"I haven’t asked who the hero who saved you is." Romeo’s eyes twinkled as he glanced at the passenger seat.
"My name is Gordon. I’m Mr. Bard’s servant, tasked with ensuring Ms. Rose’s safety."
"Gordon," Romeo repeated his name. "You risked your life today to protect my fiancée. I appreciate that. You must come to our wedding feast."
Gordon was speechless.
"I’ll have an invitation sent to you."
At this, Rosemary jabbed him with her elbow, her eyes flashing a warning. Would he ever drop it?
"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Romeo. I’ll be there on time. I wish you and Ms. Rose a lifetime of happiness and unity in advance."
"Thank you," Romeo said, turning to the girl in his arms.
She seemed used to his childishness and jealousy, not bothering to entertain him, and handed the pill bottle in her pocket to the man in the passenger seat.
"Take it twice a day. You can stop after three days."
Gordon was taken aback, his eyes dimming again in gratitude. "Thank you, Ms. Rose."
The rain was heavy just now. Rosemary’s hoodie was slightly wet. Romeo took out a tissue to wipe it off for her and draped a blanket from the car over her.
This blanket was specially prepared for Rosemary.
"Sleep on me for a while. We’re not there yet." Romeo volunteered to be her pillow, allowing the girl to adjust herself comfortably.
"I’ll stay in Dawnstar for a few more days this time. Call me if you need anything."
"Mm." Rosemary responded lazily.
"Let me know if there are places you want to visit or food you want to try."
"Mhm. Did you have to fight a lot just now? Is your hand sore? Let me massage it for you," Romeo offered again.
Listening to their conversation, Gordon felt even more bitter.
His love seemed to have come and gone.
Half an hour later
The car stopped at the entrance of the mansion. Romeo got out of the car, holding an umbrella for Rosemary.
"You should rest early. I’ll come see you tomorrow when I have time."
"Okay."
Although Romeo was reluctant to leave, he handed the umbrella over to her.
Watching her and Gordon each holding an umbrella and walking into the mansion, Romeo stood for a while before getting into the car to leave.
Inside the mansion
Bard was sitting on the sofa, looking up with a gentle gaze as his niece returned.
"Rose, Carl just brought Elliot and his men here. He told me you’re dating Romeo from the McMillian family, and he ran all the way from Solterra for you and helped you catch these guys."
"Yes." Rosemary was surprised that Carl had arrived before they did.
Bard motioned for his niece to sit down, asking gently, "When did you two get together? Your mother never mentioned it."
Rosemary answered honestly, "Not long after I returned to the Collins family."
"So, the engagement is no longer with Serena?"
"It’s with me."
He had heard a thing or two about Romeo’s reputation and worried that his innocent and kind-hearted niece might be at a disadvantage.
