Chapter 1058 - The Public Apology (1/2)

After they reached the Fournier mansion, Rose retreated to her bedroom, saying she had a headache. Rune understood that Rose must want to have an alone time after what happened. So, he bid her goodnight and went to his room too.

He took a refreshing shower and decided to go to the kitchen and made tea for himself. With a cup of tea in his hand, the man went back up to his room and talked to Terry and asked about their plans tomorrow.

”Oh, JM and I will go sightsee some more, and in three days we will go back to the states,” said Terry. ”What about you?”

”Hmm... maybe I will go home to Stuttgart and see my family,” said Rune. ”I have enough of Medion this week. And Rose said she wants to go with me.”

”She did?” Terry became excited. ”So... are you planning to tell her who you are?”

”She knows who I am now,” said Rune. ”I already told her that I am Rune Schneider from THE Schneider family.”

”No, not that one, silly...” Terry chuckled. ”I mean... does she know who you REALLY are? When she sees your parents... what do you think she will say?”

”Oh.. that one,” Rune chuckled too. Terry just reminded him that Rose might freak out if she knew he was an immortal. He had not got the chance to tell her this.

Besides, he couldn't just let any woman he was dating know that actually he was a forty-year-old man who looked 25, and will never age for the rest of his life because he was an immortal... unless he was sure that she was the one.

Truth be told, Rune was sure he loved Rose and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. But... he must not share the information and divulge his family's secret if Rose was not going to accept him to be her husband.

He would only tell her everything after she was sure of her feelings and knew that she loved Rune and wanted to be with him. Rune could wait for the day to come.

He would be patient.

”I have my own plans,” he replied to Terry.

Yeah, he had no choice. He couldn't introduce Caspar and Finland as his parents to Rose. Not yet. Later, after Rose and he were more serious in their relationship, he would open up to her and tell her EVERYTHING.

”Good if you know what to do,” said Terry. ”I am just worried about you.”

”Thanks, but you don't have to worry about me. I am an a.d.u.l.t,” Rune chuckled. ”I know how things work.”

They spoke a bit more, while Rune finished his tea, before he finally ended the call.

The next day, Rose told her parents about her plan to spend some time with Rune in Germany for a holiday.

”Where are you going in Germany?” Duchess Fournier asked. She suspected that her daughter wanted to flee their country to avoid more gossip.

She heard some people talked in the wedding reception that the Schneiders sent their representative to the wedding and were curious if they came for Rose Fournier's sake since she was dating their son.

The duchess turned pale when she heard their question and just smiled - pretended not to answer because she wanted to look humble - when in reality, she was so embarrassed.

This was it...
