With You For the Rest of My Life
Chapter 19 Risking It
Rose took the paper and opened the cover. An old family photo came into her sight.
The family of three stood side by side behind a worn-out mud wall.
The middle-aged man stood in the middle, with a chubby woman around his age in his arms. The other girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, stood at the outer side, dressed in a white school uniform, looking dull.
Rose realized that the woman was Amanda.
And the chubby woman who looked a bit like her must be her mother.
"Is this man Amanda Zhao's father?" Pointing at the photo, Rose asked.
"No," Xavier shot a glance along the direction of Rose's finger. He sat down and said, "That's her stepfather."
"No wonder they don't look like a family." Mumbled Rose.
"Amanda's father was missing ever since she was born, and her gambling mother eloped with another man. She lived with her aged aunt grandmother in a remote village. At the age of seven, her aunt grandmother died, and she became an orphan completely. When the police cracked a gambling case, they caught her mother, Janice Chen. After being released from the police station, Janice Chen was sent back to her original village. When she returned to that village, she couldn't bear the pressure of the public opinion and had to bring up Amanda again. " Xavier explained.
"So her mother brought her to Qinshan Town?" Seeing the words on the page, Rose's eyes twinkled slightly.
Qinshan Town was where she first met Burke in her childhood.
At that time, she often went there to escape the summer heat at the hold housekeeper's house. And Burke went there to rest.
During that family feast, Amanda claimed that she had known Burke for ten years. Given her family background, it was not easy for her to know him. They might have known each other in Qinshan Town.
"Yes, she was brought to Qinshan Town by her mother because her mother's lover Lucas Chen opened a repair shop there. At early times, Lucas Chen's repair shop could still earn some money to support their lives. So Janice Chen and Amanda was depending on that earnings at that time." Xavier took a glance at the documents in the hand of Rose, and his eyes fell on the only man in the family photo for a moment. He said in disgust, "I disdain to speak of this man."
"What's wrong with him?" Asked Rose, raising her head.
"Rose, do you know why I have this material?"
