A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 70

Time moved at a natural pace, and it was finally the day of Chloe's wedding.

That morning, a loud banged on the door caused Catherine to jump out of her sleep.

Then she looked at Rome, and at that moment his eyelids rose and their eyes locked.

“Catherine!” Edward's voice echoed from outside the room.

Knowing that it was her father at the door, Catherine was about to rush out of the bed when Rome grabbed her wrist, causing her to stop and look at him.

“Do you still feel the same way that you felt at the party?” Rome asked with his eyes fixed on hers.

Although she was confused for a moment, Catherine finally understood the question, and she answered, “Yes, I don't want to go to the wedding.”

“Good. Then let me answer the door.” Rome calmly said.

Nodding slightly, Catherine smiled and mumbled, “Okay,”

Afterward, Rome left the bed and walked to the door. Then he opened it and gazed at Edward.

“Good morning, father-in-law?” Rome casually said while staring into his angry eyes.

“Where is my daughter?” Edward roughly intoned, ignoring his greeting.

“She's asleep. Is there a problem?”

“Yes, there is! Today is her cousin's wedding. She is supposed to be with her family and not in bed, especially not with you!”

With a carefree expression, Rome sighed and said, “My wife doesn't want to go to the wedding and as her husband, I support her decision. So yeah, she's staying home with me.”

“You rascal! Catherine was humble before she met you, and now she has become a totally different person!” Edward lashed out.

“Nah, she's the same Catherine, but she is finally being true to her emotions and not keeping it all inside.”

“I don't care what you say, but you are wrong for Catherine!”

“No one is more right for your daughter than me. You should keep that in mind.”

Frowning at Rome, Edward tried looking over his shoulder as he screamed, “Catherine! Get dressed and let's go!”

“I apologize for this father-in-law, but I have to close the door,” Rome mumbled.

After his remark, he slightly bowed before slowly closing the door in Edward’s face.

Then he turned around, gazed at Catherine, and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I couldn't be anymore better,” Catherine said with a faint smile.

A few minutes later, everyone left the mansion, and Rome and Catherine were the only ones in the family who were still at home.

“Do you want to get out of here and get something to eat?” Rome asked as he wore his sweatshirt.

“Yes,” Catherine said in excitement.

Right at that instant, Rome’s phone buzzed, so he forgot about wearing his sock, walked over to the bed, and picked it up.

The moment he answered the call, he heard Brook say, “Boss, we have eyes and ears in the wedding venue.”

“Good. Keep me updated.” Rome said, and then he ended the call.

When he dropped the phone back on the bed, he noticed Catherine staring at him, and he smiled at her before focusing on wearing his sock.

The ten limousines arrived at the wedding venue and they came to a stop. Then the doors opened and the Barlow family got out and headed into the hotel.

The ballroom of the hotel was being used for the ceremony, but the family members headed to their various rooms to get prepared for the wedding, which was scheduled to start in a few hours.
