Chapter 544
Skylar 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.
Skylar decided not to give him any attention for today, She’d start thinking about forgiving him once her bruises began fading.
A laugh escaped Joe. He’d lost control and went at her too hard last right.
She was probably the only one who could make him get carried away in bed, it was fie

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 consolations 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’d come 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.
Skylar 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.
Skylar 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. Skylar 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, Skylar believed that Steven should learn the whole picture.
Skylar 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 planning to make for just the two of us? Let me help you.”
