Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 146

“Anastasia!” Alastor suppressed his anger, thinking, “Is it so difficult for her to leave him by himself tonight? We haven’t gotten a divorce yet.”

“Alastor,” Andrea called out in a deep voice.

“Grandma…” Alastor expressed his unhappiness. “We haven’t finalized the divorce yet.”

Alastor felt that Anastasia had crossed a boundary, considering they had not finalized their divorce yet, even though Andrea was aware of their intention to get divorced.

“Although I’m old, I still keep up with my phone and watch the news,” Andrea patted the table. “Didn’t you announce that you and Annie are divorced? I remember there was a divorce agreement as well.”

Alastor paused for a moment and lowered his head while remaining silent.

Previously, in the heat of the moment, he acted impulsively. Moreover, the incident regarding the video had escalated significantly, causing severe damage to the company’s reputation. This then led to the Public Relations Department releasing the statement without his consent. Consequently, he immediately dismissed those involved, and as a follow up measure, the department promptly deleted the relevant posts on Twitter and statements made.

“Send Annie home,” Andrea instructed Alastor to drive Anastasia to her destination.

“That won’t be necessary, Grandma Andrea. I can take a taxi,” said Anastasia while shaking her head.

She didn’t want to have anything to do with Alastor.

In her heart, she cherished divorce.

hope that Grandma could engage with Alastor and assist them in achieving a peaceful NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Society had seen divorce as a revealing factor of one’s character.

Furthermore, she knew that only a few people could maintain happiness and friendliness with each other after divorce.

Before this, Anastasia had done her utmost to avoid getting a divorce.

She even once considered binding Alastor through the will and property, believing that even though he no longer loved her, she still wanted to remain a family.

However, she later realized that such a thought was severely misguided.

Acknowledging her fault, she chose to disregard what Alastor had done, focusing on parting ways amicably in the near

future.

“I’ll give you a ride.” Alastor insisted on driving her home.

Anastasia did not refuse. She didn’t want to make a scene in front of Andrea.

“Sit in the front,” Alastor warned Anastasia before she got into the car, indicating that she should sit in front.

After the incident with Felicia, where she made a scene in his car, Anastasia never sat in the passenger seat again.

“I’m sorry, but the passenger seat is reser.

for your future lover,” Anastasia said, shaking her head and refusing to comply.

“Anastasia, can you please stop trying to argue with me?” Alastor clenched his fists. “I didn’t even complain when I saw you riding Jason’s scooter!”

At that point, Anastasia felt suffocated.

“So?”

“Felicia said it was inconvenient for her to commute to work, so I asked my assistant to pick her up before work and drop her off after work. However, the car wasn’t driven by me. I had no idea she would deliberately leave her marks in the car.” Alastor had tried to explain calmly to Anastasia, but they ended up fighting, as always.

“Deliberately… You knew it was deliberate.” Anastasia chuckled.

“It turns out that Alastor was well aware that Felicia did it on purpose,” Anastasia thought.

Previously, Anastasia held the notion that men turned into mindless creatures in the company of women they truly admired. However, she now understood that this was not the case.

Men were perfectly lucid and maintained their awareness constantly. Their actions were simply influenced by their affections and preferences.

You were well aware that she acted deliberately, yet you continue to retain her presence, permitting her to remain by your side, repeatedly showing tolerance and favoritism, and accepting all her pretenses and actions.” Anastasia genuinely experienced heartache…

She finally comprehended that childhood friends would always hold more significance than those encountered later in life.

“I’ve told you, it’s just because she is pregnant,” Alastor said, uncertain about how to earn Anastasia’s forgiveness. “I mistook her for you, and we were only intimate once. I had no idea she would become pregnant. How can you judge me so harshly based on this one incident? Even though I’ve made a mistake, you have as well! I’m not the sole one at fault in this marriage. Since we both have erred, why can’t you move on from my mistake?”

In Alastor’s perception, Anastasia had also engaged in extramarital affairs and been intimate with other men

So he could not comprehend why Anastasia couldn’t simply act as if nothing had happened, especially since he did not want a divorce. He just desired for them to return to how they were before.

“So what if she’s pregnant? Is she pregnant with my baby?” Anastasia laughed out of exasperation. “Please stop insisting that you mistook her for me, can you? It’s repulsive.”

Anastasia slammed the car door shut and turned around, striding away. “You are right. It’s not just you who has erred within this marriage. You’ve made a transgression of principle while I’ve been guilty of blindness and naiveté. Don’t compel me to detest you, Alastor.
