The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 530

Zane chuckled and said, "It's okay. Anna, it'll be too tiring for you to travel back and forth. I'll be worried for you."

It felt odd. Every time I heard Zane's sweet talk in such a serious tone, I would feel warm and fuzzy inside.

In response, I said, "Okay. Shall we meet outside the kindergarten?"

Zane answered, "Sure."

The driver sent me to the kindergarten. I opened the door and walked to the side, waiting for Willow to appear.

"Anna."

Upon hearing somebody call my name, I turned around, only to see Steven walking toward me. Immediately, my smile faded, and I turned around, wanting to return to the car.

Steven got in my way and said, "I have something to tell you."

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear it," I said icily.

But Steven didn't give me any room to reject him. He immediately said, "A few days ago, I went to a psychiatrist…"

I looked at Steven. He continued, "He asked me a lot of questions. After thinking about it, I realized that I had treated you poorly in our marriage.

"I didn't like Jessica, but I got more intimate with her because she was my first love. And in that process, I isolated and hurt you. That was my fault."

After silently hearing what Steven had to say, I asked emotionlessly, "And?"

I continued, "I don't need you anymore. Do you hear me?

"You don't have to come to me every time you find new answers or discover the smallest signs of your love for me, telling me that you still love me. It's unnecessary, and those things don't serve any purpose aside from wasting my time."

As if Steven hadn't expected that I really had no feelings for him anymore, he hurriedly rushed forward, trying to grab my hand.

"Anna…"

I backed away subconsciously.

Before Steven could get hold of my hand, he was stopped in his tracks.
