With You For the Rest of My Life

Chapter 54 Mist

It was an eerie quiet night.

Rose turned around and looked into the eyes of Rose. She asked sincerely, "Is there any hidden truth about my father's case? Do you know something, Burke?"

Nothing was more important than saving her father. For Rose, her father was the only family she could count on.

On hearing this Burke was surprised by Rose's acute insight. Although he did know some details, the relationship between them was complicated.

He couldn't bear to see Rose sink into this mess, so he had to hide it from her.

"I don't know." Burke replied coldly. For a moment, he looked evasive. "Even if there is really something hidden behind, your power can't change anything. You just need to follow the agreement, behave yourself, I will do my best to save your father. As for whether you want to stay or not, I hope you can think it over before you make a decision. "

Without giving Rose a chance to answer, Burke turned off the bedside lamp and went to sleep.

Sitting on the edge of the bed with a pillow in her arms, Rose was in a daze. She knew that with the character of Burke. If he did not want to tell, she could not find any clue from him. Now that Burke had promised to save her father, she had to follow his request temporarily and play a good role as his wife. Then she would try to find out the truth of the case at that time.

At the thought of this, Rose had no choice but to put the pillow back to its original place, and silently lay down beside Burke. She then lifted the quilt and got in.

The warm breath of Burke made her long strained nerves gradually relaxed. She fell asleep, and it was a rare for her recently.

The next morning, as usual, Burke got up early, and finished an hour of exercise in the gym of the villa. After washing up, he went downstairs, only to find that Rose had been busy preparing breakfast for him. Bowls and chopsticks clinked together, making Burke pleasant. The haze left after the quarrel yesterday was swept away in an instant. He loved the feeling of staying at home with Rose.

Seeing that Burke was coming downstairs, Sophie, who was helping him, greeted him happily, "Mr. Gu, here you are. Mrs. Gu got up early this morning. She worked hard in the kitchen for a long time. She didn't allow us to help you with the breakfast she prepared for you." Then she pulled out the dining chair and gestured for Burke to take his seat.

Glancing at the dishes on the table, Burke found all of them were his favorite food. He knew that Rose indeed prepared with all her heart, which made him feel warm in his heart.

Without raising her head, Rose took a spoon of porridge in her hand and filled a bowl of steaming white porridge and handed it to the table where Burke was sitting.

"You should eat while it's hot. It happens to be thick. It's your favorite." Said Rose gently.

Seeing that Rose took good care of him so carefully, Burke thought that she had changed her mind after a night's consideration and given up the idea of divorce. He was very happy in his heart. After a good breakfast, he drove to the Gu Group in a good mood.

Only Rose knew that she had already lost all hope for this marriage. The reason why she tried her best to be Mrs. Gu was to find out the truth of her father's imprisonment as soon as possible, so that she could save her father.

After Burke left, Rose changed her clothes and went to Xavier's company alone. At this moment, the one could help her was only Xavier.

In a suit, Xavier trotted down the steps in front of the majestic government office building. The medal on his chest flashed in the sunshine.

"Rosy, what brings you here?" Xavier said with a smile.

It was the first time for Rose to see Xavier working. Ordinarily he wore casual clothes, jeans and his extraordinarily handsome face, which made people think that he was a student who had just graduated. Today, in his working dress, he showed a bit of capable and firm, not like him in private.

"Fine feathers make fine birds. Our Mr. Yang looks quite sleek in that suit." Rose joked.

Hearing this, Xavier smoothed his hair in embarrassment. "That's enough. I'm just serving the people. Rose, are you here to just make fun of me?" Xavier asked directly. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

The smile on Rose's face disappeared. She looked serious and said slowly, "I came to you today for my father's case. I can only find some news reports on the Internet, but some reports showed great disparity with each other. I want to ask you if you can help me to find that case file."

Hearing that it was about Ray, Xavier's face turned pale and fell into deep thoughts. It was a well- known big case which involved multiple parties of interests. The case was put on the spot when it was exposed. It was also because of the case that Ray, the well-known president of Lin Real Estate, was thrown into prison. His wife, Lillian Liu, committed suicide. His family declined overnight. Only his only daughter who just graduated from university was called Rose Lin.

As a key case, it was not easy to get it.

Seeing that Xavier was in silence and seemed to have trouble getting the file, Rose knew that it was not easy to get the file. When she was about to give up, Xavier suddenly clapped his hand and raised

his head to promise her "OK, Rose, I will try my best to find you. It is not easy to investigate the case. I'll just try!"

Seeing that there was finally a glimmer of hope, Rose was very happy in her heart. She excitedly held Xavier's arm and thanked him again and again, "Xavier, thank you, thank you very much!"

Seeing the bright smile on Leona's face, Xavier's mood was also affected by the atmosphere and became happy. He smiled and said, "Rosy, we are all family, there's no need to be polite." After saying that, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Rose with some embarrassment, "Rose, I have to go back now. There are still a lot of documents to deal with over there. I will not drive you back. Be careful on the way. I will let you know as soon as I find out the file."

Seeing that Xavier was busy with his work and was willing to help her investigate the case, Rose was very grateful. She did not dare to delay his work again. She quickly pushed him to the stairs, while joking, "Hurry up. Work hard, and serve the people well."

Xavier was amused. He trotted up the stairs, waved his hand to Rose, turned around and ran into the building.
