Chapter 66
After leaving the hospital following her pregnancy check-up, Anastasia walked alone in the cold wind
on her way home.
Anastasia looked up at the densely overcast sky, her thoughts wandering.
“Do I forsake this child or my own life?”
It was a difficult decision to make.
Anastasia spotted stor’s car at the entrance of the mansion from a dista
He didn’t enter the house and leaned against the car door, smoking, probably waiting for her.
“Why are you here?” Anastasia was a little surprised.
After they signed the divorce agreement, stor never went back, except for their weekly Friday meet-
ups to dine with his grandmother.
It wasn’t Friday, yet stor had returned.
stor nced at Anastasia.
Perhaps because of the cold weather, she was bundled up, her face appearing even smaller and paler
against theyers, almost as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
stor’s heart tightened inexplicably, and he extinguished the cigarette butt. “Stay back, there’s
smoke.
Anastasia smiled and positioned herself at a distance, pondering, “This man seemed perfect in so
many ways, except for the part where he doesn’t love me”
“Mr. Zahn from Prosper Group is currently in Hork for business discussions. Mrs. Zahn is very fond of
you. They acquired a majority of your paintings during the previous charity art exhibition. They’re
interested in meeting you,” stor briefly exined.
Anastasia understood.
Interaction within the wives’ circle was also amon approach to fostering business coboration.
That was also the reason why stor hadn’t made the divorce agreement public yet.
At social events like those, he still needed to have Anastasia apany him.
‘Sure, I’ll go get changed and freshen up first,” Anastasia agreed without hesitation. After all, she hadn’t
reached the stage of harboring any resentment toward him.
It was simply a matter of not being loved.
stor gave a nod of acknowledgment, maintaining his position against the car door.
“It’s quite cold outside. Aren’t youing inside?” Anastasia asked as she reached the doorway.
“No.” stor declined.
Anastasia’s fingers stiffened for a moment. Without looking back, she opened the door and entered the
house.
A hint of warmth filled her eyes. Anastasia readied cat food for Snowball before soaking dried fish in
special milk powder for the treats. Following that, she made her way to the restroom, quickly washing
her face, applying a mask, and embarking on a search for clothes.
Considering it was a business banquet, Anastasia had to dress a bit more formally, and her attire had
toplement stor’s suit.
Havingpared a few outfits, Anastasia gazed at her reflection in the mirror and suddenly felt
bewildered.
Over thest four years, she’d worked tirelessly to satisfy stor, aspiring to be an ideal spouse.
She embodied a people-pleasing nature, giving up her own needs to amodate others. Yet, what
she gained in the end was the present situation.
In a state of disappointment, Anastasia tore off the face mask, randomly chose an outfit, tidied herself
up hastily, applied some lipstick, and left.
The strong wind outside led Anastasia to tightly wrap her windbreaker around herself.
Walking up to the side of the passenger seat, Anastasia hesitated just as she was about to open the
car door.
Inside the car, stor looked at Anastasia without saying a word.
Sensing the situation, Anastasia tactfully opened the back door and got in.

Reserved for his little fairy, the passenger seat was for his first crush, a ce for his beloved
It wasn’t meant for her; the ex-wife who had already finalized the divorce agreement.
“I’ve changed cars.” Inside the car. stor furrowed his brows.
He hadn’t let Felicia touch that car even once.
“It’s a good car, very spacious. It’ll be more convenient for you two to make love in it,” Anastasia said
bluntly.
stor’s expression grew even darker, and he didn’t say another word to Anastasia throughout the
journey.
Anastasia was uncertain whether stor and Felicia had engaged in intimacy within the car. She also
wasn’t sure if it was due to her own psychological state or the effects of her pregnancy that she found
the air inside the car stifling, causing waves of nausea and the sensation that she might throw up.
Upon arriving at the hotel. Anastasia immediately rushed into the restroom after getting out of the car
and spent a long time hunched over the toilet bowl as she vomited.
After a brief pause, Anastasia collected herself, tidied her emotions, and walked out of the restroom.
“Why did youe? stor, did you bring Anastasia here? Who does she think she is toe with
you? I said I wanted to meet Mrs. Zahn, and you brought her along! What gives her the right?”
In the corner, Felicia’s voice quivered with a barrage of questions.
She was interrogating stor about his decision to bring Anastasia to the social event.
Anastasia hid herself near the restroom door, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“Stop making a scene’ stor was trying to appease Felicia. His tone sounded a bit impatient, yet he
could tolerate her unreasonable outbursts again and again.
“stor, are you having second thoughts? Are you not nning to divorce her anymore? Do you even
know that Zachary will also be present tonight? Anastasia was kept by Zachary during her junior year
for two whole years. Won’t their meeting be awkward now? What will they of you?” Felicia said angrily.
Anastasia leaned against the wall and her body tensed up instantly.
Zachary… it had been quite a few years since shest heard that name.
During her university days, there were indeed rumors associating her with Zachary, implying that she
was kept by the CEO of Quinn Group, with luxury cars picking her up daily
Anastasia never provided an exnation, as she simply spent three months crafting hand-painted
