Katrina knew that Mason wanted to date her, so Katrina put a stop to it and even hurled insults at her while she was pregnant.
Even so, Mason ignored his sister’s protests and continued to take very good care of her. She was all alone in a foreign country, and sometimes she had no other choice but to accept his caring and thoughtful gestures to survive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was once when Jared had a high fever, and it was Mason who accompanied her through it all. He carried Jared and ran down many blocks of streets until they found a doctor who could attend to Jared. Thankfully, Jared managed to pull through.
That was the most frightened and distraught that Anastasia had ever been, and it was him who ignored his sister's objections and did everything he could to help her.
Therefore, no matter how Katrina treated her, Anastasia would not take it to heart.
“Anastasia, where’s Jared? | haven't seen him in so long!” Mason exclaimed.
“He's in class right now. He's already four! I'll bring him to meet you stime.” Anastasia chuckled.
“Sure! I'm sure he’s quite a looker now. He was so cute as a baby, so he'll definitely grow up to beca handsman,” Mason praised.
Anastasia thought about Elliot. If Jared grew up to look like his father, he was going to be an incredibly handsman indeed! “How did you end up working in Bourgeois?” Anastasia asked out of curiosity.
“I was headhunted and invited to take the position, and | have a lot of faith in Bourgeois’ future development as a company, so | decided to cback to the country. | never thought our paths would cross like this again, but | ended up seeing your nat the office.” “That's right, | used to work for Bourgeois.” “Used to? Why did you resign?” Mason asked.

Then, she finally remembered about the two invitation cards, so she took them out and passed it over to Mason. “Here, I'll be getting married soon, so | hope you two will cand attend the ceremony.” Mason stared at the invitation cards for a very long tbefore taking them. There was a flash of dejection in his eyes. “You're getting married, huh?” He flipped the card open as he said that. Once he saw the nwritten inside, his eyes flickered. “Elliot Presgrave? Your fiancé is Elliot Presgrave?” Anastasia knew that he would be shocked. She nodded and said, “Yeah, my fiancé’s nis Elliot Presgrave.” “Bourgeois’ owner, the president of Presgrave Group, Elliot Presgrave?” Mason chuckled somewhat bitterly as he bid goodbye to his fleeting moment of joy earlier.
Sometimes, even when one reunited with the person they longed for, one still did not get a second chance, because someone even better-a man even more powerful than one-was now by that person’s side.
“Yes, that's him. He's also Jared's father.” Anastasia nodded and shared a secret. Instantly, Mason's eyes flashed. “What?! He's Jared's father? That b*stard?” Anastasia nodded and pursed her lips. “Mason, you shouldn't say that about him. It was all an accident back then.” “But... but what he did left you with so much pain, and so much despair... that you even tried...” Mason did not dare continue.
Mason had saved Anastasia once. It was when she was five months pregnant. She had lost all hope and attempted to take her life by jumping off a bridge. Mason was the one who jumped into the river and rescued her.
Therefore, in his eyes, the man who got her pregnant was an irresponsible bestard.
Anastasia sighed and urged him softly. “Mason, just leave the past in the past. I'm really happy right now.” Mason's fists tightened. “Why do your want to marry him? Is he trying to get custody of Jared? Is that why you have to marry him?” Anastasia was taken aback but she shook her head. “No. A lot of things happened between us, and he has expressed a lot of regret about the past. We're truly in love.” “Does he know the disaster he brought onto you? Does he know everything you suffered through five years ago all alone in a foreign country?” Anastasia never mentioned the past to Elliot because she considered it an ill fated low point in her life, but now that Mason showed up, those memories began to resurface again.
