Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149

Anastasia looked at Alastor in shock.

She thought, “Was Sienna not taken away by Alastor?”

She never thought that Jason would be involved in this.

“Anastasia, listen to my advice. Even if you don’t want to be with me, you should not provoke Jason, that maniac. He can ignore the law at such a young age, take advantage of being a minor, and try to kill people. What else can’t he do? What can you learn from him?” Out of kindness, Alastor reminded Anastasia.

Anastasia remained silent, but her fingers felt a bit numb.

After a long silence, Anastasia looked at Alastor. “For that video on the Internet, do you insist I did it voluntarily?”

“I…” Alastor certainly didn’t hope Anastasia did it willingly, but even if the video was edited, it was true that she did not resist.

“Anastasia, you were young and still in the university back then. Your social experience was limited, and falling for a trick was understandable. Your father mentioned that your family was struggling financially. Relying on the project from Harold seemed like a lifeline for survival, and you were manipulated because you wanted to support your family.” Alastor did his utmost to find justifications and explanations, attempting to absolve Anastasia’s past indiscretions.

Anastasia chuckled and said, “You can’t even come up with a good lie, can you?”

Anastasia sighed and forced herself to calm down. “Alastor, don’t burden yourself too much.”

She wanted him to stop finding reasons and excuses for her.

“Alastor, you have a serious mysophobia. I appreciate your efforts in coming up with so many reasons and excuses for me, even though I don’t deserve them,” Anastasia smiled and spoke again, “We started with a blind date and got a blitz marriage. I’m sorry we couldn’t build a solid emotional foundation before hastily getting married.”

Alastor remained silent.

“I know you well. Even if I beg you not to get a divorce and start over, you’ll never forget about the matter.” Anastasia wanted to persuade Alastor to give up, divorce her, and have no further involvement with each other.

“I want to give it a try…” For Alastor, this also required a tremendous amount of courage.

He believed he had given all his favoritism to Anastasia.

Anastasia was his only exception.

He wanted to test whether his reluctance and unwillingness to let go of Anastasia were signs of love.
