I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 831

Tess perched on the arm of the sofa, holding a photo of me and staring at it intently. “Ma’am, look at this picture. Your smile is so sweet.”

At that time, my heart and soul were filled with the thought of spending the rest of my life with Steven; the love was practically spilling from my eyes.

I didn’t say anything, just handed the photo frame back to her.

Tess took it and continued to praise me, but my mind was a tangled mess, and I couldn't register a word she was saying. A strange sense of panic even began to rise within me.

Soon, footsteps echoed from outside the door. I looked up to see Steven striding in.

His eyes curved into a smile when he saw me, and his tone was gentle. “Zephyra, what are you doing here? I had Gordon go get you something you like to eat.”

Just as he finished, Gordon peeked his head in from the doorway.

I looked up at him, my face devoid of expression. “No, thank you. I don't want to eat anything.”

Right now, all I cared about was whether Horace was telling the truth.

Steven didn't seem to notice anything was wrong and sat down next to me, reaching out to hug me. I sidestepped his embrace.

I shifted away, creating a person’s width of distance between us.

Although I hadn’t agreed to remarry him, we had grown quite close these past few days. Hugs and kisses were commonplace.

My sudden move left him looking puzzled and hurt. “What’s wrong? Who upset you?”

My face was cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees with my mood. Gordon quickly gestured for Tess to leave, making sure to close the door behind them.

I turned to face Steven directly, studying him with a serious expression. My voice was calm and icy. “I need to ask you something, and you have to tell me the truth. You can't lie to me.”
