Chapter 215

“Oh my God, is that my big sister?”

Valeria caught sight of Anastasia out of the corner of her eye as she was about to walk into the restaurant.

She called out with fake sweetness, “Ana! You’re here for sushi too? That line’s insane, though—you’ll be waiting forever.”

She paused for dramatic effect before adding, “But hey, if you want, you could totally tag along with me. My little man here gets VIP treatment.”

Jasper’s gaze shifted past Valeria and locked onto Anastasia.

She looked even more stunning than before, which seriously pissed him off.

How the fuck is she doing so well without me?

“God, what’s that nasty smell?” Tamia suddenly blurted out.

“Yeah, it’s disgusting,” Anastasia agreed.

“Smells like cheap perfume mixed with desperation. I’m already ready to hurl, and we haven’t even eaten yet,” Tamia said, wrinkling her nose.

“Let’s get out of here.”

“Hell yes. I’m done with this place.”

Anastasia and Tamia walked away looking completely unbothered, which made Valeria’s blood absolutely boil.

She stomped her designer heels and let out a shriek. “Are you fucking kidding me right now?!”

When Jasper just stood there like a statue, Valeria spun around to face him. “Why the hell didn’t you say anything?”

Jasper’s jaw tightened in annoyance. “What exactly did you want me to do? Get into a catfight with them? Confirm that you’re a side chick?”

Keeping his mouth shut was the only smart play. If Valeria had any good comebacks, she would’ve used them instead of just standing there looking stupid.

Now she was taking her frustration out on him?

“I’m literally pregnant with your baby! When some bitches come for me, you’re supposed to have my back!”

Jasper noticed people pulling out their phones to record the drama.

“We’re leaving. Stop embarrassing yourself,” he said through gritted teeth.

“No way! I didn’t do shit wrong! Why should I run away?”

Valeria threw a full-blown tantrum, stomping around like a spoiled brat.

Jasper’s expression went ice cold. “Fine. Do whatever the hell you want.”

He turned and walked away without giving her a second glance.

Valeria watched him leave, her face twisted with pure rage. She was literally shaking with anger.

She remembered how Jasper used to bend over backward whenever he and Anastasia had fights. She never knew what those arguments were about, but Jasper would practically grovel to get Anastasia back, looking completely whipped.

But he’d never treated her like that. Not even close. All she got was attitude and cold shoulders.

Tears started welling up in her eyes. “Would it literally kill you to be sweet to me? Just once?”

The difference between being loved and being tolerated was painfully obvious.

But Valeria refused to admit it.

She took a shaky breath, swallowed her pride, and chased after him. “Jasper! Wait for me!”
