âWhat are you filming? Delete it!â Steven rushed over, wanting to grab Jasonâs phone.
Jason dodged, causing Steven to bump into the door.
Anastasia laughed in exasperation at Steven and thought, âHeâs so stupid, yet he still shamelessly makes a fool of himself here.â
âAnastasia, I advise you to think about this carefully.â Naomi got up and looked at Anastasia coldly.
Now that Anastasia had lost her child, Naomi already had no scruples at all.
âMrs. Lopez.â Anastasia suddenly addressed Naomi as âMrs. Lopez,â then said with a smile, âAlastor didnât tell you, did he? Mr. Lopez is back. Alastor is in the company.â
Anastasia sneered and thought, âYou already have much to worry about in your own family. Yet you still want to come to mess with me.â
âDuring this period, Mr. Lopez suddenly came back and went to the company. Guess why he came back? Is it because he misses you and Alastor? Obviously not⦠I heard that he and Ms. Quallsâ son graduated from university with excellent academic performance in management, not necessarily worse than Alastor.â
Anastasia had only heard of Alastorâs half-brother, but she hadnât seen him before. Anastasia only knew that the boy was about Jasonâs age.
Anastasiaâs words were to provoke Naomi, regardless of whether Christian came back to fight over the company or not.
It was Naomi who didnât let Anastasia be happy at first.
As expected, Naomiâs face turned extremely pale. Anastasia suddenly froze in the same spot and looked at Anastasia. âWho?â
Anastasia smiled and repeated, âMr. Lopez.â
âIf you dare to lie to me, I wonât spare you!â Naomi said with her fingers trembling, and her eyes turned red visibly. Then she turned around and walked out.
Anastasia sighed and thought, âI used to have pity on Naomi and thought it was difficult for her. Her husband didnât love her, so she became a grass widow at a young age. Now it seems that thereâs always something detestable about someone pitiable. She has been through something bad before, so she wants to make me suffer as well. Her mentality was already distorted. Why should women make things difficult for other women?
âI made some sauteed mushrooms and chowder soup. The doctor said you must eat something light,â
Jason whispered, then naturally took out the lunch box for Anastasia and placed it on the table.
âYou went home to cook chowder?â Anastasia looked at the chowder on the small table. He obviously had been attentive and spent a long time cooking the chowder.
âYesâ¦â Jason nodded.
âHave you eaten?â Anastasia asked again.
âI⦠I have.â Jason lied.
He didnât have time to eat. When the food was ready, he came over in a hurry for fear that Anastasia would be hurt again if he didnât look after her for a while.
âI canât eat so much. Letâs eat together.â Anastasia could tell that Jason was lying. Anastasia looked around and found no extra cutleries.
âYou can eat it. Iâll eat the leftovers,â Jason said casually.
Anastasia was stunned for a moment, and her fingers holding the spoon froze for a long time.
After marrying Alastor, because he had mysophobia, she cooked and prepared all the meals for him separately. Besides, after she finished cooking, she would wait for Alastor to come home before eating, no matter how late it was.
If Alastor didnât tell her when he would be home, she would have to keep waiting until he came back before she could start eating.
It was because Alastor never ate anyoneâs leftovers.
Anastasia took a sip of the chowder and looked at Jason in surprise. âThatâs pretty good. Your cooking is not bad.â
The chowder was cooked just right, almost melting in the mouth.
It could be seen that Jason was really attentive.
âDid you ask for leave today as well? Is it okay if you donât go to work?â Anastasia had a bite of sauteed mushrooms, which were really delicious.
Jason looked away, and his ears turned red because of the compliment. Hearing Anastasia ask him, he replied in a hoarse voice, âMm. Itâs okay. It wonât make much of a difference to taking a few days off. I have taken a long vacation these days to take care of you first.â
âHowâs your business venture going?â Anastasia looked at Jason.
âDonât worry,â Jason whispered.
âOh.â Anastasia didnât ask much. Anastasia knew Jason had his own dignity, so he probably didnât want her to know too much or let her intervene in it.
âI heard that Felicia is in the next ward?â Anastasia asked.
Because they were both in orthopedics, Feliciaâs ward was next to her.
They were both in VIP single rooms. It should be Naomi who deliberately transferred Felicia here to annoy Anastasia.
