The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 446

Chloe instantly realized she'd messed up and quickly said, "My bad! You're right. Steven's not the one for Tinsley!" That was when Rowena finally seemed satisfied.

Chloe picked up where she left off. "Can you believe it? Not long after Annalise tied the knot, she was already pregnant. She just stayed home, did nothing, and let Steven handle everything. "Think about it. Steven's got so much pressure at work every day, and she won't even try to find a job to help out. All she wants is to just chill at home! A woman like her is a lot to handle!" Zane was the main provider in the Huxham family. So, going by Chloe's logic, didn't that mean Rowena and everyone else living off Zane were just as guilty?

Rowena held back her frustration. She'd thought maybe she and Chloe had something in common, but after hearing that, it felt more like Chloe was throwing shade at her, implying Rowena should get a job instead of living off of Zane's money. Rowena pursed her lips, shooting Chloe a sharp look as her mind raced. Were Chloe's reasons for not liking Annalise that ridiculous? Rowena couldn't help but wonder if she'd been that petty when she went after Annalise. Was she seriously forcing her pregnant daughter-in-law to work?

Rowena turned to Tinsley. Tinsley gave her a light pat on the shoulder, leaned in, and whispered, "Relax. You're not nearly as bad as she is."

Rowena let out a relieved sigh.

Meanwhile, Chloe noticed that Tinsley and Rowena were quiet and asked, "So, don't you think I've got a point?"
