His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2165

Since Anastasia did not calone, she could leave even if Maria refused to let her go. Nonetheless, Anastasia did not want things

to end so poorly for her aunt.

When Anastasia returned to the car, she turned back to look at the house. All her childhood memories flooded her mind as she

recalled her there.

“Would you like to stay a little longer?” Cameron asked, sitting beside her.

“No.” Anastasia shook her head, knowing she should not dwell on the past.

“Let's go,” Cameron instructed the driver.

As the car moved away, Anastasia looked at the receding house and buried her head into her father’s shoulder, sobbing, “Why?

Why did things have to turn out this way?”

Cameron caressed her head and sighed. He could feel her pain. He only showed Fabian and Maria mercy for his daughter's sake. If

not, Maria would have ended up in a cold, damp holding cell like Fabian.

“It's just human nature,” he murmured.

“l don’t believe it.” Anastasia looked up with teary eyes. “Uncle Fabian and Aunt Maria cared forsince | was a kid. Was it all an

act?”

Cameron looked at her profoundly and brushed her stray hairs aside. “They might've genuinely cared for you then, but people lose

themselves sometimes.

“Fabian and Maria were nice to you partly to makehappy, but I'm sure they still treated you as family. They've been blinded by

greed.” He sighed, feeling sad as well.

‘Indeed, human nature is unpredictable.’

“What about Rhea?” Frowning, Anastasia looked somewhat puzzled. “Do you think she treatsas her family?”

“Well...” Cameron hesitated. He couldn't bear to lie to her. As far as he could remember, Rhea had always been reserved and

gloomy as a child.

Since Cameron was always busy at work, he sometimes visited his daughter at Fabian’s house, bringing gifts for Rhea. However,

whether the gifts were dolls, clothes, or other toys and accessories, she had never played with or worn them.

Cameron did not think much of it since he hardly visited them. After everything that happened, he realized Rhea must have hated

him and Anastasia. He thought it was a pity that no one knew it then.

Cameron blamed himself for not realizing it sooner whenever he thought about it. He knew he could have saved his daughter from

all the suffering.

He wrapped his arm around Anastasia and pressed her shoulders gently. “Don’t overthink it, okay? It's not your fault she

committed those crimes.”
