Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 970

With Susan in the picture, it was unlikely they would have any more contact with Carter.

Carter probably knew this as well, which was why he still hadn't called Anastasia.

While the others chatted, Anastasia was lost in thought, not saying a word.

Harrison gently squeezed her hand. "What are you thinking about?"

Anastasia snapped out of her daze, glanced at the others, and leaned in to whisper in Harrison's ear, "I just feel like Susan's behavior is a bit strange."

Her breath tickled his ear, and he tilted his head slightly. "How so?"

"Her actions were so extreme. If Carter were a son she doted on and cared deeply for, I might not think much of it. But think about it—before, she only pretended to care about Carter, right? The one she really cared about was Lennon. She was even willing to disregard Carter's life to snatch away his chance for treatment. So, for a son who meant so little to her, would she really be so provoked just because he got a little closer to Mom? It doesn't add up!"

Harrison continued to gently knead her hand. "Mm, you're right, it doesn't quite add up."

"So there has to be another reason! And I'm going to find out what it is!"

"What are you two whispering about over there?" Lady suddenly looked over, asking teasingly.

Anastasia, who had been practically draped over Harrison, quickly sat up straight, a bashful smile on her face.

"Grandma, you just called it a secret. Of course I can't tell you!"

After dinner, Anastasia couldn't suppress her worry any longer. She quietly went upstairs and gave Carter a call.

It took a long time for him to answer.

"Carter? How are you?"

"...I'm fine."

Harrison was standing at the door. "Were you on the phone with Carter?"

"Yeah," Anastasia nodded, not denying it. She walked over and wrapped her arms around his waist, sighing. "How could Carter have a mother like that? I can tell he's in a really bad mood."

Harrison ran his fingers through her hair and looked down at her. "Seeing my Ana so completely focused on someone else puts me in a bad mood, too."

Anastasia couldn't help but laugh. "What do you mean, completely focused on someone else? Right now, my eyes are only on you," she retorted.

She stood on her toes and kissed his chin. "My hubby gets so jealous!"

Harrison didn't even try to deny it. He bent down and kissed the corner of her lips, his voice low and gentle. "So stay away from other men and think a little more about your jealous hubby, okay?"

Anastasia's lips curled into a smile as she nuzzled her head against his chest. "Okay."
