Tinsley quickly said, "Then, I''ll go tomorrow."


    Rowena couldn''t contain her excitement. "If there''s any problem, just ask your brother. He''ll help you."


    Tinsley felt much lighter after hearing this.


    Thepany''s business had been declining rapidly recently. She and the team had considered many solutions, but none of them worked.


    If they let things continue like this, thepany might notst much longer and could go under. She hadn''t expected Rowena to find someone to help her.


    Tinsley happily said, "Okay. Thank you, Mom!"


    ...


    After finishing his work, Zane asked me, "Were you curious about my decision earlier?"


    I was drawing, and only when I heard Zane''s voice did I look up. "She''s your biological mother. No matter how much she''s wronged you, as long as there''s that blood connection, you can''t easily give her up. "Moreover, she took the initiative to apologize and give you an out this time. You should take advantage of this opportunity to reconcile with her."


    Then, I added slowly, "I understand your decision."? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Zane then asked, "But will you me me?"


    I asked in confusion, "Why would I?"


    Zane exined, "She hasn''t been good to you in the past."


    I replied without a second thought, "But I fought back too. Besides, I''m just pretending to be your girlfriend. Why should I care so much if we aren''t really together?"


    It seemed like he had too much to worry about.


    Zane didn''t say anything and merely just stood there, staring at me for a long time before leaving.


    On the other hand, I curled up on the sofa and began to consider a very important question seriously.


    After drawing the events I''ve shared with Willow every day, I still had a lot of free time. So, what should I do with that time?


    I looked at Zane and suddenly had an idea. Then, I went back to my drawing again.


    Zane, noticing my gaze, came over to me during his rare free time and asked from behind, "What are you drawing?"


    I smiled and said, "I just came up with a new concept. I think the readers will really like it, so I''m going to try drawing it and see if it works."


    Zane asked cautiously, "Does this concept have anything to do with me?"


    I didn''t deny it. "Yes."


    Zane continued guessing. "You''re not nning to draw the story of us pretending to be in a rtionship, are you?"


    "I''m not that silly!" I quickly responded. "If I posted them online, Steven would see it and find out our real rtionship! What if hees to bother me again?" Zane rxed. "Then what kind of plot are you nning to draw?"


    "I''ll show you once I''m done." I decided to keep it mysterious for now. "You''ll find out, then."


    Zane sat down beside me. "I''m looking forward to it."


    I was nning to draw a sweet love story, but just as I was about to start, I suddenly realized that I''ve never actually been pursued by anyone.


    When I got together with Steven, it was because I felt he met all my requirements for a partner, and that I liked him too.


    That just meant that I was the one who pursued him! We never even had a proper rtionship!


    There wasn''t any ambiguous, teasing phase at all.


    How should I even draw this?
