The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 238

Hearing that she wasn't blowing him off entirely, Zane felt a little better. "Where are you going?"

"I booked a session at the spa for a massage."

"Does it have to be today?"

Elara explained, "I already booked it, and the timing is perfect, so I'll just skip dinner."

"Am I dead last on your priority list?" Zane muttered gloomily.

"Stop fussing. I'm not as young as I used to be. Taking care of my body is extremely important to me."

"Can't you go tomorrow? Is the spa going to explode tomorrow?"

Elara laughed in exasperation. "I made an appointment. It's rude to just cancel."

Zane, looking thoroughly annoyed, reluctantly dropped her off at the wellness center.

"What time will you be done? I'll come pick you up."

"There's no need. Just wait for me at home."

"Then exactly what time will you be done? Give me a solid estimate."

Left with no other choice, Elara said, "I'll definitely be home before ten."

Only then did Zane drive off, grumbling all the way.

But knowing Elara would be coming back to him soon, his mood brightened considerably.

Within minutes, he had talked himself out of his funk.

Once home, he immediately hit the shower, timed his medication perfectly, and planted himself in the living room to keep an eye on the door.

-

He yanked the door open suddenly, giving Elara a heart attack.

Before she could even utter a word, Zane dragged her inside and crashed his lips against hers.

Her purse hit the floor with a thud.

"My bag..."

"Leave it..."

Zane's hands slipped under the hem of her shirt...

"Stop messing around..."

"I waited for you all night..." Zane murmured, reaching for the zipper on the back of her top.

"Don't rush..."

"I am rushing. I can't wait another minute..."
