SWNOVELS 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 to come 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 and composed 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 clapped 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 glance 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 congratulations 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 in law.
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 placed 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 plate 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 I come 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-in-law, 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 unwelcomed 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 plate 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 relationship between me and my son.'.
Even the old lady was coaxed into children's play.
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 villa, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing because of the unexpected arrival of Sue. It was Burke's
grandma who broke the silence.
"Your mother in law 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 classmate. 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 according to the attitude of Burke to his mother today, is he protecting me?'?
Maybe it was just their own conflict.
Thought Rose.
