I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 362

Rachel nearly had a heart attack, her brows knitting tightly.

Steven's anger turned into a cold smile. His chilling, emotionless eyes narrowed as he stared directly at me.

“It certainly sounds like a touching romance. However, I have no interest in attending my ex-wife's wedding.”

“Rejecting me again? You really should get out more, you always... What?!” Hugh's eyes widened in shock, his voice skyrocketing in an exaggerated way. His gaze finally tore away from Steven's face to scan the others in the room, his expression one of utter disbelief.

“Ms. Jones is your ex-wife? And she's Horace's girlfriend now? They're the same person? Then she...”

He trailed off, snapping his mouth shut, but the implication was crystal clear.

Mrs. Spencer's face darkened. I felt a frigid fury surge through me, my eyes turning to ice.

What the hell was Steven playing at? Why did Hugh think Mrs. Lancaster was some kind of violent, promiscuous woman?

Never mind what I gave up for him in our last life—even my own life! Just look at this one. For the year I was married to him, I gave up my passions to be a full-time housewife, a proper Mrs. Lancaster. I cooked every single meal he ate. Did he think it was easy to satisfy such a picky eater?

I constantly monitored his moods, terrified to say a word if he was annoyed. I lived my life walking on eggshells around him, doing chores like a puppet and waiting for him to come home for dinner. I tried to build a connection, but he never gave me the chance. Was that not caring for him?

For his sake, I endured his mother's insults and bullying countless times. I drank that disgusting fertility medicine every single day. I knew he married me reluctantly, so to protect him from his grandfather's anger, I never said a single bad word about him. Wasn't that love? If I didn't love him, how could I have tolerated him?!

I only reconnected with Horace after I asked Steven for a divorce. How does that make me a two-timer? How is that cheating? That bastard, that absolute scumbag, spreading rumors and slandering me. His character gets worse with every lifetime!

I was about to explode and curse him out, but Horace suddenly grabbed my hand, his grip firm. He spoke to Hugh, but his cold gaze was fixed on Steven.
