Chapter 0377 ANASTASIA

This time, Dennis became rigid. There was a short silence before he slowly pulled away, his hands lightly resting on my waist. His forehead was scrunched deeply as he asked, "What do you mean he took care of the bills?" He laid emphasis on 'took care. I frowned, confused. "I mean he paid her hospital bills.

"Whose?" He asked as his hands fell from my waist to his sides.

A light laugh escaped me, "Amie's, of course. Who else?"

"Anastasia, I am your husband. I have been taking care of you and Amie since we got married. I have been taking care of the bills? Why would you ask him for help? Did I complain to you?"

The doctor had come to check on Amie when I decided to ask him about the bills. I followed him and asked him so I could inform Dennis when he turned to me with a frown.. ""What bills?"

At first I was surprised but I quickly caught myself. "Amie's. I want to know what we have le-"
