was busy today and did not pick up Doris with Rose. He just got home and heard from the maid that Rose and Doris both did not come back.

He decided to give her a call, but her phone was turned off. He felt uneasy that he could not get in contact with Rose.

He went upstairs, opened the bedroom door, and saw a letter at the bedside when he walked to the bed.

He pulled out the letter from under the lamp. The words on the envelope were indeed written by Rose – "private and confidential – to Bright".

This made him feel uneasy.

He opened the envelope and took out the printed letter. The content of the letter was as follows:

Bright,

Please allow me to say sorry to you first of all.

I feel apologetic towards you for what happened five years ago, but I had no choice. I don't regret what I did, but the only thing that I feel guilty about is that I used you and Doris.
