With You For the Rest of My Life

Chapter 30 Shyness

"I am going to make breakfast." Rose just wanted to find an excuse to leave.

Burke seemed dissatisfied. He thought for a while and asked :"will you come back again?"

"Yes, I will." Rose replied with profound resignation.

"Okay". "Remember to come back. " It was until now that Burke finally let her go.

Eventually, Rose got rid of him. After she washing up, she went downstairs and found that Burke's grandmother was sitting in the living room at the first floor and smiling to her.

The grandma was very happy when she heard that her grandson came to the manor and stayed in Rose's room last night. She even gave the servants a month's salary as a reward.

At this time, she saw Rose coming downstairs. She asked with concern, "why do you go downstairs so early?"

The grandma seemed to be teasing her. Rose blushed and answered uncomfortably.

"Grandma, I go jogging." After replying to the grandma for a while, Rose went out for a morning run.

"Your young people are too shy." With a stick in her hand, Burke's grandma looked at Rose's back with a smile, and turned to the housekeeper, "let's go upstairs to see the guy with me!"

When Burke's grandma came into the room, she found that Burke had already woken up.

He didn't realized what happened last night until he woke up. And this morning was real, not in the dream.

It turned out that he really had spent a night with Rose.

"Grandma." Burke greeted his grandma. The usual cold and self-contained look on his face instead of childish look as he was just now.

"Oh, are you willing to come over to see your wife?" Burke's grandma sat on the sofa in the room. When she looked at her grandson, she felt a little distressed. But she still tried to raise her tone, "I thought you had been muddled by some disreputable slut and almost forgot that you have a decent wife here!"

"Grandma, you are right." Said Burke. He still had some respect for his grandmother. Knowing that his grandmother was angry at him, he endured it with neither servile nor overbearing.

The Burke's grandma finally softened her voice when she saw that Burke was so kind to her. "How is Hetian Real Estate Project going?"

"The public relations department has tried their best to suppress the negative news about the Gu Group. Now, the main reason is that the internal plan needs to be reorganized. I am still unwilling to give up this project." The look on Burke's face became serious.

Burke's grandma nodded. "Several senior shareholders of the board of directors have come to see me these days. You can rest assured that with my help that those senior shareholders will still support you. The storm in the board of directors will soon subside, but it can't be messy within the Gu group, Especially you, the president, can't be thrown into confusion."

"Yes." Burke nodded slightly with his brows still knitted.

Burke's grandma stared at her grandson in front of her. He was so young and became the CEO of the Gu Group. It seemed that others were born with the fortune of being reincarnated to be such a rich person, but she knew that only him could be qualified to take over the whole Gu Group.

"It's inevitable to fail. Sometimes, failure is a fortune. It's a piece of cake. Take your time. Don't worry. " Said his grandma.

"Grandma, what do you mean?" Asked Burke.

"What I mean is that you are not in a hurry to solve this matter. Since you have prepared Hetian Real Estate Project for so many years, you are not afraid to wait longer." She used to be a fearless business woman, so she was experienced in such kind of things.

"The Hetian Real Estate Project couldn't be conducted because of insiders. Now you are in a hurry to deal with it, but you fall into their trap. Take it easy. You are in the light, while others are in the dark. Your opponent will give the show away sooner or later. " Burke's grandma continued. She turned to Burke and said with deep thought, "Forget about the Hetian Real Estate Project. It's time to deal with the mess between you and Rose..."

It was almost lunchtime when Rose came back to mansion.

Burke's car was still parked downstairs. Rose's eyes darkened slightly. She deliberately dragged her time to come back late today, because she didn't want to meet him. But she didn't know that he didn't leave.

"Mrs Rosa, you are back. Come and have dinner." Sophie greeted Rose with a smile when she came out from the kitchen and saw Rose.

"Where is grandma?" Rose put down her bag and looked around.

"She went to the Western mansion to have a rest. She said that she didn't want to disturb you young people. " Sophie laughed, covering her mouth with her hand.

Since Rose moved here, Burke's grandma and Rose lived in two separated houses.

Rose nodded and said nothing more.

"Mr. Burke hasn't got up yet. I'll ask him to have lunch." Sophie took off her apron and said, "Mr. Gu came today and I made his favorite plaster crab. He must like it."

For some reason, Rose felt nervous to be with Bruke, her hand clenched.

"Mrs. Rose! Mr. Gu is having a fever! "

Sophie rushed downstairs in a hurry.

Rose froze for a second. She put down her chopsticks and bowl and ran upstairs instinctively.

With a red face, there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He curled up, no trace of his usual high spirited and vigorous spirit.

"Burke! Please! "

As soon as her hand touched Burke's forehead, Rose took back her hand subconsciously.

The man on the bed still closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear anything.

"So hot! Sophie, call the doctor! "

"Okay, I'll do it right now! " © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Sophie hurried to call the doctor.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Rose looked at Burke, who was lying on the bed. She had planned to ask Sophie to call the doctor and leave him alone, but in the end, she still had him in her heart. How could she feel at ease.

Oh, Rose, would you still be so stubborn?

How did he treat you? How did he treat your child? Have you forgot?

Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly.

She was doomed to die this time.

The doctor came soon and checked on her carefully. She had a high fever with 40 degree Celsius.

Doctor brought down the fever for an urgent treatment, left some medicine there, told Rose about some dos and don'ts, then left.

At the same time, Rose was taking care of Burke closely by the side of the bed.
