Chapter 27
Kimberly looked at Jason in shock. She thought, “He has never been a nosy person, but why did he suddenly mention Felicia? Did he know about the affairs between Felicia and Alastor? However, he shouldn’t be so blunt about it. It will make Anastasia sad.”
“Anastasia…” Kimberly wanted to change the topic by saying something else, but then she changed her mind and thought that it was time for Anastasia to give Alastor up. She continued, “Jason is right. In fact, I was shocked when I first met Felicia. in Atharia. When she stood at the side quietly, it seemed to be like you, but her personality was completely different from yours. I felt nauseous as soon as she started talking.”
Anastasia remained silent but kept smiling. Then, she poured a glass of wine again.
Jason frowned and took away Anastasia’s wine glass again.
Sofia and other friends noticed that something was off about him. She asked, “Handsome, do you know Annie?”
“Not really.” Jason looked calm, and his voice sounded like it as well.
“Give me back the wine. Anastasia felt shortness of breath but suppressed her emotions to ask Jason for wine.
“If you don’t love yourself, no one will.” Jason was still educating her.
Anastasia’s emotions collapsed in an instant. She stood up and snatched the wine glass from Jason’s hand before she drank it with her head lifted. “You’re too annoying. It’s none of your business even if I die on the road.”
Jason remained silent.
Sofia and the others glanced at each other and dared not to say anything.
They could sense that something was off about Anastasia.
“Anastasia… I have something to tell you, but I’m hesitant to say it.” A friend next to Sofia plucked up her courage and added, “I work for Wayscape International Corporation. Our company has always cooperated with your husband’s company, and the rumors said that the relationship between your husband and his secretary is slightly abnormal…”
It was clear that everyone in the industry knew about their affairs.
“What happened?” Sofia asked as she frowned.
“Not long ago, I saw that Mr. Lopez, Anastasia’s husband, picked his secretary up at the entrance of our company’s building. Logically speaking, he doesn’t need to handle the cooperation personally as a boss. However, he picked up that secretary downstairs and even prepared milk and breakfast for her.”
Her friend added cautiously, “Annie, I didn’t mean to say it now. I was scared to tell you the truth since you have been married for four years. Although there is no wedding, it has always been quite enviable.”
Anastasia threw the wine glass on the table and asked with a smile, “When did that happen?”
She was holding back herself, but her eyes had welled up with tears.
“Well, I think it was around the second half of last year.”
Anastasia lowered her head and laughed.
