With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 20

They were driving very fast from the Yang's house to the reservoir. Rose had breakfast at the old house and left her coat there, thinking of fetch it next time. However, it was windy in the afternoon. When she got out of the car, she couldn't help but shudder.

Xavier took off his coat and put it on Rose.

"Thank you." Rose did not refuse. At this time, she was too exhausted to think about other ways.

The reservoir is located in the desolate suburb. Before, it was a plastic factory. Later the government made the factory moved away gradually. The left warehouses were most deserted.

It was extremely muddy and bumpy. As for Rose's high-heeled shoes, she must take great care to avoid falling down.

"You wait outside. If we don't come out in thirty minutes, call the police." Xavier bent over the lowered window and told the driver to guard in the car.

"Okay." Liu nodded without asking too much. In this job, there principle is to do more and talk less.

"Let's go. I go ahead and you follow behind me. " Xavier said to Rose, but found that her sight was fixed on a black car beside the gate of the mechanical warehouse.

"What's up, Rose?" Xavier looked strangely along her sight and suddenly had an epiphany.

It was Burke's car.

Was he back? He was supposed to be on a business trip and would be back tomorrow afternoon, wasn't he? Rose smiled sadly. As expected, for his 'Amy', he could do everything.

The most regretful thing Rose had done so far was probably marrying Burke.

Marrying a man who didn't love her at all was a pathetic thing.

The rusty iron door was pulled open by Xavier. Rose followed him in. When he looked up and saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned in an instant.

In the huge deserted mechanical warehouse, Amanda's hair was put all over her head. Her face was covered with tears. She put her head on Burke's shoulder. It was obvious that the man just got off the plane. He was still wearing the suit that he often wore at work. Hugging the woman in his arms, he patted the back of the woman and consoled her in a soft voice.

Rose had never seen this kind of softness on his face.

The romantic and touching atmosphere was broken by her coming. She was to blame. Clenching her fist, Leona smiled with self-mockery.

A flash of surprise flashed through Burke's eyes when he saw Xavier, but soon calmed down.

"Xavier, why are you here?"

"If I didn't come here, do you want me to watch Rose be bullied by you?" Xavier didn't get angry but laughed.

He had never spoken to Burke in such a tone. Now he was extremely angry.

"Burke, I have always regarded you as my big brother and respect you. I didn't expect you to..." Xavier pointed at Amanda not far away and closed his eyes, unwilling to continue.

"Xavier, you'd better not talk nonsense before you know the truth." Burton stood up and went straight to Rose behind Xavier, standing in front of her.
