The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 25

Elara spent the entire night without finding an opportunity to converse with Zane, feeling deeply frustrated with herself.

She was angry that she couldn't swallow her pride, and even angrier at her own uselessness.

Things were different now. She should have accepted reality long ago instead of putting on airs.

Feeling suffocated in her room, Elara decided to take a walk around the estate, hoping to brainstorm a plan for tomorrow and see if she could find an opening.

She wondered if Zane had a habit of taking morning jogs; running into him then would be perfect.

But since he was playing cards tonight—a game that would likely last past midnight—it was highly probable he wouldn't wake up early to exercise.

He might even skip breakfast entirely.

If he skipped breakfast or ordered room service, that left only lunch as an opportunity, because they were scheduled to return in the afternoon.

Her thoughts were a tangled mess, and she ultimately failed to come up with a viable plan.

Actually, there was a plan—she just had to be shameless. If she threw herself into his path and played the 'university alumni' card hard enough, she could force an opportunity.

Elara let out a sigh and walked down the wooden steps.

The night breeze off the lake brushed against her cheek. Her expression was numb.

Gazing at the distant lights reflecting on the water, another soft sigh escaped her lips.

The lost time and the helplessness of reality seemed to mock the failure of the first half of her life.

Her marriage was a failure, her career was a failure, and her life as a whole felt like a failure.

Her phone chimed with a notification.

The message on the screen was as vulgar as ever.

It seemed her husband's taste was truly quite poor.

In the past, she couldn't understand what kind of men actually liked those cheap, coquettish women.

Now she understood—it was exactly the kind of man her husband was.

These heirs to prominent families were raised under strict discipline and bound by rules in everything they did. Once they gained power, it was inevitable they would let loose and seek out wild women.
