The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 560

Zane's caption read, "Little moments."

Zane was normally stoic and reserved, and he hardly ever posted on social media before now. When his photos began garnering attention online, his followers commented, "Is the little girl your daughter, Mr. Huxham?" He replied, "Yes."

"And the beautiful woman in the back-is she your wife?" someone asked.

Zane glanced at me before replying, "She will be."

He was dating Annalise now, but it was obvious he wanted more out of their relationship. He wanted them to move forward as a couple and become husband and wife.

The comments that poured in were more or less the netizens' sentimental musings. One of them wrote, "Mr. Huxham was single for so long that we were led to believe he was a workaholic who would never marry. In reality, he just hadn't met the right person until now." Zane gave me another look, his eyes glittering with mild amusement.
