With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 20

They were driving very fast from the Yang's house to the reservoir. Rose had breakfast at the old house and left her coat there, thinking of fetch it next time. However, it was windy in the afternoon. When she got out of the car, she couldn't help but shudder.

Xavier took off his coat and put it on Rose.

"Thank you." Rose did not refuse. At this time, she was too exhausted to think about other ways.

The reservoir is located in the desolate suburb. Before, it was a plastic factory. Later the government made the factory moved away gradually. The left warehouses were most deserted.

It was extremely muddy and bumpy. As for Rose's high-heeled shoes, she must take great care to avoid falling down.

"You wait outside. If we don't come out in thirty minutes, call the police." Xavier bent over the lowered window and told the driver to guard in the car.

"Okay." Liu nodded without asking too much. In this job, there principle is to do more and talk less.

"Let's go. I go ahead and you follow behind me. " Xavier said to Rose, but found that her sight was fixed on a black car beside the gate of the mechanical warehouse.

"What's up, Rose?" Xavier looked strangely along her sight and suddenly had an epiphany.

It was Burke's car.

Was he back? He was supposed to be on a business trip and would be back tomorrow afternoon, wasn't he? Rose smiled sadly. As expected, for his 'Amy', he could do everything.

The most regretful thing Rose had done so far was probably marrying Burke.

Marrying a man who didn't love her at all was a pathetic thing.

The rusty iron door was pulled open by Xavier. Rose followed him in. When he looked up and saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned in an instant.

In the huge deserted mechanical warehouse, Amanda's hair was put all over her head. Her face was covered with tears. She put her head on Burke's shoulder. It was obvious that the man just got off the plane. He was still wearing the suit that he often wore at work. Hugging the woman in his arms, he patted the back of the woman and consoled her in a soft voice.

Rose had never seen this kind of softness on his face.

The romantic and touching atmosphere was broken by her coming. She was to blame. Clenching her fist, Leona smiled with self-mockery.

A flash of surprise flashed through Burke's eyes when he saw Xavier, but soon calmed down.

"Xavier, why are you here?"

"If I didn't come here, do you want me to watch Rose be bullied by you?" Xavier didn't get angry but laughed.

He had never spoken to Burke in such a tone. Now he was extremely angry.

"Burke, I have always regarded you as my big brother and respect you. I didn't expect you to..." Xavier pointed at Amanda not far away and closed his eyes, unwilling to continue.

"Xavier, you'd better not talk nonsense before you know the truth." Burton stood up and went straight to Rose behind Xavier, standing in front of her.

"Did you ask those who kidnapped Amy's mother to do this?"

He was a tall man, half a head taller than Rose. Looking down at her, he exuded an air of interrogation.

And his tone was serious.

Rose looked at him in silence for half a second, and asked, "You doubt me?"

After seeing the disappointment and pain in her eyes, Burke was shocked.

Did he suspect her?

Of course not.

She was at least his wife, the woman who was sworn in front of the priest together with him.

He had been with her for half a year, so he knew her better.

Rose was such a calm woman that she would never kidnap Amanda's mother to threaten her.

Besides, he knew clearly that she was desperate to divorce him right now. She cannot think of such a way to let Amanda leave him.

Thinking of that she was going to divorce with him secretly, he suddenly felt depressed.

"This is a text message from the kidnapper. Do you want to have a look?"

Burke took out the woman's cell phone from his jacket pocket. Without asking, Rose knew that it was Amanda's for sure.

He held the phone in front of her and showed the threat message on the bright screen.

"At three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, take what I want to the second floor of the mechanical warehouse behind No. 285 of the reservoir to trade for your mother. Give me ten million in cash or break up with Burke and write a guarantee that you will never see him again. "

"So, you think I did it just because of this message?" Rose turned to look at Burke again.

"And this. Do you want to have a look?" As he said, he kicked a black wooden box beside him.

Rose squatted down and opened the wooden box. After she saw clearly what was in it, she screamed, "Ah!" After a shriek, she leaned back and sat on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Xavier helped her up. He frowned and glanced at the thing in the black wooden box.

In the box, there was a bloody finger wearing a platinum ring.

"Amy has confirmed that the platinum ring on her finger is her mother's. The finger was forcibly cut off and put in front of Amy's apartment door." Burke said in a low voice.

"And then? Then you think Rose did it?" Said Xavier.

"If it weren't for her, who else would have hated me so much! A crazy woman who even hurt my family! " Amanda stood up, staggered pitifully. She pointed at Rose and said, "Rose, my mother is the only family I have. Could you please stop hurting her? You can take revenge on me if you are dissatisfied with me. Please! "
