The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Steven said slowly, "I found out a lot of things today. Cody told me you didn't just divorce Casper because of the bankruptcy."

Jessica pushed Steven away and looked at him. She asked, "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Steven apologized and said, "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you."

But Jessica didn't mind. She said, "It's not a misunderstanding. I may have been too firm when I left you then, so it must have given you the wrong impression of

me."

"Annalise told me that if I don't treasure you now, I might regret it," Steven said, looking directly at Jessica.

He continued, "After thinking about it, I thought she was right. Starting today, I'm going to treasure every day I get to spend with you."noveldrama

Upon hearing that, Jessica smiled and said, "Sure. But I've been busy with my business lately."

Steven said, "I will support you."

"Thanks," Jessica said genuinely.

Used to not having money to spare, Jessica developed the habit of saving money. Now that she was running her own business, she quietly planned what she could get Steven to buy for her. Otherwise, all her efforts to please Steven would be in vain.

"To compensate you for how I've been so cold to you, I'll give you a set of jewelry. Why don't you pick them out yourself?" Steven said, knowing what Jessica liked.

When Jessica heard that, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Really?"

Finding Jessica's reaction cute, Steven gently ruffled her hair and said, "Yes. We can get a set of jewelry for Cody and the baby, too. Oh, I also plan to bring Zachary in to live with us."

Jessica knew Zachary would never forgive Steven. But seeing how determined Steven was, she had no choice but to agree.

"Sure."

"In that case, I'll tell Zachary about it. Okay?" Steven asked.

Jessica smiled and said, "Sure."

Then, Steven hurriedly turned around to leave. But when he got to the door, he turned around and said, "Let's

go shopping, and then we can

go to their kindergarten."

Jessica wrapped her arms around Steven's and said, "No problem."

During the drive, Steven was looking out for Jessica and the baby, so he drove

slowly and cautiously. Jessica leaned into the seat and silently gazed at Steven.

Jessica had expected Steven to

waste more time on Annalise. But to her surprise, he moved on quickly. Unfortunately, Jessica didn't love Steve either. Even if Steven was willing to spend money on her, he would still not have received the outcome he wanted.

As long as Steven had money, Jessica would stay by his side. After all, she could never say no to money.

Steven parked his car outside the shopping mall.

When Jessica looked at diamonds, she no longer had the same craze she used to have for jewelry. Not long ago, she sold much of her. jewelry Among them, the value of diamonds depreciated greatly, and only the larger-carat diamonds could be sold at a similar value to the original price.

As for emeralds, there was room for appreciation, but that only applied to those that were originally expensive.

Jessica didn't bother looking at the diamonds. She wanted jewelry that would hold its value when resold. She didn't want jewelry that was only good for display.

When she saw the better quality emeralds, she asked about their price. After the salesperson told her the price, Jessica's face fell. It was extremely expensive! Turning to look at Steven, Jessica wondered if he would be willing to buy it for her.
