The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 692

Steven stared at Chloe intently. She quickly realized she couldn't be rude to him since she was there to ask for money. Hence, she tried to suppress her anger.

Steven let out a cold laugh. "You've always been like this. Whenever I refuse to give you what you want, you start making excuses."

And in the end, it always came back to the same thing-her accusing him of being unfilial.

"No matter what, you always manage to get your way in the end." Steven finally understood how Chloe had been manipulating him all along. His eyes darkened with bitterness.

For the first time, he regretted his choices. When he thought about it, life had been much easier with Annalise. At least she was frugal.

Back then, Chloe tried to be more mindful of spending, just so Annalise wouldn't use too much money. Now, Jessica spent money recklessly, and Chloe had followed suit with no restraint at all.

Steven felt utterly exhausted.
