The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 664

Alisa was huddled under a blanket, her eyes darting around nervously as she stammered, "Jason, you were hammered. You grabbed me and then... I don't blame you. It was my choice."

Jason's face turned ashen, his expression souring with disgust. How could he have stooped so low?

His mind a tangled mess, Jason rubbed his forehead and said, "Anastasia, I gotta head out. About tonight... I... I'm really sorry."

He wished he could just kick himself. To think he had ended up in bed with his buddy's wife.

After getting dressed and grabbing his phone, Jason left at 3 AM.

Alisa tried to stop him, her words teetering on the edge of her lips, but they never made it out.

Truth was, Jason hadn't done a thing. Yet, the outcome she desired had been achieved.

Given Jason's nature, a misunderstanding like this meant he wouldn't just walk away.

Sitting in his car beneath the apartment complex, Jason saw a message from Monica but no missed calls—the call log had been cleared.

Alisa had seen the messages on Jason's phone and even marked the WhatsApp messages as unread.

Seeing Monica's text threw Jason into a tailspin. He lit a cigarette, his mind racing.

Regardless of how it happened, it had happened. For the sake of his late friend Will, he couldn't just ignore it.

Punching the steering wheel in frustration, Jason took a deep drag from his cigarette.

He didn't get home until dawn.

He didn't know how to face Monica and merely replied: Busy.

Monica, who had been anxiously awaiting a message all night, felt a sting at his brief response.

Early in their relationship, they should have been inseparable, and such a curt message was bound to upset her.
