“I will. Thank you.” After saying that, she stepped on the accelerator and left.

Anastasia drove home all the way without making any stops. As she noticed it was already 2 PM, she wondered what Elliot and Jared were doing after lunch.

When she reached, the gate system automatically verified Elliot’s sports car and granted her entry. After she entered the password and walked into the hall, she could feel the absence of Elliot and Jared. However, just as Anastasia was about to head upstairs, she detected a burnt scent coming from the kitchen.

Shocked, she quickly put down her bag and dashed to the kitchen. However, the kitchen was clean and tidy, with some vegetables on the counter. She then noticed the burnt smell was coming from a cooking pot. Out of curiosity, she had a peek at it and she was both amused and moved.

Apparently, Elliot failed in cooking lunch for her son. Did he take Jared out to eat?

So, Anastasia took off her coat and started to clean up the kitchen. Every time she tidied up something, she could imagine Elliot working hard in the kitchen. As a pampered young master, it must have been difficult for him to learn how to cook.

After she was done cleaning the kitchen, she sat in the hall and started reading the documents she brought back from the company. Managing a construction company was indeed challenging for her, but she would not back down.

She went through those documents and before long, it was already a little after 3 PM. She began to feel drowsy and she could barely keep her eyes open. Eventually, she lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

Soon after, Elliot and Jared came home from lunch and he led Jared into the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, his sharp eyes spotted a sleeping Anastasia on the couch. Upon seeing that, he shushed Jared, who was standing beside him. Meanwhile, Jared got the hint and complied, staying silent.

It was winter now. Even if Anastasia was wearing a coat, she could still feel the cold. However, she was too tired to move. So, Elliot gestured to Jared, informing him that he was going to carry her upstairs to sleep.

While covering his mouth with his palm, Jared nodded with a grin. Then, he pointed upstairs, indicating that he would be spending time in the playroom.

Elliot nodded in response. After Jared went upstairs, Elliot sat beside Anastasia and felt her hands. It was cold to the touch.

Is she not afraid of catching a cold? Noticing the document that she was still holding in her hands, he could feel his lips curl up. Hmm. She is putting in a lot of effort. Then, he took the document from her hand, bent down and carried her in his arms.

Anastasia’s face naturally rested against his chest. As if knowing that he was back, she didn’t wake up and remained fast asleep.

As Elliot was carrying her upstairs, he originally thought of taking her back to her room. However, he changed his mind halfway through and headed to the main bedroom.

Sleeping on Elliot’s huge gray bed, Anastasia curled up into a comfortable position and continued to sleep.

Seemingly infected by her sleepiness, Elliot began to feel a little sleepy too. He then lay down beside her, arms supporting his face as he stared at her. She was breathing evenly, and the corners of her mouth were curved up slightly.

On the other hand, Anastasia was fast asleep and she had no idea her profile was greatly admired by Elliot.

His gaze gently traveled across her eyebrows and nose before settling on her slightly pursed red lips. The pink lips of hers exuded some kind of fatal attraction to him.

At first, Elliot was suppressing his desire, but because it was too hard to hold back, he gave in and leaned down, pecking her on her lips.

However, the soft touch made him want more.

Elliot’s kiss awakened Anastasia. Her eyelids fluttered slightly and her eyes widened in the next second.

His face was so close to hers that he seemed to be about to take things to the next stage at any moment.

With a smile, Anastasia couldn’t help but accuse him, “Do you consider yourself a gentleman if you take advantage of someone while they are sleeping?” Just as she was about to roll over and get out of bed, Elliot’s long-arm domineeringly seized her. “You are running away after telling me off?” he asked.

“You took advantage of me first. Why can’t I tell you off?” Her big bright eyes glowed, a cheeky look to them.

“Okay. If you truly want to argue over who is to blame for this, it’s you. It’s your fault that you look so alluring and seduced me.” Elliot’s ability to shirk responsibility was top-notch.

At that point, Anastasia was rendered speechless. She never knew that he could turn black into white with a few sentences.

“Alright, but it’s not my fault that I looked this way. The fault lies in that I shouldn’t have lingered at your house. I’ll pack up my things with Jared and leave in a while,” Anastasia retorted. She was nobody’s fool.

As expected, she could see a trace of panic flash in Elliot’s eyes. In the next second, he tightened his arm around her and ordered, “Don’t go.”

The smugness in Anastasia’s eyes increased as she heard him. “Then who is at fault now?” she asked.

“I was wrong.” He admitted honestly.

Suddenly, she felt pity for him. “Alright. I forgive you and I won’t hold you accountable.”

“Really?” After saying that, Elliot quickly sealed her red lips with a lingering and deep kiss, which made Anastasia unable to resist. In the end, she fell deep into it.

Elliot was a man who had such ability. Although he was domineering, she still willingly became his prey and even enjoyed it.

The kiss made the both of them pant. Glassy-eyed, Anastasia reached out and pushed him away as she said, “Stop messing around.”

“I know you want it too.” Elliot’s deep eyes were filled with suffering and restraint.

She knew that there was nothing she could hide from him. She did enjoy the intimate time with him, but it was also accompanied by trauma.

“I’m cooking tonight. Take it as a token of appreciation for the meal you cooked for Jared in the afternoon,” Anastasia said gratefully.

“It was unsuccessful,” Elliot replied in frustration.

“It’s okay. The fact that you’re putting effort into it is highly appreciated.” Anastasia smiled and added, “It’s Jared’s blessing.”

After hearing that, Elliot lowered his head and kissed her between the brows, then rubbed the tip of his nose against hers.

“Do we need to say thank you between us?” he stated.

As Anastasia had turned her face to the side in an attempt to shake her head, Elliot’s lips fell on her cheek. In return, she quickly cupped his face and kissed his cheek, as if to comfort this man who could only limit himself to kissing her.

“Well, it’s time for me to cook now,” she remarked.

She got up and left, and Elliot sighed as he lay on the bed. The heat and desire that had spread through his slender and sturdy body had no way to be unleashed.

…

At Tillman Residence, Erica was the only one that was paying for their expenditure after Hayley accompanied Erica shopping around. Since Erica wasn’t a generous person, Hayley could feel that the woman was a little upset.

On the way home, Erica turned her head and asked tentatively, “Hayley, I’m going to meet my boyfriend tonight. Do you want to go home now?”

Hayley curved a smile and replied, “Sure. Just drop me off here. I’ll get a taxi later.”

“I’m sorry. Next time I’ll treat you to dinner,” Erica apologized. She had spent over ten thousand and even paid for the bag that Hayley chose today.

“It’s okay. See you later.” For the time being, Hayley didn’t want to lose Erica as her friend.

As she watched Erica’s car leave, Hayley’s eyes flashed with mockery. If Erica knew that Hayley had lost everything, the former would not have been so patient with her.

The mockery in her eyes turned sinister, and Hayley took out her phone and dialed Alex’s number.

“Hello? Miss Seymour?” Alex was a little surprised when he received her call.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Hunter. Have I disturbed you?” she asked innocently.

“Oh—not at all. Is something wrong?” he replied.

“Thing is, I have an interview tomorrow at a company and I would like to ask you for some professional advice about accounting,” Hayley explained.

“Really? I can help you with this. Do you want to talk on the phone?” Alex asked.
