Chapter 47 Losing Contact

As the sun set, the sky darkened.

On the noisy street, Rose, Tina and Austin stood in front of the zebra crossing, waiting for the green
light to light up.

It was not convenient for Rose to move with her leg crossed. When the green light was turned on, she
could not help but rush to the other side of the road. Someone bumped into Rose's shoulder. When she
was about to fall down, Austin quickly reached out to steady her. At the moment when he touched
Rose's frail body, his heart began to beat faster, and his hands were unconsciously reluctant to let her
go.

As Rose finally managed to keep her balance, she turned to look at Austin with a shy smile. "Thank
you." Then she realized that he had put himself in an awkward position.

She moved unnaturally and got rid of the hand gripping her shoulder.

The action of Rose deliberately keeping a distance made Austin's heart sink all of a sudden. He
withdrew his hand awkwardly, and the feeling of loss filled up his heart.

Tina, who was used to be careless, was now in the haze of her failure to marriage. She did not notice
the awkward atmosphere between Austin and Rose. She came over to support Rose, and the two
slowly walked towards the car parked opposite the road.

Austin followed them closely, afraid that Rose would fall down again.

"How did your foot get hurt?" He couldn't help asking.

"I accidentally sprained my ankle on the racetrack. It doesn't matter." Rose thought about what
happened on the racecourse and her eyes darkened.



"How could you be so careless? Who did you went there with? He should have taken care of you."
Austin asked.

"…With my husband. I was the one that was too careless." Rose hesitated for a while and said
awkwardly.

'Husband? Burke?' Since the word 'husband' came out of Rose's mouth sounded a bit harsh, Austin
didn't ask any more questions. He released the brake, stepped on the gas slowly, turned the steering
wheel and slowly drove out of the parking lot.

After a whole day's tiredness, Rose, who was sitting in the back seat, fell into silence. She gently
leaned her head against the window and blankly stared at the scenery outside the window. Tina, who
was talkative before, was also preoccupied and silent along the way.

It was not long before the car passed an old block and arrived at the gate of Southern Garden.

"Thank you, Austin. Contact me when you're free." Looking at the rear-view mirror, Austin smiled and
nodded to Tina. After saying that, Tina opened the door and directly got out of the car.

With worries written all over her face, Rose reached out to take Tina's hand and said, "Don't think too
much about it. Take care of yourself. Even if you need anything for the baby in your belly, just call me."

Rose exhorted.

"I know." Turning around and nodding to Rose, Tina entered the community.

It was at dusk. Looking at Tina's lonely figure disappearing in the night, Rose felt depressed.

The once innocent girl turned gloomy and silent after marriage. At the thought of her entangled
marriage with Burke, and her father Ray who was still in prison, a chill slowly sank in Rose's heart. She
sighed deeply and closed her eyes.



Sitting in the driver's seat, Austin saw Lin Rose's melancholy look in the rearview mirror. Thinking of the
once innocent Rose having such a bad moment, he felt very sad.

If he hadn't gone abroad and if he was the one by Rose's side, she might not be as depressed as she
was now. He would spare no effort to protect her from any harm.

"You're in a bad mood? How about taking you for a ride? " Sensing Rose's sadness, Austin proposed.

"Nothing. I just thought of something. Let's go back to the Gu's manor. It has been one day since I left.
I'm afraid my families will worry about me." Rose replied flatly. 'Home?' She called Gu Family a home
before Austin, but did it really belong to her?

Seeing that Rose refused his invitation, Austin didn't force her to accept his invitation. He started the
car silently and drove towards the Gu's manor.

Last night, Burke stayed up till 1 a.m. to work. he dragged his tired body back to the Gu's house and
had a night sleep.

Early in the morning, he got up and came to her office to deal with some trivial work. After handing all
the important things to Mike, he rushed back to the Gu's manor, wanting to see how Rose had
recovered.

The woman had worried him for the whole night and was still unable to fall asleep. Burke knew clearly
that he had fallen in love with Rose.

As soon as she stepped into the villa, Burke saw Sophie was clearing away the bowls and chopsticks
in front of the dining table. Rose received a call during breakfast. She left in a hurry not long after she
finished her meal.



Hearing Sophie's description, Burke could not help but frown slightly. Rose had always been calm. Who
called her and made her in such a hurry to get out with her ankle injury?

"Did she say where she's going?" Asked Burke.

"No, she left in a hurry, so I didn't ask her details. I just told the driver." Sophie replied after thinking for
a while.

Perplexed, Burke turned to the servant next to him and said, "Tell Mike that I'm not going to attend the
meeting this afternoon, and he'll be fully responsible for the reasons for the contract. A deal can be
decided as long as the expected profit is less than 20%. Besides, ask him to sort out the recent report
of the Galaxy Project and send it to me."

Sophie listened quietly and nodded frequently to express her understanding.

"Sophie, call Rosy's driver and ask him where she is now." Burke turned to tell Sophie.

"Okay, President Gu." Sophie hurriedly left and told the servant to contact the driver.

After saying that, Burke went straight to the living room and sat down, picked up the newspaper on the
table and began to read.

Seeing that Burke had no intention to leave, Sophie came to the kitchen, and put the coffee beans and
beans in a plate of French cakes in front of his table.

"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu's driver Terry took a paternity leave today. But I couldn't get in touch with him because
I couldn't get through to her on the phone."

The servant, who was responsible for contacting the driver, rushed to report to Burke.



As soon as the servant's voice fell, Burke put down the newspaper in his hand, revealing his gloomy
handsome face.

Sophie, who was standing beside the bed, signaled the servant to go downstairs.

The servant understood what Sophie meant and left silently.

With a darkened face, Burke took out his cell phone and dialed Rose's number.
