The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

“annalise must’ve been aware of this,” Gavin said. “You two were married for six years. Even if she didn’t develop feelings for you, she must at least be possessive of you.” 

He explained further. “To reconcile, she would try everything she could to Trigger you. First, she pretended to no longer be in love with you by treating another man well, You’d feel up 

because of that 

“Then, you couldn’t help but miss hec. If you could’t suppress the urge to meet her, she’d pretend to be close to other men.” 

Steven never thought Annalise would do all that just to get back with him. His frustration gradually dissipated after heating Gavin’s explanation 

With a smile, he asked. “What should I do, then?” 

“ignore he,” said Gavin nonchalantly. “She’ll eventually realize that those tactics don’t work on you, and she come back to you sobbing and asking you to get back with her.”

Gavin the fished our his phone and dialed her number 

“Hello” Annalise’s voice sounded from the phone.|| 

I was busy adding speech bubbles to my comic when my phone started ringing. Picking it up, I answered the call. 

“You are?” I asked. It was a stranger’s number. 

“I’m Steven’s friend” said the person. He didn’t beat around the bush. 

It was odd. I wasn’t close to any of his friends, so why would any of them call me? 

was about to hang up when he said, “He’s in a foul mood today and called us to grab a drink at the bar. But be refused to tell us anything. He just won’t stop drinking. He’s already drunk, but he just won’t stop calling your name while crying‘ 

He continued, “We wanted to drive him back, but he said he wouldn’t leave unless you co 

How touching! This friend of 

had quite the silver tongue

After a pause, Fadded. “Leuides, I’ve made it very clear that he and I are throuded, so we won’t see each ot er again. You can just drive him home.”
