Chapter 298

This was the first time Herman had said so much in front of her in one go. He was careful with every word, weighing them before they left his lips, afraid he might say something wrong or too much, afraid she might get upset.

She listened to his explanation. Reflecting on the past few months, she felt she had been too naive, too trusting of Herman. She believed everything he said without doubting him once. She found it amusing now that she had initially shared living expenses with Herman. Sharing expenses with a billionaire? She would be a laughingstock if it got out.

Anastasia lowered her head and laughed at herself. “You must have had a tough time pretending to be poor these past months, huh? You’re used to living in big villas, but you had to stay in a three-bedroom house with me. You’re used to eating exotic food, but I only served you boiled eggs and pancakes for breakfast. You’re used to riding in luxury cars, but you had to drive around in a Chevy that’s just over a hundred grand. Uncomfortable, wasn’t it…”

“Anastasia,” Herman interrupted her softly, holding her shoulders tight. “It doesn’t matter where we live, what we eat, or what car we drive, as long as you’re with me. We can continue living in Harmony Meadows if you don’t like this mansion.”

She gave him a wry smile, looking into his sincere eyes. “Herman, what was your initial motive for deceiving me?”

Herman’s eyes flickered, and suddenly, he couldn’t answer.

“Let me answer that for you,” Anastasia said. “You didn’t trust me.”

Herman had no retort. Indeed, he didn’t trust her, which was why he pretended to be poor to test her. As he nodded in agreement, Anastasia immediately got angry and stormed off downstairs.
