The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 315

Jessica's logic seemed somewhat sound, so even if Steven was still annoyed, he conceded, "Sorry for misjudging you."

Jessica forced a brave smile in response. "It's fine. I'm happy as long as you understand my intentions"

She acted as if she was hurt by his misunderstanding but was bearing it silently. Though Steven still did not love her, her apparent selfless devotion touched him.

He looked at her and said seriously. "After the baby's born, I'll not only provide child support but help with your expenses too."

Upon hearing that, Jessica looked at him in surprise. Did that mean he would support both her and the child? Her performance had paid off, so she was satisfied with today's outcome.

After their talk, Steven found a seat where he could watch Annalise from afar.

Zane sat beside her, and Steven could tell that he loved Annalise very much. The same business elite who maintained an icy demeanor with everyone else was looking at her with barely concealed adoration.

Meanwhile, Annalise seemed more at ease being around Zane. Her eyes were sparkling whenever she glanced his way.

Having witnessed such a scene personally, Steven couldn't help thinking that this must be the marriage she had always dreamed of. Having a husband who cherished and loved her, who listened patiently and treated her well, while she devoted herself to him in return.

Bitterness spread through Steven's heart, and he closed his eyes to force down the emotion! He then took a deep breath.

He had known Annalise long enough to know she was cautious and would never rush into relationships. Yet, she had agreed to date Zane before really knowing him.
