I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 451

Do I really need to care about him?

I ignored him and looked at Jacob and Linda. “Let's go.”

Without even consulting me, Steven started to follow. I gritted my teeth. “If you two can't stop him today, you don't need to work for me anymore.”

The two muscle-bound bodyguards, who had been standing there like statues, finally sprang into action, blocking Steven's path.

“Sorry, sir. Our miss said you're not to follow.”

Linda's eyes widened, and she shot me a look that seemed to say, isn't this a bit much?

I didn't care.

Whatever Steven was planning, whatever was going on with Verna, he wasn't going to cling to me.

Steven glanced at the two decorative obstacles in front of him, then looked at me. “I'll say this one last time. You are not eating with him.”

I swept my hair back with one hand, defiantly challenging him, “I'm going to do exactly that. Who do you think you are?”

He's just my ex-husband. Does he really think I'm still his property?

With that cold retort, I grabbed a pale-faced Linda by the arm and headed out.

Jacob followed us, his eyes darkening slightly and the corner of his lip twitching in what seemed to be a mocking smile.

It was in a blind spot, unseen by anyone.
