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.

Anastasia sighed internally, “And how did you respond?”

Seeing Anastasia’s lack of strong reaction, her mom felt slightly relieved, “I told him we’d discuss when you get back.”

Anastasia cut to the chase, “Did he say anything about his plans for you?”

Salma gave an awkward chuckle, “He just wants you back home, and nothing else matters. He said he wants you to help manage the vineyard, and even promised a higher-paying job for your husband.”

Anastasia stood up, “Mom, did you promise him anything else?”.
