His Domineering Lover
Chapter 1079

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Steve. He could not even find his own voice.

"You, you... what did you say?"

"Steve, I, Thirza, love you. I have loved you since a long time ago."

"You don't even understand what love is! You are just a child" Steve's face suddenly became indifferent, realizing this was not a joke.

Thirza didn't want to confess her love under such circumstances, but she couldn't help it. The thought that Steve could be taken away by that woman made her convulsive.

She didn't care what would happen if she said it out loud. She must say it out.

She took off her clothes with a smile and said, "Steve, I've grown up."

Steve quickly pulled her clothes up and said, "Thirza, are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. I know exactly what I'm doing. Steve, don't make too loud a sound, or Aunt Evalyn will hear it..."

She smiled slyly. Steve really couldn't do anything to this girl. She was his weak point.

"Steve, listen to me, I have loved you since I was a child. Back then, it was a certain kind of attraction about you."

"When mommy asked me to come back to them, I felt panic at the thought that I could not see you often in the future. "That's why I didn't go back to them and asked you to take care of me. I don't know when I started to like you."

"I kept in mind how good you were to me, so I said that I would marry you when I grew up."

"But Steve, you have forgotten your promise to me and you tramped on it over and over with being with Lucille and now this Evalyn."

Steve came to his senses from Thirza's words and said, "Thirza, I just took it as a joke."

"A joke? My mom told my dad that she was going to marry him and back then she was also only six years old.'

"Why could my dad hold up to their promise while you couldn't?"

"Thirza, I have to tell you that our situation is completely different from your mom and dad's."

"Let alone the fact that I'm 22 years older than you! Can you imagine that?" "I don't care. A relationship has nothing to do with age. What's more, I find boys of my own age boring. I love you for being calm and composed"

Steve frowned and said, "Thirza, if that's the case, then maybe we can put age aside. But my identity... forbids me to do such a thing."

"You should know that I loved your mom before, although later I treated her as a family of mine, that also makes you a family of mine. I have always thought of you as my daughter."

"I have never thought of you as a father. Steve, you and I, we have no real relations. Why can't we be together?"

Steve's face became more indifferent. "We just can't. I'll pretend you never said these things tonight. You can leave now, Thirza."

"Steve! I really love you."

"Get out! Before I get angry." Steve's face was cold.

Since Thirza was a child, she had never seen Steve so serious and indifferent, no matter how much of a mess she had made.

It turned out that Steve would also be angry. Thirza did not dare to say anything else but to leave.

Both of them didn't fall asleep that night. Thirza regretted acting on a whim, blaming herself for not holding it back till a better chance came along.

Whereas Steve was dumbfounded to find out about the way Thirza felt about him.

Love? Did she really understand what love was?

He thought of the seriousness on Thirza's face and how angry she was the last time he told her to leave.

Maybe love was just a new toy to her, something she'd get tired of in no time. They cannot be together.

How was he going to explain all this to Tracey and Adam? Steve pondered over it for the whole night.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, he had to keep a certain distance from Thirza.

He was more or less recovered. Steve got up as usual. Seeing that Thirza had not come out, he still had some worries.

"Eva, go and take a look at Thirza. She's going to be late."

Evalyn's face was filled with joy, hearing Steve calling him Eva. Did it mean that they were getting close to each other now that they were on a first-name basis? She would stop at nothing before melting this gigantic iceberg.

She knocked on the door and pushed it open.

Thirza thought it was Steve who came in.

"Thirza, you're going to be late. Get up quickly."

However, the person who spoke was Evalyn, not Steve.

Thirza's face, which was hidden in the quilt, looked even worse. "I'm not feeling well. I'm not going to school."

"Do you need us to take you to the hospital?" Evalyn was in a good mood and her voice was gentler than usual.

Thirza lifted the blanket. "Us? What right do you have to say 'us'? Who do you think you are?"

"Thirza..." Evalyn did not know why she would say something like that.

Steve appeared at the door and said, "Thirza, where are your manners? Apologize to Eva!" Thirza roared out, "I won't!"

"Steve, it's alright. She's just a kid."

"Since you don't want to go to school, I'll ask for leave for you. Eva, let's go." Steve also said coldly.

Evalyn did not know what the two had said last night. After all, the situation now was beneficial to her.

Hearing Steve calling her Eva, Thirza felt a chill run down her spine.

She clenched her fists and asked, "What did you call her?"

"Eva. I have decided to be officially in a relationship with her. If everything works out well, we will get married in three months. Mind your manners from now on. We will be family soon." Steve's heart was dripping blood when he saw the injured expression on Thirza's little face. But what else could he do?

As a child, Thirza didn't understand the seriousness of this matter. But he was an adult. He couldn't let it happen.

"I'll be the bad guy, then. Thirza, sorry, but I'm doing this for your sake."

"You deserve a better life with a better person. We can't be together."

He had to take out the seed before it budded.

"Steve, are you sure?" Evalyn's face was full of surprise.

"Yes, you are a good woman. I will cherish you."

Thirza looked as Steve take Evalyn's shoulders with his arms. She didn't say anything, just staring at the two of them coldly.

"Steve, is that your answer?"

Under her gaze, Steve felt very uneasy. He thought Thirza would make a scene, but she didn't.

He couldn't figure out what she was thinking at all. But in order to make Thirza give up, he spoke again, "Yes, I have decided to be with Eva."

"Very good."

With her mouth twisted into a wicked smile, Thirza got up and put on a coat.

"Where are you going?"

"Since you've decided to get married and have your own family, it's inappropriate for me to be here anymore. Thanks for taking care of me for so many years. I'm leaving."
