Chapter 278 But there was nothing Steven could do. He slumped back in his car seat. He had no right to interfere, after all. All he could do was watch Zane and Annalise grow closer. His phone lit up with a message. Expecting work stuff, he glanced at it.

I'm her present and future. Hope that's clear." Zane pocketed his phone and looked away. Curious, I asked, "Did you see something interesting?" "Nothing, really." He smiled. "I thought I saw a magpie." He secretly thought that he was lucky that Steven had given up on such an amazing woman like Annalise. Because of that, Zane had a chance to pursue her. His smile grew wider at the thought. "Really?" I asked, confused.

"The nanny and the driver are both off today, so I have no one to talk to. ver And Cody's too young to understand." Her voice cracked. "If you don't come, I think I might lose my mind..." Steven gripped his steering wheel while still staring in Zane's direction.

Jessica waited, thinking he wouldn't come.

Then, suddenly, Steven said, "I'm on my way."

Up on the balcony, Zane watched Steven's headlights flick or as he drove away.

Crossing his legs casually, Zane sent another message with intrigue. Letguess who made you leave."
