Steve cleared his throat. He didn't know that she could make him get awkward just from her gaze. From the look on her face and her attitude all this time. Anna does look cold.
However, he did not expect the woman to have such a gaze.
Is Anna a famous model with her fierce gaze?
"I apologize, I didn't mean to make you remember your old wounds. I'm just telling you what I feel," Steve said, trying to apologize.
Come to think of it, he shouldn't have brought it up again. Maybe she was traumatized by what happened to her.
Anna sighed when she saw Steve's attitude.
"I've told you many times that's not the case! I do not have any relationship with Dinda's husband! Looks like I have to call Dinda so you can trust me!" Anna said then finally took out her cellphone to call her friend.
Steve tried to hold her back because it was completely unnecessary, but Anna called her anyway. She had to clear up this misunderstanding.
Not long after, Steve's face immediately flushed with embarrassment when he heard Dinda's words accompanied by the woman's laughter.
So he's been wrong all this time?
"Thank you for the clarification Dinda. Let's meet sometime," said Anna who was still holding her cellphone which turned on the loudspeaker.
"Okay, but how come the two of you can meet in the daytime like this? I didn't think you two were close," Dinda said in a tone that sounded curious.
"We just met. Nothing wrong with that. I'll call you later, Dinda!" Steve answered then immediately hung up the phone. Currently he is really embarrassed and can't talk to Dinda.
"Now you know the truth. I have no relationship with Dinda's husband!" Anna said with a snort and then put her cellphone back in.
Steve cleared his throat when he heard that. He was really embarrassed right now.
"I apologize!" Steve finally said with a flushed face with embarrassment.
"He looks cute with a flushed face like that," thought Anna when she saw Steve who looked embarrassed. It was the first time she had seen the man's attitude like that, and her heart was really pounding again.
Ah… what's wrong with her? All this time she thought she wasn't the type to fall in love easily, but that didn't seem to be the case with the man sitting next to her.
Was it because he was a man who didn't take advantage of her when she was drunk? Or because there are some traits of the man who are similar to Michael?
Anna didn't know.
"Alright, I will accept your apology. After all, you paid for my drink," Anna replied nonchalantly then raised her glass again and drank.
Steve just smiled when he heard that before he was lost in his thoughts again.
"So… what happened? Were you dumped by women?" Anna asked after a moment of silence between them.
"No, it's not like that," Steve said quietly and took his glass.
"Then?" asked Anna curiously. "A man goes to a bar to drink usually because he was dumped by a woman, or… rejected by a woman," Anna continued, starting her conjecture.
Steve shook his head.
"It's worse than that," Steve replied.
If Sarah had rejected him, or she had dumped him because she wanted to get back with her ex-husband, Steve would have been sad, but he didn't think his feelings would have been this complicated.
Sarah accepted his feelings, only this time she was no longer alone. There is a baby in her womb.
"She's pregnant," Steve said curtly.
Anna couldn't hide her surprised expression when she heard those words. The man she likes has impregnated a woman? Wow… Anna was really at a loss for words.
It seemed she had lost her chance.
"Well… it can't be helped. You guys have sex, you come inside. What do you expect? Of course a baby will come," answered Anna in a cold tone.
"Of course I wouldn't look like this if it was my baby. It belongs to her ex," Steve replied with a sad smile.
If it was his baby, Steve would of course take responsibility. He didn't have any plans to get married yet, but if that was the case, he would marry Sarah.
However, that is not what happened.
"You're being cheated on," Anna commented and took another sip of her drink. Now she understood why the man had decided to drink when the sun was still on the top.
"No, it's not like that. The relationship between the three of us is a little complicated," said Steve, who couldn't explain everything to Anna.
"I see. Then what do you want to do?" asked Anna curiously.
Right now Anna really wanted to know if she had a chance with him or not.
"I don't know. I really don't know what to do," Steve said then rubbed his face in frustration.
"That's not your baby. So isn't it obvious? You are not responsible for that," said Anna nonchalantly.
"But ... I really love that woman," Steve said then turned to Anna. Since then the two of them had been talking while looking ahead.
"Then accept the baby. That's all you can do. If you can't accept it, then explain it to the woman," said Anna while looking at Steve.
Right now, that was all Anna could say. She had hoped that Steve would do the latter, but Anna was trying to be neutral.
"But…" Steve couldn't continue.
He knew it was a choice he had to make. Either accept the baby, or end his relationship with Sarah.
However, how could he do that? Sarah had chosen him and he loves her.
"You really are pathetic!" said Anna then raised her glass and drank it in one gulp.
"You clearly cannot accept the baby. If so, get it done! Normal men would do that, some would even leave even if it was theirs! No one will blame you!" said Anna finally let out her heart when she saw Steve who looked confused.
She knew right now she sounded biased because she liked him, but she thought it was best for Steve.
"After all, you are a human and not a saint. If the woman blames you, it means her feelings for you are not as sincere as you think! If she was sincere, she wouldn't have put you in this position!" continued Anna who looked annoyed.
Steve was just silent when he heard the woman's words and didn't say anything. He just took his glass and drank it.
He knew that what Anna had said was true, but Steve simply didn't know anymore.
Suddenly, Steve's eyes widened as he felt a hand touch his cheek to turn his head to the left, and the next second he felt something touch his lips.
The owner of the lips was the woman sitting beside him. Anna kisses him!
