Chapter 1332

Now that she had her father’s permission, Anastasia happily prepared to go out the next day.

She hadn’t told Lily about it yet. She planned to tell her the good news in person and have her meal at Lily’s house today. She even started to wonder what delicious food would be served.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw Fabian Moore enter carrying two huge shopping bags and was alarmed.

She worried that her aunt had not given up and had made him come over to persuade her father. ‘If he succeeds in swaying my father, then.."

"Tasia, are you going out?" Fabian saw her and asked.

"Yes, Uncle Fabian, you're here to..." She saw him carrying so much stuff and knew he was up to something.

Fabian chuckled. "I’m here to talk to your father about something. Is he home?"

‘I’ve guessed correctly!’

Anastasia blurted out, "My father’s not around—"

Before she finished, Cameron's voice came from behind her, " What's the matter?"

Fabian was puzzled. 'Didn’t Tasia say he’s not home?’

He brushed it off and walked past her with the bags. "Ron, Rhea brought some good stuff for you from Southern Nino a few days ago. Where should I put them?"

"That's very nice of her," Cameron said flatly, "I'm not always home, though, and I don't need them.

Why don’t you take them back?"

"These are dried goods, and you can keep them for a long time! Besides, Rhea wanted you to keep them, and she might get upset if I take them back. Tell her yourself if you want to return her gifts, okay?

I won’t be able to handle her tantrums..."

He laughed and put down the bags at an empty spot.

Anastasia glanced and saw many smaller bags stacked inside them, emitting a mild scent of plants.

"Tasia, aren’t you going out?" Cameron asked after seeing her just standing there.

Catching herself, Anastasia nodded. "Yes, I’m about to."

"where are you going? I thought you didn’t like going out? Since you are, why don’t you visit Rhea?

She just returned from Southern Nino, and I’m sure she has many interesting stories to tell you."

Sitting down, Fabian said laughingly, "You don’t go out much and are not as wild as my daughter. She’s gone everywhere and kept telling your aunt and me about strange encounters we’ve never heard of!"

He tried to sound like he was complaining, but one could tell from his voice and smiling face that he was rather proud.

"Well, as you said, Uncle Fabian, Rhea is different from me. I’m afraid we would have nothing to talk about and she would find me boring instead," Anastasia answered. "I think it's best not to."

Fabian was speechless. Before he could say anything, Anastasia continued, "Dad, I better get going.

Call me if you need me, okay?" Cameron nodded and gazed after her as she left.

Fabian looked astonished. "She's asking you to call her? I thought she used to be scared to answer your call the most?"

Looking away, Cameron did not reply.
