Bang! Suddenly, the fireworks burst into the air.
Fireworks bloomed in the sky.
Anastasia was amazed and stared at the sky.
âItâs beautiful. It is just that this moment is too transient,â she exclaimed silently.
Anastasia gazed at the fireworks, and Jasonâs eyes were fixed on her.
It was as if they were witnessing the most beautiful scenery in the world.
âThe beauty of fireworks lies in their fleeting nature. They leave behind a trace of awe-inspiring beauty,â
Anastasia said, raising her hand as if trying to grasp the transient splendor.
Jason took photos of the fireworks and sent them to Anastasia.
Anastasia took a look and smiled. âYouâve taken such good photos.â
âTheyâre beautiful fireworks.â Jason smiled. âIâll be by your side until you accept me.â
The sound of fireworks was too loud, and Anastasia couldnât hear Jasonâs words clearly.
The next morning, Anastasia appeared at Alastorâs house.
âWhy didnât you come in?â Alastorâs eyes were red. Anastasia wondered if he didnât sleep last night.
Alastor opened the door and looked at Anastasia standing outside.
Anastasia looked at the door lock. âYouâve deleted my fingerprints and changed the password, have you not?â
Alastor was stunned for a moment before he remembered. âI changed my fingerprint lock and password. Itâs to guard against my momâ¦â
Because she knew the password to his house, she entered the house easily and took Snowball away.
Anastasia didnât say anything and went straight to the door.
âThe password is the day Snowball came home,â Alastor spoke again.
Anastasia stopped and said in a deep voice, âSnowball is dead.â
Anastasia walked into the kitchen and helped him make breakfast.
Soon, the hot breakfast was served.
Looking at the breakfast on the table, Alastorâs heart softened a little. âHave you made up your mind to live here?â
Anastasia didnât say anything.
âYou only have one day to think about it.â After breakfast, Alastor said again, âThink it over. My assistant will come to pick you up later, and weâll attend the dinner party. Dress up nicely.â
Anastasia clenched the fork in her hand, torn between wanting to refuse and being afraid of Alastorâs reaction if she did.
Alastor put down his fork and motioned Anastasia to prepare clothes for him.
Anastasia took a deep breath and helped Alastor find the suit he was going to wear today, as usual.
Alastor knew that Anastasia always had a good fashion sense.
âIâm leaving now. Donât be late for dinner.â
After saying that, Alastor left.
Anastasia cleaned the kitchen and dining table, then sat on the couch, lost in thought.
At 2:30 PM, Alastorâs assistant came to the door.
âMs. Lawson, Mr. Lopez asked me to pick you up,â the assistant said indifferently.
In the past, he had to call Anastasia Mrs. Lawson even if he was reluctant to do so, but now, he just addressed her as Ms.
Lawson.
Anastasia was not in high spirits. âTake me to Laces in Garments for a gown.â
Felicia had donated her gown. Besides, Anastasia also didnât have any suitable clothes for going out.
The assistant looked disgusted. âSorry, Laces in Garments is for members only.â
Anastasia was stunned for a moment. She almost forgot that she had tailored gowns in Laces in Garments under Alastorâs name.
âWhat? Didnât I attend the dinner party as Mrs. Lopez?â Anastasiaâs voice was low.
The assistant didnât dare to say anything. âLetâs go.â
Anastasia got in the car with a sullen face and found that the assistant had been deliberately making a detour.
âIs Laces in Garments far away?â Anastasia could tell that the assistant deliberately wanted her to be late or make a fool of herself.
âSorry, Iâm not familiar with the road,â the assistant said perfunctorily.
âAs an assistant of Alastor, youâre not even familiar with the way. You can take the blame and resign.â
Anastasia was a little angry.
The journey from Alastorâs house to Laces in Garments was supposed to take only ten minutes.
However, the assistant spent thirty minutes driving her there.
When the car stopped in front of Laces in Garments, Anastasia understood why.
Felicia was also there, apparently here to choose a gown too
