Chapter 318
"I am not glass," Rose said, followed by laughter. "You mustn’t treat me any differently for anyone to notice. I am not ready to answer their questions unless I know for certain. We must keep this between us."
"I intend to," Zayne said, wanting to enjoy the moment between them.
"You say that but when you tiptoe around me like you are now, it is easy to suspect something is happening with us. Your mother will figure it out first. I do want to tell her but not now so please," Rose touched Zayne’s arm.
It was good to see him try to be careful but it was too noticeable.
"You’ve been careful with me for as long as I have known you so why are you acting like you were hurting me before? It is not like we are certain. I’ve witnessed plenty of women in the brothel get scared and it turned out that they were strangely late. It is hard to understand our bodies," Rose said, but she still hoped this wasn’t the case this time.
Rose was already positive this was it and seeing Zayne be so happy, she didn’t want to ruin it.
The timing was perfect since Rose would soon see her mother so she would have both Madeline and Catherine together to answer any questions she might have. Then she could share the news to her mother face to face instead of having to rely on a letter.
"You’re already small as it is. We need to be careful with you now or so I’ve heard when Yvonne was expecting my nephew," said Zayne.
"From what my friends told me, it might be true but she was carrying the future king of the kingdom. I am lucky that our child will not be a future king or queen. We don’t have to worry about anyone panicking. I hope I do not. I would like for this to be peaceful," Rose said but she knew it wouldn’t be so.
