Anastasia looked at Alastor in shock. She did not know how he was able to say something so shocking.
âWhat did you say? Did you say that you forgave me? Ha!â Anastasia laughed. She averted her gaze because she did not want tears to fall down her face.
âAnastasia, I swear. Felicia and Iâ¦â Alastor wanted to explain, but it seemed that all the explanation was useless.
Anastasia did not want to hear it.
âLetâs not mention those things anymore. The divorce agreement has been revoked. I havenât thought about it carefully⦠Alastor said in a low voice.
âWhen will you think about it?â The only thing that Anastasia wanted was a divorce, âL. Alastor did not know what to say.
âAlastor, Snowball is gone. The child is gone⦠Do you think thereâs still a chance for us?â Anastasia did not think Alastor suddenly wanted to stop the divorce because he fell in love with her.
Alastor had probably gotten used to her gentleness for the past four years.
âAnastasia, come on⦠I owe you everything about the child and Snowball. I can make up for itâ Alastor did not want to see Anastasia like this.
âStop it, Alastor. You donât love me, but you want to keep me with you. Moreover, you have ruined me, and you still want to trap meâ¦â Anastasiaâs voice was hoarse. âIâll give you time to think about the time to file the divorce. I donât think the divorce agreement can be revoked. Itâs because there are two copies of it, and you have already signed them.â
After a long silence, Anastasia spoke again. âI have fallen in love with someone else. If you agree to divorce, I will marry again.â
âAnastasia!â Alastor looked at Anastasia angrily. âI wonât let you be with Jason. He canât give you the life you wantâ¦â âSorry, but itâs my business.â Anastasia wanted to open the door, but Alastor had already locked it.
âOpen the door, Alastor!â Anastasia was slightly angry.
âAnastasia, letâs stop fighting, okay? I can give you everything that Jason can give you. I know that youâll hate me because of the child and Snowball. Weâll start over.â Alastor seemed to be very persistent about not having a divorce.
Meanwhile, Anastasia did not know what provoked Alastor these few days.
âThen, what about Felicia? How are you going to deal with it? What about the child in her womb? Or are you really planning to have a harem? You donât want to get a divorce, but you want to have a mistress outside?â Anastasia looked at Alastor.
Alastor was silent.
It was obvious that he had not figured out how to deal with Felicia yet.
âAnastasiaâ¦â Alastorâs voice was hoarse. âGive me some time to deal with it.â
âTime?â Anastasia smiled. What she lacked the most was time.
In fact, she did not have much time to wait.
âAlastor, I canât wait for you.â Anastasia shook her head.
Alastor held the steering wheel tightly. âIâll drive you home.â
âIâm not going back to the place anymore. Iâve moved all my things out. Drop me off here, and I will leave on my own.â Anastasia refused to go back.
âAnastasia!â Alastor was suppressing his anger. âI will give you time to think about it before Winter Light Festival!â
Anastasiaâs fingers were numb as she knew that Alastor was going to do something to her.
He wanted her to accept the reality.
Anastasia thought they could file for divorce and obtain the divorce certificate once she had a good talk with Alastor.
Nevertheless, she did not expect that Alastor was very persistent and did not want to get a divorce.
Moreover, he did not want to let her go.
Anastasia did not want to file for divorce. It was because once the lawsuit was filed, Alastor would refuse to get a divorce during their first appearance in court. In that case, it would be adjourned for half a year.
Anastasia could not wait for half a year.
Anastasia dragged herself in exhaustion back to the Hillscester Mansion. Meanwhile, Jason was already waiting for her inside the house.
11:31 âWhy didnât you let me pick you up in the hospital?â Jason felt slightly wronged.
âIâm afraid the reporters will take photos of us and write nonsensical things.â Anastasia sat on the couch and smelled a whiff of a cooked meal. âDid you cook?â
Jason nodded. âAre you hungry? I cooked chowder.â
Anastasia felt slightly moved and nodded. âIndeed⦠Iâm a little hungry.â
Then, Jason smiled. âCome on. Letâs have our meal.â
Anastasiaâs eyes were nearly brimming with tears as she heard his simple words telling her to have a meal.
As she looked up at the ceiling ironically, Anastasia got up and walked to the dining room.
âDid you wash your hands?â Jason took an alcohol wipe and helped Anastasia to wipe her hands.
Meanwhile, Anastasia looked at Jason blankly.
It was a feeling that gave her the illusion of home.
