In the car, Jason was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He was afraid that Anastasia would still choose Alastor even after what happened.
âLetâs go Take me to the hotel first Anastasia took a deep breath and sat in the passenger seat, holding Snowball as she looked out the window.
To her, there was nothing to miss about the house besides Snowball and her paintings.
She didnât want anything else.
Felicia just sat in Alastorâs car and looked at Anastasia as if provoking her.
Bang! Just when Jason was about to drive away, his car was scratched by Stevenâs car on purpose.
Jason frowned and clenched his fingers.
He had tried his best to control himself since Anastasia was here, so Jason dared not do anything that would make him seem childish in front of her.
Six years ago, he lost Anastasia because of his impulse, and Anastasia would distance herself even further if he didnât change and grow up after six years.
âDonât get out of the carâ¦â Anastasia said in a hoarse voice, raising her hand to grab Jasonâs arm.
She knew that Jason had been very patient tonight.
Based on Anastasiaâs understanding of Jace, if he saw anyone bullying her six years ago, he would murder them on the spot. Sure enough, he had grown up in six years.
Jason took a deep breath. âAnastasia, you donât have to take the test if you donât want to.â
âI can take it,â Anastasia whispered âWhat can we do even if we donât take it? Keep fighting with him?
Heâll have the evidence. Donât forget⦠You have a criminal record.â
Jason had been to a juvenile detention center before.
Anastasia clearly knew that Felicia deliberately asked Steven to anger Jason, wanting Jason to lose control and hurt someone. Steven wouldnât even stand a chance against Jason if a fight really broke out, even if there were ten Stevens present.
âOh? This car is not cheap. Where did you rent it from? Or did you borrow it? You need to pay quite an amount since thereâs a scratch on it now. Do you even have the money? Steven rolled down the window and looked at Jason ironically, âYouâre just a gigolo selling yourself at the bar. Can you even pay for the car?â
Jason held the steering wheel tightly, and his knuckles even turned white.
âSo what if he doesnât have the money? I do. Iâm using Alastorâs money to keep a man outside, and Alastor will be paying for the car anyway.â Anastasia rolled down the car window and smiled at Steven.
âYou can hit the car again. Actually, itâs best if you scrap it. Iâm sure your brother can pay a few hundred thousand dollars.â
âAnastasia! How shameless can you be?â Stevenâs face darkened with anger, and he looked at Anastasia angrily.
Anastasia just smiled. âI like how you hate me but canât even do anything to me.â
âLetâs see how long your arrogance lasts! I wonât let you off if the DNA paternity test result comes out and the child is not Alastorâs Pointing at Anastasia, Steven cursed out before he drove away.
Afterward, Anastasia rolled up the window and noticed her palm was injured because she was clenching too hard.
Her body was numb, but she forced herself to look unbothered.
âWho did you borrow the car from?â Anastasia asked in a hoarse voice.
Jason was silent and drove away slowly.
âDonât worry. Although Alastor stopped my card, I still have some money saved up these years, Anastasia reassured Jason. Her paintings were now worthless, and her future financial resources would be problematic, but she would still be responsible for Jasonâs car damage.
âYou can leave after you send me to Waterhall Hotel, and donât be involved in my business from now on, or youâll get into trouble, Anastasia said calmly, wanting to keep Jason away from her.
âTodayâs Christmas Eveâ¦â Jason glanced at Anastasia and continued, âI think all the hotels are fully booked Anastasia just looked at the time and smiled. âNo wayâ¦â
After saying that, Anastasia called the customer service staff of Waterhall Hotel, Sure enough, the staff did say that the rooms were fully booked.
Anastasia then looked at her phone blankly and called another hotel, but she got the same response even after she said she would pay more.
Anastasia massaged her eyebrows. She wondered, âWill I have to be sleeping on the streets tonight?â
âCome over to mine.â Jasonâs voice was hoarse.
Seeing Anastasia hesitate, Jason spoke again. âI rented a house, so if you donât mindâ¦â
After that, Anastasia glanced at Jason. âIâll go. Itâs just for a night.â
Jason breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled. âWell⦠My hometown is in the north, so I usually make ravioli during Christmas. Iâve prepared all the ingredients. Do you⦠want to help me with the ravioli?â
Anastasia looked at Jason for a long time before she replied, âYou knew Iâd be homeless today and would follow you home?â
âNoâ¦â Jasonâs palm sweated. âI actually wanted to make some ravioli and bring it to you, but⦠I was afraid something would happen to you based on the trending news online.â
Anastasia smiled, glad that at least someone still thought about her.
âJason, how long will you remember me if I die?â Anastasia asked in a low voice.
âIâll go with you.â Jasonâs voice was hoarse. âIâll accompany you wherever you go.
Anastasia was stunned for a moment and frowned, looking at Jason angrily. âDonât be so childish.â
Their relationship had not reached the point where she would want him to die with her.
âThen you should live well and not ask such childish questions again!â Jason stepped on the brake and looked at Anastasia angrily as well.
Anastasia felt her throat burning as she thought. Tm just telling the truth⦠I wonât be able to live long.
