"I might have drunk too much last night." Rose rubbed her swollen temples, paused and said softly,
"what should I do now, Tina? I miss him so much. "
Rose rarely mentioned Burke to others. In the past three years, she had never said to anyone that she
missed him.
But in front of Tina, the best friend who knew all her past, Rose could not help but speak out what she
was thinking.
Hearing this, Tina was stunned, and the expression on her face became complicated.
Of course she knew who "he" was.
"Rose..." Tina wanted to tell Rose about the car accident, but Xavier had told her that Rose was not
allowed to know it as an order from Burke.
As Rose's friend, Tina always supported her decision.
Before Rose left Burke, Tina was persuaded by Austin to support her.
But now, looking at Rose's painful face, Tina could not help but doubt whether her previous choice was
right or wrong.
"Tina, I'm really out of my mind because of the fever. How could I say something like that?" Rose shook
her head and regained her rationality. She looked at Tina and said, "I'm sorry. I can't show you around
Ringle Land. In addition, you have to waste time to take care of me here."
"Anyway, I'm not here for sightseeing. I just come to see you." Tina sat on the edge of Rose's bed and
looked at her seriously. She thought for a while and said, "Rose, is there really no possibility for you
and Burke to go back to the old days?"
"In the past three years, he has never looked for me." Rose smiled slightly with a sad face, "maybe I
should let him go, right? What's the point of insisting alone. Besides, I have made a lot of mistakes in
our past relationship. I can't tell who owes more. Furthermore, it was me who made the decision to
leave. I shouldn't blame him for not coming to me. It's my own choice. I should bear it myself. "
Let it go. From now on, they will be separated from each other and never disturb each other.
This might be the best ending.
After staying with Rose for three days, Tina was about to leaving for home.
"Couldn't you stay here for a little longer?" Obviously, Rose didn't want Tina to leave.
"No, thanks. The holiday in China is coming to an end. I have to go back to school to teach my kids."
Tina was volunteering in the west. This time, she only took a few days off to visit Rose and was about
to go back.
Rose stepped forward and hugged Tina. "Remember to stay in touch with me when you get there."
"Okay, if the communication device is working." Tina smiled. The village she was working at was very
unenlightened with the water and electricity facilities not fully operational. If she wanted to make a
phone call, she had to walk a long way to a place covered by signals.
"Take care of yourself there." Rose was worried about Tina.
"I know. Take good care of yourself too. We can meet again when you are free." Tina waved goodbye
to Rose and left with her suitcase.
Standing at the huge airport lobby, Rose looked at the back of Tina who was walking far away, with
reluctance and disappointment on her face.
"Forget about it. She has gone far." A loud male voice was heard.
Surprised, Rose turned around and saw Jim's face again.
He was handsome with an enchanting smile.
"Where did you come from?" Rose patted her chest, still in a state of shock.
Sometimes, she had to doubt whether Jim had installed a tracker on her body and always appeared
inadvertently.
"Where did I come from?" Jim pointed to the gate for the arrival flights
Rose then noticed the suitcase in Jim's hand.
It appeared that he had just arrived.
"I went back to our great motherland recently. After being nourished by the oxygen of our motherland, I
came back." Jim explained, "I didn't expect to meet you when I landed. Tell me, are you waiting for me
here specially?"
"If you want to think so, then it is." Rose pursed her lips.
Jim put down his luggage and opened his arms to Rose. "Miss Lin, would you like to give me a warm
hug to comfort me after my long journey?"
He tilted his head slightly, with an evil smile on his face that was confident enough to attract any
woman.
Rose was amused by Jim's reaction. She ignored him and turned around to leave.
Jim caught up with Rose in a hurry.
"How have you been these days when I was not at Ringle Land? You didn't reply to my messages "
"Oh, you mean those landscape photos?" Rose remembered that when she was recuperating in bed,
she received some e-mails from Jim. Most of them were landscape photos he had taken in China
without any words, so she didn't reply.
"Those landscape photos were taken in my grandmother's hometown. How do you think? It's view
won't lose to Ringle Land, right? " Jim said while walking.
"Yes, it's beautiful." Rose walked out of the airport, picked up the car key and pressed the button.
The car she parked outside immediately lit up.
Rose opened the door of the driver's seat and sat down. At the same time, Jim quickly opened the door
of the passenger's seat, got in and moved the suitcase directly to the back seat.
Rose stared at Jim in astonishment.
"Mr. Qu, I didn't seem to say that I would drive you back, right?"
Rose knew that someone would pick Jim up after he landed.
There was no need for him to take her car.
After dropping down the luggage, Jim fastened his seat belt and looked at Rose in a law-abiding
manner. An innocent smile appeared on his face. "I've driven you so many times. You have to do me a
favor occasionally. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. "
Rose stared at Jim with a roguish smile. She touched her forehead and said, "Jim, I'm busy. I have to
go back and have a rest. I'm not available today. "
She has been in a bad mood recently and had no time to play with Jim.
"Rose, I went back this time due to family issues." Leaning against the back seat, Jim stretched
himself, turned to Rose and asked, "do you want to hear my story?"
Rose was stunned and said nothing.
She approached Jim in order to get more evidence of the Zhao Family's crime. Now was a good time.
But when Jim said this to her, she hesitated.
Something was wrong with him today.
Jim's heart sank slightly when he noticed the defensive look on Rose's face.
He hoped that she wouldn't have to be so vigilant in front of him.
The cynicism on Jim's face disappeared. He pinched between his eyebrows, smiled helplessly, and
said in a lower voice, "Rose, I'm just a little tired. I want to find someone to talk to. You know, you are
the only friend I can talk to without any constrain in Ringle Land."
He had a lot of friends, but most of them were not true friends.
He had never cared about anyone except Rose, and that person.
But that person was no longer there.
Jim's expression became lonely.
Rose looked at Jim inquisitively for a while, turned around, started the car and asked, "so, where are
we going?"
