Chapter 304
"Is it always going to be like this with you making yourself busy?" Zayne asked, standing behind Rose where he failed to get her attention.
"It is only this once. I do not know if I will have friends after today. I invited Mary so if it doesn’t go well at least I have her. I offered to prepare something for you so Finn could visit then you wouldn’t be alone but you didn’t want to do it. Now you are sticking to me," Rose said, waiting patiently for the moment he would leave her be.
"Who wants to ruin a good day by having Finn around?" Zayne replied.
"No one," Mary answered as she entered the room with Krystle right behind her. "It is good you have made it home safely general."
"I made it back home for my wife to be busy preparing our garden for her new friends. Trying to get her full attention is a battle I am losing. I can’t be around today so do me a favour and look after her today. Give me any names-"
"No!" Rose stopped Zayne in his tracks. "You cannot hurt or ruin anyone if this gathering does not go well. I will not get along with every lady I come across and I am perfectly fine with it. It will hurt me going forward if everyone has to face your wrath. What if people who would have made good friends don’t come around because they are afraid?"
Rose tried her best to get Zayne to turn around to leave but it was like pushing a wall. She was helpless so she looked to Mary for help.
"My apologies. I am not strong enough to get the general to budge. It is a lost cause so you should give up. I do think for men as tall as the general that throwing something and then running works," Mary suggested.
Zayne moved, ending the massage Rose was giving him as she pressed her hands to his back. "And here I thought I treated you well by not suggesting my wife throw something at me."
