"Burke, it's you. Come over here." Burke's grandma had a sharp eye, and she immediately saw Burke standing at the gate, so she raised her hand to ask him to come over.
Hearing the voice, Rose raised her head and found that her eyes just met Burke's, but she didn't know what to do for a moment. She immediately looked away and avoided his eyes.
She still didn't know how to get along with him.
Burke, however, was still calm and composed as he saw her nervous action. He strode to her and sat down beside his grandma.
As soon as he sat down, the usual coldness was gone. A gentle smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face, as if it could make two happy lovers.
"Grandma." He called her name softly, as if coaxing a child.
It was a good idea for his grandma so she grinned from ear to ear. She held the right hand of Rose and closed the left broad palm of Burke. Then she entwined their hands together and clapped slightly.
"Thanks to Rosy, you can recover so quickly. You should take good care of Rosy from now on. If you dare to bully her, I will never let you go! "
"I know, grandma. I won't dare to disobey you." As he spoke, he cast a meaningful look at Rose.
His glance somewhat made Rose nervous. With her slender hand held tightly by Burke's grandma, she crossed her hand with his hands and truly felt the temperature from his palm. She could not help but blush.
She still couldn't get rid of him.
"You little brat, you are a sweet talker!" Burke's grandma reached out her hands, clenched her fists, and knocked gently on Burke's head, as if he was a naughty boy.
Burke was happy to hear this, letting grandma beat him. He even pretended to tilt his body.
Of course, Burke's grandma was amused by them so much that envied others.
"I will be happy if you two get along well!"

When they were talking, the servants had already prepared the lunch and came to invite the them to have lunch.
Rose held grandma's arm to the table, and Burke strode to the front to pull out the chair for grandma. After grandma took her seat, Burke pulled another dining chair and gestured for Rose to sit down.
Surprised by his considerate move, Rose didn't refuse but sat down.
Sitting opposite to Burke, Jacob motioned for the servants to serve the dishes.
In order to express her congratulations to the couple, grandma specially invited the chef from the famous Michelin starred restaurant in China to cook the lunch at the home. Grandma had learned from Rose's friend Tina that Rose liked the dishes of this restaurant all the time. It could be seen that Burke's grandma loved Rose, her granddaughter in law.
As Rose's best friend, Tina often went to the house of Gu family with Rose. Burke's grandma recognized her. In addition, Tina was outgoing and simple, which made Burke's grandma like her very much. Thus, they got familiar with each other over a few times.
As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, they didn't even have the chance to take their chopsticks. Just then, Sue came in with a gust of aroma.
"Mom, Burke, you are having your lunch." As if she didn't see Rose, herring talked to the Burke and Burke's grandma with a smile.
'Rose, you are such a bitch. You must do something to provoke the relationship between me and my son.'.
Even the old lady was coaxed into children's play.
Why do you and your mother are always against me?
At the same time, Sue was sitting in the driver's seat. She couldn't help stepping on the gas pedal as soon as she thought of Rose's face, which was exactly the same as her mother, Lillian. With a bang, the sports car quickly disappeared at the end of the gate of Gu's manor, leaving a string of exhaust gas.

In the dining room of the villa, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing because of the unexpected arrival of Sue. It was Burke's grandma who broke the silence.
"Your mother in law is spoiled and has got used to her bad temper. But she is not bad in her heart. Don't take it to your heart." "Okay, I know, grandma." Rose looked up and smiled at Burke's grandma, indicating that she got it.
As far as she knew, Rose had heard from her mother about Sue's temper. Sue was her college classmate. They had been on good terms at the beginning, but they broke up with each other after they got married. she didn't know the reason.
'Maybe it has something with my mother. Why does Sue hate me so much?'.
'But according to the attitude of Burke to his mother today, is he protecting me?'?
Maybe it was just their own conflict.
Thought Rose.
