The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chloe sighed. She couldn't understand why Steven had become so deeply attached to Annalise after their divorce. But now wasn't the time to dwell on such questions.

Chloe remembered how she had forced Steven to have a vasectomy, and he was still upset with her about that. After Steven dropped her off at home this time, who knew when she'd see him again? So, she had to make the most of this opportunity to get Steven to forgive her.

Chloe set aside her dislike for Annalise and quickly said, "I know you like Annalise. I promise I won't say anything bad about her anymore, okay?"

Fearing Steven wouldn't believe her, she hastily added, "At least not in front of you."

Steven glanced at Chloe. "Whether you say it or not is your choice. I can't control it."

Chloe didn't understand. She had already tried to humble herself, so why wouldn't Steven forgive her?

Her expression darkened, but she still voiced her intention. "Can you forgive me, please?"

Steven said calmly, "You should know that my anger toward you has nothing to do with Annalise. So I
