I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 764

I froze on the spot, staring at Steven.

"What are you talking about? You were the one eager to give me a massage. When did it become me needing you?"

Steven shot me a meaningful glance and suddenly smiled. "Didn't you tell Tess you wanted me to help you?"

His words made it all clear. So, it was all Tess's doing.

But it made sense. Tess was hired by Steven, so naturally, she wouldn't say anything to displease him.

Being able to read the room—that's what a clever person does.

When I didn't respond, Steven's expression immediately turned anxious. He walked over and took my hand. "Are... are you angry?"

I shook his hand off and glared at him. "Stay away from me."

Steven's face grew serious. "Alright, alright. I'm leaving now. Just calm down."

With that, he took the foot bath and left.

Perhaps it was because of the foot soak, but I started feeling drowsy not long after lying down.

However, I kept waking up every half hour, startled each time. I would dream of standing on a cliff edge or of a wrecked car, and I'd wake with my heart pounding in a panic that I couldn't control.

In a hazy state, I felt a sense of warmth and security, and then I drifted off to sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, the clock on the nightstand read 5:00 AM. I turned my head and was met with the close-up view of Steven's handsome face. I was resting on his arm, while his other hand was lightly placed above my waist.
