A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 179

When the bright light from the sun shone in his face, Rome immediately opened his eyes, staring at Catherine standing at the window.

"Why is the sun so bright this early?" Rome moaned, shifting over to the other side of the bed.

"Oh, it's because it's noon and not morning." Catherine casually uttered.

Immediately Rome sat up, gazing at her in disbelief. Then he softly cried, "Babe what did you do?"

"I turn off the alarm and your phone so you can rest today, and judging from the time you woke up, I made the right decision," Catherine explained while watching his face change emotions with every word she uttered.

Frustrated, Rome pushed the blanket off him, buried his face into his palms, and mumbled, "Babe, babe babe, Ahhh, why would you do that?!"

When he lifted his head to gaze at her, Catherine pouted and pitifully uttered, "I thought I just explained it to you."

Staring at the innocent look on her face, Rome started laughing out his frustration. Then he got out of bed and walked over to the closet door.

As he was about to open it, Catherine frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Trying to get a suit for work," Rome replied, stopping in his tracks.

"But I have already cleared my schedule to spend the day with you."

"Hmmm,"

Hesitating for a moment, Rome squeezed his eyes shut, drawing in a deep breath, and then turned around to gaze at her.

"Okay. I guess we are both staying home today." Rome said, giving her a warm smile.

"Yes!!! Okay, Nora already has some healthy meals prepared for you! Soo… after you freshen up, you should come downstairs." Catherine calmly intoned as she returned a smile.

Although Rome's face looked calm on the outside, within, he was frustrated as he thought, 'How am I going to keep the news about 'Big Daddy,' from her and go after him at the same time.'

A couple of minutes after having his meal, Rome returned to the room. Then he stopped in his tracks, staring in disbelief at Catherine in the comfort of their bed, reading a book.

When she felt his eyes on her, Catherine raised her gaze, looked at him, and casually said, "Your pills,"

Swaying his gaze to where she was pointing, Rome sighed as he stared at the glass of water next to the pill bottles on the table and whispered, "I feel like I'm ten years old right now."

After taking his medicine, he looked back at Catherine with a look of excitement in his eyes and asked, "So what's the plan for today?"

"Total relaxation," Catherine calmly uttered, patting the space beside her without looking away from page forty-two of, "He was never mine."

"Babe, you can't be serious,"

"Is there anything better than spending some quality time with your lovely wife who is traumatized after learning that she almost lost you last night?"

Without uttering any word, Rome walked over to the bed, crawled under the sheets, and laid down.

Not hesitating, Catherine rested her head on his chest and then swiped to a new page.

"You got a pillow," Rome teased as he looked at the wording in the book.

"It's not warm or sexy like your chest," Catherine slyly whispered, changing her head position on Rome's chest as she tried to find the most comfortable spot.

Pushing her off him, Rome tried not to laugh as he said, “Your head is too heavy, and it's hurting my chest. Go back to your pillow!"

With her brows clenched, Catherine playfully swung her book at him, hitting Rome in his face.

"Ouch, do you want to ruin my face so no other woman can look at me again!" Rome teased, giggling at her pissed expression.

"You prick!" Catherine shouted as she climbed above him, locking both his wrist in her grips with a frown on her face.

"What! If one day you wake up and say you don't want me anymore, I will need this face you know."

"Well then, you don't need it because I'm never, ever, divorcing you!"

"Really?"

"Really,"

A soft smile surfaced on Catherine's lips when Rome grinned at her.

Then she let go of his hands and ran her fingers through his hair as her face grew closer to his.
