Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 204

“That little tramp Anastasia—God knows what tricks she pulled to have your father singing her praises again!” Her mother’s smile was stiff, almost forced. “But you’re still the apple of his eye. Just give it some time, sweetheart.”

But Penelope was no fool. She knew perfectly well her mother was just trying to comfort her.

She lowered her head, eyes burning with resentment.

Anastasia!!!

…

Because Anastasia didn’t have morning classes the next day, the car took a detour straight back to Rosewood Manor.

“You’re back already?” Marcus Jackson looked up in surprise.

He’d already resigned himself to a lonely week until the weekend.

“Just wanted to check if you were still alive.” Anastasia stepped out from behind Harrison, her tone dry.

Marcus blinked.

Why did it feel like she couldn’t stand the sight of him? Had he offended her somehow?

“Don’t tease,” Harrison said, ruffling his wife’s hair.

His words sounded like a scolding, but his voice overflowed with affection.

“Okay!” Anastasia replied instantly, all sweet and docile.

Marcus choked, suddenly feeling rather pitiful.

Clearly, Harrison was a lost cause—he’d never take Marcus’s side again.

Just then, Harrison’s phone rang. He glanced at the two of them. “Play nice,” he said before heading upstairs to his study.

Marcus immediately fixed his gaze on Anastasia, narrowing his eyes. “Did I piss you off or something?”

Anastasia thought of that screenshot where Marcus had told her to get lost. Her voice was cool: “Nope.”

“Then why are you always on my case?”

“What do you mean I’m on your case? I’m just looking out for you, Marcus!”

Marcus was speechless.

Anastasia started up the stairs at her own pace.

But Marcus called after her, “Wait—”

She paused on the steps and looked back, sounding bored. “What now?”
