Chapter 232 Zane thought for a long tbefore answering, "It's not that urgent." I asked, "Can I finish the drawings for the next two days and cto you afterward?" Zane nodded. "No problem." With his confirmation, I buried myself in work until 3:00 pm, finally catching up on everything I had missed. After stretching out a bit, I started on the tasks Zane had assigned to me, beginning with Willow... She was undeniably the female lead of the comic.
Perhaps because I had a soft spot for Willow, the drawing turned out delicate and adorable. One glance was enough to make anyone fall in love with her.
Once I finished, I found myself wondering who to draw next.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI glanced at Zane, who was seated at his desk, diligently handling work matters. After a moment of hesitation, I walked up to him. "I just wanted to confirm-when you say 'main characters' for the dolls, do you mean..." "Our little family," Zane replied without thinking.
"Got it." I returned to my desk and continued working.
Meanwhile, Steven was at the office, trying to figure out what was bothering him. Whenever he stayed away from Jessica, his mood always seemed to improve, no matter where he was.
He felt like he should reach out to her and check on her, but the moment that thought crossed his mind, he instinctively resisted it.
In the end, Steven forced himself to pick up his phone and contact Jessica. "How are you doing?" Jessica gently placed her hand on her belly. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Steven was left speechless, his mind consumed by a single thought.
If he had treated Annalise the way he treated Jessica when they were together, would they have ended up divorced? Even if things had gone wrong later and they reached that point, perhaps Annalise would have still cared about him and wouldn't have walked away so easily. A sharp pain twisted in Steven's chest.
Sensing his silence, Jessica quickly said, "You should focus on work. I won't keep you." "Mm," he muttered.
After the call ended, Steven tossed his phone on the desk and stared blankly at the ceiling.

I didn't finish the tasks Zane assigned until it was tto clock out. After sending them all to him, I packed up my things.
Zane glanced at the drawings, then looked atin surprise. "That was fast." "I figured if I finished it sooner, it'd be easier later on," I replied as I got up. "Let's go." Zane waited until I was by his side before moving forward. "Mm."
When we picked up Willow, we noticed Suzy there. She didn't look too happy. Upon seeingus, she O handed Penelope over and said, "You two can take her hfor a bit. I have sthings to take care of."
Zane knew Suzy was highly capable at work. She always managed to om solve any problems that cup. Whatever was troubling her now had to be related to her ex-husband, Liam Summers. Zane glanced at Penelope and had a hunch. "Is it related to your ex-husband?" Suzy nodded. "Mm."
At that moment, Willow crunning out of kindergarten and grabbed my hand, Zanespoke up, "We'll coane "We'll cwith you. If anything happens, we'll have your back." Suzy didn't answer right away. Instead, she looked at me.
