Chapter 0377 ANASTASIA

This time, Dennis became rigid. There was a short silence before he slowly pulled away, his hands lightly resting on my waist. His forehead was scrunched deeply as he asked, "What do you mean he took care of the bills?" He laid emphasis on 'took care. I frowned, confused. "I mean he paid her hospital bills.

"Whose?" He asked as his hands fell from my waist to his sides.

A light laugh escaped me, "Amie's, of course. Who else?"

"Why?" There was an edge to his voice that warned me to trudge carefully.

I started slowly, "I do not know, I just-"

"Did you ask him to p

.e bills?"

"Anastasia, I am your husband. I have been taking care of you and Amie since we got married. I have been taking care of the bills? Why would you ask him for help? Did I complain to you?"

I flinched back, surprised at his tone. Even though he spoke in a low voice, the anger and accusations in his tone couldn't be wrongly placed.

"I didn't do that. I did not ask him to," my voice trembled as I spoke.

"Right!" He hissed, walked away from me. He turned his back to me, ran his hands through his hair and gripped the strands tightly at his nape.

I walked to him. "Dennis, are you even listening to me? I did not ask him to settle the bills." I stressed. "I was just informed at the hospital that the bill has been settled."

The doctor had come to check on Amie when I decided to ask him about the bills. I followed him and asked him so I could inform Dennis when he turned to me with a frown.. ""What bills?"

At first I was surprised but I quickly caught myself. "Amie's. I want to know what we have le-"

Since her treatment was now heavy, we now had to pay more than twice in a month. Dennis had paid at the start of the month but I vaguely remembered him telling his accountant to increase the budget for 'the hospital bill.' "Oh. How come you don't know. It's been settled."

was about to tell him I didn't know when a nurse ran up to him. There was an emergency in another ward. He excused himself and left..

I had gone out to get lunch when the nurse handed me the receipt for the payment. The man' had forgotten to take it.

The signature on the reciept hadn't been Dennis's. I still remembered the twinkle in the nurses gaze as Chapter 0377

she told me. "It's isn't Amie's dad, it's the other man."

"You were informed and you just concluded that it was Aiden?" He drahhed me out of my thoughts.

"I was surprised. I didn't know about it until I asked the nurse and she gave me the description of the person that paid."

"And let me guess, the description wasn't mine, right?" He said harshly as he walked further away from

1. me.

"Dennis!"

He hissed again and started to pace the room.

"What's wrong with you, Dennis?" I blurted. "What exactly is wrong with you?"

I'd seen the signs but I chose to ignored them. I've come up with so many excuses for them but not anymore. We couldn't go on like this. I couldn't let my silence ruin everything.

He scoffed without look chuckled bitterly.

ny way. "Did you just ask me that question? What is wrong with me!" He

"Yes, what's wrong with you?" I repeated firmly. "Because you've changed. These days, you're always angry."

He turned to me but he said nothing so I continued. "I understand that you've been through a lot these past couple of months but it's not like things have been easy for me too, you know. Things have been tough for me too." He scoffed again and I felt infuriated all over.

"Why do you keep making that sound?" I yelled and my body shook as I spoke. "What's happening Denis?! don't know you anymore." I briefly glanced up to hold back my tears. "I don't like to see you this way. I don't know this man that you've become. You're not the man I got married to." I added in a whisper. You've changed."

He laughed bitterly. "You think I've changed? You think I've changed because of the complicated web our marriage have become?" He jabbed his fingers against his chest. "I'm doing my best, Anastasia. I'm doing my best yet you don't think it's enough."

"I didn't say you're not doing enough. But you've changed. You have no idea how much that hurts, Dennis. I feel like I now live with a stranger."

He threw his hands up. "Maybe I'm a stranger then. Maybe that's what I've been all along," he erupted as he walked past me and roughly brushed my shoulder.

"What are you even saying?" I turned to him, watching as he grabbed his car keys and started to walked out of the room.

"Was there even an emergency this morning?" I followed him as he descended the stairs, taking more than two steps at a time.

"Now I'm lying, right? I'm not doing enough, I'm a stranger and now I'm a liar! Wow!" Then he walk out of the door.

"Dennis, please, listen to me."

He furiously turned to me. "What? What more do you want to accuse me of?"

My lips quivered. "Why are you suddenly mad because Dennis paid the bills?"

He scoffed. "Are you serious right now?"

"Anastasia, you are my wife! Amie is my step daughter, do not want another man to take care of you," he scrunched up his face, "or settle bills just because he's temporarily in our lives. He had no right to do what he did."

"But Amie is his daughter," I whispered.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

He went still and just stared at me, his face expressionless.

"Wow. I get it now," he turned and headed to his car.

I ran after him. "Dennis, p'

e, let's talk this out."

"Dennis!" My heart shattered as I watched him zoom off.
