The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 198

Zachary's voice gradually quietened as he murmured, "But who's going to treat me well in turn?"

Annalise didn't want him anymore, and Steven didn't care for him either.

He looked at the ground. He hadn't wanted to cry, yet tears fell steadily down his face against his will.

Steven didn't need to send Zachary to kindergarten, but he still arrived at the kindergarten entrance when it was time for parents to send their children there.

When he saw Zachary's pitiful appearance, he approached, asking, "Do you need my help?"

Zachary raised his head to look at Steven, then shook his head as he replied, "I don't."

"Why?" Steven asked in confusion. "Don't you secretly follow her every day just so you can spend more time with her? Won't it be great if I found you opportunities to have some alone time with her?" Certainly, it sounded wonderful.

However, Steven was the culprit who had made Annalise give up on him in the first place.

If Steven hadn't sneakily brought him to meet with Jessica, he wouldn't have been foolishly tricked into thinking that she was a great woman. He wouldn't have consequently started to hate Annalise more and more, even going so far as to bully her.

He understood all this clearly, but he didn't intend to let Steven know, because Zachary could tell that Steven remained unaware of his feelings and
