Chapter 312
"You should smile. It is only a party we are attending for a few hours. I wish to leave as early as you do but only after we’ve shared a dance or two. We have not danced since our wedding and I miss it," said Rose.
While she wanted Zayne to smile, Rose enjoyed his grumpy side.
"You didn’t need to say yes if you were going to be like this. We could have stayed home or I would have attended the party with your mother. I’ve been going to see my friends but we both needed to get out of the estate for a different scenery. I hope tonight will not have too much drama," Rose said and then turned her attention to the window.
She had not travelled to this part of the town before.
"I thought you were going to be positive and say that it would go well. Surprisingly, you aren’t," Zayne said, curious about what was going on inside her head.
Rose smiled. "I would like to think that but for my first official appearance, there will be a lot said and many trying to see if they can test me. I don’t have high hopes for the night. I will just be satisfied with us getting the chance to dance. That is all I am thinking about. You will dance, right?"
"If you ask nicely I will. I already did you a big favour by joining you at this party. I need to go back to keeping my mother out of the estate. Paige is busy being a dutiful wife or whatever she calls herself so she is off my back but then there is still my mother. She’s started to pack her bags to sail out with us. How about we leave before winter?" Zayne suggested.
Rose shook her head. "I am not leaving without Catherine. I already promised she would get to meet my family. She doesn’t have anyone to be at her side now that Paige is married. She meets with her friends but that is about it. We have time so we should invite her when she seems lonely. I’ll try my best not to accept an invitation to every party she mentions."
"I want to have some fun before we leave or before we know if we are having a baby. I think our peaceful days will end then. I have high hopes for Emilia that she will hear good news soon. She’s been trying before us."
