Chapter 226 Special - : #12
Anastasia had fallen asleep after her call with Megan, only to be awoken to the sound of someone knocking on her front door.
Reluctantly, she slipped out of bed and made her way towards the front door and without checking who was at the door, opened it.
When her eyes landed on the person standing in front of her, her expression switched from surprised to angry, then back to surprise, because she had not expected to see her mother standing in front of her door after so long.
“At times I want to believe that you’re blind to my call, but then I see you winning all these cases on national Television and realize, oh wait, my daughter does have eyes.” Pushing her way into Anastasia’s apartment, Fiona dropped her purse and coat on the chair and turned to face her daughter. “Give me one good reason why you’ve been avoiding my calls?”
“Didn’t Mason pass along my message?” Anastasia questioned, closing the door and heading to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.
While doing so, she didn’t fail to notice how clean the kitchen was and the package soup in the freezer.
It was Lloyd’s doing, she was sure of it.
“You must have been joking.” Fiona scoffed. “I take my time and arrange these dates for you so that you don’t end up in a situation like your previous relationship, and the best you can do is shame me by not showing up?”
“Well, you wouldn’t have to endure the ‘shame’ if only you respect the fact that I’m not ready for another relationship. Shouldn’t you know this, as my mother.”
Fiona flinched when her daughter fixed her with a look that said it all. “I’m just trying to help you.” She defended.
“You can’t help me find love.” Anastasia countered, the tone in her voice stating that the conversation should come to an end soon.
