The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 771

Steven was reluctant to back off. But every time he tried to say more, Annalise would find excuses to leave, leaving him feeling bitter.

Still, Steven persevered and continued to pursue Annalise. After a long time, she was finally touched and agreed to date him.

As their relationship improved, it would only make sense if Steven naturally dated Annalise and eventually married her. Yet Steven had no memories of that. Their relationship took an odd turn-Annalise pursued him, but he began to avoid her.

Frowning hard, Steven wondered what happened then.

It was likely Jessica called to complain about her miserable life, wanting to reconcile with him. That was just a day before he had made up his mind to forget about her and focus on building a life with Annalise.

At that thought, Steven smiled bitterly to himself.

Back then, Casper was still wealthy, and his family wasn't yet on the verge of bankruptcy. He treated Jessica well, and he gave her everything she wanted. No matter how Steven looked at it now, Jessica would never have left Casper. Yet, Steven believed in what she said.

He distanced himself from Annalise and waited for Jessica.
