Chapter 404
I said firmly, “Don’t worry. I won’t regret it.”

Matilda promised Zachary she would move into his house to care for him. She quickly packed her belongings and was about to call for a car to help with the move when she heard a knock at the door.
When she opened it, she found Harry standing there. He said politely, “Zachary sent us to help you move your things.”
“Thank you so much. I was just thinking about how I would manage all this stuff if I had to get a car myself,” Matilda said in relief.
Harry smiled and said, “Just leave it to me.”
Matilda didn’t have much to bring her luggage mainly consisted of clothes. She had left the larger items behind since Zachary already had them in the house, and bringing them along would only take up space. Harry placed Matilda’s luggage in the trunk and sat in the driver’s seat. He sighed and said, “Zachary has it tough too. He’s only five years old, yet his biological father abandoned him.”
Matilda teared up after hearing about Zachary’s situation. “Yeah, I can’t believe Steven is so heartless.”
Harry added, “Honestly, I often see Zachary secretly wiping away his tears.”
Matilda felt her heart ache. “Steven is truly despicable. He’s doing all he can to get Zachary to bond with the mistress. He wants Zachary to treat her like his real mother and just get rid of my daughter.
“In the end, Steven thinks of Zachary as a burden. If he knew it would turn out this way, why go to such lengths to take the child away?”
Harry also felt sorry for Zachary. “Exactly! If he had just cheated without dragging Zachary into it, Zachary would probably be living happily with his mother now.”
“Yeah!” Matilda grew angrier as she
thought about it. “You need to drop me off at Steven’s company. I have fat to find a way to confront him. Otherwise, I won’t be able to ease
my resentment!”
Harry agreed readily. “Sure!”

After dropping off Chloe, Steven returned to his office alone. He stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, suddenly feeling like he was going insane. He didn’t understand why he always allowed Jessica to make Annalise suffer. Every time Annalise faced unfair treatment, she would distance herself from him. Steven knew this pattern but kept making the same mistakes. What pained him the most was that his heart would ache terribly whenever he couldn’t see Annalise. How wonderful it would be to go back in time. If only Steven could say goodbye to Jessica and live happily with Annalise. Unfortunately, it was all too late.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Steven composed himself and coldly said, “Come in.”
Matilda pushed the door open with a furious expression. “Steven, what on earth is going on with you?”

Steven quickly stood up to greet her. Although Annalise had given up on him and Zachary, Matilda was someone Annalise couldn’t distance herself from. If he left a good impression on Matilda, perhaps she would see him as a perfect man and encourage Annalise to reconcile with him.
Steven forced a smile. “Please sit down.”
Matilda sat down and raised her voice to reprimand him, “You divorced my daughter and got together with Jessica. I thought you must have found true love, so I didn’t say anything before.”
She felt it was unfair for Annalise. When Annalise was with Steven, he had nothing.
