Chapter 49


    Anastasia looked at stor in shock and clenched her fingers tightly.


    Anastasia was astonished to hear the nameing from stor.


    “Jace… This shows that stor has investigated me for the purpose of divorcing me,” she thought to


    herself.


    “Women shouldn’t be too headstrong, Anastasia” stor picked up the ss, put it aside, and


    continued to say, “That is the time for us to be honest and upfront with each other. I don’t want you to


    come looking for me, pleading for helpter.”

    stor said indifferently and thought, “That is my reminder to you-take up the good opportunity and


    consider it an exchange of resources. Don’t wait until you are at your wit’s end and have lost the


    chance before youe begging for me for help. Anastasia.”


    “For Felicia’s sake, you can really be that unscrupulous, Anastasia said ironically with a smirk on her


    face. Then, she said, “I’m curious. How does it feel to have a blitz marriage with a woman that you


    haven’t loved for four years? And to think of your first love every day. Isn’t that agonizing, stor?”


    Anastasia felt the burning sensation in her throat and the aching pain in her chest.


    “What about you?” stor stood by the bed, his tall figure oozing an air of unspeakable gloom and cool


    indifference. He checked WhatsApp messages on his phone, looked up at Anastasia, and said again,


    “We’ve been married for four years. Do you know how often you’ve called out Jace’s name in the


    middle of the night?”


    Anastasia’s heart tightened, and she took a deep breath.


    “And just then, didn’t you call out his name too?” stor turned around and prepared a fresh batch of


    oral suspension syrup for Anastasia again. “I’ve asked the doctor. That kind of herbal medicine won’t


    interfere, so, drink up,” he said reassuringly.


    There was buzzing in Anastasia’s ears, and her chest was heaving up and down as her breathing


    became rapid. “Don’t you dare use that dirty mind of yours to make assumptions about others


    rtionships!”


    “The rtionship between Jace and I is totally different from that of stor and Felicia. Coming from


    stor, he seems to have tarnished what Jace and I have. If it weren’t for Jace, I would have died six


    years ago,” Anastasia thought.


    “Think about it carefully, Anastasia. All you have to do is rmend Felicia to Mr. Lexington, I can


    arrange an expert consultation for you.” stor negotiated and guessed that Anastasia would agree to


    his terms.


    “Grandma Penelope is sick and has been hospitalized. You knew of it earlier than I did. You just


    couldn’t wait to use that to threaten me, stor?” Anastasia sneered and concluded in her heart, “This


    is stor.”


    In fact, she had known stor’s personality and character for a long time. He had always practiced that


    in his corporate business dealings. He would not reveal his true intentions until he knew with absolute


    certainty that he had the upper hand.


    It was the same at that moment. He came prepared.


    “It’s not a threat. I have given you a home and everything that you wanted. You should be content,


    Anastasia.” stor frowned and pondered, “I don’t think she and I have yet to reach that point where


    threats are called for, nor have the intention to go to that extent.”


    Anastasia could only feel the pain in her chest, suffocating and choking her. She retaliated, “You have


    given me everything I wanted? Then, you should have told me from the beginning that you don’t love


    me and that you still have your first crush in mind. You should have let me prepare myself to leave at


    any point in time!”


    “Instead of lying like that and giving me the fatal blow,” she continued silently.


    “That was my fault, but it’s just that one matter. Besides, I have been tolerant of you enough.” stor


    raised his hand to feel Anastasia’s forehead.


    Anastasia pped thetter’s hand away and sneered, “Stop your pretense.”


    “Take the medicine and think it over,” stor instructed Anastasia and turned to leave.


    “It’ste. You have purposelye back to beg me, just for Felicia’s sake? Anastasia raised her head


    with bloodshot eyes and stubbornly resisted the urge to cry.


    “The only thing I have not seeded in attaining is stor’s love for me. I am just not loved by him. I’m


    about to die and have yet to experience what it feels like to be loved. It’s such a pity that I’ll die with


    regrets,” she thought.


    stor didn’t exin. When he reached the door, he turned and simply said, “I guess you don’t want to


    see me.”


    “It’s true. I don’t wish to see you,” Anastasia said as she lowered her head.


    “What a good excuse,” she thought.


    “Try having gastric pain, Anastasia.” Suddenly, storined of his pain while he stood at the


    door.


    He sounded exhausted, more than usual.


    Anastasia didn’t look at him. She held back for a long time to prevent tears from gushing out of her


    eyes.


    Anastasia got off the bed and went into the kitchen without saying anything. She prepared a te of


    pesto pasta for him. After this, when he had gastric pain after drinking, he would probably not have


    pesto pasta to eat anymore.


    That night, stor didn’t leave but slept in a separate room from Anastasia.


    The morning after, stor woke up and found that breakfast was ready on the table as usual.


    Anastasia had already left. “Please help me choose the tie color, Anastasia. stor stood by the side


    of the table and was silent for a long time. Habits could be terribly annoying.
