Steven replied absentmindedly, "Maybe."
Jessica frowned. "What's wrong? You don't sound like yourself. Did something happen?"
Steven said honestly, "Yeah. I've been seeing a therapist recently. And then, it hitevery step I've taken, from
being with Annalise until now, has been a mistake."
His voice cracked with pain. "Jessica, why am | so stupid? How could | let it get this far before realizing it?"
Jessica froze, an uneasy feeling creeping over her. His voice carried a raw vulnerability. "Why are you saying this
all of a sudden?"
Steven was feeling devastated, but he had no one to confide in. If Jessica hadn't called, he wasn't sure how long
he could have kept it together.
Tears streamed down his cheek as he choked, "When someone makes a mistake, they should first fix it,
apologize, and make amends.
"But what am | doing? I'm using you to provoke her? All that's going to do is push her even further away." Steven
wiped his tears with his hand. Jessica didn't know how to respond at first. After a long pause, she finally asked,
"Do you regret it?"
"No. But when | think about everything, | realize just how much I've messed up."

Jessica pressed further. "So, are you planning to make it up to Annalise?"
Steven admitted without hesitation. "Yeah. | need to try to be good to her. Don't worry about the money I've
already given you.
"I'm not going to take it back. You can spend it however you want. However, | won't give you any more money."
Jessica's heart sank at his words.
Until she could appease Casper or capture Zane's attention, Steven was her only financial lifeline. If he ignored
Jessica, her life would take a serious hit. en Find
She probed cautiously, "And the baby? You're not going to take care of the child, either?"
For a moment, Jessica felt a flicker of relief. At least she'd claimed the baby was Steven's. Without that, she
wasn't sure how she'd handle the situation.
"I'll take care of the baby. I'll cover your living expenses and child support," Steven replied without hesitation.
Jessica heaved a sigh of relief, then quickly adopted a pitiful tone. "That's good to hear. Otherwise, | really
wouldn't know how the baby and | could survive." "The child is my flesh and blood. I'll make sure he's taken care
of and grows up well."
"Thank you."
After ending the call, Jessica leaned back into her chair and glanced down at her stomach. The baby had been
her trump card. It had been a clever move to use the child asza means to tether Steven, ensuring he provided
her with a life of luxury.
