I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 622

“Honey, I know I’ve done so many things wrong in the past. I’m sorry I hurt you and even caused you to go bankrupt… It’s all my fault, but I’ll change! I’ll be a better person, I promise!”

“I… I’ll go out and find a job tomorrow. I’ll work with you, and with both of us working, putting our hearts into it, we’ll clear our debts one day!”

I must have looked like a complete fool, because Steven was looking at me as if I were an idiot. “Who told you I was bankrupt?”

I answered honestly, “Gordon did. He said I ruined you, that you’re drowning in debt, and that’s why you hate me. I… I’ll turn over a new leaf, I swear. I’ll never cause you trouble again.”

Steven was silent.

His expression was placid, his gaze calm as he glanced at me. Suddenly, he asked, “Do you want to remarry me?”

I stared at him in shock, my face instantly flushing a deep red. I shyly pulled my hand away from his.

“I… I haven’t thought about it.”

Steven was a good man, but I had amnesia. I’d forgotten our entire relationship, our past, everything. My memory of him was limited to just the couple of times we’d met recently.

I was certainly fond of him, and I felt a bit like a baby bird imprinting. He was the only one who had come looking for me, the only person I felt I could rely on and trust right now. But remarriage? I hadn't even considered it.

Steven stood tall and poised, his eyes fixed on me.

“If you haven’t thought about it, then don’t cling to me. Don’t lead me on. I’m only helping you this time for… for my grandfather’s sake. If it weren’t for your sudden amnesia, you and I would never have seen each other again.”

“We have no future. Once we figure out what’s going on with those text messages, my life will go back to the way it was. As for you—I suggest you stay far away from me.”

That evening, the rain poured relentlessly as we ate dinner.

Sitting at the table, I couldn’t get the look in Steven’s eyes from earlier out of my head—deep and cold, yet tinged with a sort of restrained emotion. And his final words kept replaying in my mind—

“Zephyra, whether you have amnesia or your memory returns, stay away from me. Otherwise, when you regret it later, there’ll be no one to cry to.”

It seemed my relationship with Steven really had been terrible. He despised me that much.

I absentmindedly picked up a piece of ravioli and put it in my mouth. My expression changed instantly. I bolted for the bathroom and began retching violently. Gordon, terrified, rushed in after me. “Ma’am, are you all right?”
