Chapter 282
Gage was ready to leave since his mother was ready to jump on him too. Neither one acknowledged the fact that he travelled from the palace to tell Rose of his plans when he could have just sent a servant or not told her about his plans since it was a matter concerning the palace.
"I am doing my best here. Everyone seems to forget that this is my brother. I want him back safe and sound so I don’t appreciate the blame game. I get it that you’re both angry and right now, I am the best person to point fingers at but please, give me a little bit of a break," Gage requested.
"Gage, I suggest you get on that carriage you came on and go bring your brother back now. I can’t have another day of this. I want my son home now. Don’t have me go through the fear of losing a child again please," Catherine pleaded, needing Gage to do something.
Catherine didn’t care who felt someone was pointing fingers at who. What she needed was for her son to be found and brought home.
"I know that Zayne is safe and sound somewhere but I want to see him. After this, give him a break. It is needed right now. Have a safe trip back to the palace and don’t stop anywhere else unless it is to the dock. The weather is calming down but we must be careful. I will be here with Rose so you can send any news here," said Catherine.
Gage glanced at Rose. She wasn’t saying anything now that his mother was here. He was certain Rose was cursing him in her head. There was one tiny problem that was slowly growing concerning Rose but he refused to bring it up now to have these two angry with him about something else. They were already shaken up about Zayne.
Gage stepped forward to hug his mother since he knew how hard this was for her more than anyone else. She had already lost one of them and though it was years ago she wasn’t ready to think about losing another.
Gage kissed Catherine on her cheek and when he stepped away, he looked at Rose. They weren’t close to hugging and he didn’t trust that if he got so close to her, she wouldn’t stab him in the back. He always knew to be careful of the quiet ones. Her quiet nature started to remind Gage of Zayne.
Rose was relieved when Gage did not hug her as he did with his mother. She would have been uncomfortable if she had to put on an act like she wanted to hug the king so Catherine wouldn’t be worried.
