Chapter 61
Steve nodded and started walking deeper into the park, with me right behind him.
“Why did you leave that group chat?” he asked as we strolled along.
“It’s your guys‘ group. I don’t talk much in there anyway. Plus, when I’m in it, you all have to watch what you say, especially the dirty jokes,” I explained honestly. This had happened before, and Jace had to remind them.
Back then, Jace had said, “Watch it, guys. My fiancée is here.”
I’d read that words “my fiancée” many times, feeling like I had the whole world.
“You’re very considerate,” Steve’s voice brought me back to the present.
I didn’t reply, and Steve stopped at a roller coaster. “Can I sit?”
“Of course.”
After I said that, he really did sit down and started the ride.
This is pretty fun,” Steve said, transforming into a kid at heart.
I watched him, staying quiet. After a few spins, Steve finally spoke up. done with Jace?”
Are you u
Leaning against a support beam, I answered, “You know I have a thing about cleanliness, right?”
Steve spun around again before replying. “Don’t you think letting go so easily is just giving others what they want?”
“I’ve always been compassionate.”
Steve laughed at my response. He paused the ride and stepped off. “Do you know what everyone said after you left the group chat yesterday?”
“I don’t want to know,” I replied bluntly.
But Steve insisted. “They all said that if you let go so easily, it just means you didn’t love Jace enough,”
I nodded slightly. “Maybe.”
“Do you know how Jace reacted?” Steve asked, watching me intently. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Steve gave me a thumbs up. “In that sense, you two are really well–matched.”
“Now he’s better matched with a red rose,” I said just as Demi came running over.
“Keira, the food delivery is here. Are you gonna eat?” she asked.
I glanced at Steve. “If you don’t have anything else to do, you can keep playing here. I’m gonna
eat.”
Go ahead. I’ll play around,” Steve said, sometimes acting Just like a kid. Although he was closest to Jace, he was also close to me. Hence, he didn’t try to persuade me; he just asked for my thoughts and told me what I needed to know.

“Keira, you’re really something.” Steve’s voice called from behind me.
I turned. “What?”
“You even liked Jace’s post. That’s impressive! Steve gave me another thumbs up.
I smiled faintly. “He posted it for me to see. I wanted to let him know I saw it.”
During our meal, Demi, ever the gossip, asked, “Keira, is that guy here on Jace’s orders?”
“No, he’s just here to chat. Don’t overthink it. Even if the president himself showed up, it wouldn’t make a difference,” I said, making Demi sigh.
“Keira, you’re really tough. If it were me, I’d waver,” Demi admitted.
“Everyone’s got their own strengths,” I said, poking at my food. I realized I had no appetite and even felt a little nauseous.
Just then, my phone rang. It was Eugene. He said the lighting engineers had arrived.
I asked him to bring them in and forced myself to eat a few more bites. I needed the energy to run around and work.
