Chapter 1550
Hannah gave him another shove. “Get out, now. In an hour, dawn will break. If my folks see you, forget about ever
sharing this bed with me.”
He couldn’t risk losing all future chances for a moment’s pleasure. Reluctantly, Steven got out of bed and dressed.
“Make it snappy,. Don’t dilly-dally,” Hannah chided. She had never realized how much of a slowpoke this man was.
Steven paused at the edge of the bed, giving Hannah a look of utter despair. “Hannah.
“Out!” she demanded.
Well, when a woman decided to be ruthless, there was no room left for a man.
With a heavy heart, Steven left the Ableson residence. Once he was out of the little town, his spirits lifted, and he

hadn’t let him stay the night? He had gotten to share her bed, and that was progress in his quest to win her back.e2
He didn’t have to sleep in his van anymore. He drove back to his suburban home, took a shower, and then texted
his group of friends.
[Are you guys still awake?]
It was almost dawn. Unless they were night owls, they would be asleep. Jeremy and Lucas didn’t reply, only Zavier
did.
[It’s the middle of the night. They’re probably cuddling their wives. Only us unlucky ones are up.] he texted.
[I’m not unlucky. Things are about to change for me.] Steven replied.
[You think you can win her back?]
[What kind of question is that? Of course, I can win her back. I even spent the night with her.].
[Ha…]
[What do you mean by that, Zavier?]
[If you spent the night with her, why are you texting us in the middle of the night?]
[You wouldn’t understand. I’m just giving her some space to rest. Unlike you, I know how to treat a lady.]
They kept going back and forth, neither of them willing to back down. Their exchange lasted until dawn.
[Why are you guys up? I can’t believe the number of unread messages in this group chat] Lucas chimed in.
[It’s only 6 AM, you’re up already? Why not cuddle your wife a bit longer?] Steven teased.
[I have to go to my in-laws for Thanksgiving. I had to wake up early.]

large, we would all celebrate together.]
[Lucas, I envy you.]
Lucas and Rosie were from the same social class. They were childhood sweethearts and married young. Their love
was as strong as ever. The only issue was that Rosie wanted children, and Lucas wasn’t ready.
[You guys should be envious.] Lucas boasted.
[Shut up.] Zavier grumbled.
[Zavier, I just noticed you’re here.] Lucas teased.
The chat went quiet.
[All right, I’m going to sleep now. You guys can continue your bicker.] Steven decided.
Just as he was about to put away his phone, a new message from Jeremy popped up, I can’t sleep either.]
The three men responded simultaneously, [???]
