Chapter 304

Tavon was a bit surprised but didn’t think too much about it. After telling Salma to get some rest, he arranged a room for Anastasia and then took off.

Once Tavon was gone, Salma held Anastasia’s hand and said earnestly, “Ana, no matter what he does, he’s still your dad. You always call him Tavon. That’s not quite right. You guys are father and daughter, and I hope you can get along.”

Anastasia sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of helplessness. Her mother’s obsession with love was troubling. On one hand, Anastasia didn’t want Salma to see Tavon’s true colors, on the other, she was worried about Salma getting hurt. She wished Tavon had never shown up, then she and her mother could live peacefully.

Changing the subject, Anastasia asked, “Mom, do you want some fruit? I can peel it for you.”

Salma nodded, understanding Anastasia’s intention. As she peeled an apple, Anastasia casually asked, “Mom, when do you plan on going back? If you’re feeling well, you should head back to Riverdale. You’ve been living there a long tim. You should be able to adjust.”
