Chapter 35

If she knew it would come to this, why did she do what she did back then?

Once upon a time, Cason made the firm decision to study abroad, throwing their relationship to the

wind.

After he left, she sent him a breakup message. When she didn’t get a response after a day, she

blocked all his contacts.

From then on, they hadn’t been in touch for five or six years.

She’s married now, and yet, he’s back.

Anastasia pondered for a moment before saying on the phone, “I’ll be right there.”

She agreed to meet Cason, not with any ulterior motive, but just to formally say goodbye and clear the

air.

Anastasia put on her shoes and walked out. At the entrance to her complex, Cason’s Maybach was

parked at the curb.

Luxury cars have a natural allure for men. A Maybach parked at the curb had the security guard at the

gate stealing a few glances.

When Anastasia passed by, the security guard’s eyes fell on her. Seeing her approach the Maybach,

his look became somewhat contemptuous.

In his eyes, all women loved money, and all beauties belonged to the rich.

On seeing Anastasia, Cason immediately got out of the car, smiling. “Anastasia, you’re here. Let’s grab

some afternoon tea, yeah?”

“No need, I just had a latte.” Anastasia’s expression was cold, she didn’t get in the car. She said icily,

“Cason, please don’t contact me again, I don’t want my husband to get the wrong idea.”

“Anastasia, I know you’re still mad about me studying abroad. I’d do anything to make it right.” Cason

said, still smiling. “I can provide a better life for you

now.”

Right, back then, Cason’s mother disliked her because she came from a single-parent family and

strongly opposed their relationship.

Maybe it was for this reason that Cason’s mother sent him overseas.

Anastasia didn’t want to bring up the past. She said calmly, “Cason, nobody waits forever. We’re done.

I’ll say it again, please don’t interfere with my husband and my life, thanks.”

Anastasia knew she had to set clear boundaries with Cason.

Having said that, Anastasia turned to leave. Cason grabbed her arm, emotional, “Anastasia, he’s a

poor man. What can he give you? He’s just a junior employee, driving a cheap car worth a few tens of

thousands, even the house he lives in is rented. He can’t give you happiness.”

Anastasia scoffed, “So in your eyes, happiness is measured by money, huh? Cason, does this make

you feel good?”

“Anastasia Cason furrowed his brows. “You guys don’t have a house, with your husband’s meager

salary, you’ll never afford a house in Riverdale. You once said you wanted a home. I bought a house in

Southridge Estates. I’m doing all this for you…

“Stop. Anastasia looked him in the eyes, “You can say it’s for your parents, for your ambition, but don’t

say it’s for me. And don’t ever come looking for me

again.”

Anastasia pushed Cason’s hand away. If she had any lingering feelings before, Cason’s actions now

completely ruined any remaining fond memories.

She had waited for Cason, waited for many years, but as her heart gradually cooled, she started to let

go.

“I heard about you dropping out of college Cason said, “It was only when I visited your college

professor yesterday that I truly understood why you quit school. It was for a man.”

The mention of dropping out of college made Anastasia’s face turn sour, “Cason, what’s the point of

bringing that up? My leaving school wasn’t because of you, it was…

She thought Cason was talking about himself. Even though part of the reason for dropping out was

indeed Cason, she wasn’t willing to admit it now.

“I know, it was for another man.”

After Cason said this, Anastasia stared at him in surprise, “Another man?”
