Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1821

It was a sunny day, but Anastasia paced around and kneaded her hands anxiously with a heavy heart.

Although she trusted Lily, it was almost noon, and she had not arrived yet. Anastasia had no idea what was happening because Lily had not answered her phone. Anastasia wondered if her father could wake up.

At this juncture, someone knocked on the door. Anastasia was so nervous that she nearly jumped and asked reflexively. “Who is it?”

“Miss Rollins?” I was the voice of a servant.

Anastasia heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at her father, who was still unconscious on the bed. Then she turned around, opened the door, and looked at the servant. “What’s the matter?”

The servant hesitated before asking, “Miss Rollins, the phone downstairs has been ringing nonstop since we plugged it in. Would you like to answer it?”

They would unplug the landline phone every day between 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., and only those closest to them could reach Anastasia’s mobile phone. That was because Anastasia was exhausted from dealing with requests to see her father.

She pursed her lips. “Don’t bother about it!”

‘It’s better to let it ring. Even if I don’t answer the call, I know the caller is trying to gather information. For days I kept telling people that dad had been sick, but in the past, he would still answer the phone and do his work when he was ill. It’ll come off as too unusual for others.’

She knew about it but could do nothing. She could not pretend to be her father to do his work.

Surprised, Anastasia rushed to the door and opened it, asking, “Lily is here?”

The servant reflexively took a step back. “No, no, it’s Mr. Russell. He came alone.”

“Just him?” Anastasia was dumbfounded.

However, she knew it was better than no one coming and asked the servant to let Alexander in. She quickly tidied up the room before going downstairs.

When Anastasia saw that Alexander was indeed alone, she was disappointed despite herself. “H-Hi, Alex.”
