"Have you seen enough? I don't mind you looking at me a little longer. " There was a hint of banter in
his tone. It was obvious that Burke had noticed that there was a woman standing at the corner of the
stairs, who was staring at him blankly. He was quite satisfied with her reaction, smiling slightly.
"You..." Being caught red handed, Rose was ashamed and annoyed. She glanced at him, then
immediately looked away and went downstairs.
Seeing this, Burke stepped forward and stopped in front of the stairs. He stood in front of Rose who
was walking towards him gracefully. He reached out his hand and gave her a gesture of invitation,
indicating her to hand his hand to him.
But Rose ignored it, bypassed Burke, and made a quick dodge to the door.
Her deliberate act of avoiding contact with him caused his heart to sink. His bright eyes darkened.
She was rejecting his passion.
Looking at the receding figure of Rose, Burke paused and followed her.
In front of the villa, a luxury commercial vehicle had been stopped steadily, waiting for the owner.
"Mr. Burke, Mrs. Rose." The waiter waiting outside saw that the they walked out one after another. He
walked quickly to the front of the car, opened the door, and put his hand over the roof of the car. Then
Rose got into the car.
Burke walked to the other side of the car, opened the door and sat next to Rose. A waiter closed the
door of the side of the car gently to indicate the driver to leave.
The car moved on along the shady road. Both of them were silent.
Even the driver could notice the change of the atmosphere. He couldn't help observing the expressions
on their faces secretly through rear view mirror.
Burke leaned back on the seat, slightly bended his head and closed his eyes, as if he was
recuperating. There was no emotion on his usual calm face.
On the other side, Rose looked out of the window, absent-minded and immersed in her own thoughts.
There was a slight sadness between her eyebrows, which seemed that she was preoccupied with
something and was not happy.
Driver was experienced, who was nearly forty years old. In his business, he had seen all kinds of
people, including many newly married couples. All of them were glued to each other and wanted to be
together all the time. The couple in the car looked like a perfect couple. But their estrangement made
people feel that they were not a couple at all. There seemed to be a bizarre atmosphere between them.
Was that the case for the wealthy couples?
'Well, it's hard to understand what the rich did.' The driver thought. He collected himself and continued
driving intently.
"Have you learned horsemanship before?" Burke opened his mouth first with his eyes closed, keeping
the posture of refreshing.
Rose turned around to take a look at him, and then turned around again.
"Daddy took me to learn it once when I was a kid. But I can't remember it after so many years." But why
all the memories related to him twelve years ago were so unforgettable.
"It's okay. Let me teach you." He was still emotionless.
Then he sank into silence again, not saying anything on the way.
It won't be long bfore the car stopped steadily in front of a gate. Through the railings on both sides of
the gate, they could see the boundless meadow inside. The vast land brightened up their mood in an
instant.
"Mr. Gu, here we are." The driver reminded.
"Yes." He slowly opened his sleepy eyes and turned to look at her.
"Get off the car now,"
The people in the racecourse had already received the news. When they saw the car coming from a
distance, they trotted all the way to the car and opened the door for them. "Good morning, Mr Gu. and
Mrs. Gu.".
Rose got off the car and smiled to that person. She then looked around carefully.
Burke got off the car and walked around to her. He held her hand and led her to the racecourse.
With her hand being held, Rose felt her heart missed a beat. She couldn't help but feel that she was led
forward by him.
Burke could clearly feel that her small hand was trembling slightly because of nervousness. He
increased the strength of his hand, and his slender fingers pried open Rose's slender fingers and
clasped together.
This tiny action made Rose's heart tighten, and her once iced heart seemed to be melting.
An sightseeing bus arrived at the racecourse. The manager led them to get on the bus.
"Where are we going?" Asked Rose.
"To see the horses." Burke turned his head and looked at Rose.
The sightseeing bus went slowly on the racetrack. People could see the boundless green grass field,
which made them have a very broad mood. Sun, the green grass and the smell of soil temporarily
expelled Rose's melancholy past several days and enjoyed the moment of peace.
Seeing the obvious smile on Rose's face, Burke was in a better mood.
"This Racecourse has just been set up. I rarely come here. Today is a sunny day, so I can take you
here."
Burke seemed to be in a good mood, Burke even chatted with Rose leisurely.
"Nice view." Thus, Burke gradually relaxed his vigilance.
"Xavier came here more often than I did. His "blood BMW" is also here."
"Ha Ha." hearing the name "blood BMW", Rose couldn't help but laugh. The name sounded like the
name of Xavier.
Hearing what Burke said, Rose burst into laughter, which was as pure and beautiful as a young girl.
The two dimples on her cheeks also wantonly bloomed, as if she was full of wine, making people
intoxicated.
Burke was also drunk. The smile on his face became more and more obvious.
On the other hand, the administrator of the racecourse was a little frightened.
Mr. Gu used to be a man of few words. But today, he said so many words which were of no importance
to him. At ordinary times, it would be difficult for him to talk more.
Fortunately, the administrator was standing in front of a vacant room. Otherwise, Rose could see his
funny, twisted expression because of astonishment.
After a short while, the sightseeing car arrived in front of a building in the center of the haystack, taking
Burke and Rose in front of it. Standing at the gate of the building, they could hear the horse's neigh
from time to time.
On their way to the restaurant, Burke never let go of Rose's hand, holding her hands tightly.
She had to admit that Burke's action made her feel unexpectedly happy.
Her once desperate and hopeless heart seemed to be shaking.
The lobby manager led them into the building. Two lines of neat horses were reined in the stables.
Horses seemed to be the best in color and hair. With the good care of the tamer, the horses now
looked more spirited and young.
