Chapter Thirty-Four
When Catherine got home by seven o'clock, she walked into the living room and froze as she stared at the faces of everyone in the room.
Then her gaze rested on Rome, sitting alone on one of the couches, and when their eyes met, he faintly smiled at her.
Without any hesitation, she walked politely to the chair and sat down beside him.
“What is this about? Did you do something wrong?” Catherine whispered with worry in her eyes.
“This is not about me. I have been at the construction site all day and when I got home, everyone was seated here, so I did the same.” Rome mumbled, resting his palm over the back of her hand.
“Oh. Then why are we having a meeting?”
“I'm afraid that if I asked, I might get you and me in trouble. So I have kept my silence since I arrived.”
“Smart.”
Both of them shared a brief smile before focusing on the others.
Finally, after waiting for a while, Chloe, Charles, Jeff, and Richard entered th

The first golden light of dawn sneaked into the room, beaming on Rome's face. Refusing to open his eyes, he gently rubbed his eyelid and laid still for a while before slowly raising them, and for about five minutes, he didn't blink as he stared at the ceiling. Then he swayed his focus on Catherine's face and softly smiled. After a few minutes had gone by, he threw the blanket off him, got out of bed, and headed for the shower. The morning felt peaceful when Rome stepped out of the room minutes later. Then he strolled down the hallway, heading for the living room. However, the moment he entered the living room and his gaze rested on Chloe, she rolled her eyes, and he knew his morning was about to get ruined. “Good morning, sister-in-law,” Rome mumbled, forcing a smile on his lips. “Don't talk to me!” Chloe rudely said with a frown. Without uttering another word, Rome turned around to leave, but

It suddenly became quiet in the car as Rome glanced at Catherine, then at his phone. For a moment, she waited patiently on him before asking, “Did you hear me?” “Umm, hold that thought for a second. I got to reply to this text quickly. It's from my dad.” Rome mumbled, gazing at the browser on his phone. Then he hastily typed in the search box, “The nearest construction site,” and clicked the search icon. After gazing at the screen for a while, he stared back at Catherine and asked, “What were you saying?” “I was asking about the location of your job site,” Catherine mumbled, keeping her eyes fixed on the road. “It's on the Bell Route.” “Oh, okay.” When a few minutes had gone by, Catherine sighed heavily and said, “I'm such a terrible wife.” “Why would you say that?” Rome gently asked, fixing his eyes on her. “Well, what kind of wife doesn't know her husband's workplace?” “Well, I didn't tel

Tracing her fingers down Rome's chest, Catherine slowly opened her eyes. Then her lips curved into a smile as she stared up at his face. Suddenly, he raised his eyelids and warmly smiled while focusing his gaze solely on her. Both of them didn't utter a word for a while as they stared into each other's eyes. “Morning, wife.” Rome finally whispered, blinking slowly as he tried to wake up fully. When Catherine was about to reply, his ringtone interrupted her, and she withdrew from Rome’s arm and sat up, resting her feet on the cold tiles. For a moment, he gazed at her back. Then he reached for his phone and answered the call. “It's seven,” Rome mumbled, rubbing his eyes as he sat up. “And it's also the weekend.” Mr. Ford's voice echoed into his ear. “I know. Alright, I'm on my way.” “Good, Orlando is waiting on you.” After ending the call, he stared at Cathrine. Then drew towards her and hugged her f

Without even realizing it, the morning had become noon, and Rome was still stuck on trimming the brushes to perfection.The afternoon sun was hot, and his body was drained with his sweat. But he kept going, and every now and then he would gaze at Catherine, standing a few steps away from him with a water bottle and towel in her hand.“I can't believe she is actually in that blazing heat with him.” Richard said, taking a sip of his tropical juice.Gazing away from the umbrella covering her, Chloe pulled down her shade off her face, stared at the pool before glaring at Rome and Catherine a few distances away from the pool yard.Then she rolled her eyes and said, “That right there is the definition of

For almost fifteen minutes, Rome and his father didn't utter a word to each other. “You seem disturbed.” Mr. Orlando finally said without staring at his son. “I got a lot on my mind,” Rome mumbled, keeping his eyes focus on the windshield. “Burden me with some, and don't keep it all inside. I'm your father, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.” “Now that you mention it, there's something I need you to do for me.” Feeling his anger subsiding, Mr. Ford gazed at his son and asked, “What is it?” “I need to keep tabs on Chloe,” Rome said, swaying his gaze towards his father. “Isn't Mr. Orlando already doing that?” “Yes, but he is limited unlike you. There's no happening in this country that you don't know about. That's why I need you to do this for me.” “You can do it yourself.” “What do you mean.” For a second, Mr. Ford looked hesitant.

Then he slowly pulled his hand from under her, picked his phone from the nightstand, and got out of bed. Afterward, he left the room, stood by the door, and answered the call. “Boss.” Brook’s voice echoed into his ear. “Speak,” Rome said, leaning against the wall. “It has happened.” “I will meet you guys at the casino.” After ending the call, Rome was about to go back into the room when he saw Jeff, hurrying down the hallway with his phone pressed against his ear. “What? Faulty wiring! I'm on my way.” Jeff said as he marched past Rome without looking his way. Taking in a deep breath, Rome pushed the door open and headed inside. By seven, he and Catherine came downstairs and met everyone seated in the living room. “What's going on?” Catherine mumbled, noticing the distress
