The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 248

Penelope and Willow had a great time playing until 9:00 pm.

Suzy had no choice but to urge Penelope, saying that it was time to head home now. After all, they needed to sleep earlier since she had work the next day, whereas Penelope needed to attend kindergarten. Penelope reluctantly let go of Willow's hand. "Then, let's play again tomorrow, okay?"

To show her sincerity, Willow nodded fervently.

Since Liam was still lurking like a predator, we decided to accompany her, worried about Suzy going home alone with a child.

Zane didn't deny it, calmly saying, "She is Willow's mother, after all."

As Suzy noticed that I was staying silent, she asked, "Do you have plans to get married?"

I answered honestly, "Not at the moment."
