The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 527

Upon feeling a headache coming, Steven rubbed his brows and said, "Just get straight to the point."

Ever since Steven divorced and began to date Jessica, his life had become a mess. His mother, who used to be less problematic, had since become very problematic. She would regularly call to complain about other people, yet she never reflected upon herself. Steven tried to be patient, but he missed the days he used to be with Annalise. Life was more peaceful and comfortable then. Furthermore, Steven recently realized he actually loved Annalise.

He couldn't understand how he was foolishly blinded by Jessica, choosing to abandon Annalise over his so-called first love.

After hearing Steven's response, Chloe said, "You have no idea how ridiculous Zachary is! I visited him at his house, but he didn't welcome me and refused to let me in. But what's worse was that he let Portia curse me out!" Chloe got choked up as she continued, "Portia was so mean. She was hot-tempered, too, and she wanted to assault me..."

"What did you say when you were at their house?" Steven asked slowly.

But there was no way Chloe would tell Steven that she started it first. Chloe said innocently, "I didn't do anything!"

"That's impossible."
