Chapter 268
Rose sensed tension brewing between Gage and Zayne since Paige blurted out Gage’s name. Rose didn’t know what the king’s intentions were for bringing up her past to his sister. Was he hoping for Paige to start trouble or was he simply sharing what he knew? It could be answered if they knew what exactly Paige heard.
’Should I take out something for you to eat? The maids won’t come until dinner is ready to be served," Rose spoke softly to Zayne.
The best way to stop an argument from coming was to distract Zayne. Rose had to hope Yvonne was doing the same with Gage. From standing close to the king before, Rose saw that Yvonne had more to be concerned about than she did.
Zayne looked away from his brother to Rose. She was trying her best to keep the dinner in a positive light. "I will pick out for both of us."
"Thank you," Rose replied.
"I’m truly sorry for bringing it up and if it came off like I was judging you. We don’t have those kinds of women in our family and they aren’t welcomed into the palace so I was confused as to how Zayne got to marry you. Who are your parents?" Paige asked, still curious about Rose.
"They are Lord and Lady Ambrose. I have a sister at home. They are all lovely people and I miss them dearly," Rose said, missing them now that they were brought up.
"I hope to meet your parents one day. I want to see who raised such a remarkable young lady. It might be hard to get a lord away from his land but still, I hope they will come. Or perhaps I shall join you whenever you go home," Catherine suggested.
Rose was pleased to hear this. "You would join me? Truly?"
