Chapter 600 Steven’s Threat
Diana eyed him skeptically. She had slept deeply the previous night and couldn’t recall where he had been.
After thinking it over, she asked again, “How exactly did you get in last night? I asked you, but you never answered.”
Steven gave a calm smile, his tall frame looking graceful under the light. In a low voice, he said, “I climbed over the wall. My hands and arms got scratched up. After I showered last night, the wounds seemed to get infected.”
He extended his arm for her to see. His palms were grazed, and. the scrapes, soaked from water, were oozing a yellowish fluid.
Diana knew how painful those kinds of wounds could be.
With a cold laugh, she said, “There were plenty of times when you pushed me down, and my hands ended up just like that. It hurt back then, too.
“So, you deserve it!”
As she headed for the door, she added, “Thanks for telling me how you got in. Once the snow stops, I’ll have the housekeeper put barbed wire up there. Next time, there’s no way you’re getting over it.”
Steven looked at the scrapes on his hands and thought back to

To avoid arousing her suspicions by using the passcode, he had to resort to this.
Now, he realized how painful it could be to have your palms skinned.
He knew he had been wrong in the past, but he wasn’t making any excuses for it.
“Let’s go down for breakfast,” he said.
Diana glared at him, her voice sharp with anger. “Steven, this is my house, not yours. And we’re getting divorced. Can you please learn some boundaries?
“You keep this improper relationship with Queenie. Do you think I’m okay with you doing the same with me?”
Steven raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. “We’re still married. How would that be improper?”
Diana was momentarily stunned. She had forgetten that they weren’t officially divorced yet.

Annoyed, she snapped, “Well, starting tomorrow, no, starting today, you’re not allowed to come to my house anymore. My grandpa and Tobias will be back in a few days. If you don’t want to be thrown out, you’d better keep your distance.”
To her, Steven was already intruding on her life.
She had no idea what he was thinking.
Steven’s actions always left her puzzled.
