The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 132

After hanging up the phone, Zane walked over to me. "Can you accompany us there tonight?"

I inclined my head a little. "Of course."

Zane sat down next to me, taking the initiative to talk about Willow's grandparents.

He talked about the past with a tone of reflection. "Ever since Willow's mother passed away, her grandparents have been greatly affected. As such, their health deteriorated."

I wasn't sure how I could comfort him when I said, "Maybe if they spend more time with Willow, they'll get better."

A faint smile crossed Zane's face. "I hope so."

He got up, suggesting, "Let's go have lunch."

We didn't go to the cafeteria at the company today, either. Zane led me to a nearby restaurant and ordered a few dishes. He then remarked, "These are the restaurant's signature dishes."

Since he had worked in the area for years now, he was very familiar with the nearby restaurants.
