The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 215

Zane pulled out his phone, switched to camera mode, and aimed it at Annalise and Willow. He quickly snapped a photo.

In the picture, Annalise looked serene and gentle, while Willow was adorable.

Zane stared at the photo for a long time before setting it as his wallpaper.

…

"Are you trying to take a picture of Willow?" I noticed Zane fiddling with his phone. I leaned back, giving him more space. "Go ahead."

Zane didn't want me to realize who he was actually photographing, so he quickly shifted his focus back to Willow. He snapped several more pictures of her in a row.

…

Harry returned, and Zachary left in his car.

On the dark street, Steven was left standing alone. He gazed at the brightly lit living room in the distance, his emotions incredibly conflicted.

Everyone insisted he didn't love Annalise. But when he was near her, his heart felt inexplicably calm.

Why was that?

…

In the car, Zachary watched Steven's shrinking figure in the rearview mirror.

He pulled out his tablet and sent Jessica a message. "Daddy's hanging around Mommy's place. Don't you think you should do something to bring him back?"

Jessica stared at her phone for a long time. Even though she was confident Annalise no longer wanted Steven, if she let him linger near Annalise, it was only a matter of time before he realized who he truly loved.

And when that day came, he'd take back the cards he'd given her and wouldn't give her any more money to spend.
