With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 55

When Rose came out of the Xavier's company, she found that the time was still early. Thinking of that these days she was too busy with her and Burke, she didn't have time to care about Tina's current situation. Therefore, she took out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed the number of Tina, wanting to ask her out for lunch with her.

After a long beep, the phone was picked up.

"Hello? Rose." Tina's voice from the phone sounded calm. Although it was not as bright as before, it should not be a big deal with her. Rose was relieved.

"Hey, Tina, are you okay? Do you have time for lunch?" Rose asked.

"Yes, I'll go to the hospital this afternoon. Can you accompany me?" Tina agreed straightforwardly.

"How about Japanese food? I heard that there's a newly opened Japanese restaurant at Yunshang Road. The boss is a Japanese. Shall we have a try?" Rose couldn't hold her excitement and proposed to Tina. At the thought that her father's case finally came to light, she was in a good mood and her appetite also improved.

"Okay. Yunshang Road, right? I'll be there soon. See you later." Tina then hung up the phone quickly.

Rose put her cell phone back to her bag, walked to the side of the road and called a taxi.

"Sir, let's go to the new Japanese restaurant at Yunshang Road." Rose said to the driver as she closed the door.

"Yunshang Road? Here we go!" As soon as the driver received the destination, he stepped on the accelerator and drove off.

The car went on the road.

"You seem to be in a good mood, Miss." The taxi driver was a middle-aged man in his early fifties. He seemed to be a good talker. Seeing the excited expression on Rose's face, he decided to chat with her.

"Yes." Rose squinted her eyes and smiled.

When the car turned a corner and came to a busy street, a variety of small stores and restaurants filled the two sides of the street. On the non mobile lane, the groups of people who enjoyed travelling in groups were very lively.

The street was very crowded with so many cars and pedestrians that they could only slowly move forward in the middle of the street. Looking at the bustling street view outside the car window, Rose suddenly saw a construction spot in the middle of which she had finished and now stood in the middle of all the fancy stores on both sides, attracting much attention.

The construction site was obviously abandoned for a long time. On top of a tall high-rise cement building, a red 'welcome' sign was blew out, losing its light red color and flowing with the wind lonely.

Rose felt relieved and the smile on her face faded gradually and was replaced by layers of haze.

There was a traffic jam and the car just could not move.

When the driver saw that Rose didn't say a word, he caught a glimpse of her from the rearview mirror in the car. He noticed that Rose was looking at the deserted construction site in front of him. He thought it was a coincidence that such a construction site appeared on the bustling commercial street for many years, so he explained to Rose, "This construction site was planned to build the biggest shopping mall in the city, but it was half finished. The boss was arrested by the government, but the project was delayed. It is said that it has been solved yet. What a pity that this is such a good place!" The driver said regretfully. Seeing that the car in front of him did not move at all, he rolled down the window. Then he took a cigarette out of his pocket in his chest and lit it.
