I'll Come Back, Always

Chapter 14

Lorenzo's POV

"Lorenzo, wake up." I heard my lovely wife call me. I opened my eyes immediately, but she is frowning? Why?

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" I asked, adjusting to the light in the room. Covering my eyes with my arm for a bit.

"What do you mean by what's wrong? There's a letter that came in for you and I think it's something important, so you should probably get your butt out of bed and go look through it, right now." I frowned at what she said. For the past four days we have been here, on vacation for our honeymoon, nothing was sent here and I asked for exactly that, unless it's a real emergency. And by the attitude I just got from Roseanne, it's something really urgent.

I groaned and got out of bed, it's a good thing we are dressed and all, though that I wouldn't mind staring at her all day, but that's not the most important thing, for now. Running my hand through my hair, that is a mess.

I walked over to Roseanne and hugged her, giving her a kiss. She shut her eyes tightly but hugged me back anyways, I pulled away and let out a laugh. Adorable.

"Go." She hit my shoulder gently, cheeks turning a darker shade. "It's on the dining table." I chuckled and nodded, pulling her with me.

I sat down on a chair and she did the same. There is already a cup of coffee and a plate of omelet waiting for me with the letter, untouched, next to my breakfast. This annoys me, I thought I told them don't interrupt my honeymoon. This bunch of useless dimwits, what were they doing when I told them what to do. But since they did send it here, I wonder what this is about.

"Thank you." I pecked her cheek and she returned a smile. I could feel my heart dropping in my stomach, she's so gorgeous. Ugh, focus Lorenzo.

"You want to brush your teeth first then eat?" She raised a brow at me. Oh right, I totally forgot about that, I was told to just get up and read this letter, and I wonder who told me to just come read this thing. Oh yeah, it was also her.

"I'll do that." I stood up and walked to the bathroom in our bedroom, where all of our things are located. Once I returned back to the kitchen, Roseanne also had a cup she was sipping on while waiting for me, her hair fell effortlessly down to her waist, curled lightly.

"What are you drinking?" I sat down.

"Milk." She replied simply.

"I thought you like to drink warm water in the morning?" I bit into my omelet.

"Well I already had my breakfast so it doesn't really matter that much anymore." She turned her gaze to me. "Shouldn't you be doing something right now?"

I nodded and opened up the letter. And I immediately frowned. Why is Romeo writing me a letter when all he could have done is send one to my secretary, which is Andrew if you are wondering.

Dear General Bastorio,

My deep apologies to write to you during this special time, I know you have important things to do (We both know what that is). Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on your marriage, I never thought that our baby brother would get married so fast! I'm still single you know. I'm sure that the girl you married is a wonderful person inside and out, when you come back I would love to meet her in person. I would truly want to meet the girl who made Mr. Iceburg melt.
But the actual reason that I had to interrupt your lovely honeymoon, which I don't regret at all, is that there are big problems happening here at the battlefields. Though we both are known to be exceptional commanders when it comes to war, we both know that there are problems we can't control. Apparently, there has been a disease spreading among our soldiers, we have isolated those who have symptoms in one large tent and have medical professionals taking action, but we still need yours and the city halls consent to have outside doctors come here and start investigating and treat the soldiers.
Please send a reply back to the address this letter was sent out from with your official consent. And once again, congratulations my dear friend. Though I do not recommend coming back until the disease dies completely which hopefully won't take too long, I wish to see you soon.
