The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 190

Zane looked at her. "Even if I didn't get my hands on her, it doesn't change the fact that I like her."

Jocelyn scoffed coldly. "If you like her so much, what are you doing going on dates with Nadia? Your affection is certainly profound."

"Because I am the heir to the Whitaker family, and I need to get married." Zane's expression grew serious. "Even so, my feelings for Elara are undeniable. Even if there's no possibility between us, I'm still going to inject capital into Vance Properties."

Jocelyn instantly flared up. "What the hell is wrong with your brain?! To make you do something so idiotic?! Even if they need a capital injection, they have Gideon Grant. Who do you think you are? What kind of fake devotion are you trying to parade around?"

Zane knew how Jocelyn felt about him, but...

True love was perhaps destined to be a one-man show, destined for a solitary curtain call.

She had met him when she didn't understand love, so they were destined to miss each other.

He looked at her, his heart softening, but he still said, "I traded my marriage with my father in exchange for the capital injection into Vance Properties."

"My brother is lost, and I am the family's only hope. My father has already agreed."

"So, Jocelyn, stop meddling in my business and move on."

Jocelyn's face changed drastically, the fire in her eyes now misted with tears.

"Zane Whitaker! You know exactly how I feel—"

"Jocelyn!" Zane cut her off. "It's not worth it."

"Jocelyn, I'm not worth it." Zane couldn't bear to meet her eyes. He knew the agony of unrequited love. "I have Elara in my heart. I'm not worth it."

Hearing this, the tears in Jocelyn's eyes welled up even more. "We were able to make do and get by before, weren't we?!"

"That's different."

"Aren't you going to marry Nadia too?!" Jocelyn shouted.

Zane looked at her. She hadn't even cried when they got divorced; this was what he feared seeing the most.

"Jocelyn, Nadia doesn't like me. That's the only way we can respect each other and make do."

"Why can't you make do with me?!"
