A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 194

After turning off her computer, Catherine gazed to the right and stared at Rome, sleeping on the couch in her office.

Instantly, her lips curved into a smile, and she rested her chin, staring adorably at him as she mumbled, "Aww, he looks so cute in that position."

For a while, she stayed like that, watching him without losing her bright smile, almost like she was falling in love with him all over again with every passing second.

Finally, after a couple of minutes had gone by, she picked up her phone, stuffed it into her bag, and grabbed her coat off the rack.

After wearing it, she approached the couch, squatted, and looked at Rome's closed eyelids.

"Hon, it's time to get going," Catherine mumbled, tapping Rome on his arm.

When she gently hit his hand for the third time, Rome slowly raised his lashes, shifted his head to the left, and looked deep into her eyes.

"With everything that is happening, do you regret marrying me?" Rome asked with a straight face.

Not even hesitating for a second, Catherine drew her brows together and firmly uttered, "Never!"

When Rome didn't say anything, Catherine faintly smiled and said, "I want to have it all with you. The joy, the pain, the fear, the disappointment, and every other thing that comes with life, I want to spend the rest of my days with you, and go through them with you as my better half."

Keeping his silence, Rome sat up on the couch, leaned closer towards her face, and said, "I swear to do my best to keep you safe in all of this."

"But I want you to promise to protect yourself first," Catherine whispered with a look of sadness in her eyes.

Without uttering a word, Rome leaned towards her forehead and kissed it, shutting his eyelids.

"Rome, you didn't swear!" Catherine mumbled, suppressing the suffocating feeling she felt.

A while later, the ride to Mr. Ford's mansion was quiet as Catherine kept eyeing Rome, feeling a dull throb in her chest over the fact that he didn't promise her like she wanted him to, and she just knew that he was willing to risk it all to keep her safe.

A couple of minutes later, William brought the car to a stop in the yard, and Mr. Orlando parked a few distances beside him.

After K opened the back door, Catherine got down and then Rome followed her out.

Even though he knew what the stares he was getting from her meant, he pretended not to know because he understood that he couldn't keep a promise like that at such a critical time.

The moment they walked through the front door a couple of seconds later, the frown on Catherine's face instantly faded as she watched Mr. Miller rushing over to them.

When he got closer, he wrapped his hands around Catherine, embracing her tightly into his arms, and cried, "Oh my precious daughter-in-law."

Looking at his father, Rome scratched his brow as he teasingly said, "What about you dearest son that gave you a beloved daughter-in-law. No hugs for me too?"

When Mr. Miller didn't stop hugging Catherine or look his way, he slightly shook his head and mumbled, "Alright. She is you guys' favorite. I get it."

A giggle escaped Mr. Miller's lips as he let go of Catherine while she chuckled widely at her husband's petty jealousy.

"Come here," Mr. Miller heartily said, widening his arms.

Then Rome buried himself in his father's arms, and Mr. Miller gave him a few manly pats on his back.

After withdrawing from his father's embrace, a look of confusion crossed Rome's face, and he blurted out, "Don't take this the wrong way, dad. But what are you doing here?"

"I invited him over." Mr. Ford said as he approached them.
