I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 777

At my words, Steven's expression changed instantly, his face becoming an unreadable mask.

I'd been with Steven long enough to know him well, and it was obvious he was hesitating.

I just didn’t understand why my heart ached as if it had been pierced by something sharp, even though I’d already predicted this outcome.

The large living room fell into a dead silence.

I smirked. “I thought you said you’d do what I wanted. What’s the matter? Can’t bring yourself to do it?”

All that talk about being devoted to me, and he still couldn't let go of Verna.

Steven turned his head, his brow furrowed. His eyes held an unreadable emotion. Was it sadness? Reluctance? I couldn't put my finger on it, but the look felt hauntingly familiar.

It was the same expression he'd worn in my past life, right after I'd lost our child.

Steven locked his eyes on mine. “Are you serious?”

His question caught me off guard. It felt like if I said yes, he would actually go through with it.

I curved my lips into a faint smile. “What do you think?”

I really couldn't figure Steven out. One moment he acted like he didn't care about Verna, the next he was being incredibly lenient with her.

This wasn't the first time Verna had come after me. Knowing Steven’s personality, he shouldn't have let her off so easily, yet he had, time and time again.

Steven stared at me, his eyes darkening. “Fine. I’ll make her disappear.”

Fine?!

My eyes widened in shock. I had expected him to make up an excuse to placate me, not to actually agree.
