Back at the office, Steven couldn't stop thinking about what Annalise had said. It dawned on him that he had made so many mistakes.
Ever since marrying Annalise, he had gotten used to thinking she wouldn't have emotional ups and downs because she was so sensible and obedient. He hadn't even realized how much she had been suffering. Now, Steven desperately wanted to break up with Jessica and make it up to Annalise. After making up his mind, he called Jessica.
Jessica's voice cthrough the phone, soft and sweet, "What's up? Do you miss me?" "I'm sorry," Steven said. As soon as he said that, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

If you truly loved her, how could you just let her go?" en She continued as Steven didn't interrupt her, "This idea you have now is just a delusion from being away fromfor so long." Jessica realized that separating from Steven was no longer an option. It had only been a few days yet Steven had already figured out where his heart truly lay. The er thought of her having to manipulate him again was exhausting.
Steven didn't believe Jessica. "Jessica, have I ever told you that every single moment spent with you feels unbearable?" Jessica was struck speechless by his words.
