Chapter 458 

Beautiful, polite, and graceful, Annie was the kind of woman anyone would like. It was clear, however, that Steven was particularly smitten. 

“She seems lovely, Steven,” Janine said quietly. “You have good taste.” 

Steven felt a slight blush creep up his neck. “She really is amazing.” 

Meeting Annie felt like a stroke of luck. They shared a wealth of common interests. 

Janine couldn’t contain her smile as she watched Steven praise Annie. “As long as you’re happy, Steven, so am I. If you two decide to get married, I’ll be your biggest 

supporter.” 

The conversation between Steven and Janine continued in the kitchen. Meanwhile, in the living room, Skylar sat on the couch, munching on a piece of fruit. Annie approached and settled beside her. 

Annie peeled a banana and took a bite. After a few more, she finally spoke. “Were you surprised to see me? I confess, I was too. It seems fate has a funny way of 

connecting us. 

Skylar offered a brief glance at Annie. Away from Janine and Steven’s watchful eyes, her smile faltered. Her response was a curt nod, devoid of enthusiasm. “Indeed, it 

seems so.” 

Annie couldn’t help but notice the coldness in Skylar’s voice, and a shadow of unease flickered across Annie’s face. 

Spending time with Joe had subtly changed Skylar. The way she spoke, the way she looked at people–there was a hint of Joe in her now. It wasn’t intentional, Annie was sure, but it caused a pang in her chest. 

“Isn’t there anything else you’d like to ask?” Annie pressed, surprised by Skylar’s apparent lack of curiosity 

From the beginning, Skylar hadn’t shown the slightest interest. A faint smile played on her lips. “There’s nothing I need to ask.”

Even if Skylar did ask, Annie wouldn’t tell the truth. 

A sense of futility washed over Annie. She glanced toward the kitchen, smiling. ” Steven is wonderful. We’re truly in love.” 

“Congratulations,” Skylar replied with another nod. 

Annie frowned, unsure what was going on behind Skylar’s cool façade. There was a 

hidden depth to her that Annie couldn’t quite grasp. 

Skylar should have confronted her to at least understand if her approach to Steven was deliberate and what her true motives were. Yet, she didn’t pry. It was as if she had no curiosity at all. This left Annie completely bewildered. 

“Aren’t you curious?” Annie asked. 

Skylar let out a soft chuckle. “Curious about what? How you met Steven and fell for him? You already shared that during dinner. 

“Steven is undeniably a remarkable man and has always attracted admirers. He’s never lacked attention, even as a child. But what is it about him that draws you in specifically? That’s something only you can answer.” 

“What do you think my reasons are?” Annie countered quickly, displaying her honed hostess skills by pinpointing the crux of the matter. 

The smile on Skylar’s face faltered slightly. “Annie, intelligence can be a double- edged sword. My family is my priority. If someone approaches them with malicious intent or tries to cause them harm, they’ll deeply regret it. There won’t be a second
