NovelEnglishChapter 126 Zane's voice was cold as he said, "The teachers said that they had no idea about it either." My mood becmuch gloomier.
In other words, Willow was being isolated in kindergarten. Yet, they had no clue about it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI thought for a moment before saying, "Then let's start with her classmates. Since they're the ones isolating Willow, they must know the reason." Zane looked at me, replying, "Yeah, sure." "But then..." After thinking it over, I decided to make myself clear to him. "Before, I always thought we couldn't force Willow to improve quicker and that we could take things slow.
"However, things that have happened lately have changed my view." I looked straight into Zane's eyes, saying, "I think the most important thing to do right now is to help her learn to talk to others. What do you think?" Zane nodded. "I think so, too." "However, she has tried but just can't seem to communicate with strangers." I calmly concluded, "I have a feeling that if someone she likes is in front of her, she'll be more likely to speak. Is there anyone else in the family she likes?" Zane, who had raised Willow single-handedly, naturally knew who she liked well. "Her maternal grandparents." I asked, "Then, should we bring her grandparents here tomorrow?" Without hesitation, Zane answered, "Sure." Now that we had reached an agreement, I planned to go back to my room to work overtime. Just as I turned around and took two steps, Zane grabbed my wrist.
I looked back in surprise.
Zane awkwardly let go. His ears turned red as he looked toward the stars in the sky. "Stay for a chat." I didn't refuse and leaned on the railing. "Okay." Zane wanted to say something but could not find the words. When it cto work matters, he could handle it all, so there was no need to talk about it with me.
As for matters concerning his feelings, he wasn't sure when a certain someone would consider finding a new partner.
After waiting a long tfor Zane to speak, I realized that a man like him, who put all his focus on work, probably didn't know what topics to bring up in a casual conversation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI took the initiative and asked the question that all the employees at the company were curious about, "Why don't you have a girlfriend yet?" When I first joined the company, everyone suspected that I was his girlfriend. That showed just how much everyone cared about his love life.
I continued, "Did you get your feelings hurt when you were younger or..." Zane straightened his back, awkwardly explaining, "I've never been in a relationship." I looked at him in disbelief. "That can't be possible, right?" A man like him who was not only handsbut also smart should've been very popular in school!
"When I was still in school, I only focused on studying. I didn't have tto think about anything else.
While he spoke, he made sure to watch for the reaction of the woman beside him.
He continued, "Then, I took over the family business after graduation, and many people didn't accept me. In order to gain their recognition, I had to put any attention and tinto work. After finally establishing myself in the company..." That was when something unexpected happened. Zane didn't think much of it now, but at the time, it was a very stressful period for him. He added with a smile, "Then, Willow's parents had their incident. I had to work and raise a child, so I really didn't have the tfor dating." He undoubtedly had walked a long and hard road to be here.
With one hand resting on the railing and my face propped on it, I lazily asked, "Now that things have calmed down, shouldn't ev you be able to date?" Hearing this, Zane glanced atinstinctively before looking away. "I'm in no rush." "Anna, I think my life is pretty good just the way it is," he said.
