With You For the Rest of My Life
Chapter 9 Giving Up
After she woke up from the miscarriage the other day, she asked for a divorce. Burke was irritated and turned away. They had never met again since then.
If he really cared about her, why didn't he show up for so many days? If he really cared about the child, why did he say such ruthless words like that?
A smile of self-mockery appeared on Rose's lips. She was a wife who had never been paid much attention to. Probably in the eyes of Burke, she was just a partner on that contract.
She had no right to have his baby or his love. She should have known it.
"The Gu Group has encountered some difficult problems these days, and Burke is very busy every day. I heard from his assistant that the whole company is working overtime with him now. They are all on call." Xavier looked at the face of Rose quietly, and guessed most of her thoughts. He then tried to explain for Burke.
However, Rose didn't want to hear that.
"Can you get me a glass of water? I'm thirsty. " As if not hearing what he said, Rose stared at the kettle on the tea table in the corner of the ward and licked her dry and cracked lips.
Xavier was stunned for a moment. He knew that she didn't want to talk about Burke. After a long time, he nodded and turned to get some water for the cup.
After all, it was the ward where the daughter-in-law of Gu Family stayed, and all the things were in it of course. When Xavier poured water, he added some wolf-berry in the water. And he thought of some online drama to make Rose happy.
"According to the Internet, when a person reached a certain age, the fashion of health care is to add more wolf-berry into the bottle when drinking beer, and put on the autumn pants when wearing pants with holes in winter. "
Rose took a sip of the water in the glass to find that the temperature was just right. Listening to what Xavier had said, she smiled with satisfaction.
"Oh, that's right. Rose, you look beautiful when you smile. You should smile more." Seeing that Rose was no longer as sickly and lifeless as she was before, Xavier felt relaxed. He pulled up a chair nearby and sat down, picked up the fruit from the fruit basket beside the bed, picked up a scalpel and began to peel it, while muttering, "My mother said that apple is nutritious enough to nourish blood. I'll peel one for you. "
Seeing him peeling the apple, Rose covered herself with the quilt and reminded him, "Be careful. Don't cut your skin."
"Oh, you really care about me," said Xavier, grinning playfully. "Burke haven't been so kind to me. The evil capitalist will always oppress a person like me."
It was just a joke, but he just mentioned the name that Rose did not want to hear.
long time, he looked at Rose's face and said, "Rose, I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that Burke really loves you. Maybe he doesn't even know himself, but I grew up with him. Being with him for so long, I can feel that he is different from you, not
