With You For the Rest of My Life

Chapter 16 Threat

In the old house of Gu Family.

When Rose got off the car, she still felt unreal. It had only been one month, but she felt that it had been too long.

Those unpleasant memories during last family feast were still vivid in her mind: Burke, Amanda, the fight, her kid and the miscarriage...

Rose steadied herself and entered the house.

She didn't want to come here again as it would easily make her sad.

However, no matter how reluctant she was, she had to face it sooner or later.

In the garden, Grandma was cutting the branches and leaves.

"Grandma, lady Rose is here." The housekeeper whispered in the old lady's ear.

"Rosy you came. My good girl. Let me have a look. " The old lady then put down the scissors. She was overjoyed to see Rose.

"Grandma." Rose smiled gently and gave a gift to the housekeeper, letting the grandma lead her into the hall.

"Where's Burke?" Why isn't he here? " The grandma looked at the back of Rose and frowned.

"Oh, Burke is on a business trip recently. He's been very busy in the company. He asked me to say hello to you on his behalf,"

"Rosy, it must have been hard to you." Grandma held Rose's hand and said.

She had heard of the Gu Group before. But she resigned from the company after all. She believed that Burke would take good care of the company.

"It's okay, grandma."

Rose sat on the sofa and put aside her handbag to pour tea for her.

Grandma loved drinking jasmine tea. The first branch of the year tasted fragrant and was good to decrease internal heat.

"Good girl, thanks for visiting me. It's so kind of you." Grandma held her slender hand and said, "You are so thin. I've asked Sophie to look after you. Is she inconsiderate?"

"No, she's doing a great job." Said Rose.

It was her anxiety that was difficult to get rid of after her own child was dead. She was still weak.

"Rosy, tell me. How is your relationship with Burke these days?" Mrs. Gu asked tentatively.

Rose paused and answered, "It's all good."

She didn't want grandma to know about her conflict with Burke. But what would happen if she knew? If grandma asked about it, Burke would say that she pressed him with the old lady again, and Rose didn't want to make her worry. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Rosy, tell me the truth." Grandma looked at Rose seriously and said earnestly.

After all, she was the old lady of the Gu Family. She had seen too many things, so Rose couldn't hide her thoughts from her.

"Grandma..." Rose faltered, avoiding the old woman's eyes.

"Rosy, are you still blaming Burke for the kid?" Speaking of the unborn child, grandma couldn't help crying even though it had been a long time. "Yes, Burke was wrong. I apologize to you on his behalf. The baby was gone, and grandma was also very sad. Every day when I closed my eyes, I felt as if my grandson or granddaughter were smiling at me, but when I turned around, they were gone. "

"Grandma, you don't have to apologize." Rose frowned, feeling a bit sad.

"Rosy, grandma has helped you deal with that woman. I will ask her to stay away from you and Burke. Don't worry. You will always be the only daughter-in-law in Gu Family."

"Grandma, me and Burke, we..."

"Rosy. I have watched him grow up. He is a child with conscience and love. I believe that he just hasn't realized your kindness yet. He will know how kind you are one day, kid."

Rose fell into silence. She had been waiting for him for twelve years, and she had no energy to wait any more.

"I haven't been in good health recently, and I'm planning to go to the manor of the Gu Family for a vacation. Rosy, won't you go with me? Then you can accompany me. Just have a rest with me, okay?" Grandma suggested.

Burke would be back in a few days. So, it might be a good idea to have a walk with grandma At least, she didn't have to live in the same house with him every day.

Rose thought for a while and agreed.

The grandma was very happy. She loved Rose very much in the first place. Because of her son, she felt somewhat guilty and pitiful to her and she just wanted to try her best to make up for her.

"Lin, inform the housekeeper to get ready at the manor. And prepared all the necessary things!"

"Of course." Lin did as the grandma said.

Only Rose and the grandma would attend the family feast this month in Gu Family.

"Your mother-in-law has something urgent to deal with outside, so I may come home a little late. Rosy, let's eat first," After that, grandma told the cook to serve the food.

Grandma occasionally talked about family affairs with Rosy, and they had their lunch quietly and warmly.

Suddenly, Rose's phone buzzed in her bag. It was a strange number. She answered it and frowned in surprise.

It was a familiar voice. It was Amanda's voice.

"Rose, did your mom ever teach you not to face the reality like a coward hiding in its shell?"

Rose turned her phone to recording mode immediately, gave an apologetic look at the grandma and got up and went out of the restaurant.

"My mom has passed away, and she has never taught me. Do you want to ask her over there?" Rose retorted.

"Well done! Why are you so eloquent now? You were not like this at the Gu's. "

"Amanda Zhao, I don't have time to waste with you." Rose said impatiently.

"Well, I don't have time to waste with you either. I had kindly asked you out to the coffee shop today and have a talk, but you seem to refuse me."

"Kindly?" Rose sneered. How ridiculous it was for a woman who had entangled with her husband and killed her own child.

"Rose Lin, I advise you not to do those stupid things behind me. Ask them to let my mother go. Then I won't tell this to Burke. Otherwise, if he knows, he will definitely divorce you. " Amanda threatened in a low voice.
