Chapter 327
After a quick walk through the garden, Rose parted from Zayne to find a quiet corner to read a book she brought along. Her pace when reading had increased but there were still new words that stumped her.
Rose waited for Anna’s arrival as well as Mary, Finn, and Krystle to join them to add more dinner guests for the celebration. Rose wanted Charlotte to join them as well but did not receive a response as yet. Janice was going to come which made Rose happy.
"Where is she?" Rose heard Anna’s voice. She didn’t know how much she missed her sister until she heard Anna searching for her.
"I am here!" Rose said as loud as she could for Anna to find her. She set the book aside to finish later and stood up.
"Rose!" Anna yelled, rushing to her sister to hug her. "It is about time you returned. I missed you so much."
Anna was disappointed that Rose could not make it to her wedding. It would have been fun to have Rose by her side as well as her mother but then again, it saved Anna from having more drama from her grandmother.
Rose looked at the man waiting to be introduced. "You must introduce your husband to me. I do not know where Zayne is to introduce them."
Anna let go of Rose and turned around to look at her husband. "He is Paul Shepherd. If you visit the palace, you might find him there in the court. He was one of the lucky men not replaced. This is my sister, Rose Hamilton."
Paul bowed slightly to greet Rose. He knew exactly what the Hamilton name meant and he was well aware of who Zayne was. The men from outside the kingdom in the court spoke about Zayne so much that Paul felt he knew him. "You are just as your sister described you to be."
