With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 26

He seemed to be startled by himself. Looking at his hand full of beer, he stood up and took some paper from the tissue box in the car and wiped his hands.

He returned to his old self after being stunned for a while.

"So, are you telling me that you have a contractual relationship with Rose?" Xavier asked slowly.

Burke glanced at him, tacitly approving.

"What, what...... You and my sister-in-law... " Xavier was tongue tied for a while, and his brain was in a mess.

"As I said before, our relationship is far more complicated than you have imagined."

After taking a look at the time on the LED screen and drank the last mouthful of beer, Burke turned to ask Xavier, who was still in shock, "Did you drive here?"

Xavier shook his head.

Burke threw the key to him and said sharply, "You can use my car. I'll ask my driver to drive you back later."

Burke got off the car immediately.

With a bang of the door closing, Xavier trembled all over.

In the ward, the smell of disinfectant fluid filled the air. Lying on the bed, Rose had fallen asleep.

On the little table by the bed, the empty lunch box had been cleaned and put into the plastic bag.

Burke sneaked into the room, closed the window and drew the curtain.

After that, he stood beside the bed in silence and looked at her for a while.

He suddenly realized that over a year since he married her, he had never seen her sleeping.

In the past, she wasn't there when he woke up every morning.

It was undeniable that she had always been a gentle and considerate wife.

She would get up an hour before he got up and prepare breakfast for him every morning. Every night, she would wait for him at home after he came back from work. She would prepare a full bathtub of hot water, adding his favorite fragrance and salt in it.

Even when he was busy until late at night, she would move a small lamp and stay with him, reading quietly.

Being born in a rich family, he had been accustomed to being served by others.

But when she thought about it, before the Lin Family went bankrupt, she was also a girl who lived an extravagant life.

She was even willing to cook for him with her own hands.

He had also proposed to hire a nanny, but she gently refused.

"I can take care of the house. There is no need to hire a nanny. Mr. Gu, no matter how rich the Gu Group is, save your money." She had said that to him in a lovely manner.

Before he met her, there had been several women by his side. They all tried their best to get benefits from him, but it was not like Rose who had tried to save money.

Standing there like that, he looked at her pale face and suddenly had a crash on her.

'Rose...' He said silently in his mind, sighing. He felt distressed, and in the same time, surrendered.

The next day, Rose was discharged from the hospital after recuperation. She went on vacation in the manor in the far suburbs with grandma.

The manor was located in the downtown area of the city, and it took them half an hour to get there. The house was purchased by Gu Family in early times, so everything was well prepared and there was no need for Rose to buy anything else.

"Rosy, why do you look so pale today? Didn't you have a good rest last night?" Grandma looked at Rose worriedly.
