The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 130

Steven was stumped by Gavin's questions.

After a long silence, he finally said, "You're right."

Gavin let out a sigh of relief.

Steven then said, "From now on, I'll focus all of my attention on Jessica. I'll cherish every minute and every second with her. Maybe if I do this, I'll stop thinking about Annalise, and my mood will improve as well."

Gavin agreed, saying, "That's the spirit!"

After finishing today's tasks, I packed up my things before walking over to the floor-to-ceiling windows, seriously pondering Willow's current situation.

Her autism was clearly quite severe. When asked to speak to others, she couldn't even say a word.

A while ago, I had planned to do things that would make her want to show off to others, hoping this might prompt her to communicate with people, but that plan failed as well.

So the next approach to try was getting her grandparents to interact with her to see if she'd be willing to talk to them.

If she still didn't want to…

Well, I actually had another idea in mind.

Once I was done saving the finished drawings on my phone, I turned around and walked over to where Zane was.

During work hours in the past few days, I'd never left my cubicle. Since I was feeling a little uncomfortable, I came over here to look at the view. Zane didn't mind as well.

"Do you have something to say?"

Zane was still busy with work, as he didn't even raise his head to look at me.

I said with a smile, "Yes. It's about Willow."

Only then did Zane look up. "Oh?"
