Kimberly looked at Jason in shock. She thought, âHe has never been a nosy person, but why did he suddenly mention Felicia? Did he know about the affairs between Felicia and Alastor? However, he shouldnât be so blunt about it. It will make Anastasia sad.â
âAnastasiaâ¦â Kimberly wanted to change the topic by saying something else, but then she changed her mind and thought that it was time for Anastasia to give Alastor up. She continued, âJason is right. In fact, I was shocked when I first met Felicia. in Atharia. When she stood at the side quietly, it seemed to be like you, but her personality was completely different from yours. I felt nauseous as soon as she started talking.â
Anastasia remained silent but kept smiling. Then, she poured a glass of wine again.
Jason frowned and took away Anastasiaâs wine glass again.
Sofia and other friends noticed that something was off about him. She asked, âHandsome, do you know Annie?â
âNot really.â Jason looked calm, and his voice sounded like it as well.
âGive me back the wine. Anastasia felt shortness of breath but suppressed her emotions to ask Jason for wine.
âIf you donât love yourself, no one will.â Jason was still educating her.
Anastasiaâs emotions collapsed in an instant. She stood up and snatched the wine glass from Jasonâs hand before she drank it with her head lifted. âYouâre too annoying. Itâs none of your business even if I die on the road.â
Jason remained silent.
Sofia and the others glanced at each other and dared not to say anything.
They could sense that something was off about Anastasia.
âAnastasia⦠I have something to tell you, but Iâm hesitant to say it.â A friend next to Sofia plucked up her courage and added, âI work for Wayscape International Corporation. Our company has always cooperated with your husbandâs company, and the rumors said that the relationship between your husband and his secretary is slightly abnormalâ¦â
It was clear that everyone in the industry knew about their affairs.
âWhat happened?â Sofia asked as she frowned.
âNot long ago, I saw that Mr. Lopez, Anastasiaâs husband, picked his secretary up at the entrance of our companyâs building. Logically speaking, he doesnât need to handle the cooperation personally as a boss. However, he picked up that secretary downstairs and even prepared milk and breakfast for her.â
Her friend added cautiously, âAnnie, I didnât mean to say it now. I was scared to tell you the truth since you have been married for four years. Although there is no wedding, it has always been quite enviable.â
Anastasia threw the wine glass on the table and asked with a smile, âWhen did that happen?â
She was holding back herself, but her eyes had welled up with tears.
âWell, I think it was around the second half of last year.â
Anastasia lowered her head and laughed.
That was when Felicia had just returned from abroad and joined the company.
It turned out that Alastor had been with Felicia not long after she returned from abroad.
Anastasia thought he would take her emotions and feelings into consideration.
In the second half of last year, Anastasia begun to have poor health in her physical condition. She would feel dizzy, tinnitus, and often had joint pain during that period.
At that time, she was busy with the art exhibition. In most cases, she was too busy to eat breakfast.
She had called Alastor after she was sent to the hospital due to low blood sugar and a coma.
However, all Alastor did was ask her to hold all her work and recuperate at home. He did not show up at her art exhibition once, nor helped her, let alone send her breakfast.
Instead, he was worried about Felicia and even sent her breakfast personally.
âAnastasia, arenât you going to do something about it? Youâre his wife. He and his secretary-â Sofia asked in a low voice.
âWhy should I? As Deity of Wealth, he just needs to bear my expenses,â Anastasia retorted with a harsh tone and forced a smile. She then took out the card and handed it to Jason. âBuy anything you want with this card. Stay with me tonight.â
Kimberly gasped in shock and explained quickly, âJason, sheâs drunk. She will act crazy after drinking a little. Donât-
Jason interrupted and said to Anastasia, âOkay.â
Kimberly was stunned as she did not expect Jason to agree to stay with Anastasia.
The precondition is that you have to divorce him.â Jason picked up the bank card from the table and handed it to the bar manager. âI want to pay by card for tonightâs consumption.â
2 FE 25 2 Anastasia knew that Alastor could receive a message about the expenses she had consumed at the bar.
She wondered. âWill he be afraid that Iâll sleep with a man tonight? Will he come?â
Alastor called her when they paid the bill with the bank card.
Anastasia handed the phone to Jason as she said in a hoarse voice, âIâll pay the bill. Answer the phone for me.â
It was easy for Alastor to reach her as all she wanted was to know if he would go to the bar to pick her up that night..
âGo home,â Alastor ordered in a low voice.
