Chapter 228 - Surprise
"Oh, nothing happened. I am very happy to see you." Roselyn placed a soft kiss on John's nose's tip as she smiled as she took his arm and headed toward the kitchen.
John turned around to say hi to the maids but they all gazed at Roselyn who frowned her forehead and they all flinched around their gaze ignoring John's cheer.
"Why aren't they saying hi?" John asked confused but Roselyn shrugged faking a surprised and puzzled facial expression, "I have no idea. Maybe they are jealous to see us happily back together."
"Hmmm," John assumed a thoughtful expression Roselyn had to bit her tongue not to giggle.
She walked inside the kitchen and pointed at the very clean and shining furniture, and then at all the food on the table. "I asked the maids to clean up and make us a huge banquet to celebrate our trace." Roselyn smiled proudly and John laughed, "you did something? didn't you?"
She rolled her eyes, "of course not! I just asked them and they agreed without making stories." Roselyn said faking another smile.
John smiled shaking his head slightly as if he knew she was lying.
"Sit down now," Roselyn said as she walked to the opposite side of the table, she placed some food in her dish.
"How is Abigail?" Roselyn asked, taking few bites of her food and keeping her gaze fix on John to try to decipher his facial expression.
John sipped from his glass and cleared his voice. "She is improving a lot. She already successfully controlled herself twice." John commented, his facial expression wasn't tense so Roselyn assumed he was saying the truth and she smiled quite relieved to hear such good news.
"I will go tomorrow to see her and continue the training," John said as he took another bite of his food.
"Please don't overwork her or don't hurt her," Roselyn recommended and John nodded.
"I won't." He replied right away. They both finished their meal when someone knocked on the door.
One maid soon began to walk toward it but John soon called, "don't go." the maid halted.
"Roselyn you should go." John said and Roselyn raised her eyebrows, "I invited a person here." John explained himself and Roselyn nodded, she stood up and quite hesitantly, and as she didn't know who she could find behind the door.
She reached it and took a long breath to open it.
"Rose!!" Kathy wrapped her arms toward her and Roselyn dropped her mouth as her eyes filled with tears. She hugged her precious friend tightly, she could feel her heart explode from the joy she was in.
Kathy departed from the hug, "John asked me to work for him here, he said he may be dangerous for an..." she gazed around the house. After making sure the other maids weren't in the surroundings she whispered, "human, to be here but the other maids could protect me."
Roselyn knitted her eyebrows down and she shook her head vigorously as she widened her eyes. "No, no-no. that's not a good idea. I don't want to lose you." Roselyn panicked but John appeared behind her making Kathy joint, "I will protect her too. She will work here when we are at home only." John rectified yet Roselyn seemed still quite suspicious about the x of the situation.
"I can learn martial arts or whatever you need to stay near you. I missed you so much, Rose." Kathy said wrapping her in a warm hug and at that point, Roselyn couldn't refuse that proposal.
"Alright." Roselyn breathed out her decision and then accompanied her to the table.
"Sit down," Roselyn suggested but Kathy was kinda embarrassed, she wasn't used to sitting down at tables or attend banquets. Especially if she was a guest of the royal couple and the future King of Scotland. Her cheeks heated, she didn't know what to do, what fork to use what food she could take, and in what order.
She cleared her voice and gazed shyly to Roselyn, "I've already eaten." Her voice was frustrated which Roselyn soon recognized as she had known her for years.
"You can use the first fork and can take whatever food you want," Roselyn said probably deducing the reasons behind her discomfort.
Kathy smiled and slowly took a dish filled with turkeys and took a few slices then some potatoes. She kept gazing at the couple as if she needed a further push and she was still hesitant.
Roselyn and John trying to metterla asuoagio began to eat as well and only when Kathy felt more asuoagio Roselyn spoke, "I am sure my mom is hating on me after she found out about the agreement."
Kathy swallowed down the bite she took and then traveled her gaze toward John as if she wasn't sure to reply in his presence.
"He knows more things than you expect. Don't worry." Roselyn reassured her and just then Kathy replied. "She was, she thinks you're the reason why Sharon disappeared."
Roselyn opened her eyes widely, her mother was right indeed.
"When Sharon was still at house and you were in the castle she totally lost it she was obsessively checking the news to wait for your break up new and she was secretly plotting against you." Kathy scoffed and rolled her eyes, "she wasn't unbearable although seeing her so enraged and jealous was also funny."
Abigail suffocated a laugh from escaping to her lips as she questioned her next matter, "what about Abigail?"
Kathy sipped from the glass and when she probably came in contact with wine her eyes narrowed and she had to swallow hard not to choke on it. She had never tasted it before but after that sip she understood she didn't miss a lot. The taste was so acido and undrinkable.
Roselyn smiled as she remembered the first time she tasted wine and she felt the same way.
"She was mad at Abigail too.. Abigail told me in somehow she found out about her pregnancy and was threatening her to convince you and John to postpone the marriage."
