That was enough.
Meanwhile, Myron, who had stayed behind, stood with his arms crossed, his face a mask of irritation.
“Is Zephyra never going to get her memory back?”
“She will.” Steven grabbed his arm and pushed him toward the car. “It's hard to park in front of the inn. Get in, I'll take you to the parking lot.”
“She will?!” Myron exploded, refusing to get into the sports car. He glared at Steven. “Steven, if Zephyra is going to get her memory back, then why are you... What the hell are you doing right now? You're ignoring the company, ignoring your family, and running off to this little village to be a lapdog for your amnesiac ex-wife?”
The words were harsh, but Steven didn't get angry. His eyes were incredibly deep.
“I've already told her that I won't settle scores with her while she has amnesia. Let's just consider our past grievances shelved for now. You shouldn't give her a hard time either.”
“Right now, she's willing to get along with me, to stay by my side obediently. Even if I try to deny it or ignore it, my heart won't lie to me. I'm just happy. I'm happy to have her with me, even if it's just sitting beside me watching TV, or talking to me calmly. I'm happy.”
Myron looked like he was about to have an aneurysm, rolling his eyes to the heavens. “Steven, you're the definition of lovesick, for god's sake!”
Steven let him curse. He was indulging in a completely dysfunctional relationship. It wasn't just outsiders who saw the problem; he himself was fully aware of it. Yet, he continued to sink into it with open eyes, which was twisted in itself.
“Until she fully recovers her memory, don't tell her too much about the past, and don't mention Verna. I don't want to shatter this brief moment of peace.”
Myron scoffed and got into the car. “You mean the kind of happiness that comes from deceiving yourself, right?”
Steven didn't reply. He walked around the front of the car, got in, and drove toward the parking lot.
