The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 490

Chloe lifted her chin, acting like she'd made the brightest decision ever.

Rowena thought it was completely ridiculous. Chloe ignored her grandson, Zachary, for a baby that wasn't even born yet. How could she be so foolish? But Rowena wasn't about to set Chloe straight.

"Something's off about the way you're treating Steven," Rowena said.

"What's wrong with that?" Chloe asked.

"Well, if you really cared about him, wouldn't you treat Annalise better, too? When you love someone, you usually care about the people they care about."

Chloe waved it off. "I've just never liked Annalise, that's all. Now that I've got a new daughter-in-law, I treat her like a princess. No issues there."

"You might not like her, but you didn't have to make her life harder. Clearly, we see this differently. What do you think about posting our conversation online and letting everyone else weigh in?" Rowena suggested.

Chloe shifted, clearly uncomfortable. "Probably not the best idea. This is a private conversation."

"You don't want it online?" Jasmine teased. "Sounds like you're too afraid to own up to what you said. Does that mean you're just trying to throw us off? Deep down, you know you're in the wrong, right?"

"How shady," Rowena said. "So that's what you're up to—telling us all these things to get us to fight with our families while you just sit back and watch."

"No, that's not it!" Chloe protested. "If you really don't believe me, go ahead and post it. I only stopped you because I didn't think other people needed to know our business."

Rowena shot a quick look at Jasmine. Jasmine smiled. "Alright, I'll post it right now."
