It was nearly noon when Rose finally woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes with her fair hand, but still
couldn't find Burke on the bed.
She had been asleep on the bedside last night, but now she was lying on the bed and covered herself
tightly with quilt.
"Sophie! Sophie! " Rose stood up and sat on the bed.
"Coming!"
Sophie came over hearing the noise.
"Where is Burke?"
She didn't expect that she still cared about him.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Gu. Mr. Gu is alright. He had two bowls of porridge early in the morning. He is
working in the garden now." Sophie said with a smile. She was glad that Burke was healthy.
"Has the doctor come yet?" She was still worried about him.
"Yes, he has. He said that Burke has been fine and has recovered quickly."
"Well, I see. You can go to work now." After confirming that Burke was fine from Sophie, Rose breathed
a sigh of relief and signaled her to go ahead with her work.
Rose rubbed her temples, trying to wake herself up as soon as possible.
Burke must be the one to put her in the bed.
It was Burke who carried her to the bed and tucked her in.
He......
Rose shook her head violently and denied the ridiculous idea that she was about to have.
'Rose, do you forget what he has done to you? His sweetheart was the woman called Amanda, and
she was the real Amy in his heart. You are just his contractual wife with him. His heart will never leave
a place for you.
Don't be obsessed with his gentleness. The more you fell in love with him, the harder you got to get rid
of him.'
Sitting on the bed weakly, Rose tried not to be influenced by what Burke's doing.

In the open garden, the video conference between Burke and Fang from Aus Group was still going on.
A huge meeting table was shown on the screen. It's two rows of men in suits sitting neatly on both
sides of the table, with one side for the Gu Group and the other for the Aus Group led by Mr. Fang.
They were talking and arguing fiercely, which made the atmosphere a little tense. If not for Burke sitting
in front of the computer, there would have been a quarrel in the meeting room at the moment.
"Mr. Fang, we have invested a large amount of manpower and material resources in this project. Now
you suddenly want to suspend the project. Is it right?" Mr. Wang, in charge of the cooperation project
with the Aus Group, said angrily.
"Mr. Gu, the strength of our company is not as strong as yours. It is also because of our hard work that
we can cooperate with you. We also cherish this opportunity. But now, as you know, the stock price of
Gu Group has fallen sharply since the Hetian Real Estate Project event. We don't have much
confidence in its future. The reason why we suspended this project is to make a comprehensive plan
for the future of our group. I hope you can understand." Fang didn't dare to be so rude in front of Burke.
The cooperation project with the Aus Group was an early construction project under theHetian Real
Estate Project and it had been carried out for a period of time. If the construction was suspended at this
time, it would be difficult to restarted Hetian Real Estate Project again. It was undoubtedly making the
situation worse for the Gu Group.
While the two sides were arguing fiercely at the conference table, Burke, who was on the other end of
the video, spoke slowly.
"So, Mr. Fang, why don't we single out this project first? Whether Hetian Real Estate Project will be
restarted or not, it won't affect the interests of your company. All the cost from singling out this project
will be taken from our Gu Group."
On hearing this, Fang was stunned for a moment. Then he came to his sense and discussed with his
assistant to show his agreement.
The confidence and calmness shown by Burke made Mr. Fang admire him a lot. Burke did deserve his
reputation. Though young, he got something special.
No objection was raised from both sides at the meeting table.
Hetian Real Estate Project was the first project that Burke had taken over since he took over the Gu
Group. It had gathered a lot of energy and hard work, and was also the key to stabilize his position in
the president of the Gu Group. This project was very important, both for him and the company. He
would never give up on this.
After the video conference, Burke rubbed his sore temple. He took a look at his watch and found that it
was already lunch time. He wondered if Rose woke up. Thinking of Rose, Burke's mood was much
better, and the unhappiness in the working meeting just now disappeared.
Looking up, the sun just right on him. Burke gently closed his eyes, letting himself basking in the
sunlight, clearing up his mind for a while.
Rose's existence was just like the sunshine at this moment, making him feel warm and secure. He
found that he didn't regard Rose as his contractual wife anymore. The relationship between them was
so simple. He wanted her to stay with him at any time. He wanted to see her at any time.
After a long time, when grandma heard that Burke was fine, she grinned from ear to ear and sent
someone to invite Rose and Burke to her house for lunch.
"Got it. I'm on my way." Burke nodded and closed his laptop. Then he asked his secretary to sort out
the files on his desk and walked towards grandma's villa.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw that Rose had already dressed up and was chatting with
grandma in the living room. With a bright smile on her face, she looked especially gentle and beautiful.
Such a warm and harmonious picture made Burke stop walking. It had been how long since his family
had such a warm moment, he could not remember it.
