Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Anastasia felt absurd as she retorted inwardly, “Are you forbidding others from doing what you yourself are doing?” Then, she replied. “What did you say? I can’t hear you.”

The music in the bar was loud, and even though she was in a quiet area, she could not hear Alastor clearly.

“She is drunk. I’ll bring her back with me if you don’t plan to pick her up.” Jason reached out and took Anastasia’s phone.

Alastor hung up the phone directly.

“He may think you’re threatening him.” Jason leaned against the smoking area and lit a cigarette.

Anastasia also leaned against the wall and reached out for a cigarette.

“Are you crazy?” Jason frowned and put off the lit cigarette.

His movement of lighting the cigarette was out of habit. He had forgotten that Anastasia was right beside him.

“What did he say?” Anastasia asked with her head down.

“Nothing.” Jason was telling the truth.

Anastasia fell into silence. Then, she stood up straight and walked out dizzily.

“Where are you going?” Jason trailed after Anastasia.

“Didn’t you say you’d stay with me tonight? Let’s go to the hotel.” Anastasia seemed to be joking, yet she seemed serious about it.

“Are you trying to burst out all of your rebellious habits that you have yet to show from your teenage years?” Jason was amused.

“It sounds like you know me very well. How do you know that I was not rebellious during my puberty?” Anastasia laughed ironically.

She had chosen to be an obedient girl at the time of everyone’s rebellious puberty.

She was so obedient that anyone could bully her.

The most rebellious thing that had happened in her life was her leaving her so–called biological family and choosing to have a blitz marriage with Alastor.

“Let me take you to a place.” Jason pulled Anastasia over and took her through the bar kitchen. They entered the private elevator and went upstairs.

That was not a tall building, and it had an open–air garden on the roof. There were many green plants and beautiful flowers in bloom.

Hidden within the high–rise buildings of Hork, the scene looked like a land of paradise.

“If he comes, you can see him from here.” Jason pointed downstairs.

Anastasia was slightly looking forward to it as she asked, “Do you think he will come?”

“Why did you get married at an early age?” Jason asked.
