Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Anastasia said nothing. She sat on the rug with the kitten in her arms and focused on playing with it carefully.

“What should we name the kitten?” Jason asked.

“Maybe you should name the kitten since you’re the one who saved it.” Anastasia looked at Jason.

“Hmm… I found it on the seventh day after Christmas. Let’s name it Septimus, then. “Jason made some milk using the kitten formula and put an egg yolk in it for Septimus.

“Septimus,” Anastasia called the kitten’s name.

It dawned on her that humans could really find substitutes to relieve their feeling of missing their beloved after losing them.

At that moment, Anastasia seemed to understand why Alastor had treated her well when he had just married her.

It was as if she had a kitten. If the kitten ran away with another stray cat one day, she would be angry but still keep a new kitten to fill the vacancy around her.

In the beginning, she would also like the new kitten very much. However, when it came to making a choice, she would still subconsciously select a kitten that looked similar to the previous one.

If the lost kitten came back one day and looked like a mess after being bullied by the stray cat, she would most likely feel sorry for it and keep it beside her, slowly ignoring the new kitten she had kept later.

“I guessed that’s human nature,” she thought.

“Septimus, eat.” Anastasia let the kitten drink milk formula while sitting beside it, taking care of it patiently.

She thought it was unfair for her to treat Septimus as a substitute for Snowball.

Ring!

Anastasia’s phone dinged suddenly.

She picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was from the chamber of commerce, inviting her to their banquet as Alastor’s wife.

Anastasia was a little suspicious. Technically, the people from the chamber of commerce shouldn’t have sent her the invitation since Alastor had admitted he was divorced, and she had also posted a tweet publicly recognizing her relationship with Jason.

Anastasia forwarded the invitation to Alastor and asked: [It’s the chamber of commerce banquet. Could you arrange for it?]

Anastasia guessed Alastor would prefer to let Felicia attend the banquet.

Soon, Alastor replied to her WhatsApp message: [I’ll get the driver to pick you up tomorrow.]

Anastasia frowned and typed: [I’m not going.]

Alastor replied: [Jason’s popularity seems to have dropped.]

His words were full of threats.

Anastasia’s face darkened. She typed: [How the hell will you leave me alone?]
