The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 423

I was amazed how Zane could always find good restaurants like this. Zane stared at me for a while. After making sure that I enjoyed the food, he looked away. After the meal, we left the restaurant.

Zane held my hand. I turned to him and asked, "Are we going back to work?"

Zane answered, "No. Let's go for a walk. A lot has happened lately, and I think we haven't talked as much as we used to. We should take advantage of this opportunity to talk more. After all, our relationship is the priority over work and money."

But after getting to know Zane, I realized there wasn't a great difference between men and women. The difference lay in love, or the lack of it.
