The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 189

Fearing her son was just putting on an act, Elena smartly instructed him to use her name when buying things for Nadia.

Zane didn't call out his mother's little scheme; he just agreed.

Zane felt that commenting on clothes and jewelry was inappropriate, so he took her to pick out a designer bag instead, putting it under his mother's name.

Nadia walked around like a zombie, keeping a cold face the entire time.

Zane acted like he didn't care at all. "Do you want to go check out the company?"

Nadia had no interest. "Doesn't your company close on the weekends?"

"It's not like your agency," Zane explained. "Overtime is a regular thing for us."

They had lunch at one of his family's other restaurants, and in the afternoon, he took Nadia to The Sapphire Lounge, acting entirely like he was showing the future boss's wife around their properties.

Sebastian frowned slightly when he saw Zane showing Nadia around a place like this.

As soon as Nadia saw Sebastian, she sneered, "Well, if it isn't a small world."

"Very small," Sebastian replied.

Nadia scoffed and turned to Zane. "You guys talk. I don't have a single word to say to him."

"I'll have someone take you home, then."

Nadia rarely came here, and finding the place novel, she said, "I'll take a look around on my own before I go."

Zane didn't argue, calling over a waiter to accompany her.

After Nadia left, the two men headed to the back for a smoke.

"Bro, what's the deal?"

Zane took a drag of his cigarette before answering, "Finding a partner to marry."

Sebastian frowned. "I thought you were injecting capital into Vance Properties?"

"Yeah. Marriage is the condition."

"Bro, her temper is awful."

"Yeah." Zane took another drag.

Seeing he wasn't listening, Sebastian pressed on, "She only looks rational and aloof on the outside. In reality, she's only slightly better than my ex-sister-in-law."

"Sebastian, I had to agree. It's the condition for the capital injection."
