The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 766

When Steven came by, Jessica thought it was Yelena again. She forced a smile but asked, frustrated, "Why are you here again?"

"Again?" When Steven heard that, he narrowed his gaze and asked, "Did somebody visit earlier?"

"It was Yelena," said Jessica, giving way for Steven to enter the house. She was so heavily pregnant that she had to support her back with her hand.

"She said she wants to win Zane over, and she asked for my advice."

After saying that, Jessica realized she had come off a little cold toward Steven. Immediately, she asked gently, "What brings you here?"

Steven replied, "I want to ask you something about kids."

"Kids? I know a lot about children," Jessica said as she gently caressed her belly.

She took Steven by the arm and gestured for him to sit. Then, she said, "But before that, why don't you have a listen? Our baby has a heartbeat now."

Even though Steven no longer had feelings for Jessica, he was still very fond of the baby—after all, it was his baby.

Steven gently leaned against Jessica's belly.

While taking advantage of the situation, Jessica said longingly, "When I first got pregnant, I was looking forward to the birth of our baby. I was hoping that we could live together as a happy family of four."

Then, Jessica began to choke up. She continued, "But who would've expected things to turn out this way? You stopped seeing me, too. Even when the baby misses you, I dare not call you."

However, Steven knew Jessica was lying, and he retorted, "How is it possible for the baby to miss someone?"
