Rowena curiously asked, "Why are you calling so late? What's going on?" "I'm in love with someone," Zane replied, not intending to hide anything. "Mom, when I bring her home, I hope you'll treat her well." Rowena sounded surprised. "When did you get a girlfriend?" Zane answered casually, "I haven't even asked her out yet. I'm just giving you a heads-up." Rowena suddenly had a bad feeling. "This wouldn't happen to be your nanny, would it?" Zane corrected her, "She's not a nanny. She's Willow's mom." The confirmation made Rowena bristle. "Absolutely not! I won't agree to this!" "You don't get a say. It's my choice," Zane replied calmly.
Rowena continued to argue, "She's been married with a child. Her family situation isn't great, and she's not right for you!" "I don't see it that way," Zane replied coolly.
After a pause, he added, "Letwarn you don't cause her any trouble. If you do, I'll cut off everyone's allowance." Rowena was taken aback by how firmly Zane stood by Annalise. "Is she really worth it?" "Yes," Zane said without a hint of hesitation.

When Zachary returned home, Chloe immediately rushed over. "Did you eat outside?" Zachary forced a smile. "Mr. Thompson ordered takeout for me. I'm full. Don't worry, Grandma." Chloe watched him closely, sensing something was off. "You've been looking down lately. What happened?" Zachary shook his head. "Nothing." "No. Something's off," Chloe pressed. "You and Jessica used to be inseparable. You'd rather be with her than with your mother. Now that your mother's out of the picture, shouldn't you be sticking close to Jessica?" Zachary remained silent.
Chloe continued, "Yet here you are, choosing to stay withinstead of going back. Is it because you've stopped liking her?"
