Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 938

"Then why didn't you reach out to me?" Anastasia stared at him, a little upset.

She suddenly remembered a period when he was often slow to reply to her messages. She had been worried about him and suggested meeting up more than once, but he made all sorts of excuses to avoid it.

At the time, she hadn't understood why, but now it all made sense. His slow replies were probably because he was in the hospital, and he refused to meet her because he was afraid she would find out his identity!

But Anastasia felt that, while they hadn't known each other as long in this life as in the last, she had actively cultivated their friendship. Was he really that opposed to interacting with her in real life?

Her expression turned sorrowful.

Carter, who was watching her closely, felt a tightness in his chest.

He said with difficulty, "I was just afraid you would... look down on me."

Anastasia immediately looked up. "Why would I look down on you?"

Carter lowered his eyes, his voice calm. "I'm an illegitimate son. And my mother was the one who... destroyed Harrison's family."

Sensing the deep-seated insecurity and self-loathing he carried, Anastasia was momentarily speechless.

After a moment, she said, a little annoyed, "I've always considered you a good friend, don't you know that? Why would you think I'd look down on you because of something like that?"

Carter looked up, stunned.

Anastasia continued, not hiding her bias, "Susan is Susan, and you are you. What does what she did have to do with you? Not to mention she treated you poorly. You're a victim in this too! Why would I resent you because of her?"

To reassure him, she added, "You probably don't know this, but even before I knew you were Sonder, I didn't dislike you. I thought you might have sensed that, especially since I agreed to treat you."
