Chapter 299
"You can’t tell me that you are open to us having a child and then want me to wait, Rose. That is torture, unlike any torture I have ever experienced. Had you told me about this last night or this morning, I would have made different decisions," said Zayne.
"You would not have killed anyone?" Rose asked, regretting not speaking sooner if it was so.
"No, I would have still killed them but I would have been back sooner instead of drinking with Gage. I would have taken my mother’s things to her so she did not need to come here with me. That is what I would have done differently. When do you think they will be done with the garden?" Zayne inquired.
Rose thought about it. "It shouldn’t be long. There wasn’t much done to the garden so- You!" Rose gasped.
It came to her late why he was so interested in the garden.
Rose turned to hide her face from Zayne. "I am not doing that with you so you must stop thinking about it. Anyone can see us in the garden and it is something that is meant to be between us."
"I can clear out the estate so no one will see us. Why do you have this thought that I would let anyone see you undressed? Even if someone were to linger and see you, I would kill them. Everyone is being so complicated these days," Zayne said, curious as to if there was something he was missing since he was so simple.
Rose wasn’t certain of it. She had witnessed others being intimate for the world to see but she thought it was different for married couples. To be out in the open would make her feel so exposed.
Rose looked down at the floor. She was willing to try anything Zayne wanted to do if it would make him happy but she wasn’t so brave to get undressed outside. "If you clear the estate, won’t the servants guess what you are doing it for? Of all places, why a garden? Can’t we put flowers in our bedroom? I have some in a vase there already."
