Chapter 79

Steven wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

He thought, "I don't have any other choice but to give in."

In the end, he looked at Annalise and said, "Actually, I think Zachary is right

"Didn't Annalise leave the house because she was angry with us?

"If I break up with Jessica and Zachary forgives her, she will return home"

After that, Steven visibly relaxed. He looked at Zane disdainfully. "Can't my son speak the truth?"

The latter replied condescendingly, "Have you asked Anna for her opinion?"

Weirdly enough, Steven felt uncomfortable hearing Zane say Annalise's name.

He married her for more than six years and they even had a five-year old child together

Yet, he would call her 'Annalise' all the time.

He thought, "How long has Zane been with Annalise for? When did he start addressing her affectionately?"

So, Steven was greatly irritated by that. He looked at me, then looked away. "Do you even have to ask?

He added confidently, "I know better than anyone that she loves me."

Since he was certain that I loved him and that couldn't leave him, he behaved terribly toward me

Even though I became furious and divorced him, Steven thought that I'd come back to him if he comforted me

After that, Zane looked at me. It was finally time to express my opinion..

I couldn't understand it. Though I told Steven many times that I didn't love him anymore, and that I wanted to start a new life, he didn't believe it.

So, 1 said calmly, "I'm not planning to go back to you."

On the other hand, Steven looked at me in disbelief. "Annalise, it's fine if you throw a tantrum during another time! But, if you accidentally say something wrong to humiliate Zachary this time, he won't forgive you in the future!"

He seemed to think that by exaggerating the consequences of my actions, I would be scared.

However, I simply laughed. "Isn't that great? Steven, I hope both of you will never disturb me again."

Perhaps I looked too calm, because Steven was stunned by my gaze.

He couldn't understand why I was so heartless.

Just then, Zane said, "I'm sure you've noticed by now that Anna doesn't want to go back to you.

"Your son did something wrong. So, what's your answer, Mr. Pellam?"

As expected, Steven didn't want his company to be affected. As such, he could only give in. "I'll ask Zachary to apologize."

Once they reached an agreement, Holly called Zachary over

Steven looked at me before saying, "Zachary, apologize to Willow."

"Why?" Meanwhile, Zachary burst into tears. "She stole my mother. I hate her!"

1 frowned while I watched him cry. His actions annoyed in "Zachary," I said.

When Zachary heard my voice, he stopped crying and looked at me

Ever since Jessica became his mother, she started treating him badly. His discomfort grew when he gradually recalled how well I took care of him

Meanwhile, I replied impatiently, "Your mother is Jessica, and lam Willow's mother".

Whsle Llooked at him, Leally added, "Willow loves me a lot, so she won't steal your mother away from you. Don't worry about that.
