The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 579

The phone rang. Steven reached for the phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was Jessica.

With his eyes shut, Steven asked weakly, "Do you need something from me?"

"Of course. You're not doing too well lately, aren't you? You're the father of my child. I just wanted to know how you're doing. Are you okay?" Jessica asked.

Steven answered half-heartedly, "I'm okay."

When Steven was still married to Annalise, he would work during the day and take Zachary to Jessica's house after work. They would stay at Jessica's house until the late hours of the night. Even after he got home, he would call Jessica and spend a long time talking over the phone.
