"Take me to school!" low said.

I tried my best to hold back my laughter. Then, I looked back at Zane. He seemed to be in a good mood, a rare smile on his usually expression When we arrived at the kindergarten, I happened to see Steven dropping off Zachary

Willow held her head high and proudly walked past Zachary

I felt very relieved when I saw her bravely clenching her fists.

When Zachary walked up to me, he paused. I didn't look at him, and strangely, he didn't talk to me. Instead, he went straight into the school Willow disappeared from my view, walking into the school building. Then, Steven stopped me. He said, "Jessica and I are doing well right now." Having been forced to stop, I looked up at him and asked, "So?"

Steven looked at me condescendingly and said, "Even if you regret divorcing me and want to get back together-"

I interrupted him. "I'm very happy now, so don't worry, Steven. I won't get back together with you."

Steven was stunned.

I sounded calm and composed as I said, "I hope you and Jessica will have a long and happy life together."

After saying that, I walked around him and was about to leave.

However, Steven grabbed my wrist and said, "This can't be right..."

Lasked in confusion, "What can't be right?"

"Don't you still love me?" Steven found my behavior different from what he had imagined.

He continued, "Even if you're pretending not to care about me, you're just trying to make me regret my actions. You just want me to know how important you are. You should be furious to see me being close with another woman!" Steven must have always thought that as long as he pretended to be affectionate with Jessica, I would lose my composure. Then, 1 would cry and beg him for his forgiveness.

He probably never expected me to remain this calm and look away from him, as

if I were looking at an insignificant stranger. "Don't read too much into this." I pulled my hand away and said, "Steven, this is all in the past. I don't care about this anymore." After saying this, I left him behind.

Zane followed behind me, and he looked back at Steven, a hint of mockery in his cold eyes. Then, he looked away.

Meanwhile, Steven stood there in shock. In other words, Annalise didn't like him anymore. He was strangely terrified. "Steven." Jessica stared at Steven warily and said, "You don't look so

"I'm fine," answered Steven. He couldn't t force a smile and say, "Let's go."

Jessica remained silent as she followed behind Steven. If Steven really liked Annalise, things wouldn't be easy for her in the future. Therefore, she had to make Steven believe he didn't have feelings for Annalise! After Jessica got into the car, she chose her words carefully and said, "Steven, I thought about it, and I still noticed that you're in a bad

"I don't know either." Steven was telling the truth. He said, "I just feel very depressed after Annalise set boundaries between us."
