The Gu's manor was extraordinarily quiet under the moonlight. Seeing that their master was in a bad mood, the maids deliberately lowered the voice when they were talking, so the whole villa was immersed in the inexplicable heavy atmosphere.
Without saying a word, Burke went upstairs, with his arms around Rose's waist, leaving her struggling in his arms.
Thump! Thump! Thump! The sound of his footsteps was especially loud in the quiet villa.
"I asked you to let me go. Did you hear me? !" Rose struggled and tried to get rid of him, with her hands on his chest.
After taking Rose to the room, Burke gave a kick, and the door slammed shut.
"Rose, why didn't you answer my phone?" Burke put Rose on the bed and looked down at her with burning eyes as if he wanted to see her through.
"You called? When?" Rose's face turned red because of anger. Then she remembered that she had set her cell phone on silent mode to comfort Tina so that she hadn't seen it for a whole day.
She took her phone out of her bag and found there were dozens of missed calls. She took a deep breath and opened the phone. They were almost all from Burke. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing Rose's series actions, Burke believed that she hadn't checked her cell phone for a whole day. In order to be with Austin, she had been so busy that she even hadn't checked the cell phone? A sinister smile emerged on Burke's face.
"Rose Lin, as long as you are still Mrs. Gu, behave yourself and do your part. I will never allow you to destroy the reputation of my family."
'Destroy the reputation?' ?' When Rose heard that Burke regarded her as a disloyal woman in marriage, she thought of herself behaving according to the status of a good wife for him, but now being misunderstood by him like this, she felt as painful as being torn apart, quietly scratching the bed sheet under her.
She raised her head and met Burke's cold eyes. Then she said indifferently, "Since you don't believe me, you can divorce me, and also make room for your love Amanda as soon as possible. This is also your wish." Disdain was written all over her face.
The word divorce was like a sharp knife stabbing into the heart of Burke. How could she be so eager to end this marriage so that she could have a relationship with that Austin? However, he fell in love with her so imperceptibly, which gave him a great frustration. Only Rose could make him lose control and almost go crazy.
Burke lowered his voice and solemnly warned, "If you want to save your father Ray from the prison, you'd better drop the idea of divorce and be a good wife for me."
He was threatening her.
Seeing that Burke was threatening her father, Rose got angry and stared at him.
"Burke, don't go too far!" Rose gnashed her teeth.
"Did I went too far?" Then you should never challenge my bottom line again!" Burke warned.
Biting her lower lip, Rose lowered her head and said nothing.
"There's a charity dinner tomorrow evening. Come with me. I've got your clothes and jewelry ready. I'll pick you up at six o'clock tomorrow night."
Seeing that Rose did not say a word, Burke left the room in big strides, leaving her sitting at the bedside to sob quietly.
Early the next morning, Sophie sent the evening dress and jewelry sent by Burke to Rose's bedroom.
