The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 181

Eastford girls didn't like marrying out of the city, especially girls from powerful families.

Although Eastford was only a two-hour drive from the capital, it was unacceptable to the Wainwrights, especially marrying into a merchant family, and the Whitaker family was far from established back then.

"It would be enough if you took after your father even a little bit, but you only inherited my foolishness, doing stupid things every day."

Zane was speechless. No one in the entire city would ever call him a fool, except his own mother.

Warren shot him a glare, and Zane immediately fell silent.

Seeing the timing was right, Zane lowered his gaze. "Alright, you call the shots. Whatever you say goes, okay?"

Warren glanced at his son.

Zane didn't dare meet his father's eyes.

Elena's expression instantly brightened. "I told you to marry a woman from a political family back then, but you wouldn't listen. Now we're back on the same path, which is great. I'll arrange an afternoon tea with Mrs. Neville in the next couple of days."

Zane reached out with his fork and placed some food on his mother's plate. "Mom, just eat."

After leaving the estate, Zane's car unconsciously drove to the Vance Estate.

The car parked outside the main gates as usual.

Zane rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly.

Eleanor wasn't stupid. Once or twice might be for discussing acquisitions, but even then, they couldn't just sit in the car. How would they communicate? Telepathy?

A man driving over in the dead of night, saying nothing, just waiting outside the gates—what else could it be?

Eleanor pushed open the door to her daughter's study again, placed a cup of tea on the desk, and said, "That's the eldest Whitaker scion out there, isn't it?"

Elara turned to look out the window, but her seat was too far back to see the gates.

"Mom, just ignore him. Pretend you didn't see him."

The whole city knew about Zane's divorce, and Eleanor was naturally aware of it too.
