I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 488

Steven was silent.

Surprisingly, he didn't get angry. His long, slender hand cupped my chin, his deep eyes staring intently at me.

“You prefer the old me?”

In this life, neither the past version of him nor the present one was worth my preference.

I stated firmly, “I hate the current you more.”

When I was first reborn, I could clearly distinguish the Steven of this life from the one in my past. Now, the lines were blurred. This Steven was as ruthless as the man from my memories, but he didn't show the same obsessive devotion to Verna. I wondered if his dreams were affecting his personality.

Or perhaps…

Steven’s handsome features seemed clean and pure in the sunlight. Hearing my words, his expression darkened. Without another word, he bent down, grabbed the back of my neck, and kissed me, biting my lip hard.

I pushed and hit his chest in frustration, but he ignored my struggles, his hands roaming my body, stroking my waist with deliberate provocation. He only released me when I was breathless.

“Whether you hate me or not, how you hate me, or which version of me you hate—you are mine,” he said, his eyes dark and his tone possessive as he looked down at me. “Do you hear me, Zephyra? You belong to me, and only me.”

His eyes were filled with an intense, predatory ownership.

I stared back at him, wide-eyed and silent.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was a video call from Mr. Lancaster Sr.

Steven answered immediately. “Grandpa.”

“You brat, your head hasn’t even fully healed! Who told you to run around like that? You…” Mr. Lancaster Sr. began scolding him before he even saw the full picture. Suddenly, he stopped, his voice filled with shock. “Zephyra? Why is Zephyra with you?”
