I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 139

Steven’s handsome face darkened, his eyes flashing with a warning. “Zephyra!”

“Shut up!” I snapped back. “You wanted me to take care of you. That’s what this has all been about. Now that I’m doing it, you’re giving me this attitude. I thought you’d be satisfied with a little bit of drama, but you’re serious. I don’t understand you. It’s like you have multiple personalities. Nothing makes you happy. I’m done. Someone else can deal with you.”

Ignoring the furious look on his face, I turned to a petrified Gordon. “Gordon, you can have this porridge.”

“Either you eat it, or you throw it away. But I will not let a single grain of it touch Steven’s lips.”

With that, I stormed out, took the rest of the porridge, and went to my own room. As I ate, my stomach was satisfied, but I was still fuming. What was wrong with him? If he didn’t want me to take care of him, why did he use his recovery as leverage? And now that I was doing what he wanted, he was still unhappy. Was it that the more eager I was for him to get better, the angrier he got?

The more I thought about it, the more irritated I became. There was a knock at the door. I opened it, my temper still simmering, to find Gordon standing there, beaming.

“Gordon?”
