The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 459

Steven had initially felt confident, believing that Jessica was the love of his life and that being with his long-time crush would be a dream come true. But reality turned out to be completely different from his fantasies.

Steven let out a wry smile. It seemed he could only maintain a distance from Jessica; any closer, it became uncomfortable. By the time he realized this, it was already too late to regret it.

Although Steven had thought of this scenario multiple times, he never found it bothersome. He knew very well that without this thought to motivate him, he likely wouldn't have the strength to keep going. Steven took a deep breath. The problem was that Annalise really disliked him. How could he interact with her without causing any trouble?
