With You For the Rest of My Life

Chapter 7 Getting Hurt

"Burke! What's wrong with this promiscuous woman? " Grandma turned to look at Burke, speaking in a hurry yet faintly angry. She had known Burke's character. He was serious and self-discipline since he was little, so she didn't think that he would do anything excessive. Now Amanda's appearance was really out of her expectation.

"Well, mom, why are you in a hurry to question me?" Before he could answer it, Sue, who had been watching the fun with a cold look, sneered. She supported her soft hands on the table and said in a melodious tone, "Miss Zhao's appearance might not be Burke's fault. You are the one who raised him up, so you know his character. How can it be possible if it isn't someone's misconduct?"

Sue opened her mouth and wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. Then she gave a meaningful glance at the direction of Rose.

Sue's words just made everything worse. Sue didn't like Rose as her daughter-in-law in the first place. Now, she was glad to meddle in it.

The worse the situation was, the gloater Sue was. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Biting her lower lip, Rose had tried her best to restrain herself. It was ridiculous that she was in such a terrible situation now. Her husband allowed other women to embarrass her in public at the family dinner. And her mother-in-law teased her sarcastically. All the grievances and anger in her heart surged. Her face gradually turned as white as paper.

Sitting in the chair, Burke looked at the pale faced woman in front of him. She had always been a good- natured person. In his impression, she was always gentle and kind. It was rare to see her out of control like this. Except the last time when she hadn't come back the whole night, he had been furious after looking for her for the whole night and questioning her. At that time, she was trembling with anger like now. Her slim body trembled as if she could not withstand a blow.

She didn't return last night Thinking of what happened last time, the expression in Burke's eyes suddenly became cold. He had done too much uncontrollable things to this woman. He would never allow himself to be out of control again.

Holding back the inadvertent softness, Burke raised his head indifferently and looked into Rose's eyes.

"Burke......" With her hands tightly holding the edge of the table, Rose tried to steady herself. However, she did not reveal her emotion as soon as she opened her mouth, "Let's talk about something privately. Today is the family feast. Don't let grandma be disappointed and don't involve some outsiders."

It seemed that she liked to use her grandma to threaten him? Burke frowned, feeling impatient. He was never a man who could be controlled and suppressed by others at will.

"Sister Rose, who are you talking about?" Amanda glanced at Burke's expression and became more confident. She held his arm tighter, looking at Rose pitifully, "I bet you don't know who many year I have known Burke." We have known each other for ten years. Considering this, I'm definitely not an outsider. But if you don't like me, you don't need to bother grandma to put pressure on Burke. I will go by myself. "

Amanda stood up and took her bag.

"There is no need."

The cold voice came again. Burke reached out to grab Amanda, looking at Rose expressionlessly. Then he lowered his eyelids rapidly to avoid noticing the shock and pain in her eyes.

"Now that you're here, why don't you leave after dinner?"

"Burke.... Looking at the man who asked her to stay, Amanda smiled imperceptibly and resumed her pitiful look. She looked at Rose whose face was pale, "Is that really okay?"

Rose just felt that all this was ridiculous. Her husband brought a mistress to a family dinner, and the mistress asked for her opinions in a weak manner, as if she was wrong.

Yes, she was wrong. Probably from the moment she fell in love with Burke, everything was wrong.

"How dare you!" The grandma hit the ground hard with her crutch. She ordered the steward standing aside loudly, "Lin! Send some men to kick this uninvited woman out! "

"Mom, why are you so angry?" Knowing that the situation was about to get worse, Sue decided to act like a good daughter-in-law. She held the old lady's arm and led her inside. "Let me take you inside to rest. I'll handle all this."

The steward was in a dilemma. Looking at the hesitant look on Burke's face and the seemingly tough lady Zhao by his side, he found it really tough to make a choice.

Either way was wrong. He didn't dare to disobey the old lady's order or Burke's.

"Grandma, you don't have to drive me away. I'm not that kind of woman who will take advantage of other people's power to bully others. I will leave soon," Amanda choked with sobs as she said these words. She cast a meaningful glance at Rose.

"No, thanks. I'm leaving now." Rose compressed her pale lips and smiled bitterly. She picked up her handbag, and walked quickly out of the house of Gu Family regardless of the grandma's stop. Since Burke was showing such an attitude, there was no need for her to embarrass herself here anymore.

"Sister, please don't go. Let Amanda go! It's all Amanda's fault." Amanda took her handbag and chased her out, her voice full of guilt and sincerity.

"Amanda Zhao, why on earth do you pretend to be so kind to me now?" Looking up at the woman in front of her, Rose disdained to pretend to be innocent. She felt sick at the sight of that pitiful face.

"Sister Rose," Seeing that there were only two people outside the Gu's house at this time, Amanda stopped acting. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled provocatively and whispered in Rose's ear, "You cannot beat me. Never."

Hardly had her voice faded away, she gave Rose a hard push. Before Rose could react, she crashed into the glass column outside the door unpreparedly. With a muffled snort, she squatted down. The sky and the earth were spinning round for a moment, and her lower abdomen was suffering from a piercing pain.

Amanda stared at the disdainful look on Rose's face with a sly smile. Then she turned to look at the gate of the Gu house. She slapped herself hard and screamed, "Ah --" and fell to the ground. Covering her face with her hands, she cried out, "Sister Rose, why did you do this to me! Did Amanda do something wrong? "

When the Gu Family heard the noise and rushed out, they saw the scene that Amanda fell on the ground and cried bitterly. And Rose squatted beside her. Rose lowered her head and stayed motionless, but her face couldn't be seen clearly.

Burke face turned ghastly pale with rage and rushed out. He carried up Amanda who fell to the ground and cast a sharp glance at Rose who happened to look up at him.

Their eyes met. One looked as indifferent as a knife, and the other looked miserable and desperate.

A few seconds later, Rose felt like it had been several centuries. She watched as Burke turned his head in disgust away from her with Amanda in his arms. Her eyes blurred, and she just felt hurt, both mentally and physically. She was overwhelmed by grief.

"Blood! Rose is bleeding! "

Before Rose lost consciousness, she only heard the sound, followed by all kinds of noisy footsteps. Covering her painful lower abdomen, she faintly felt a panic, and then fell into a dark chaos.
