With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 23

His gentle voice spread in the cold night, and once again wetted her eyes.

In his mind, there was an answer about to come out. But he hadn't decided yet.

He lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, her eyelashes with salty and bitter tears, her pink cheeks and finally her lips.

Slowly he licked her dry lips with his tongue, and then he opened her and kissed her more deeply.

Rose's mind had been stirred up. It was like all her thoughts were lost. She had forgotten Amanda and the baby they didn't give birth to. She felt like that he and she were the only ones left in the world.

She was too tired to avoid. She stopped thinking about right or wrong, let go of those hatred and disappointment for the time being and let Burke do anything he wanted.

A sudden burst of embarrassing cough broke the subtle atmosphere between the two.

Hearing this, Burke slightly loosened his grip. Rose suddenly broke away from his arms and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes unnaturally. Her face was a little red, and she didn't know if she was crying or for other reasons.

"What are you doing here?" After tidying up his clothes, Burke raised his head and frowned at the unexpected guest at the door.

Xavier seemed to be confused about what he had just seen. He rubbed his eyes and paused for a while before he realized.

"Well, I... I just came to the hospital to have a look. I thought Rose should have woken up, so I brought her some food. Uh... Am I in a bad time? " Xavier pointed at the midnight snack in his hand and smiled awkwardly as he scratched his head.

Burke cast him a cold glance, making Xavier shiver.

Even if he didn't know how to behave properly, he should have known that he had ruined something.

"Well, I may leave now. You two...continue."

Lying on the bed, Rose covered her face with her hands and tried to hide herself.

Burke was different from other people, he had always been so numb, looking at Rose's amusing behavior.

How could a woman, who had already been pregnant for him, be so shy?

He gently touched his lips just kissed by hers, which was still warm. He had to admit that Rose had the ability to make him out of control.

The self-control he had been proud of collapsed in front of her.

"Well..." Xavier, who had already walked out of the ward, came back and put the night snack box on the table in his hand carefully with an awkward smile. "I have bought the night snack. Rose, you can have some chicken soup, which is good for your health. I'll just leave them there, bye."

"Wait a minute," said Burke as he stopped Xavier who was about to leave. "I'll go downstairs with you. I'm just going to buy something."

"What?" Xavier turned around in a daze. "Don't you stay with her a little longer?"

Ignoring his teasing words, Burke took out the midnight snack brought by Xavier from the table, unpacked it, and took it to the small dining table beside Rose's bed. He said in a low voice, "I'll go to the convenience store next to the hospital to buy something. Do you need anything else?"

Looking at the steaming chicken soup, Rose slobbered at her mouth unconsciously and shook her head.

She was a little hungry.

"Okay. Wait for me, sweetie."

Rose: "......"
