Chapter 423 I was amazed how Zane could always find good restaurants like this. Zane stared atfor a while. After making sure that I enjoyed the food, he looked away. After the meal, we left the restaurant.
Zane held my hand. I turned to him and asked, "Are we going back to work?" Zane answered, "No. Let's go for a walk. A lot has happened lately, and I think we haven't talked as much as we used to. We should take advantage of this opportunity to talk more. After all, our relationship is the priority over work and money." I never expected a man to prioritize a relationship so much. I thought only women would be so sensitive to emotions while men were focused on work.

Zane was willing to take tto build our relationship because... he loved me.
When I was married to Steven, he was always stingy about communicating with me. That was because he never loved me, and of course, he never valued me.
After gaining sclarity, I felt my mood lift. I said, "You're right!" We walked side-by-side along the quiet street, with only the birds chirping away. Without the need to work at the moment, I could enjoy the silence. Suddenly, I thought living a peaceful life like this would be nice.
Zane asked gently, "Have you ever thought of your life after retirement?" I replied, "No, but I enjoy drawing now. Long ago, I've been thinking that I should draw for life. So, for as long as I'm alive, and as long as I can draw, I will continue to draw." Zane hadn't expectedto be so passionate about my career. He said, "That's good." After expressing my thoughts, I asked, "What about you?" "I'm thinking of having a small garden next to the villa," said Zane.
After so long in the industry, Zane had long lost his passion. If it weren't for the livelihoods of his many employees, Zane might have already retired from work to live a simpler life.

Meanwhile, I will be farming away in the garden. Life will be great QUMS
As I imagined what Zane had described, I also began to long for that future. "Yeah." "Willow would be 30 years old then. I would have to ask about her marriage plans," Zane said plainly. Willow may still be young, but these were things that Willow had to experience.
"Given her identity and status, finding somebody who genuinely loved her would be difficult. Most would think they can find a shortcut to life by marrying her. They would only consider her a stepping stone to a better life. "If she wants to get married, I hope she will meet a partner who genuinely loves her." Zane was determined to keep a lookout for Willow. After all, he had a keen eye.
Zane added, "It's fine if she doesn't want to get married, but she must know what it would cost to stay single. Then, she can make her decision." After expressing his thoughts, Zane looked at me. I nodded in agreement and said, "It seems like you're a very open-minded parent." After hearing that, Zane chuckled and asked, "What do you think, then?"
