Chapter 276

Anastasia always had a knack for seeing right through things. Salma offered a slightly awkward smile, “He came to see me once.”

This wasn’t surprising to Anastasia. While tying her apron to cook, she asked, “What did he want this time?”

“Your dad said there’s a good day next month he picked. He hopes you could go home.” Salma, leaning on her cane at the kitchen entrance, carefully observed Anastasia’s face as she spoke. She looked cautious, like a kid caught red-handed by adults.
