Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 86

Anastasia stared at Jason, utterly shocked. Marry him?

“Are you out of your mind?” Was he nuts, or was it her?

“I know I can’t offer you the kind of security you want because I’m not Alastor. I don’t have the same wealth or status, so none of you women is interested in me.” Jason looked down, disappointment written all over his face.

“Anastasia, you won’t even agree to this small request of mine? What if I fail to fulfill Grandma’s wish…” Jason’s eyes reddened.

Anastasia’s thoughts were tangled, and her fingers clenched tightly. “Let me think about it.”

Jason smiled. “Sure!”

Anastasia was taken aback. Was he doing this on purpose?
