Chapter 544


    Skr sent Steven a text to fix a time to meet. While she was doing so, she heard Joe speak.


    Although she looked up at him, she ignoted him otherwise,


    How would she have her way with him? She wasn’t as fast as him, and he was much stronger than


    her.


    Skr decided not to give him any attention for today, She’d start thinking about forgiving him once


    her bruises began fading.


    Augh escaped Joe. He’d lost control and went at her too hardst right.


    She was probably the only one who could make him get carried away in bed, it was fie


    fault. However, they had a lot of time ahead of them. He would csex her back into his arme

    Steven had a simple breakfast. In reality, he should’ve been having lunch at this hour. He finished


    his milk, eggs, and toast in a few bites. He was absorbed in his thoughts and concern for Annie. He


    didn’t have much of an appetite.


    Annie was distracted. She looked lost. Despite Stever’s soothing constions and promises, she


    remained high–strung,


    In a few minutes, she would know whether Steven really liked her. Annie would learn exactly how


    much she meant to him.


    “I’m done. Now, you can tell me about it,” Steven said. He came to the couch and sat


    beside Annie.


    Steven seemed trustworthy. People depended on him. Perhaps that was because he’d needed to


    care for his younger siblings from a young age.


    Annie’s mess of emotions calmed. It was probably because of Steven’ss ability to calm people.

    Annie took a deep breath and began telling him what happened.


    As Steven listened to Annie’s story, his expression turned somber. When he received Annie’s calls,


    he wondered what had happened. He’de up with multiple possibilities, but this hadn’t been


    something he’d considered,


    As Annie spoke, she watched Steven’s expressions change. She couldn’t help but marvel at


    Steven’s steadiness. No matter what happened, he was able to face it calmly, She couldn’t read his


    emotions from his expression. Only now had Annie noticed Steven’s host of strengths.


    Skr had originally asked St to meet her at the barbecue restaurant they tended to


    visit. However, Steven said he’d been pulling too many all–nighters, and his stomach had been


    acting up. He asked her to meet him at his hostel. He would cook for her.


    Skr had tried Steven’s cooking before. He’d learnt all his cooking skills from Janine, so he wasn’t


    half bad.


    Coincidentally, she’d eaten fondue in the hotel. Skr wasn’t looking forward to greasy


    food.


    While she was making her way there, Paul sent her more information on Annie. With those reports


    and the video, Skr believed that Steven should learn the whole picture.


    Skr had gone to Steven’s apartment twice before. Although it wasn’t big, it was in a quiet


    neighborhood. It had everything he needed.


    When she arrived, Steven was still making dinner.


    “How much are you nning to make for just the two of us? Let me help you.”
