Chapter 35 His Defense


    "Burke, it''s you. Come over here." Burke''s grandma had a sharp eye, and she immediately saw Burke


    standing at the gate, so she raised her hand to ask him toe over.


    Hearing the voice, Rose raised her head and found that her eyes just met Burke''s, but she didn''t know


    what to do for a moment. She immediately looked away and avoided his eyes.


    She still didn''t know how to get along with him.


    Burke, however, was still calm andposed as he saw her nervous action. He strode to her and sat


    down beside his grandma.


    As soon as he sat down, the usual coldness was gone. A gentle smile suddenly appeared on his


    handsome face, as if it could make two happy lovers.


    "Grandma." He called her name softly, as if coaxing a child.


    It was a good idea for his grandma so she grinned from ear to ear. She held the right hand of Rose and


    closed the left broad palm of Burke. Then she entwined their hands together and pped slightly.


    "Thanks to Rosy, you can recover so quickly. You should take good care of Rosy from now on. If you


    dare to bully her, I will never let you go! "


    "I know, grandma. I won''t dare to disobey you." As he spoke, he cast a meaningful look at Rose.


    His nce somewhat made Rose nervous. With her slender hand held tightly by Burke''s grandma, she


    crossed her hand with his hands and truly felt the temperature from his palm. She could not help but


    blush.


    She still couldn''t get rid of him.


    "You little brat, you are a sweet talker!" Burke''s grandma reached out her hands, clenched her fists,


    and knocked gently on Burke''s head, as if he was a naughty boy.


    Burke was happy to hear this, letting grandma beat him. He even pretended to tilt his body.


    Of course, Burke''s grandma was amused by them so much that envied others.


    "I will be happy if you two get along well!"

    When they were talking, the servants had already prepared the lunch and came to invite the them to


    have lunch.


    Rose held grandma''s arm to the table, and Burke strode to the front to pull out the chair for grandma.


    After grandma took her seat, Burke pulled another dining chair and gestured for Rose to sit down.


    Surprised by his considerate move, Rose didn''t refuse but sat down.


    Sitting opposite to Burke, Jacob motioned for the servants to serve the dishes.


    In order to express her congrattions to the couple, grandma specially invited the chef from the


    famous Michelin starred restaurant in China to cook the lunch at the home. Grandma had learned from


    Rose''s friend Tina that Rose liked the dishes of this restaurant all the time. It could be seen that


    Burke''s grandma loved Rose, her granddaughter inw.


    As Rose''s best friend, Tina often went to the house of Gu family with Rose. Burke''s grandma


    recognized her. In addition, Tina was outgoing and simple, which made Burke''s grandma like her very


    much. Thus, they got familiar with each other over a few times.


    As soon as the dishes were ced on the table, they didn''t even have the chance to take their


    chopsticks. Just then, Sue came in with a gust of aroma.


    "Mom, Burke, you are having your lunch." As if she didn''t see Rose, herring talked to the Burke and


    Burke''s grandma with a smile.


    It was not the first time that Sue had neglected her, but Rose didn''t take it seriously. She picked up the


    tableware on the table and began to cut the food on her te gently.


    "Why are you here?" Grandma knew that sue ignored Rose deliberately, so she was a little unhappy.

    "I''ve heard of Burke''s illness. I''m worried about him, so Ie here to have a look," As she spoke, she


    went to sit beside Burke, and put her hand on his forehead.


    "Mom, I''m all right. The doctor has checked me up," He tilted his body to one side subconsciously to


    avoid his mother''s hand. Sue stopped her action awkwardly and the air seemed became awkward.


    For some unknown reason, Burke did not like to be close to his mother since he could remember. Even


    though she loved him more than anything else, he still felt that there was a deep gap between him and


    his mother. It was hard to tell.


    He was fully aware of what a horrible man, however, he had to turn a blind eye to what his mother had


    done to him in the past years. But at this moment, he was a little annoyed when he saw that Sue


    ignored Rose in front of so many servants.


    Rose was the one he married. As her mother-inw, why did she always can''t tolerate her.


    Trying to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, she pulled her hand back., She felt both angry


    and sad when her beloved son treated her so coldly.


    Nobody responded to her, and they continued to eat. Apparently, Sue was unweed here.


    "That''s right. I''ll leave now. Take care of yourself." Sue tried her best to control her temper and make


    her tone sound calm.


    "Yes." Without raising his head, Burke put a small piece of chopped foie gras into the te opposite to


    Rose''s, as if Sue was not there at all.


    However, Leona was shocked by the meticulous movement of Burke. Staring at the goose liver he just


    handed, she did not know what to do.


    Upon seeing that, Sue stood up angrily, grabbed her handbag at hand, and left on her high heels


    expertly.


    ''Rose, you are such a bitch. You must do something to provoke the rtionship between me and my


    son.''.


    Even the olddy was coaxed into children''s y.


    Why do you and your mother are always against me?


    At the same time, Sue was sitting in the driver''s seat. She couldn''t help stepping on the gas pedal as


    soon as she thought of Rose''s face, which was exactly the same as her mother, Lillian. With a bang,


    the sports car quickly disappeared at the end of the gate of Gu''s manor, leaving a string of exhaust


    gas.

    In the dining room of the vi, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing because of the unexpected


    arrival of Sue. It was Burke''s grandma who broke the silence.


    "Your mother inw is spoiled and has got used to her bad temper. But she is not bad in her heart.


    Don''t take it to your heart." "Okay, I know, grandma." Rose looked up and smiled at Burke''s grandma,


    indicating that she got it.


    As far as she knew, Rose had heard from her mother about Sue''s temper. Sue was her college


    ssmate. They had been on good terms at the beginning, but they broke up with each other after they


    got married. she didn''t know the reason.


    ''Maybe it has something with my mother. Why does Sue hate me so much?''.


    ''But ording to the attitude of Burke to his mother today, is he protecting me?''?


    Maybe it was just their own conflict.


    Thought Rose.
