The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 357

Zachary reluctantly pretended that Annalise was just here to see him off.

I didn't bring anything for my mother because she was getting older, and I wasn't sure if she would like what I bought.

After thinking it over, I decided just to transfer her ten thousand dollars.

She sent me a question mark in response.

My mother's voice came from inside, lively and cheerful. "Who's there?"

She opened the door and, upon seeing me standing there, asked, "You finally decided to come back?"

As she spoke, she moved aside to let me in.

"Mm," I answered as I walked into the living room.

Zane followed behind and sat down beside me.

My mother looked at Zane in confusion, but seeing my calm expression, she said nothing.

She had more important things to focus on.

She held my hand and asked, "The last time you came, you said you wanted to divorce Steven.

"I've been busy lately and hadn't time to check in on you. Tell me, how are things going with you two?"

She had always been against me getting a divorce.

I was very clear about that.

However, I still decided to be honest and said with my head lowered, "I've divorced."

My mother became furious and slapped my arm. "Are you stupid? Divorcing now just makes space for the mistress!"

I didn't say a word.

"I don't care." Her tone was stern. "You have to figure out a way to reconcile with Steven!

"By the way, is Zachary with you now?
