The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 461

Maybe the night was too quiet, so Jessica's voice felt unusually soft. For once, Steven seemed genuinely moved.

"Don't worry. Even if Annalise and I get back together, I won't neglect you and the child," he said.

Jessica almost rolled her eyes. If Steven really cared about her and the child, how could she be with Zane?

However, she kept her thoughts to herself and said, "If it comes to that and you're still involved with me, Annalise won't be happy. For the sake of your future together, maybe it's best if we keep our distance." Steven didn't want to abandon his child. "What about the child?" he asked.

Jessica nearly said the child wasn't his, but she caught herself and swallowed the words just in time.

She replied, "You can visit the child occasionally if you want."

Upon hearing Steven's lack of response, Jessica added, "But honestly, it might be better if you don't. Otherwise, Annalise might get jealous. She'll start wondering if you still care about me."

Steven didn't respond immediately. Instead, he murmured, "Give me some time to think this through."
