Chapter 180: Chapter 180

“He’s not my younger brother. We’re not related by blood,” Anastasia said meaningfully as she looked at Kimberly.

Kimberly was stunned for a moment. Kimberly felt her chest tighten, so she took a deep breath.

Anastasia smiled and added, “But we’re also not a couple like it’s rumored online.”

Kimberly was Anastasia’s best friend and the person the latter trusted most. Thus, Anastasia did not want Kimberly to misunderstand, thinking she might let Kimberly have Jason.

After all, when Anastasia tried to introduce Kimberly to Jason that day, his eyes were full of disappointment and hurt.

At that moment, Anastasia knew that everyone was an independent being. Anastasia did not have to like Jason or have any relationship with him, but she could not pretend to be a saint and pass him on to anyone.

Those who claimed that they did what they did for another’s benefit only reflected their selfishness.

It was the same with Anastasia’s mother. When she was about to die of illness, she feared that Anastasia would not survive alone in the world. Thus, her mother wanted to take Anastasia with her, claiming it was for Anastasia’s sake.

At that time, Anastasia was very scared. Anastasia also thought of asking her mother if she ever considered how Anastasia felt or thought whenever her mother said it was for her good.

Therefore, anything could happen, and no one should interfere with it.

“You two… could still be a couple?” Kimberly was a little uncomfortable and asked half-jokingly, “Didn’t you say that even if you divorced Alastor, you wouldn’t choose a younger man? Didn’t you say you don’t like younger men?”

Perhaps Kimberly wanted Anastasia to make a clear statement so Jason could give up.

Meanwhile, Jason’s eyes were on Anastasia the whole time. His heart was racing.

That meal involving them three seemed like it was a setup for confessions.

“I can’t guarantee what will happen in the future…” Anastasia looked at Jason and said seriously, “Anything is possible.”

Jason looked at Anastasia with blazing eyes.

“She’s giving me a possibility,” thought Jason.

Even though it was just a possibility, it was more than enough for Jason.

“Who knows? We might already be dead,” Anastasia said jokingly.

“What are you saying?”

Kimberly and Jason spoke almost at the same time, scolding Anastasia.

Anastasia smiled and changed the topic, but her eyes were warm as she said, “Jason, let me introduce you…”

Anastasia’s voice could not help but turn raspy, so she took a deep breath and tried to suppress her emotions. “This is Kimberly, my university classmate and best friend.”

“We were in the same university and stayed in the same rental condominium for two to three years.”

Kimberly smiled and continued, “I don’t know him well, but I definitely see him daily.”

Jason was a combined bachelor’s and master’s student, and Kimberly was a graduate student. They were both in the same school and lived in the same Clusian condominium, not to mention they lived right across each other.

“Both of you are my most important people, so… I hope no matter what happens in the future, we will stay this way. Together.” With burning eyes, Anastasia looked at the two people sitting across from her Anastasia had no family or husband anymore.

Kimberly was Anastasia’s only friend.

In the past, Anastasia had also regarded Xavier as her best friend.

However, reality slapped Anastasia hard in the face.

“You’re being too serious. Do you think you’re running a memorial service?” Kimberly slapped the table and asked for three bottles of beer. “Have a drink.”

Anastasia nodded. “Okay.”

“You can’t drink,” Jason whispered.

“Drink a little. You’re not pregnant anymore.” Kimberly did not know that Anastasia had kept the baby.

After a long silence, Anastasia finally spoke. “Never mind. Let’s drink another day.”

“Anastasia, are you hiding something from me?” Jason could always capture the slight change in Anastasia’s emotions.

“Eat up, eat up.” Anastasia took the chicken wing with the spicy sriracha sauce.

However, Jason replaced that piece of chicken wing from Anastasia with the honey-flavored one to give to Anastasia.

Anastasia’s hand with the fork froze, and she subconsciously looked at Kimberly.

However, Kimberly seemed to be busy eating and did not look up at all.

When Jason went to the restroom, Kimberly asked, “Anastasia, you don’t like Jason, right? Just let me have him if you don’t.”
