The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 173

They arrived at The Sovereign and scanned into the penthouse.

The moment the door clicked shut, Zane pinned Elara against the wall, trapping her in a textbook romantic hold.

Normally, a man would lean in slowly and flirt, but Zane had zero patience. He immediately crashed his lips against hers.

Here we go again.

Every time he stepped foot in this penthouse, it was like he transformed into a completely different person.

Well, at least he remembered to close the door this time.

Zane kissed her deeply while unbuckling his belt, looking as if he was ready to take her right there in the entryway.

Elara quickly grabbed his hand before he could unfasten his pants. "Let's... wash up first..."

"I won't go all the way in. I'll just..." Zane could barely contain his arousal, pressing his hips against hers.

Elara's body was already responding, but she hadn't completely lost her mind. She definitely wasn't going to trust the nonsense a man spewed when he was turned on.

She opted for a compromise. "Let's... go to the bathroom... take a shower together..."

A shower together...

That mental image finally got through to Zane. He scooped her up into his arms, but suddenly remembered the slippers.

He had bought six or seven pairs of slippers in various colors and styles.

His original plan was to let her choose her favorite.

But a few days ago, the incident with the gift box had ruined the mood, so he had just shoved them all into the shoe cabinet.

Zane gently set her down, bent over, and opened the cabinet. He pulled out the slippers and lined them up for her to see.

"I didn't know which style you'd like, so I bought a few."

Elara was slightly shocked. "You only bought women's slippers? No men's?"

"I don't have guys over."

So, women came over often?

Perhaps it was his ex-wife, Jocelyn Yale, or some other ladies.

An outstanding man like him naturally attracted a lot of female attention. Elara was well aware of that. Even the infamous Iron Lady wanted to remarry him.

"Any pair is fine," Elara said dismissively.
