"Hey? What are you doing here?" Lauren asked when she was sure he had remembered who she was.
Instantly, Steffan drew a veil over his mind. He didn't want to have anything to do with anyone related to Kathleen.
As a matter of fact, she was the reason he was here in the first place— to forget about her for good.
Why continue to cry over spilt milk. He knew he was no match for Shawn in fighting for Kathleen's love, moreover he could tell that Kathleen only had Shawn in her heart despite making things difficult for Shawn all these years.
Not only that, but if his family finds out that he deliberately wants to break apart a family who was trying to find ther bearing, Shawn's anger and alienation would be a child's play compared to what he would get from his family members.
As a matter of fact, they might even force him to get married to Benita to save themselves the embarrassment he would have caused them.
