Chapter 58

Anastasia looked at the agreement for a while before speaking. “Alastor, would you be sad if I died?”

Alastor frowned, his expression growing more disdainful. “You value your life more than anyone else.”

Alastor knew that Anastasia treasured her life more than anyone else.

Indeed, valuing her life and having her life taken away were two distinct concepts.

A prolonged silence enveloped the room as Anastasia perused the divorce agreement, and one of the terms caught her attention. “Bearing this child and subsequently undergoing a DNA paternity test.
