Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 103

“Thank you, Mr. Quinn.” Jason was very polite to Zachary. After all, Zachary was the only one who dared to stand up and speak for Anastasia when public opinion caused quite a stir on the internet.

“It’s nothing. But I’m not a philanthropist.” Zachary got up and looked at Jason meaningfully.

He was not a philanthropist and did not have any contact with Anastasia over the years. Naturally, he was only willing to help her because he had his own intention of doing so.

Zachary liked Anastasia very much. Now that Anastasia was going to get a divorce and it caused such a huge commotion, he naturally wanted to fight for a chance.

Jason’s expression darkened. “Goodbye, Mr. Quinn.”

“It’s fine if he wants benefits. But if he wants Anastasia, it won’t happen,” Jason mused to himself.

“About Snowball…” After Zachary left, Jason sat by the bed. “I buried it under the cherry tree in the backyard.”

Anastasia looked at Jason and spoke in a low voice. “The house… We won’t be staying there forever. Now that we buried Snowball there…”

Anastasia spoke cautiously for fear of hurting Jason’s pride.

After all, in Anastasia’s memory, Jace did not like men.

However, in order to survive, he must have suffered a lot abroad.

Jason was embarrassed for a moment. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything.

Anastasia looked at Jason who hesitated to speak. She felt that it must be difficult for him to bring it up. Moreover, it must be some past that he did not want to recall.

“Why did you choose to study abroad, Jason?” Anastasia asked in a hoarse voice.

Jason lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. He did not say anything.

Anastasia’s heart tightened. She was afraid that she might touch on Jason’s painful past, so she quickly changed the topic. “We can’t live in Hillscester Mansion forever, Jason. I still have some savings. Do you think we can rent a house first and buy it later after we have more money?”

Upon hearing her remark, Jason was stunned for a moment and looked up at Anastasia in shock. “Did you say… us?”

Anastasia was silent for a long time before she finally spoke, “Yes.”

Jason’s life had been hard enough. Although she lived a broken life, she always wanted to help others.

“Even if it was six years ago, or even now, I always treat you as a young man, Jason. We can be a family, and we can be siblings. But the only thing that we cannot become is lovers…”.

Anastasia had to remind him about it first.

Before she died, she wanted to take good care of Jason and help him to make all his scars from the past disappear as much as possible. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Moreover, she wanted to take him out of the traumatic events.

Furthermore, she wanted to give him a home.

Nevertheless, she could never be his lover.

It was because Anastasia did not know what crazy things Jason would do after she died once she had that kind of relationship with him.

Jason’s eyes darkened and he kept silent.

After all, they had a long time ahead of them, so he could do it slowly.

Even if he had missed out, Anastasia would still fall in love with him one day.

“We don’t have to rent a house in a hurry. Let’s stay in Hillscester Mansion without any worry. I will work hard to support you and Grandma.” Jason looked at Anastasia solemnly.

It was obvious that he did not take Anastasia’s words seriously.

She could say anything she wanted, but he would do things in his own way.

“Jason…” Anastasia was helpless and wanted to say something more.

Nevertheless, Jason did not listen at all. “Annie, the things that you have at Alastor’s place. Can I call FedEx to pick them up for you today?”

Jason was worried that Anastasia would go back to that house again.

When he looked at how Alastor behaved before, the latter did not look like he wanted to let Anastasia off that easily.

Anastasia thought for a while and nodded. “Okay, but don’t try to have a direct confrontation with Alastor.”

“Sure.” Jason nodded.

Nevertheless, Anastasia still felt slightly distressed as she looked at Jason. Her gaze was fixed on him all the time.

Meanwhile, Jason looked around in confusion and then at himself. “Is there… any dirt on my face?”

He felt that the way Anastasia looked at him was strange.

“Have you suffered a lot all these years, Jason?” Anastasia asked in a low voice. Then, she added, “Why didn’t you contact

me?”

“I tried my best to make myself stronger first when I still didn’t have the power to give you enough sense of security.” Jason was silent for a moment. Then, he added, “I thought you would choose the opportunity to further your studies abroad. But I didn’t expect that you chose to get married…”

Initially, Jason wanted to stay in Atharia and waited for Anastasia. However, he had waited for her for four years.

He still did not manage to meet Anastasia..

The only thing that he received was the news that Anastasia was already married.

When Kimberly mentioned that her best friend had married a rich and handsome man, his heart hurt so much. Nevertheless, he did not have the power to change it and he was afraid that he would disturb Anastasia.

Therefore, in those four years, he chose to disappear completely from Anastasia’s world.

It was right until the time that Anastasia suddenly appeared in Atharia and they met each other by chance in the elevator.

In fact, when he entered the elevator and saw Anastasia walking straight into his arms, Jason thought he had been drinking too much the previous night.

He thought it was a dream.

Meanwhile, Anastasia did not recognize him because he had changed a lot over the past six years.

Nonetheless, he could always recognize Anastasia at a glance, no matter what she had turned into.

This was probably the difference between someone who loved another and someone who did not.

“I bought you a vegetable beef casserole, pasta, and pumpkin chowder, Annie.” Kimberly came back and saw that Jason was around as well. “If I had known you would come, I’d have bought you a rib to boost your health.”

“Kimberly will take care of you, Annie. I’ll go there and pack your things up and move them out.” Jason stood up and wanted to leave.

“Jason…” Anastasia stopped him. “If Alastor is at home, don’t move my things first. Call me and wait for me to be discharged before moving them out.”
