CHAPTER 700

Half an hour had passed.

Romeo's car was the first to pull up at the gate of the estate.

He got out and opened the door for Rosemary, while Joyce clung to her with an unwilling embrace.

"I have no idea when I'll see you again."

Rosemary patted his back soothingly. "If I'm not swamped, maybe I'll give you a call."

"Really?" Romeo rarely received calls from her. In the six months they'd known each other, the calls from Rosemary could be counted on one hand.

"If I find the time, I'll call. Once everything settles down, maybe we can head back home together."

Rosemary wasn't one to make such offers before, nor did she seem to care this much about his feelings.

Romeo felt a wave of comfort wash over him, his gaze soft as water. "Deal."

Just as Rosemary was about to seal the agreement, Romeo's lips met hers again.
