The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 606

Jessica took a deep breath, knowing that one wrong move could cost her everything. She gazed down as she caressed her stomach. She would keep the baby no matter what.

After some hesitation, she gave Chloe a call. When the latter picked up, she started sobbing. "Chloe, I don't know if it's the pregnancy, but I've been an emotional wreck these days."

Jessica was practically golden in Chloe's eyes. With a gentle smile, she asked patiently, "What happened?"

"Steven has recently gotten chummy with Annalise," Jessica whined tearfully. "I can't help but think what will happen to me if he decides to get back together with her and abandon me and my baby!"

"That won't happen!" Chloe promised solemnly. "He's not getting back together with Annalise not on my watch!"

Jessica knew Chloe would unconditionally side with her. "As much as I appreciate it, your assurance won't make me feel better about this situation."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Chloe asked.

"Persuade Steven to get a vasectomy," Jessica replied without even batting an eye.

Chloe fell silent when she heard this. She knew her chances of becoming a grandmother were riding on Jessica, but getting Steven to undergo a vasectomy seemed somewhat extreme.
