Kimberly and Anastasia had known each other for many years. Thus, Anastasia knew Kimberly very well.
Kimberly would not have said anything unless it was something she really wanted.
Kimberly had only asked Anastasia for favors two times; this was the second time.
The first time, Kimberly asked Anastasia for the opportunity to go abroad to further her studies. Later, Anastasia personally went to see Charles and gave the spot to Kimberly.
Then, this was the second time.
âKimberly, I thought I made myself clear earlier.â Anastasia sighed and continued, âJason is an independent individual. I canât let you have him just because I want to. Besides, if you are really destined to be with him, I will give my blessing to you two in the future when youâre together. However, asking me to let you have him⦠Jason is not mine.â
Kimberly held her head and looked at Anastasia. âI really like him. Can you help me?â
âHow can I help you?â Anastasia patted Kimberlyâs head. âHow can I help with love?â
âI helped you win Alastor over back then too.â Kimberly snorted.
When Anastasia and Alastor were married in a blitz, they had no feelings for each other. Thus, it took a lot of effort for Anastasia to make Alastor fall in love with her, and Kimberly had been helping Anastasia come up with ideas.
âThatâs different.â Anastasia shook her head.
âSimply put, youâre being greedy.â Kimberly criticized Anastasia jokingly.
âYou canât let go of Alastor, yet you wonât let me have Jason.â
Anastasia was stunned and looked at Kimberly!
Even if Kimberly was joking, Anastasia still felt hurt.
âKimberly, we are like sisters. Weâre each otherâs best friends. Iâve basically agreed to your every request, except for Jason. Not this. Jason is very special to me. Even if we are not in a relationship, I wonât help you pursue him.â Anastasia shook her head.
After all, it was not that Kimberly did not know that Jason was interested in Anastasia. Thus, asking Anastasia to set her and Jason up was just too much.
âDonât make it difficult for me. You can do it yourself if you want to pursue him. Itâs all up to you,â
Anastasia whispered.
Kimberly took a sip of beer and said, âBut he only has eyes for you. Itâs one thing if you donât divorce.
Kimberly will definitely not say yes to me once youâre divorced.â
âAlastor and I⦠Weâre going to get a divorce tomorrow.â Anastasia did not hide it from Kimberly.
Kimberlyâs finger holding the wine glass stiffened. âDivorce so soon? Alastor agreed? Heâs notâ¦
backing out again?â
Anastasia glanced at Kimberly and replied, âHe agreed today.â
âOhâ¦â Kimberly nodded. âYou can give Alastor to me then. Considering our relationship, itâs not much to ask for a man, is it?â
âPfft!â Amused by Kimberlyâs words, Anastasia chuckled and said, âCan you be more loyal?â
Kimberly raised her eyebrows and replied, âIâm joking. Look at your face. Honestly, I think all the men in the world are the same. You might not meet another good guy after you divorce Alastor. Thus, why donât you consider it again? At least Alastor is rich.â
Anastasia did not speak.
âHere you go.â After going out for a while, Jason returned and brought Anastasia a cup of freshly squeezed juice.
Perhaps Jason did not want Anastasia to drink beer.
âWhereâs mine?â Kimberly groaned and asked, âWeâve been classmates for so many years, after all.
How can you be so biased?â
Jason looked at Kimberlyâs wine glass with confusion. âArenât you drinking?â
Kimberly was speechless and rolled her eyes. âJason, you will be single all your life this way.â
Still, Jason merely smiled.
âCome on, let us two drink. Donât you think about running, too, Kimberly said. Kimberly was obviously forcing Jason to drink.
Fortunately, Jason was better at drinking than Kimberly.
At that moment, Kimberly was already drunk.
âWeâre only eating fondue, and you still managed to get drunk.â Anastasia smiled helplessly.
âUrgh. I donât feel well.â With that, Kimberly ran to the roadside and vomited.
Anastasia could not handle Kimberly herself, so she could only ask Jason for help. âTake her back?â
Jason glanced at Anastasia, his gaze still hot.
Anastasia moved her gaze subconsciously, feeling inexplicably guilty.
Anastasia did not mean to set Kimberly up with Jason.
âLetâs go together. I donât know where she lives.â Jason asked Anastasia to accompany him to bring Kimberly back.
âItâs so late already. Anastasia must go home. Her husband has already come to pick her up.â Kimberly was very drunk and dragged Jason toward the roadside as she continued, âLet them talk and solve their misunderstanding. Donât be a third wheel here.â
Anastasia was stunned. Anastasia then turned around and saw Alastorâs car parked in the parking space.
âAnnie.â Alastor got out of the car. With a hoarse and calm voice, he said, âLetâs go home.â
