Chapter 64
Anastasia did not realize how she reached home. When sitting on the couch, all she could feel was her
cold, numb limbs.
Snowball meowed and came over to nest on Anastasia’sp as if it was trying to help her warm up her
stiff body.
Gazing at Snowball in her embrace, Anastasia chuckled. “I still have you with me Snowball”
As she spoke. Anastasia got all choked up. “I only have you now”
She had lost everything. All she had left was Snowball to apany her.
Snowball was most likely the only emotional support that kept her going
After turning on the heater. Anastasia nestled by the ceiling-to-floor window and read her diary entry of
the past.
Whenever Anastasia was shaken up, forgetting the past temporarily would be her go-to choice.
That was her protection mechanism kicking off
N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
However, the diary re-awakened Anastasia’s memories and ignited her sorrow.
“Anastasia, what kind of house do you like?”
Jace had once asked Anastasia what type of house she adored.
“A stand-alone, quiet one with front and back yards. Also, it’s better if ites with ceiling-to-floor
windows, a wall-mounted stove, bloomed flowers in the courtyard, and a cat. Our home should consist
of you, me, and our kitty.”
Anastasia could barely remember what state of mind she was in when she wrote that sentence.
That was all six years ago.
Too many things were forgotten.
“Meow” Snowball had a sharper sense of hearing than Anastasia. It darted over the instant she heard
movements at the door.
As expected, stor came back.
Every time he came home, he was always tired
Seeing Snowball pounced at him, stor did not respond.
In the past, he would always pick Snowball up and gentlyfort its head, even if he had to pretend to
do it voluntarily.
At present, he even found putting on an act to beborious.
“Did you call the police to get Meredith arrested?” The first thing stor did upon stepping inside was
interrogate her.
Anastasia closed the diary, put it aside, and rubbed her eyebrows. “Are you nning to open a harem
now? You’re even sticking your nose into Sienna’s matter.”
stor approached Anastasia and eyed the diary Anastasia put aside. “Just because Sienna showed
me your diary and exposed the indecent acts between you and Xavier, you’re getting back at her and
Meredith?”
Anastasia took a deep breath, her gazended on the diary.
It turned out that stor had long read through her diary.
“No matter how wicked Meredith is to you, Anastasia, she raised you and cared for you for so many
years. You ought to be grateful to her.” A pucker creased stor’s forehead. His voice was as deep as
a bottomless pit.
Anastasia could only feel a wave of suffocation looming, her fingers as numb as ever.
“Grateful’ stor actually demands me to be grateful to that witch I’m already grateful enough not to
im their lives,” she mused
“What’s the matter? You suddenly realized you don’t know me at all? Indeed. I’m such a vindictive
person who’s also hypocritical and good at disguising myself. Not only that, but I’m even a promiscuous
wretch with a messed up private life. Isn’t that what you think of me?” Anastasia blurted out the words
stor had been bottling up inside.
Through stor’s eyes, Anastasia could already see thebels he had on her.
“To think that you’d install surveince cameras at home in advance and secretly record videos of
Meredith and others just to threaten her to divorce your dad and leave the marriage with nothing. You
even wanted to sabotage her and throw her behind bars. How could you be so vicious? To say that
stor was astonished would be an understatement. “Did you also install surveince cameras here in
our house to deal with me in the same fashion?”
If truth be told, he would never expect Anastasia to take such a drastic measure.
After all, that woman was her stepmother, Meredith, who had lived with her under one roof for ages.
“How could a person be so savage?” he muttered inwardly.
“I used to think you were a smart guy. stor At least you could tell right from wrong” Anastasia smiled
bitterly at that.
In fact, when one had already stereotyped another as a diabolical person, no matter what the other
party did, it would be regarded as atrocious nheless.
“I don’t own the police station, and I don’t dictate thew. If Meredith did nothing wrong, the police will
release her.” Anastasia curled up in a ball and tightened her shawl. “You came here today just to
question me for Sienna’s sake?”
Anastasia stared at stor. Apparently, Sienna hadined to him.
Even after four years of marriage. stor would rather believe an outsider than her.
Clearly, the trust between them had never been established.
There were things that would never take shape on their own all of a sudden. Rather, their formations
were umted over
time.
stor’s attitude on that day proved that he had never truly trusted the woman for the past four years,
not even for a single day.
Sure enough, he had always been on his guard against her.
“The home you wished for-a stand-alone mansion, preferably without neighbors, with flowers blooming
in the front and back yards, and those ceiling-to-floor windows you so desired. Everything you ever
wanted.” stor picked up the diary on the floor and flipped through the pages. I was the one who
granted you those, Anastasia.”
Anastasia shrank her legs and smiled. “I’ll return them all to you.”
In the past, she thought that the home she cared about was the house she lived in. It turned out that
she was wrong.
“Ha… You must be disappointed, right?” stor put the diary aside. I’m the one who stays with you in
this house, not your darling Jace.”
“Are you jealous, stor?” asked Anastasia with a grin.
Actually, she deliberately turned stor’s stomach by saying that.
In her mind, she knew very well that it was impossible for a man like him who had never spared a
thought for her to be jealous.
