The Unveiled Rose

Rowena had been frustrated since returning home last night. She'd never thought Zane-her own son-dared to speak to her like that!

After calming down throughout the night, her mood gradually improved. She dialed Sasha's number and instructed, "Zane thinks of Annalise as a nanny. Don't overthink it. He doesn't actually like her." Sasha didn't believe it. She had clearly seen it that day. The way Zane looked at Annalise...

Usually, his gaze was cold when looking at people who weren't important. But when he looked at Annalise, his eyes were filled with a warm smile.

If that wasn't love, what else could it be? Hate?

Sasha was beautiful, and her family background was good. Many men liked her, but she was rarely interested in them. When she finally found someone she liked, she set aside her pride and took the initiative to pursue Zane. However, Zane remained indifferent!

Sasha had already given up on him. "It has nothing to do with me!"

She believed she would definitely find someone better than Zane. "In the future, don't tell me anything related to him. I'm not interested!"

Rowena couldn't believe her ears. "You're giving up on Zane?"

Sasha replied, "Mm!"

Rowena still wanted to persuade Sasha, but the latter had already hung up the phone.

...

Sasha stood across from Huxham Corporation, hiding herself and staring intently at the entrance.

Although she had decided to give up on Zane, she still wanted to know. What was it about Annalise that made her better than her? Why did Zane choose Annalise over someone as outstanding as herself?

...

With some time left before picking up Willow, I wanted to continue working. But Zane insisted that I rest.

I knew he was concerned about me, but playing on my phone felt too boring. So, I suggested going downstairs for a walk.

Zane was afraid I might secretly work while he wasn't looking, so he had me bring him a cup of coffee.

I was helpless, so I went downstairs and walked into the café, ordering a cup of coffee for Zane.

"I don't understand..."

I heard someone speaking and instinctively turned around.

I saw Sasha size me up. "Why does Zane prefer staying in the office with you every day but won't spend even a little more time with me?"

I didn't answer her question but smiled and asked, "Is love the only thing in your world? Don't you have a career to work on?"

Sasha was caught off guard by my question.

I continued, "When it comes to careers, hard work and consistency will lead to rewards. But love isn't the same. Sometimes, you give your all to be with your partner, but will they be loyal to you for a lifetime? Will they love you forever?" Sasha's gaze gradually became uncertain.

At that moment, the coffee was ready.

I picked it up, and I said seriously as I walked past Sasha, "You're still young. You should really think about what you want."

Sasha watched my retreating figure.

It seemed like she finally understood what Zane saw in me.
