When Thirza was around the house, Evalyn had always regarded her as the one and only obstacle she had to get rid of in order to be with Steve. After she left, Evalyn felt as if her whole world had lit up.
But today, Thirza reappeared in Steve's world, and she began to worry again.
As if he didn't see the trauma in her eyes, Steve said word by word, "Her business is always gonna be my business, for as long as I'm still drawing a breath in their world."
He carried Thirza and left. Evalyn's friends were all indignant as well. "That's the girl you told us about?"
"That's her."
"Didn't you say that she has already left? Why is she here?"
"I don't know either."
"Eva, to put it bluntly, the way Steve treats that girl, don't you find it a bit absurd? It's pretty apparent that the girl is much more important to him than... you... Do you think that they..." "No, Steve just raised her since she was a baby, that's it." "Why do I feel that it's not that simple?"
"Don't think too much. Steve is used to it. Come on, it's my treat today. Let's get wasted."
Actually, Evalyn was furious deep down. However, he did not want others to pity her. She could only try to dial down the whole situation.
Steve held Thirza in his arms. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't seen her recently, or because she wore makeup on her face. Steve felt that Thirza had grown a little more.
He hadn't seen her for a long time. When Steve held her in his arms, he finally felt at ease.
And finally, he realized why he had almost been on a rampage for the past few days. Thirza, who was still quite drunk, looked at the man holding her.
"Who are you?" She was not sure that the person she saw was Steve.
There was still anger in Steve's heart. If he was not here, she would really kiss Harrison.
He buckled her seatbelt and stomped the gas pedal.
Steve's mind was filled with the way Thirza held her arms around Harrison, dressing like a hooker. It only took him half the usual time to get back to the house.
Thirza had fallen asleep. His heart was full of anger, but when he saw her sleeping face, his anger dissipated.
He held her in his arms and walked toward the room step by step. Thirza, dressed in a sexy dress, kept tempting him.
While Steve was lost in thought, Thirza had already opened her eyes, "Steve? Is that you?"
Seeing her wake up, Steve suddenly burst into anger. "Do you know what you are doing? How can you go to a bar at such a young age? How dare you dress like this!"
Thirza also glared at him. "This is none of your business! I can dress the way I wanna dress and there's nothing you can do about it!"
"If I want to do makeup, I will do it. It's none of your business who I kiss! Do you know what IS your business? Your woman! That Evalyn or something! Right, your precious Eva!"
"You! How dare you!" Steve had always been gentle in front of Thirza. He had not even said a merely harsh word to Thirza all these years.
Thirza felt even more wronged. She thought that he shouted at her because he had a woman he liked.
"It's none of your business. I'll go back to Harrison. You don't want me, but he does. He has always been so! I wanna be with him!"
Thirza got up from the bed and was ready to storm out. Only then did she find out that she had been carried back to her previous room by Steve.
"How dare you!"
"Yeah? Look at me go!"
Thirza was about to get out of bed, but she was stopped by Steve. "You are completely drunk! Sober up here!"
Steve carried Thirza to the bathroom and suddenly turned on the shower. The water washed down and wet the clothes of the two.
