The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 661 Zane was worried Annalise might read too much into it. She could start wondering if he was still keeping his distance or worse, if he was just using her.

But saying he wanted a child? That would be a problem, too.

Annalise had once fallen from an upper floor, and the injuries were so severe that she could no longer have children. Zane didn't want to upset her by bringing it up, so after thinking it over, he decided to stay quiet.

He glanced at Annalise, who looked a little puzzled. Smiling, he asked, "After all this time together, what do you think of me?"

I wasn't one to hold back on praise.

"You're wonderful!" I said.

Honestly, Zane was the kind of man most people could only dream of. He was handsome and incredibly good at making money.

At work, he was all business and determination, yet at home, he was nothing but a gentle presence for his family.

Sometimes, just the thought of being with someone like Zane made me feel like the luckiest person alive-almost like I was in a dream.
