Chapter 280
Catherine looked at Rose sound asleep by the front door. She had been seated there for many hours and eventually fell asleep.
Night came upon the kingdom fast yet there wasn’t any sign or news about Zayne. Each passing hour gave something for the pair to worry about.
Catherine worried about when Rose would wake up and realised that Zayne was not home yet. He could be somewhere safe waiting for the weather to get better or there was a chance he was not back yet. Catherine didn’t know which one she wanted it to be. All she wanted was for Zayne to be home where she could see him.
Catherine didn’t want to think the worst to further worry Rose. If Rose started to panic then Catherine couldn’t continue to pretend to be so calm. She would have headed to the palace even in this weather to get any news about Zayne. Gage had to know something, anything for her and Rose to stop worrying.
"Should I wake the lady for dinner and prepare her for bed?" Krystle asked, worried that Rose might make herself sick at this rate. It wasn’t warm by the door as it was in other places of the estate. Zayne missing and Rose becoming sick would not be good.
"Let her sleep a little longer and keep her dinner warm. We should wait a little longer to see if he will arrive. It will be hard to tell her that her husband is not at home yet," said Catherine.
Catherine knew that once Rose woke up the peaceful rest she was getting now would be the last she got until Zayne was standing before them. Catherine couldn’t think of resting before she knew about her son.
"Then, I shall place her food in her room and prepare her bath," said Krystle.
"That will do," Catherine replied.
