The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 463

Jessica was deep in thought. If she managed to win Zane's heart, would he treat her just as well? Would he protect her unconditionally? Would he...

After returning to the bedroom, I turned on the desk lamp and sat down to sketch for a while. I stopped when I realized I was getting tired.

I pulled back the curtains to reveal the pitch-black night outside. The quiet night was comforting, with insects chirping in a rhythmic chorus.

I stood up and leaned against the window, taking in the view outside. Lately, I had been caught up in endless troubles, which had left me feeling irritable.

As I forced myself to confront these issues, I suddenly realized the more frustrated I felt, the more it proved their success, right?

So, I needed to find a way to free myself from their influence. Gradually, I began to relax.

I have a child who loves me, a husband who is willing to face challenges alongside me and work through them together, and a thriving career.

I should be happy. So, I need to adjust my mindset. My gaze then fell on the proposal beside me, and my expression softened. Since life had finally taken a turn for the better, I should cherish this hard-won moment even more.

In that instant, it dawned on me that life was filled with joyful and unhappy moments. If we focused only on the happy things, our mood would lift. But if we dwell on the unhappy aspects, our spirits will sink.

Since we were the ones who determined the quality of our lives, why not focus on the joyful moments and choose to be happy every day? Suddenly, everything felt clearer.

…

That night, I finally had a good sleep. In the morning, I walked to the Willow's bedroom.
