Chapter 65
Alastor’s body tensed for a moment, and he frowned at Anastasia with a look of disgust in his eyes. “You’re overthinking.”
Anastasia grinned in silence.
“Grandma asked me to buy you some fruits and ribs. You can handle them yourself.” Alastor gestured toward the ingredients on the table by the entrance, then turned around to leave.
“Alastor, are you doing charity by raising someone else’s child?” Anastasia felt an unexpected surge of unwillingness and was unsure why Alastor was getting on her nerves.
Alastor turned around with a composed expression and looked at Anastasia. “So, can you tell me now whose child it is?”
Alastor had never believed that the child in Anastasia’s belly was his.
“Why don’t you believe the child is yours?” Anastasia asked, her voice choking with emotion.
“Anastasia, we’ve been married for four years. You should know how cautious Ive been in our intimate moments. Even if there were an occasion where we forgot, I would remind you to take the contraceptive pills. Given all this, what are the odds that this child is mine?” Alastor lowered his gaze to look at Anastasia, his tone carrying a sense of interrogation.
Anastasia took a deep breath
Having been married for four years. Alastor indeed wasn’t a person with strong desires in that aspect.
Due to past traumas, Anastasia also had reservations in that regard, so she had never suspected anything amiss with Alastor.
It turned out, he simply didn’t have any feelings for her.
“This child, is it Jason’s or Xavier Alastor inquired once more, directing his question at Anastasia.
With her head lowered. Anastasia’s voice sounded numb. “It’s yours,” she stated the truth.
But Alastor didn’t believe it at all “Anastasia. Im waiting for your DNA paternity test.”
Anastasia smiled numbly “Okay”
Alastor gazed deeply at Anastasia, his eyes holding a depth of emotions, struggling to find words to say.
As he reached the doorway, Alastor addressed her once more. “I was the one who approached Sienna for your journal and that sketchbook. It was also me who pressed Sienna to reveal your relationship with Xavier. There’s no need for you to hold. a grudge against Sienna. If you don’t want others to know, the best way is to avoid doing it in the first place.”
He wasn’t particularly concerned about how Anastasia would manage her family affairs.
A single warning would be enough
Snowball’s meow echoed with protest as it desperately clung to its male owner.
The sensitivities of small creatures are perpetually delicate, and it likely intuited that the family was about to fall apart. “We’ve agreed to get a divorce, and in the future there won’t be any need for you to come back.” Anastasia stated in a hoarse voice as she gazed at Alastor.
“Don’t come back, I still wish to continue living,” she reflected
The ongoing hurt caused by Alastor would eventually bring about her downfall.
