Chapter 26

*Anastasia, since your registration of marriage without a word, you have never come out to hang out with us at midnight. What’s going on today?” one of Anastasia’s friends laughed and teaseil.

Anastasia didn’t speak.

“It’s all because of me,” Kimberly answered instead.

“Annie, you’re partial to Kimberly. I’m jealous,” the friend joked as she sat beside Anastasia.

“Why didn’t Marilyn come?” Kimberly glanced at everyone and found that one of their friends was absent.

“Marilyn Swanson? She broke up with her boyfriend and went abroad to travel. The friend sighed. “She has been in a relationship with her boyfriend for three years, but she was no match for his first crush. I heard that his first crush came back to find him, and he didn’t even hesitate to break up despite three years of relationship.”

“Haven’t you heard of it? The first crush is always the best, and those who appear later are no match for the first crush,” another friend joked. As soon as she finished speaking, she was attracted by a man who served them wine. “Look, a handsome man!”

Jason didn’t speak. He just glanced at Anastasia and frowned slightly.

Anastasia and Kimberly were also stunned. “W–What a coincidence.”

“You know him?” their friend asked and grabbed Kimberly’s arm. “He’s so handsome. He’s mine.”

“He is my classmate,” Kimberly explained and looked back at Jason. “Are you here to work part–time?”

“Yeah. Jason admitted.
