The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 148

Jessica asked softly, "Is that possible?"

Steven didn't answer directly. He merely said, expressionless, "Have you thought about what would happen if I intervened? If people start investigating me, then my past with Annalise will no longer be able to stay hidden."

If things really escalated that far, the people who criticized Jessica would only get more numerous and malicious.

Jessica gradually sat up, her expression becoming serious.

Meanwhile, Steven subtly pulled away from her.

Jessica looked at him and asked, "Then, what do you think I should do to solve this?"

"Simple," Steven said flatly. "Keep an eye out on Zane's attitude."

Jessica was unwilling but couldn't find another solution, so she reluctantly agreed, "Alright."

…

I glanced at the time after finishing today's task. It was only 3:00 pm.

The progress was faster than usual!

I was a bit incredulous, so I quickly opened the draft and carefully checked it. Surprisingly, there were no issues at all.

Zane noticed my actions and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm drawing too fast," I replied honestly. "I can't quite believe it."

Zane chuckled. "Then, you can take a break now."

"No way," I said, already thoroughly in love with the feeling of being busy. "I need to find something else to do."

Zane walked over to me. "You can't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Don't worry." I originally planned to continue coloring the sketches, but seeing Zane's stern gaze.

I decided to hold back.

I pulled out my phone and lay back on the couch. "I won't overwork myself."

Still not at ease, Zane said, "I'll be here watching you."

I reluctantly stopped myself from continuing to work and opened my phone, looking through the comments on various platforms.

Most of them were asking me to hurry up with the next chapter. There were also a few discussions about the characters in the comic.
