Chapter 543
Steven’s company had allocated an apartment for one as his hostel. It had everything he needed.
“Annie, you…” Steven was surprised when he saw Annie’s pale face. She looked sick.
Annie hugged Steven and nuzzled against his chest. She pleaded, “Put your arms around me, Steven. Hold me.”
In the time they’d spent together, they’d done some of the things one would expect in a relationship. They’d held hands and shared a few kisses. However, Annie seldom behaved so forwardly.
Steven suddenly felt that he and Annie had entered the next stage of their relationship. His heart throbbed for Annie’s helplessness, and he embraced her with all his might.
“Don’t be scared. No matter what has happened, I’ll face it with you. Believe me, Annie,” Steven consoled her softly.
Tears streamed down Annie’s face silently. Her eyes were red and swollen.
Steven looked down at his tear–stained shirt. He felt a pang of anguish upon seeing it.
“Really? Will you believe me no matter what happens? Will you face it with me? Can I believe you, Steven?” Annie asked softly.
Steven gently caressed Annie’s head and said, “Yeah. You can always trust me, even when you’re in doubt of everyone around you. Since I made the choice to be with you, I’ve
prepared myself to face all sorts of challenges with you.”
Steven did not make promises often. Once he made one, he would keep to it.
Annie was deeply touched. This was the first time she’d been the recipient of such genuineness. At the same time, regret filled her
Would she be in much less trouble today if she hadn’t agreed to Grayson and Thomas‘ plans? Would she feel less diffident in front of Steven?
Without realizing it, Steven had occupied a space in her heart. Although he wasn’t as important as Joe, she couldn’t ignore how much he meant to her.
“Steven, I believe you. I know you. You’re kind. You will fulfill the promises you’ve made. That’s why I chose you,” Annie said softly.
Steven noticed that she seemed much calmer. He took her hand and led her to the couch. They sat down.
Annie saw a glass of milk and a plate of half–eaten eggs on the dining table. She asked, ” Have I interrupted you from having breakfast? You should eat first.”
Chapter 343
“I’m not hungry. Let’s talk about what’s going on with you,” Steven said softly.
Annie bit her lip and repeated, “You should eat first. I’ll tell you about it after you’re done.”
Steven smiled warmly. He gave her a fond nod and said, “Alright. I’ll eat now. However, I can eat while listening to you speak.”
“We’re not in a rush,” replied Annie. She balled Her hands into fists.
Steven did not insist on conversing immediately. He sat down and finished his half–eaten breakfast.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
