Chapter 137
“Can you just leave?” Anastasia looked at Felicia and spoke again. “Both of you, just go.”
Alastor grabbed Anastasia’s hand, saying, “Anastasia, I’ll drive you home.”
“What about her?” Anastasia pointed to Felicia.
“It’s not easy to get a cab here, and she’s pregnant…” Alastor wanted to suggest that they first send Felicia back and then have a proper talk with Anastasia.
Anastasia felt numb and smiled faintly at Felicia. “Goodbye”
Alastor was getting angry. “Anastasia! Get in the car. Don’t make me say it again.”
Anastasia took two steps, then halted and looked back at Alastor.
Felicia’s face turned dark with anger, and she turned around to get into the passenger seat next to Alastor.
Anastasia stood still, looking at Alastor.
She just stared at him and didn’t say anything.
But Alastor did not intend to ask Felicia to move to the back. “Anastasia, she gets car sick, and her morning sickness has been severe recently…”
Since Felicia was experiencing morning sickness, she sat in the front while Anastasia was asked to sit in the back.

Anastasia stood there without any intention of getting into the car. She clenched her fingers slowly.
Felicia glanced at Anastasia provocatively, snorted, got in the car, and closed the door.
Alastor looked at Anastasia and frowned when he saw she wasn’t getting into the car. He said, “She lives nearby. I’ll drop her off and come back to pick you up. Wait for me here.”
It was winter. Even though Hork wasn’t cold, it still made Anastasia stand in the chilly wind waiting for his return. Only Alastor could come up with such an idea.
Since she was no longer pregnant now, he had to take care of Felicia.
Besides, Felicia was pregnant with his child.
Anastasia laughed sarcastically and looked up at the dark sky.
Alastor had said he didn’t like children.
However, he still took care of Felicia meticulously.
“Do you hear me? Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.” Alastor was anxious and regretted not asking his assistant to send Felicia back.
Anastasia didn’t say anything. She didn’t agree or refuse him.
She had been too naive.
If Felicia hadn’t taken the initiative to expose this relationship, she wouldn’t have known that Alastor had been with Felicia for so long.
She wouldn’t have known Felicia was his first girlfriend and that he had hidden the latter in his office.
Anastasia took a deep breath and called Jason. “Jason, where are you?”
“I’ve just finished the last order and was about to call you.” Jason was smiling as if he was glad that they shared some form of telepathy.
When he noticed Anastasia didn’t speak, Jason uttered, “I’ll be right back. What do you want to eat? I’m at Hofcaster Food Street. There are so many delicious foods in the night market. Let me buy some for you.”
“What a coincidence. I’m also nearby. I’m at the police station in the university town,” Anastasia said.
On the other end of the phone, Jason was silent.
Anastasia picked up her phone and glanced at it without hanging up.
“Wait for me there.”
Jason didn’t hang up, but Anastasia knew that he was in a hurry.
At that moment, Anastasia suddenly understood that this was likely the difference between love and indifference, between caring and not caring.
