Chapter 316
Gage stood beside his mother, watching as the couples danced. "She’s never going to like me, which is odd since Zayne seems to like me a little bit now."
"Can you blame her? You were a fool around your brother when she came here. If you weren’t my son, I might not like you because of the things you do. You just have to accept that there needs to be time for Rose to warm up to you. I know she won’t dislike you for long," said Catherine.
Catherine had a good understanding of Rose’s heart to know she wouldn’t think about Gage’s past actions for much longer. "You should do something nice for Rose and your brother. Try to meet with them a little more to show her that you are fixing your past mistakes or maybe, just leave it alone."
"I’ve already apologised for sending him out and I have been turning down all the requests to make him return to the army. How about I give them my ship for when Rose goes back to see her family? It’s a nice ship to sail on," Gage suggested.
"It has too many royal symbols on it to use. I don’t want to draw too much attention to ourselves so it’s best to go with Zayne’s ship. It’s a pity you cannot join us to meet her family. You will need to wait for when they decide to come here. They do look lovely together," Catherine noted, enjoying seeing Zayne amongst the crowd.
Gage nodded his head. "They do. I can’t question anymore if they are in love with each other. She’s making him do things we had to beg him to do with ease. As much as I want him in the palace, he does deserve this time with his family. I will think of something to show I want to be in a good place with both of them."
’Good. I don’t like to see when the family doesn’t get along. She’s a sweet girl and rightfully protective of her husband so you can’t be angry when she doesn’t like some of the things you do. She’s married but when I am gone, I will need you to take care of Paige. Help her with whatever she needs," said Catherine.
Gage already planned to since Paige would always be his little sister. "Don’t worry about anyone. Just enjoy yourself over there. You’ve had to put up with a lot concerning us over the years so you deserve a break. Don’t go over there and try to take care of those two. Have fun."
"Oh, I intend to. I will be there with Rose’s mother. I couldn’t bother myself with those two if I wanted to. Look how focused they are on each other. If another royal baby is announced while I am away, know now that I am happy for you. You’ve made a wonderful father to your son," Catherine patted Gage’s back.
