The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 754

Steven spoke deliberately, his voice devoid of emotion. Yet, his words hit Chloe like a bolt of lightning.

Her lips parted slightly, but it took her a long time to respond. "I never expected things to turn out this way."

"Does that mean you can just shirk responsibility?" Steven mocked coldly.

Chloe had no answer to that.

Steven continued, "You can't. The reality is that Zachary won't forgive you. And neither will I. You might as well stay home, focus on Jessica's child, and live your life."

Just as he was about to hang up, Chloe quickly interjected, "Didn't you forgive us before?"

Steven paused before replying, "The fact that you can still reach me by phone is proof enough that I don't hate you."

Chloe let out a quiet sigh of relief.
