With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 6

The atmosphere in the car was very dull and stiff. Sitting beside Burke, Rose watched the scenery rapidly backing away out of the window with a heavy mind.

Leaning against the seat, Burke closed his eyes for rest.

The driver in the front took occasionally look at them from the rear-view mirror, muttering in his heart, 'it was said that Mr. Gu was the hero who had saved Rose when the great change happened in her family. He timely reached out to save her and hold a grand wedding for her. But privately, Mr. and Mrs. Gu didn't seem to get along well with each other.'

"Where did you go last night?" Finally, Rose could not asking.

He did often stay out all night, but at least he would tell her in advance.

But last night, he didn't.

In fact, she could have guessed where he had been last night. She could smell a strong perfume on him, the same as the one she had smelled last time.

Maybe he went to see his "Amy" again.

And Rose was just his dispensable wife.

There was still a suffocating silence in the car. As she couldn't get his answer, she turned her head to look at him.

He was still at rest with his eyes closed. After a long time, he spoke gently, "There's no need to report to you where I'm going."

"Burke..." Rose took a deep breath and tried her best to control herself, "At least, I am your wife legally. I have the right to... "

"Rose," he interrupted her impatiently, "You know what our relationship is. Just do what Mrs. Gu should do and do not interfere in my business."

Rose felt a sudden pain within.

Sure it was. She should have known that their marriage was only bound by that paper. Once the two-year contract ended, so would their relationship.

In his eyes, she was just a nobody.

But what about the unborn child?

Caressing her abdomen gently, Rose turned back, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes without being noticed.

He wanted her to perform her duty. But the last thing she should do was fall in love with Burke.

The car arrived at the courtyard of the Gu Family. Burke strode to the inner hall first before Rose getting off the car.

Rose picked up her pace behind him.

He had always been like this, never stopping and waiting for her.

And she seemed to have got used to it, chasing after him and looking at his back.

His back was broad and strong, a back that she could rely on.

But, this did not belong to her, nor did it belong to the baby in her belly.

Rose looked down and thought sadly. Accidentally, she bumped into that strong body.

Burke turned around and frowned at her, "Don't you look when you walk?"

Without saying anything, Rose covered her bumped nose.

"This again!" said Burke, scratching his hair, "Do not always be so pitiful or grandma will think that it's me who bullied you."

Just as he finished his words, his grandma came out from the door. She smiled from ear to ear at the sight of them.

"Hey, you brat! Finally willing to see me!"
