The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 643

"You said you didn't want to acknowledge me as your mother and that you wouldn't support me."

Chloe felt genuinely hurt. In her view, everything she'd done was for her son. Why had it come to this?

"I'm deeply saddened. But..."

Chloe took a deep breath before continuing, "If you want to blame anyone, blame me, not Jessica."

Steven looked at both of them. They were protecting each other, each trying to shoulder the responsibility.

Steven's emotions were in turmoil. "It's not your fault. It's mine. If only I'd been more emotionally stable."

He was the one who ended up hurt the most and lost his ability to have children in the future. Yet somehow, he'd become the one at fault. He felt helpless but had no choice but to compromise. "Shall we go home now?"

Jessica glanced discreetly at Chloe, who nodded. She then said, "I didn't think you wouldn't raise the child."

Steven looked at Jessica in surprise. "Who made you think this way?"

Jessica murmured, "I can't say."

"Then, you're protecting them!" Steven grew angrier. If it weren't for the person planting these ideas in Jessica's mind, his child would still be safe.
