With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 47

As the sun set, the sky darkened.

On the noisy street, Rose, Tina and Austin stood in front of the zebra crossing, waiting for the green light to light up.

It was not convenient for Rose to move with her leg crossed. When the green light was turned on, she could not help but rush to the other side of the road. Someone bumped into Rose's shoulder. When she was about to fall down, Austin quickly reached out to steady her. At the moment when he touched Rose's frail body, his heart began to beat faster, and his hands were unconsciously reluctant to let her go.

As Rose finally managed to keep her balance, she turned to look at Austin with a shy smile. "Thank you." Then she realized that he had put himself in an awkward position.

She moved unnaturally and got rid of the hand gripping her shoulder.

The action of Rose deliberately keeping a distance made Austin's heart sink all of a sudden. He withdrew his hand awkwardly, and the feeling of loss filled up his heart.

Tina, who was used to be careless, was now in the haze of her failure to marriage. She did not notice the awkward atmosphere between Austin and Rose. She came over to support Rose, and the two slowly walked towards the car parked opposite the road.

Austin followed them closely, afraid that Rose would fall down again.

"How did your foot get hurt?" He couldn't help asking.

"I accidentally sprained my ankle on the racetrack. It doesn't matter." Rose thought about what happened on the racecourse and her eyes darkened.

"How could you be so careless? Who did you went there with? He should have taken care of you." Austin asked.

"…With my husband. I was the one that was too careless." Rose hesitated for a while and said awkwardly.

'Husband? Burke?' Since the word 'husband' came out of Rose's mouth sounded a bit harsh, Austin didn't ask any more questions. He released the brake, stepped on the gas slowly, turned the steering wheel and slowly drove out of the parking lot.

After a whole day's tiredness, Rose, who was sitting in the back seat, fell into silence. She gently leaned her head against the window and blankly stared at the scenery outside the window. Tina, who was talkative before, was also preoccupied and silent along the way.

It was not long before the car passed an old block and arrived at the gate of Southern Garden.

"Thank you, Austin. Contact me when you're free." Looking at the rear-view mirror, Austin smiled and nodded to Tina. After saying that, Tina opened the door and directly got out of the car.

With worries written all over her face, Rose reached out to take Tina's hand and said, "Don't think too much about it. Take care of yourself. Even if you need anything for the baby in your belly, just call me."

Rose exhorted.

"I know." Turning around and nodding to Rose, Tina entered the community.

It was at dusk. Looking at Tina's lonely figure disappearing in the night, Rose felt depressed.

The once innocent girl turned gloomy and silent after marriage. At the thought of her entangled marriage with Burke, and her father Ray who was still in prison, a chill slowly sank in Rose's heart. She sighed deeply and closed her eyes.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Austin saw Lin Rose's melancholy look in the rearview mirror. Thinking of the once innocent Rose having such a bad moment, he felt very sad.
