Chapter Forty-Nine
After saying their goodbyes to Mr. Miller, Rome and Catherine got into her car, and Rome drove off.
Five minutes into the drive, he stared at Catherine and mumbled, "So, what's the plan?"
"I don't know. Maybe we can find the nearest boutique and get something to wear." Catherine said, still feeling depressed about the conversation that she had with a father.
Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Rome kept silent, giving her the space she needed.
After driving for a while, he stopped in front of a boutique that he knew very well.
"We are here." Rome said, unbuckling his seat belt.
Then he looked at Catherine, struggling with hers, and he leaned in towards her and unfastened her belt.
"Thanks," Catherine whispered.

"Yes… Well, no. But I will be."
"Okay, we should head in."

Then she folded her arms and mumbled, “How pathetic.” “Grandma, your useless son-in-law has become daring and ignorant.

Then, after getting over their shock, the guests started to whisper to each other. “You think you know a person until they show you their true color.” A lady said out loud. “Oh, yes! How can a child be so black-hearted to his family?” A fellow uttered. Following his remarks were numerous comments about how terrible Jeff's action was. Their words anger Mr. Barlow, and when he gazed at his grandson, rage was the only emotion he felt. “You have shamed this family to a great degree!” Mr. Barlow coldly mumbled, balling his hand into a fist. “Grandfather, I can explain. It's all Chloe's fault that I did what I did! I burned it first because she was going to do it!” Jeff shouted as the police handcuff him. The sound of mumbling rose in the room, and one of the guests said, “I neve

Since the other family members had not arrived in the dining room, it was just Catherine, Rome, and him. “You are out?” Catherine mumbled, feeling her heartbeat increasing.
