"Inform my parents that I’m going out with Sage," Katelyn ordered the maid in her service. She picked up her clutch and walked to the palace’s foyer, where Sage stood outside his car.
He was flabbergasted to see her in the party dress, a black bodycon with a high slit on the left side.
"I hope I didn’t make you wait too long," Katelyn said.
"You didn’t," Sage replied, opening the door for her. Katelyn climbed in and began fastening her seatbelt while Sage entered the car from the other side.
"Whose party is this?" Katelyn asked. "You made the plan at the last moment, didn’t you?"
"It’s one of my close friends. And no, it wasn’t last minute, he invited me last week," Sage answered.
"I see. I wanted to refuse to come, but then I was too happy," Katelyn admitted.
"Because the little prince is born, right?" Sage asked.
"Yes! You should’ve come to see Noah. He’s so tiny and adorable, Sage. I became an aunt. You know, I touched his hands and feet, they were so tiny," Katelyn said, smiling brightly in joy.
Sage who was driving the car out of the palace’s premises smiled to hear her. "It seems you like babies a lot," he said.
"Yes, I do," Katelyn answered with radiant eyes. "I want babies too."
Sage glanced at her for a second before focusing his gaze ahead. "Of course, we will have adorable young buns once we get married," she asserted.
"What?" Katelyn shot back a glance at him.
"You said you wanted babies," Sage replied.
"Yes, but... Just don’t speak," Katelyn told him, shaking her head. "By the way, how do you look? I must look the most beautiful in the party."
"Are you saying you want everyone’s eyes on you?" Sage muttered.
"I’m the Princess!" Katelyn replied. "Of course, every eye should be on me. By the way, I am going to miss Noah. I have to go back to San Ravendale tomorrow. Amelie can’t step out with the baby for a month, so they will be here until then."
"Well, work can’t be compromised," Sage replied.
"That’s true." Katelyn leaned her head back against the seat, crossing her arms across her chest. She said nothing more, simply waiting for the long drive to end.
At last, after an hour on the road, they arrived. The hotel loomed ahead, its façade glowing under cascades of golden lights that shimmered against the night sky. A red carpet had been laid at the entrance, and cars lined the drive.
Sage parked, and as soon as Katelyn stepped out, he was already by her side. Handing the keys to the waiting chauffeur, he reached for her hand.
"Here," Sage said, passing her a gift bag tied with a satin ribbon. "Present this to Miguel. He’s just launched another jewelry brand."
"Shouldn’t you give it yourself?" Katelyn asked, brows knitting in confusion.
"Yes, if I were alone," Sage replied smoothly. "But you’re with me, so you should give it."
