The Unveiled Rose

I would rather use this time to relax than listen to someone I can't stand say disgusting things.

Steven stood silent, staring at his phone for a long time.

Ever since Zachary said Annalise was kind-hearted, he had assumed she wouldn't bear to see him sad. He thought she would eventually forgive him.

It was only at this moment that Steven suddenly snapped out of it. "So, what should I do for you to forgive me?"

"You don't need to do anything," I answered firmly. "Because there's no possibility for us anymore."

I hung up the phone and lay back on the bed, pouting.

I had already blocked his number, yet he still found a way to contact me. He was truly persistent.

Unfortunately, his efforts were misguided.

But enough about him. I should focus on whether I should bring something when I visit my mom tomorrow and how to explain it to her so that she won't be angry. I placed my hand over my eyes and sighed.

In my mother's eyes, I was someone who should never have gotten a divorce. But I didn't listen to her.

She would definitely give me an earful.

...

I got up early in the morning and washed up.

As I walked out of the bedroom, I saw Zane standing at the door.

He was wearing a deep blue silk pajama, which made him appear even more elegant. He stepped forward and held my hand.

I looked at our intertwined hands, still not entirely used to it.

Before him, I had only dated one man-Steven.

Steven's level of selfishness surpassed that of most people. During our six years together, he rarely took the initiative to hold my hand or kiss me.

Over time, I slowly got used to it. I even thought that this was what normal relationships were like.

That was until I met Zane. As long as we were in the same place and weren't busy with work, he would always find a way to get closer, either to hug me or hold my hand. He was completely different from Steven.

Zane asked, "What are you looking at?"

I answered honestly, "I'm looking at you."

Zane stopped by Willow's room and gazed at me with his dark eyes. "Oh?"

I explained, "I just suddenly realized what a normal relationship is supposed to look like after we confirmed our relationship."All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Zane lowered his gaze and looked at me, a pleased laugh escaping his throat.

Before he could speak, the bedroom door suddenly opened.

Willow stood at the door, looking at our intertwined hands. "You two should tone it down a bit when I'm around."

"Okay," I said, letting go of Zane's hand.

Willow immediately took my hand and led me into the bedroom. "Mommy, from now on, you need to show me more love when I'm around, or I'll get jealous."

I understood what she was worried about. "Willow, it's not about showing it. I really love you."

Willow tried to keep a serious face but couldn't help smiling. "Okay then."

"By the way, when does your kindergarten event start?" I asked calmly.

Willow wasn't sure. "Probably next week."

Since my work schedule wasn't fixed, it was fine for me to go to the event first and then make up for it the next day.

I pinched Willow's cheek. "On that day, I'll definitely make time to be with you."

Willow was thrilled. After finishing up in the bathroom, she looked at Zane. "Daddy, do you have time next week?" she asked.
