Chapter 1567
Feeling Hannah nestled against him once again was a joy beyond words, a sensation so intense he wanted to shout
it from the rooftops. Brimming with happiness, Steven reached for his phone and sent a message in their four-
person WhatsApp group, [Anyone still awake?]
As usual, the only immediate reply was from Zavier, [What’s up now?]
Steven texted back, [Hannah has lifted my exile. She’s even letting me stay the night.]
Zavier responded with an eye-roll emoji before adding, [You’re not the Steven I know. When did you become so
demeaning?]
Steven replied, [I’ll do anything to win my wife back. I’d even kneel in the pouring rain for days like in those

Zavier simply texted back, [Huh.]
Steven asked, [What are you doing up this late?]e2
Zavier replied, [Drinking.]
Steven advised, [Don’t drink too much. It’s bad for you.]
Zavier didn’t respond.
Meanwhile, Lucas sent a string of emojis.
Steven asked, [Why are you still up?]
Lucas replied, [Got drunk with my father-in-law tonight. I can’t sleep.]
Steven suggested, [Ask your house-help to make you some black coffee.]
Lucas asked, [Marc, is it really that important to have kids? Do two people need to have children to be truly
together?]
Steven corrected, [It’s Steven, not Marc. Open your eyes.]
Lucas asked, [Who are you?]
Steven replied, [Your dad!]
Lucas said, [Dad, I’ve told you, I don’t want kids. It’s not about Rosie. I don’t want kids. If you want grandkids have
another son and let him give you grandkids.]
Steven felt like he’d unintentionally discovered something important.
Steven texted, [You and Rosie have been in love since childhood. Why don’t you want kids?]
Lucas replied, [I don’t want Rosie to have kids. I don’t want her to be in any danger. I can’t even imagine what life
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwould be like without her.]
Steven replied, [If you don’t want have kids, then don’t. There’s no law saying you have to.]
Once the message was sent, Lucas didn’t reply. Steven didn’t know if he’d fallen asleep or if he’d been discovered
and was being lectured. Either way, Steven didn’t have any spare energy left to worry about others..
Looking down at Hannah’s delicate face, he couldn’t help but pull her closer, holding her tightly. Inhaling the scent
he loved so much, he quickly drifted off to sleep. He hadn’t slept this well in over a year since he and Hannah had
finalized their divorce.
When he woke up, the sun was already up, and Hannah was nowhere to be found. Just like him in the past, she’d
spent the night and then left early, leaving him alone without a word.
Waking up to find his loved one gone was a letdown, but before he could wallow in the feeling, he spotted a note
left by Hannah.
