I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 755

What? What did he mean, ‘if I were willing’? I'd have to be insane to be willing.

Just as I was about to retort, Steven held up a small green bottle, his deep voice laced with mockery. “I'm putting stretch mark oil on you.”

“…”

At the sight of it, my anger dissipated quite a bit. Still, that didn't give him the right to touch me whenever he pleased.

I shot him an annoyed glare. “I don't need you for that! I can do it myself. Please remember your place, do what you're supposed to do, and don't cross the line!”

Steven narrowed his eyes, clearly displeased with my words.

I pretended not to notice and looked at the bottle of oil. I'd asked Tess about it; one bottle cost hundreds of dollars. I had looked it up myself—the brand was indeed very expensive.

It would be a waste not to use it.

I reached for the oil, but Steven pulled it away. “Didn't you say you wouldn't use it?”

Did this man not understand English? I clearly said I didn't want *him* to put it on me!

My face was cold. “I'm going to the bathroom to put it on myself! Are you giving it to me or not? If not, I'll just buy my own tomorrow.”

Steven's eyes darkened, but he obediently handed it over.

I took it and went straight to the bathroom.

The next morning, Linda arrived early. I had already notified security, so no one stopped her.

Steven nuzzled my neck. “But I just want to be with you.”

I froze for a second, my heart feeling as if it had been struck by something heavy.

When I had amnesia, Steven would whisper sweet nothings to me just like this. Back then, with no memories, I would blush and respond to his affection every time.

Since my memory returned, I've deliberately kept my distance. I thought I would feel nothing, but I didn't expect my heart to still flutter uncontrollably.

I knew this was dangerous for me right now. When the time came, would I be too reluctant to leave?

Seeing I was silent, Steven whispered, “Zephyra, can you love me again?”
