Anastasia took it from him, but she suddenly blushed. “No thanks.”

Elliot got what she was thinking immediately and guffawed. “What in the world are you thinking? Is your little mind constantly filled with lewd thoughts?”

Anastasia’s face flushed bright red at that. Yes, she had overreacted, but he had clearly done it on purpose, hadn’t he?

Elliot laughed at her for quite a while before finally helping himself to the fruits. Just then, he looked somewhat lustfully at her. “Feel free to come at me if you have any needs in this regard.”

“I don’t.” Anastasia rolled her eyes straight at him.

Elliot only smiled, looking like an incubus, hot as hell.

Anastasia got up and went to gather the laundry hanging on the balcony, not daring to take another look at him. By the time she came back in, Elliot had slouched on the couch, looking weary.

Instead of watching TV, he fixed his gaze on her while holding the tea she had brewed for him.

It had unknowingly reached 9.30PM, and Anastasia looked toward the man who had been hanging around for nearly an hour. “It’s getting late. When are you going to leave?”

“Can I sleep in your bed tonight?” Elliot got greedy.

“No.” It was a hard pass.

At that, he sighed disappointedly. “Your bed to me is the best cure for insomnia, and my head has been hurting lately…”

Anastasia wasn’t sure if he was lying or not, but when she looked at him, he was rubbing his temples, looking like he seriously had a throbbing headache.

Her heart ached for him again when she thought about how she had angered him to sickness a few days back.

“How are you going to shower and sleep when you don’t have a change of clothes?”

“I have some clothes in the car. I’ll have Rey bring it up!” Elliot said it as though he had come prepared.

Instantly, Anastasia thought she had fallen for his trap. This man had specially come to sleep over!

“Fine then! Have him bring it up for you!” She agreed to let him stay over in the end.

Elation immediately surged within Elliot’s fathomless gaze. “Okay.”

Soon, Rey came delivering Elliot’s clothes—there was a suit for the next day and a set of cotton pajamas. Sure enough, he had planned to come over from the very beginning.

With that, Anastasia went to tuck Jared in, leaving Elliot to shower and go to bed himself.

Jared had so much fun with the Lego set that he exhausted himself, falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. With that, Anastasia got out of bed to check if Elliot had also gone to bed.

However, the lights in the living room were still lit, and Elliot was slouched on the couch after his shower, watching TV in his black night robe.

“Why haven’t you gone to bed?” Anastasia asked as she hugged her arms, feeling chilly. It was already winter. Wouldn’t he catch a cold in such thin clothes?

Elliot reached his hand out to her in response. “Come here.”

Anastasia knew she’d surely be taken advantage of if she went to him.

Surprisingly, she didn’t reject him. Instead, she deliberately sat a little far away from him. At that, Elliot got up and sat right next to her before pulling the woman into his arms.

“Watch TV with me for a while, will you?” Elliot asked softly.

Anastasia couldn’t help but soften as she leaned against his chest while listening to his solid, unavoidable heartbeats.

Elliot turned his head to plant a kiss in her hair. What an amazing feeling it was to have her back in his arms again.

His broad chest gave her a strong sense of security, making it seem as though there was nothing she needed to be afraid of. When had she started liking this feeling!?

The couple watched the business channel together. Then again, it only suited someone like Elliot, for she began to nod off very quickly. What was more, she was very snug being in his arms.

Just like that, she closed her eyes before she knew it, and sleepiness creeped up on her. Soon after, she started breathing evenly.

At that, Elliot turned off the TV and carried her up.

However, Anastasia shot wide awake and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at him with somewhat amorous eyes. “Where are you taking me?”

“To sleep.”

“I’m sleeping with Jared.” She had no intentions of sleeping with him!

However, Elliot still carried her straight to the master bedroom. “Makes no difference.”

How could it be the same!? Anastasia’s drowsiness was immediately gone, and she made her way to the door as soon as Elliot put her down. However, he grabbed her immediately and pulled her into his arms, forcing her to face him.

Anastasia’s hair was let loose as a result, and her milky white velvet nightgown made her face innocent yet alluring. It surely would be the death of him.

Elliot gulped, looking as though he was trying his best to hold back something.

Anastasia caught the possessiveness in his eyes, and she immediately warned, “Don’t you d—” Just like that, he made her swallow the word ‘dare’.

Admittedly, Anastasia couldn’t say no to his kisses every time. It carried a strange yet tingling sensation, making her want more despite feeling abashed.

Suddenly, he let go of her and asked in a husky voice, “Do you want it?”

“No!” Anastasia denied her desire stubbornly, but deep down, she wanted to give it a go. She wanted to see if she could accept his approach. Not only that, she wanted to see if the trauma he evoked would come back.

She didn’t want the trauma from five years ago to haunt her for the rest of her life, for she wanted to experience the joy of being a woman too. However, she still pushed him away while saying, “It’s really late. You should turn in early.”

Jared’s still at home, for heaven’s sake!

Elliot was merely asking. After all, she had to want it herself. If she didn’t, he wouldn’t force her even though he was on the verge of exploding.

Anastasia scurried into Jared’s room, but she couldn’t stop thinking about Elliot, his kiss, his breath, and his gaze.

The following morning, Anastasia opened her bleary eyes to find a pair of angelic eyes staring at her.

“What is it?” She sat up and kissed her baby boy.

“Mommy, I’m going to be late for school,” Jared said solemnly.

“Huh? Isn’t today Saturday?”

“Nope. It’s only Friday!” Is Mommy dreaming?

Anastasia slapped her head at that. She had trouble sleeping the whole night, no thanks to Elliot. Right, Elliot! He had stayed over for the night. At that, she asked with a smile, “Is Mr. Presgrave around?”

“He is! He’s waiting for you in the living room.”
