Chapter 112 Steven was upset when Jessica did not answer him. He pressed, "Well?" "Fine," Jessica muttered. Wanting to change the subject, she added, "Don't forget about tonight's party."

Lightening up at the thought of hanging with his friends, he asked, "Are you coming?" Jessica shook her head before touching her belly. "No. Now that I'm pregnant, too much excitement probably isn't good for the baby right now. You should go and have fun." Steven said warmly, "Take care of yourself, then." Jessica chuckled. "Such a worrywart! You'll only be out for a few hours." Even though she was just after his money, his concern still gave her butterflies. "I'll be okay. I promise." He was still concerned for her.

Stepping off the elevator, I spotted Rowena waiting by the office. What was she doing here? Did she want to talk to Zane? I slowed down, wondering if it would be inappropriate forto head into the office now.

Hearing footsteps, Rowena looked up, and her face instantly darkened. She strode over to me. "What's a nanny like you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home?" I explained calmly, "Mr. Huxham didn't have tto takehafter dropping off Willow, so he broughtto the office." She frowned. "Couldn't you catch a cab, then?" I did not know how to respond.

With a disgusted look, she continued, "You're just distracting Zane from work by hanging around his office all day!" "Mom!" Zane heard Rowena trying to causetrouble again just as he reached the floor. His cool voice cut in, "If you have something to say, say it to me." Rowena instantly forgot aboutand rushed to Zane instead. "I found slovely girls for you to meet!" Zane caught my eye and signaledto slip into the office. And I did so when Rowena was not watching.

Zane turned his attention back to Rowena while looking down at her.

Eager to convince him, Rowena rushed on, "They can all accept Willow!" She pulled out her phone to show pictures. "And they're gorgeous, too." Zane said flatly, "I'm too busy to date around." "I don't care!" Rowena hit the roof. "You're making tfor this!"

She suppressed her fury. "Are you planning to just live with Willon et forever?" He asked evenly, "Do you have a problem with that?" "Of course!" Rowena clutched her chest. "I won't allow it, Zane!" In her world, marriage and having kids were everything.

Rowena's face fell as she remembered. Her face was dark. "I'm Herfaces just looking out for you."
