My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520 

Annie stared at the message, her eyes welling up with grievance. Even her closest family didn’t understand her. 

Annie wondered if they knew that the fate of the Williams family today was akin to what the Silver family could face in the future. Even now, all they cared for was their self–respect. 

Even Grayson had called, urging her to find a way to get together with Joe. He stopped short of explicitly suggesting she offer herself. 

She had wanted to be with Joe. Back when their relationship was still good, she had tried to seize every opportunity to get into Joe’s bed. However, in the end, Joe didn’t even spare her a glance. 

Now that Joe had Skylar by his side, it seemed impossible for her to become entangled with Joe. It wasn’t that she couldn’t see the situation clearly. Rather, her parents were both blind to the truth. 

Recalling Skylar’s words in the restaurant moments ago, Annie’s mood grew 

heavier. 

Her phone’s ringing snapped her back to reality. It was Steven. 

Her fingers stiffened slightly as she answered. 

“I just bought a gift to bring when I visit your parents. What time would be suitable for me to come over to your place tomorrow?” Steven’s voice was gentle. 

Annie’s heart fluttered slightly. Steven was remarkably outstanding with limitless prospects ahead of him, but his background was too humble. 

Even if he genuinely, cared for her, she knew she wouldn’t encounter another person as sincere as him in the future. Yet, they were from different social classes. 

Annie needed time to think about the next step. 

“My parents suddenly have to go abroad for something urgent. I’m sorry, Steven. Can we wait until they come back before we visit my place?” Annie’s tone carried a hint of heaviness.

It wasn’t about feigning helplessness, but she was genuinely tired and feeling low right now. 

Steven sensed Annie’s shift in mood. “It’s alright. We can wait. Is everything alright with you?” 

Annie explained softly, “It’s nothing. I just feel a bit sorry. We had planned to meet my parents tomorrow, but now we won’t be able to. I was worried you might be disappointed.” 

Steven accepted her explanation and spoke with even more patience and tenderness, “It’s really nothing. I’m not disappointed. It doesn’t matter whether the meeting takes place sooner or later. What matters most is our mutual understanding. 

“Besides, I have a project I need to focus on in the lab these days. If I don’t reply to your message promptly, please don’t overthink it.” 

“I won’t,” Annie replied with a smile. She knew Steven wouldn’t deceive her because he was someone who valued commitment and integrity above all else. 

After ending the call, Annie leaned back in the car with her eyes closed. At this moment, she felt lost. She was uncertain about her next move.
