With You For the Rest of My Life

Chapter 15 Reminiscence

Tina was Rose's classmates in college. She was hot tempered and careless. Tina was born in an ordinary family. Her parents were primary school teachers who earned a fixed income to support their daughter to go to school. Tina's parents were kind of serious, but they had a daughter like Tina, who was lively and bold.

As the best friend of Rose in her college years, Tina had done a lot of bold things with her together. She always says that life is full of joy. The greatest joy in life is freedom.

Therefore, skipping class became their routine. Once, she brought Rose to Shangri-La a whole week to experience the life and do some sketch together. She did have enough fun there, but when she came back, she was caught by Burke unsurprisingly.

It was not someone else who caught them, but Yang, the new head of department.

The teachers in the school did know about Tina and Rose's business, but considering that they did well in their exams, they chose to turn a blind eye to them.

However, the newly appointed vice Professor Yang did not intend to let them do whatever they wanted.

At that time, he still did not know that the girl in front of him would become his future wife. He wore a cold face and asked them to write a self-criticism letter of eight thousand words. Otherwise, he would ask his parents for punishment.

Clenching her teeth, Tina opened her eyes widely and took Rose's hand to write the letter obediently.

It was when Tina made Yang an enemy.

"He even gave me a fifty-nine on the course he taught!" "He did it on purpose!" Clenching her fist, Tina got every when she thought of it. I studied that course very hard. He must be deliberately retaliated against me! I should leave him sleeping in the study tonight!"

"At that time, you even went to his office and argued with him with your red face. Your quarrel had brought discussions all over the school very. Who would have thought that you would marry him in the future?" Rose added.

She recalled the things happened in her school days, which seemingly just happened yesterday.

"We also thought you would marry Austin at that time. But as soon as you graduated, he went abroad and it didn't take long for you to marry Burke." Tina sighed.

At that time, the fact that Austin had a crush on Rose was known to almost everyone in the University. He was such a famous man and every move of his was conspicuous.

As the daughter in the famous Lin Family, Rose was also the most beautiful girl in the college. Even if Austin had never made a clear statement to her and she had never showed anything to him, they were already recognized as a golden couple in the campus.

"Tina, There is nothing between me and..." Rose covered her forehead with her hand. She had explained this question for many times.

"Stop. I know what you want to say." Tina interrupted Rose and put her index finger on her lips, "My dear Rosy, you have already explained this problem. But whether you love her or not doesn't hinder the public from gossiping."

"Tina!" Rose shouted at her.

"But Burke is not bad. After all, the Gu Group is much better than Wyon Group, where Austin is from. Wyon Group had thrived a few years ago, but it fell after its short thriving. Many of my friends told me that Austan came back to rebuild Wyon Group. I heard that he's doing considerable reforms and it's going well." Tina pushed her glasses up her nose as if she was an expert in gossip. "Do you remember the pretty Emily Zhang? She is the girl at the same grade as Austin. At last school party, she was so

excited when she heard that Austin was going to return home. Well, it's been so many years, she didn't even have a look from him. She won't give up. "

"I don't know. When did you become an expert in gossip?" Said Rose softly.

She remembered that Emily Zhang had been treating her as an imaginary rival in love and had made many tricks.

However, she did not expect that Emily Zhang hadn't give up on Austin.

"Well, I'm a social person. I love to socialize. Unlike you. Being a good wife who always stays at home. It's actually kind of mysterious." Taking a sip of her coffee, Tina squinted, "Hmm, your cappuccino is the best. In recent years, commercial ads went viral, and flowers were covered with all kinds of meanings. Even this cup of coffee was given a secret message. "

Rose raised her head to show that she was listening carefully.

"The message cappuccino conveys is a secret love towards someone and an expectation. It tasted bittersweet, but remains the same taste. It means that waiting is bitterness in sweetness and to wait for true love with a loyal heart." Tina said slowly.

"Magnificent." Rose listened for a long time and said.

A bittersweet mood?

In the past twelve years, she had been chasing after Burke. She had been looking forward to his love, but now her heart felt like dead water. In the time waiting for him, it seemed there was a lot of bitter and only few sweet.

A text message came in. Rose looked at the strange number on the sender's column and was slightly shocked.

Then she clicked on the message. The content was quite simple, only including a few words.

"I want to have a talk with you at nine o'clock at the café downstairs Sky Community- Amanda Zhao."

Looking at the screen for a long time, Rose put her phone in her pocket without saying anything.

"What's wrong?" Tina asked.

"I'm fine. It's just a crank message." Smiling slightly, Rose took off her sunglasses and rubbed her eyes.

"I hate those harassment text messages the most. Just block the number." Tina said.

"Okay." Rose replied in a low voice.

"Rosy, what's wrong with you recently? Looking ill and listless, and much paler. " "Are you sick?" asked Tina. Worried, she looked into Rose's haggard eyes.

"I'm fine." Rose forced a smile and put on her sunglasses again.

For the sake of Gu family, the news of Rose's miscarriage had been completely blocked. She didn't want to make Tina worried, and she didn't want to tell her about Amanda and Burke either.

According to Tina's character, she would definitely help her.

But she didn't want her best friend to get involved. She had to face it by herself.

"Are you really okay?" Tina was still a little worried.

"I had a great life every day. What can I possibly complain about?" Said Rose, pretending to be relaxed.

"Well, you're right about that." You don't have to work. Unlike me, I have to work for money. " Tina said enviously, "But Rosy, it's a pity that you didn't get a job. You grades were so great when you graduated and many companies wanted to hire you. Given your ability, I think you can do very well on your job."

Hearing that, Rose's eyes lit up. Work? It seemed that she had never thought about it after she married to Burke.

Her family business had gone bankrupt, her father had been in jail and her mother had committed suicide.

She was overwhelmed by the load of these stuff and had no energy to think about her future.

She just wanted to save her father with the help of Burke.

But now, maybe she should do some planning for her own future......

"Tomorrow I won't be able to come to the family feast. I have work to do. Say hello to grandma. I've sent a driver to pick you up." A cold voice came from the telephone.

It's a message left by Burke.

Rose hung up the phone and buried her body in the sofa.

She took out her cell phone to read the message she received today. Seeing the name of Amanda Zhao, Rose lost herself in thought a little bit.

Should she be grateful that Amanda would ask her out for at Burke's business trip, which proved that Burke wasn't with Amanda? NôvelDrama.Org content.

A faint smile appeared on Rose's lips, with bitterness and silent heartbroken.
