I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 791

I glared at Steven. “Are you threatening me?”

Steven shook his head. “Of course not. I just want to spend a little more time with you.”

I gritted my teeth, a million protests screaming in my head, but I finally gave in. “Fine, I'll do it!”

Just this once, I thought to myself. After tonight, I'll never let Steven set foot in my house again.

Steven let go, and I tried to compose myself before opening the door. Ryan was there, his hand frozen mid-knock. “Zephyra! What are you doing?”

His eyes darted past me, trying to peer into the room.

I faked a yawn, trying to act casual. “Oh, I had a stomachache, so I was in the bathroom.”

Ryan looked at me suspiciously. “Really? You're not lying to me?”

I waved my hand impatiently and started pushing him out. “It's late. I'm going to bed, and you should too.”

“But, Zephyra—” Ryan didn't get to finish before I pushed him out the door.

I shut the door and turned to see Steven coming out of the bathroom. I was furious, but what could I do? He didn't have any pajamas, so I had to dig out a pair of my own for him.

Maybe the whole ordeal had worn me out, because by the time he was done washing up, I was already drifting off to sleep.

In my dream, I felt like I was being held tightly by a big teddy bear. It was so warm.

When I opened my eyes again, the space beside me was empty. I grabbed my phone and saw it was ten o'clock...

I can't believe I slept so soundly!

I unlocked my phone to find a flood of unread messages from Horace. He wanted to see me.
