The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 471

Zane gazed at me. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he didn't.

I asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Zane questioned casually, "Aren't you jealous?"

"Jealous? Why?" I was confused.

Zane said hesitantly, "If I plan to mentor Sage, I'm going to work very closely with her."

"I trust you, and I trust her, too," I said with determination.

I continued, "Since you've chosen me, I'm sure you won't fall in love with someone else. She doesn't even trust her own family and only trusts herself. That means she won't rely on a man to change her fate. I don't think she will fall in love with you."

But when Zane heard my answer, he was a little upset. He grumbled, "But I want to see you get jealous."

I chuckled and played along, saying, "Well, I do feel a little uncomfortable when I see your interactions with other females."

Zane's gaze softened after he heard that. He said, "But the one I love is you."

I was surprised by that response.

Zane rubbed my hair and said, "I'll get back to work."

"Okay."

I went back to focusing on illustrating my comics. The past few days had been busy, and I wished I could spend all my time in the office doing nothing but illustrating comics.
