With You For the Rest of My Life

Chapter 5 Sounding Out

The face before Rose was a good-looking one, with fine features and a perfect outline. It was the face that she had loved for twelve years.

But now, the face in front of her was saying something hurtful to her. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

He said not to lose the face of Gu Family......

It turned out that the worry and tiredness in his eyes were just because he was afraid that she would lose face of Gu Family......

Gu Family had no place for Rose at all.

As Burke looked at Rose, he noticed the pain in her eyes, which shocked him all of a sudden.

Somehow, he seemed to be easier to lose control in front of Rose.

When he came back and couldn't find her last night, he contacted all the people who were involved with her. He called her again and again and even drove alone to the prison on the other end of the suburb. He thought she might have gone there to visit her father.

He looked for her all night. He even pushed back a few things that had been arranged beforehand this morning and waited for her at home.

He was worried, and even fearful.

Fearful of losing her...

Realizing this was not a good thing for Burke.

He shouldn't have fallen in love with her.

"Don't you want to explain something? Rose. " He looked at her, holding back the surging feelings in his heart.

Rose almost closed her eyes, shook off his hand and went to the other side of the sofa and sat down. She was so tired that she didn't have any strength to tangle with him any more as the pain in her back intensified.

"Whatever you think it is. " What should she explain at all? He would listen to her explanation. But before she opened her mouth, he had made a judgment for her, hadn't he?

Irritated by her attitude, Burke picked up the car key on the table.

"Rose, please remember your duty." He said that coldly and was about to go out.

"Burke." She called gently all of a sudden, making him think that all their quarrel was just an illusion.

Rose opened her eyes and looked at his tall figure that stopped at the hallway. She said softly, "Let's have a baby."

She was sounding him out about his attitude towards the child.

Looking at her, Burke asked in a stiff tone, "Why do you suddenly think of this?"

"I...I just want to have a baby all of a sudden. I feel lonely staying alone in this house..." Said Rose, looking at his gloomy face.

"If you feel lonely, go to the old house to accompany the grandma and them more often. You have a lot of things to do there. And I have told you I don't want a baby in the first place. " He said firmly, leaving no room for her to negotiate.

Rose looked at the figure disappearing at the door, which was slammed heavily, leaving the whole room quiet.

He said he didn't want a baby.

Was it just the baby he didn't want, or the baby from her?

Rose closed her eyes and put her hands on her belly.

A wife who was not cared about and a child who was not expected to be born.

Thinking about that, Rose laughed loudly. She had never laughed like this before. She had always been careful in this house.

Her laugh made tears, and her cold laughter gradually turned into sobs, echoing in the empty house, abrupt and sad.

Covering her face, Rose felt extremely sad.

The morning light came through the white gauze curtain. Several blue white hydrangeas in the vases on the nightstand were a little withered because they hadn't been changed water for a long time.

Rose curled up her little body under the thin silk quilt.

She cannot sleep well because the air conditioner was giving too much cold at night.

But the heat was on again if she turned off the air conditioner.

It turned out that it had nothing to do with the temperature, but with the mood.

Rose opened her eyes in a daze and reached out her hand to the other side of the bed. It was empty and cold.

Burke didn't come back last night.

A wry smile appeared on Rose's face. He didn't want to see her at all.

She hadn't seen him since he left yesterday.

She had got used to the cold way they got along with each other.

What was she expecting?

Rose's phone rang and then she picked it up. It was from the Gu Family.

After taking a deep breath to adjust her mood, Rose picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"Rosy, it's me, grandma."

"Grandma." Hearing the familiar and kind voice, a soft smile unconsciously appeared on Rose face. The person treated her best in Gu Family was probably the grandmother of Burke.

Rose knew that the grandma truly loves her.

"Rosy, don't forget today's noon is the family feast of Gu Family. Ask Burke to send you here on time. Grandma haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much."

The name of Burke shocked Rose, unconsciously. But she immediately recovered herself and answered, "Okay, grandma."

"Well, that's it, Rosy. We can talk about it when you are here."

"Okay, see you later, grandma."

After hanging up the phone, Rose stared blankly at her phone.

It was already half past eight.

She hesitated and didn't know if she should call Burke. Her car had been sent to repair, and it was hard to call a taxi in the suburb of a city.

Thinking of this, she received his message.

"I'll pick you up at half past ten. Be there on time. "

Short and concise, it was him.

It was just like what the superior said to his subordinates, simple and decisive.

He had always been treating her like this.

With a sigh, Rose walked barefoot to the dressing table. The woman in the mirror was wearing a white nightdress, her long hair draping down to the shoulder and her face pale and haggard.

It seemed that she needed to dress herself up.

At least do not lose the face of Gu Family.

A wry smile broke across Rose's face, and her heart sank.

Rose had dressed up ahead of the time. She stood outside the villa, waiting for Burke. She knew that he was always punctual and extremely hated those who were not.

It was not long before his car came in as expected.

Today, she wore a water blue off-shoulder chiffon dress and her hair was all tied up, which made her look more energetic.

Looking at her from afar, Burke Gu was touched. She was so beautiful with fair, smooth skin. She was just like a lotus, beautiful and serene.

As the car approached, Burke restrained the surging light in his eyes.

"Come on." He lowered the window and said softly.
