Chapter 149


    Anastasia looked at stor in shock.


    She thought, “Was Sienna not taken away by stor?”


    She never thought that Jason would be involved in this.


    “Anastasia, listen to my advice. Even if you don’t want to be with me, you should not provoke Jason,


    that maniac. He can ignore thew at such a young age, take advantage of being a minor, and try to kill


    people. What else can’t he do? What can you learn from him?” Out of kindness, stor reminded


    Anastasia.


    Anastasia remained silent, but her fingers felt a bit numb.


    After a long silence, Anastasia looked at stor. “For that video on the Inte, do you insist I did it


    voluntarily?”


    “I…” stor certainly didn’t hope Anastasia did it willingly, but even if the video was edited, it was true


    that she did not resist.


    “Anastasia, you were young and still in the university back then. Your social experience was limited,


    and falling for a trick was understandable. Your father mentioned that your family was struggling


    financially. Relying on the project from Harold seemed like a lifeline for survival, and you were


    manipted because you wanted to support your family.” stor did his utmost to find justifications


    and exnations, attempting to absolve Anastasia’s past indiscretions.


    Anastasia chuckled and said, “You can’t evene up with a good lie, can you?”


    Anastasia sighed and forced herself to calm down. “stor, don’t burden yourself too much.”


    She wanted him to stop finding reasons and excuses for her.


    “stor, you have a serious mysophobia. I appreciate your efforts ining up with so many reasons


    and excuses for me, even though I don’t deserve them,” Anastasia smiled and spoke again, “We


    started with a blind date and got a blitz marriage. I’m sorry we couldn’t build a solid emotional


    foundation before hastily getting married.”


    stor remained silent.


    “I know you well. Even if I beg you not to get a divorce and start over, you’ll never forget about the


    matter.” Anastasia wanted to persuade stor to give up, divorce her, and have no further involvement


    with each other.


    “I want to give it a try…” For stor, this also required a tremendous amount of courage.


    He believed he had given all his favoritism to Anastasia.


    Anastasia was his only exception.

    He wanted to test whether his reluctance and unwillingness to let go of Anastasia were signs of love.


    If it was indeed love, he wanted to ascertain whether his feelings for Anastasia could help him break


    down the barriers in his heart.


    “Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself?” Anastasia couldn’t help but chuckle. “After all,


    you don’t love me.”


    “I want to find out if I truly love you,” stor said, his tone firm, as he gazed at Anastasia.


    Anastasia was momentarily taken aback and felt a hint of amusement. “I can’t believe you’re


    questioning whether you love


    someone or not…”


    However, life is not a game, and neither are feelings.


    Games could be restarted, but love couldn’t.


    She would leave once she felt thoroughly disappointed.


    “Anastasia, my parents didn’t have a foundation of a rtionship either. My dad chose to marry my


    mom on his own ord. My grandparents never pressured him into it,” stor said, avoiding the topic


    of his own family as it made him feel


    uneasy.


    Anastasia took a deep breath and said nothing.


    stor and Christian were strikingly simr, even in their past rtionship experiences.


    Due to their first love, they left and impulsively married other women. However, after marriage, they


    realized these women weren’t what they truly desired, so they fled.


    stor performed his irresponsibility to the fullest extent.


    “I don’t want to be like him,” stor said with a sense of desperation, longing to break away from his


    father’s ways yet unsure how to proceed.


    “I’m destined to be the victim while you figure things out,” Anastasia acknowledged the reality, feeling


    resigned to her fate, and allowed him to proceed as he wished. “How long are you going to keep


    trying?”


    “Until Grandma dies.” stor knew that Andrea didn’t have much time left.


    He also didn’t want to dy for too long.


    Anastasia nodded. “What about Felicia? How do you n to deal with her?”


    “What do you want me to do?” stor was unsure what he should do.
