The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 451

Leah said calmly, "Of course, that's no problem."

With the teacher's approval, Willow held Penelope's hand and headed upstairs. Their excitement was evident as they ran up the stairs, completely forgetting their earlier fears of Leah.

Leah said to Zane with a serious expression. "Don't worry. Since I've accepted your payment, I'll make sure they learn something."

"I'm just glad you're willing to share your knowledge with them," he replied.

Leah was a reputable figure in the industry. It was rare for anyone to be able to hire her, regardless of the amount offered. They wouldn't have had a chance to talk to her if she hadn't been cash-strapped recently. Leah relaxed a little upon learning of Zane's trust in her. "Thank you," she said.

Meanwhile, the two children played with toy airplanes as they ran down the stairs.

Given their young age, Leah explained the principles behind their toys in simple terms. Willow and Penelope listened intently and occasionally asked questions when they didn't understand.

Leah had initially thought she would just be playing with the kids, but she was pleasantly surprised by how seriously they were taking it. This made her even happier, and she eagerly shared everything they wanted to know.
