Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 77

She shot Anastasia a resentful glare. “Weren’t you just about to pack your things and leave?”

Anastasia’s eyes lit up as if she’d just remembered something, and a sly smile tugged at her lips. “Oh, thanks for the reminder! I do need to pack—”

Before Alice could let even the tiniest hope rise within her, Anastasia continued, “Mr. Lancaster and I have an appointment at the registry to get our marriage license. If we wait any longer, the office will close!”

“A marriage license?!”

Alice’s eyes flew wide in disbelief.

“That’s right,” Anastasia replied, watching Alice struggle to compose her features. “Is there a problem with that?”

A problem?

Alice didn’t dare have an opinion—not that she had any right to one. She nearly dug her nails into her palm, biting her lip so hard it almost bled. Under Mr. Lancaster’s chilling gaze, she managed to force out a strained, twisted smile. “No… no problem at all.”

Harrison barely spared her a glance before looking away, as if she were utterly unimportant.

He checked his watch and said to Anastasia, “Go get changed.”

Anastasia nodded obediently and was about to leave when she stopped short, remembering something.

“So, does that give her the right to go through my things whenever she wants?”

Alice’s heart thudded anxiously—she knew exactly where this was going.

She rushed to defend herself. “Mr. Lancaster, I was just cleaning the room when I saw the phone—”

Anastasia cut her off. “That phone was locked in a drawer. How could you have seen it by accident?”
