"What's wrong?" Looking coldly at Amanda, Burke said softly.
Seeing the alienation of Burke, Amanda was unhappy in her heart, but she still suppressed her
emotions and did not show them on her face. She frowned her delicate brows and said in a sweet
voice, "I seemed to hear some noise outside the window just now. I was so afraid to stay at home
alone, so I called you. Did I disturb you and Rose?"
Hearing the reason, Burke was a little unpleasant, but seeing her aggrieved face with tears of Amanda,
his heart softened.
Seeing that the coldness in Burke's eyes softened a little, Amanda began to get entangled with him.
She reached out and took Burke's arm. Pouting her red lips, she pleaded in a sweet voice, "Please stay
with Amy tonight, okay? I'm so scared." As she spoke, she was about to pull Burke into the house.
Without following Amanda into the room, Burke stood still and expressionlessly withdrew his arm from
her hand. He said indifferently, "Rose is still waiting for me in the car downstairs. I cannot stay here
tonight."
Then he walked into Amanda's room, opened and closed the windows one by one. After making sure
that there was nothing wrong with the windows, he turned around and looked at Amanda.
"I've checked the windows and found no problem. You can go to sleep at ease. This community is
equipped with good security measures. I bought you this house in order to protect you. "
When Amanda heard the name of Rose, she was very angry. But she did not dare to show it in front of
Burke. She could only bite her lips secretly.
She was already displeased with the fact that Burke took rose to the party. She planned to use an
excuse to draw him here and let him spend the night with her. However, it turned out that the plan was
interrupted by this woman, Rose. She forced herself to calm down and tried hard to suppress the
jealousy in her heart. She made a very sweet smile and mumbled in a little wronged tone, "Could you
just spend one night with Amy, baby? There are maids to take care of Rose, but I only got you, Burke."
Hearing this, Burke remained calm. He cast a glance at Amanda and said, "Don't wear so much clothes
next time. Or you will catch a cold." Then he went straight out of the room and entered the elevator.
The door of the elevator closed slowly. And then Amanda rushed to the door and saw that the cold face
of Burke disappeared with the door closed. She clenched her fists and slammed the door heavily. Then
she squatted down and sobbed in a low voice.
She knew that the balance in his heart was inclined to one side of Rose.
*
Time passed, and Rose felt like a century had passed. The inner struggle and pain tormented her.
After a long time, the familiar figure of Burke showed up in the dark. It was filled with coldness as usual
and blended in with the coldness around.
Rose turned her head aside and didn't look at him.
Burke quickly walked to his car, opened the door and sat down. The light female perfume smell on him
penetrated into the car with the cold wind, irritating Rose's fragile nerves.
If they hadn't had any intimate contact, how could he be so close to Amanda and even smell the
perfume on her? At the thought of this, Rose's heart ached as if it was pricked by a needle. She didn't
know what she was expecting. Was it because she was hoping that Burke and Amanda would treat
each other like guests? They really loved each other. Rose's delusion about her was unreasonable.
"Let's go back to the manor." Burke ordered the driver. He saw that Rose kept silent and closed her
eyes to rest in the back seat, thinking that she was tired after a day's hard work and didn't want to
disturb her, so he didn't explain more.
Both of them didn't say anything on the way back to the mansion of the manor.

Removing makeup, bathing and drying hair, as soon as Rose returned to the villa, she began to tidy up.
After removing her clothes, Rose came out of the bathroom in loose solid colored cotton nightgown. As
she came out, she saw Burke half-lying on the bed reading books.
Thinking of what happened today, Rose was unhappy and didn't want to sleep in the same bed with
Jacob. So she went to the bed with a cold face, picked up the pillow and was about to leave.
When she was about to leave, her slender wrist was held tightly by a powerful hand.
"Where are you going?" He grabbed her wrist and asked.
"Sleep in the next room." Rose turned around and met Burke's cold eyes.
"What? Is it so hard for you to sleep with me? " Burke asked with a sneer.
"Yes." Rose blurted out without hesitation.
The word was like a steel knife stabbing into Burke's heart. He stared at Rose with anger burning in his
eyes.
The two had been in a stalemate for a long time, and Rose gradually calmed down. She said to Burke
slowly, "Burke, we can't always be so tit for tat, I think we need to have a good talk."
"About what?" Burke let go of Rose's hands. He asked in a cold voice, as if agreeing with her request
for negotiation.
Seeing that Burke didn't refuse her, Rose sat down beside the bed and looked at the front in confusion.
"Burke, I don't know why you are reluctant to divorce me. The person you love is Amanda Zhao, not
me. If you divorce me, you could marry Amanda Zhao and I could be free again without the identity of
Mrs. Gu. It is the best choice for you, me and Amanda. Don't worry. After our divorce, we'll still have a
deal. I'll get what you want, and as for my father, I'll try my best to save him. "
Rose said calmly. Her eyes were covered with tears.
Hearing Rose mentioning divorce again, Burke went angrier. 'Is she so desperate to end the marriage
and leave him?' 'Was it so difficult for her to be with him?' Asking for a divorce again and again had set
Burke's bottom line, which made him angry.
"Divorce?" Burke sneered, "Rose, I won't divorce you. You'd better put this idea out of your mind. As for
your father, you are really too naive. The people that are involved into this are more than you can
imagine. Do you think you can save him on your own?"
Burke's words were like a hammer hammering in Rose's heart. She faintly felt that the matter of her
father's imprisonment was not as simple as she thought. It seemed that there was a huge secret
hidden behind the whole case, which her father had never told her.
