With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 37

"Have you seen enough? I don't mind you looking at me a little longer. " There was a hint of banter in his tone. It was obvious that Burke had noticed that there was a woman standing at the corner of the stairs, who was staring at him blankly. He was quite satisfied with her reaction, smiling slightly.

"You..." Being caught red handed, Rose was ashamed and annoyed. She glanced at him, then immediately looked away and went downstairs.

Seeing this, Burke stepped forward and stopped in front of the stairs. He stood in front of Rose who was walking towards him gracefully. He reached out his hand and gave her a gesture of invitation, indicating her to hand his hand to him.

But Rose ignored it, bypassed Burke, and made a quick dodge to the door.

Her deliberate act of avoiding contact with him caused his heart to sink. His bright eyes darkened.

She was rejecting his passion.

Looking at the receding figure of Rose, Burke paused and followed her.

In front of the villa, a luxury commercial vehicle had been stopped steadily, waiting for the owner.

"Mr. Burke, Mrs. Rose." The waiter waiting outside saw that the they walked out one after another. He walked quickly to the front of the car, opened the door, and put his hand over the roof of the car. Then Rose got into the car.

Burke walked to the other side of the car, opened the door and sat next to Rose. A waiter closed the door of the side of the car gently to indicate the driver to leave.

The car moved on along the shady road. Both of them were silent.

Even the driver could notice the change of the atmosphere. He couldn't help observing the expressions on their faces secretly through rear view mirror.

Burke leaned back on the seat, slightly bended his head and closed his eyes, as if he was recuperating. There was no emotion on his usual calm face.

On the other side, Rose looked out of the window, absent-minded and immersed in her own thoughts. There was a slight sadness between her eyebrows, which seemed that she was preoccupied with something and was not happy.

Driver was experienced, who was nearly forty years old. In his business, he had seen all kinds of people, including many newly married couples. All of them were glued to each other and wanted to be together all the time. The couple in the car looked like a perfect couple. But their estrangement made people feel that they were not a couple at all. There seemed to be a bizarre atmosphere between them. Was that the case for the wealthy couples?

'Well, it's hard to understand what the rich did.' The driver thought. He collected himself and continued driving intently.

"Have you learned horsemanship before?" Burke opened his mouth first with his eyes closed, keeping the posture of refreshing.

Rose turned around to take a look at him, and then turned around again.

"Daddy took me to learn it once when I was a kid. But I can't remember it after so many years." But why all the memories related to him twelve years ago were so unforgettable.

"It's okay. Let me teach you." He was still emotionless.

Then he sank into silence again, not saying anything on the way.

It won't be long bfore the car stopped steadily in front of a gate. Through the railings on both sides of the gate, they could see the boundless meadow inside. The vast land brightened up their mood in an instant.

"Mr. Gu, here we are." The driver reminded.

"Yes." He slowly opened his sleepy eyes and turned to look at her.

"Get off the car now,"
