The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 126

Zane's voice was cold as he said, "The teachers said that they had no idea about it either."

My mood became much gloomier.

In other words, Willow was being isolated in kindergarten. Yet, they had no clue about it.

I 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."
