Tinsley quickly said, "Then, I'll go tomorrow."
Rowena couldn't contain her excitement. "If there's any problem, just ask your brother. He'll help you."
Tinsley felt much lighter after hearing this.
The company's business had been declining rapidly recently. She and the team had considered many solutions, but none of them worked.
If they let things continue like this, the company might not last much longer and could go under. She hadn't expected Rowena to find someone to help her.
Tinsley happily said, "Okay. Thank you, Mom!"
…
After finishing his work, Zane asked me, "Were you curious about my decision earlier?"
I was drawing, and only when I heard Zane's voice did I look up. "She's your biological mother. No matter how much she's wronged you, as long as there's that blood connection, you can't easily give her up.
"Moreover, she took the initiative to apologize and give you an out this time. You should take advantage of this opportunity to reconcile with her."
Then, I added slowly, "I understand your decision."
Zane then asked, "But will you blame me?"
I asked in confusion, "Why would I?"
Zane explained, "She hasn't been good to you in the past."
I replied without a second thought, "But I fought back too. Besides, I'm just pretending to be your girlfriend. Why should I care so much if we aren't really together?"
It seemed like he had too much to worry about.
Zane didn't say anything and merely just stood there, staring at me for a long time before leaving.
