Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 183

Jason stared at Anastasia in a daze. “Do you still love him?”

“No, I don’t love him anymore…” Anastasia’s voice was hoarse.

“In that case, after your divorce, I’ll take care of you…” Jason averted his gaze before adding, “And the child.”

“You’re crazy.” Anastasia’s eyes reddened, and she turned to walk away.

The proceeds from her art exhibition were enough to support her child.

Even if she died, she could leave some money for her child.

Deep down, she had already made up her mind.

Once the child was born, she would send it to her uncle, Brendan Foster, who was living in the countryside.

Anastasia had an uncle who had played a crucial role in her survival after her mother’s death.

He was poor and disabled but strong-willed. He and his wife, Ciara Foster, had never had children of their own and had considered raising Anastasia. However, the lack of good educational opportunities in their hometown, combined with Anastasia’s love of art, led them to abandon the idea.

Brendan would travel a considerable distance to visit Anastasia each month, despite being disabled, just to bring the pickles that Ciara had made.

Brendan paid her numerous visits during her university years but was mocked by her classmates. Brendan eventually stopped coming, possibly because he did not want Anastasia to be embarrassed.

Brendan was always happy to see Anastasia when she returned to spend the holidays with him.

However, after she married Alastor, her uncle stopped visiting the city.

In fact, he never bothered Anastasia and never called her.
