The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 349

Even if Zane wanted to be intimate with me, he didn't have the time for it. He looked at me, sighed, then withdrew his gaze and buried himself in his work.

…

Once he finished his work, it was time to pick up Willow. I gathered my things and walked over to Zane. "Shall we go?"

Zane stood up and took my hand. "Okay."

It felt strange seeing our hands intertwined.

I had been married to Steven for many years, and he had never gotten used to holding my hand or hugging me in front of others. He wasn't even willing to show any signs of affection.

When I asked him why, he said it was because he was the CEO of Pelham Group and couldn't appear too frivolous.

But Zane was completely different. He wanted to hold my hand wherever we went. He never cared about other people's opinions.

I was confused. "Aren't you afraid that people will see us like this and hurt your image?"

Zane replied without a second thought, "Of course not. I think they'll just envy me for being able to find such a wonderful girlfriend."

That was an answer I had never considered. I was stunned for a while before saying, "I see."

He and Steven were completely different people. I shouldn't compare him to Steven.

I felt a lot more at ease after realizing this.

…

We had barely been at the kindergarten for two minutes when Willow and Penelope came out, happily holding hands.

When Penelope saw Suzy, she jogged over to greet her.

Then, Willow approached me and said, "Mommy, can we invite Penelope and her mom over to our house to play?"

To ensure Suzy's safety, the bodyguard had to have good character. After considering it, Zane realized that Howard, the family's martial arts coach, would be the most suitable person for the job.

He suddenly remembered something and added, "You probably just need him to drive you to work and bring you home in the evening, right?"

Suzy nodded. "Yes."

"If you have any other needs, feel free to mention them," Zane said calmly. "If Howard's schedule doesn't allow it, we can look for another bodyguard."

Suzy had interacted with Howard before and felt he was a good fit. "Let's go with him."

Zane responded, "Alright."

Once they got home, Howard, as usual, led the family in training. Afterward, he went over the basics, and once everything was finished, I led Suzy and the two kids back to the living room.

Zane asked Howard, "How is your family's health now?"
