Chapter 328
Rose found her mother and Catherine first. Like Zayne suspected, they were both plotting something but Rose didn’t know what it was as yet. As long as they were enjoying themselves then Rose didn’t mind whatever they were up to. It wouldn’t feel right to end their excitement by telling them not to plan something for her.
"The first baby. This is exciting. It is only unfortunate that we might not be around to see the birth and tend to you. I want to have a baby with Paul as soon as possible. A son so father wouldn’t need to worry about who will take over the estate," said Anna.
Anna wouldn’t give her father some peace of mind about the future. He had daughters so many thought he was left without an heir.
"I can’t have one of our cousins be the one to give father an heir. You missed a lot of drama," Anna informed Rose. "Grandmother was not too happy about my choice with Paul. He has good work and a home for us but he wasn’t what she imagined for a daughter of a lord. She thought my life would change and it did but I don’t mind."
Anna already knew that no one would be able to spoil her like her father did unless she married a king.
"Paul already spoils me a lot and now that I am a wife, I think about money differently. I already have plenty of dresses that I have not worn and our home needs more attention than I need dresses. What are you laughing at, mother?" Anna asked, suspicious about what her mother found funny.
"Nothing. It is just wonderful to hear you speak this way. It wasn’t that long ago that I had to scold you for always losing any jewels your father gave you. I see that you have grown up a bit. I am happy you have," Madeline said since she had some concerns about Anna.
"I wasn’t intentionally losing them. Maybe they just wanted me to have something new so they made themselves lost. I am more careful with what Paul buys me. I cannot lose my husband’s gift,’ Anna said, raising her hand to show off her new gift. "And what about you, Rose?"
"It is lovely but I don’t have any need for jewels. I will only wear the ones Zayne bought for me if I need to attend a party or I am hosting a garden party for my friends. I don’t enjoy it as you do," Rose replied.
