Anastasia was stunned momentarily and she was about to react when his other hand held onto her jaw and he forcefully kissed her.
Wide-eyed, Anastasia grunted in surprise. Is this man trying to take advantage of me again?Why do I not watch out for things like this more? I can’t seem to escape the fate of getting forcefully kissed every time by him. Gosh!
The smell of alcohol still coming from him made her feel faint, and his powerful kiss was like him trying to imprint himself onto her.
Without her son at home, the whole place had become somewhere the man could let out his desires, with the kiss lasting till Elliot thought it was enough. Panting, he then finally let her go because if they were to continue, he would be the one that would suffer.
Anastasia wasn’t better off either as she was panting with a flushed face. She raised her hand, planning on slapping him. However, just as she was about to do it, she stared angrily into his lovestruck eyes.
His deep stare reflected her face clearly and for some reason, she could actually see the love in his gaze.
“Anastasia, I like you.” From the man’s hoarse voice came a confession.
In the end, the hand that was raised mid-way did not land on his handsome face, and she put it away stiffly.
“Don’t have it in your heart to hit me anymore?” Elliot smiled slyly.
“Elliot, I don’t like you,” Anastasia replied loudly as she stared at him wide-eyed.
His expression darken upon hearing this. “Is it that I’ve not done enough, or is it that I’ve somehow made you angry?”
“Taking advantage of me while forcing me to like you? Do you think that I would ever like you under such circumstances?” Anastasia sneered. Is he really that conpdent that every woman he meets will fall in love with him at the very first sight?
Yet, Elliot did not let go of her and still pinned her down in a suggestive way. He tried to control himself, but his gentle gaze held a hint of desire and possessiveness.
Just like that, he kept staring and attacking her with his gaze.
In the end, Anastasia, who could no longer look him in the eye, started to panic. And so, she reached out to try to push him away. “Get up, Elliot.”
It was as if there was a strong magic in his stare and one would succumb to his charms if one looked into his gaze for too long. Even though Anastasia was staring at him angrily, Elliot still would not get up, instead staring back at her with eyes full of desire.
Struggling in vain, Anastasia felt the heat, as well as the danger radiating off the man, making her panic for real.
“Elliot, I’m going to count to three now…”
“Do you think I’m your son? Do you think I can be threatened like this?” Smirking, Elliot dismissed her threats with just that sentence.
This made Anastasia speechless.
He really is a devil in disguise!
“If you don’t get up now, I’ll call the cops.”
“It was you who brought me into your home of your own volition. And with me being your boss and you being my employee, things would become quite hard to explain at the police station.” Smirking even more, Elliot continued, “What do you think they will believe? You seducing me? Or me seducing you?”
Although the man was arguing against her right now, he had a loving smile, making Anastasia itch to hit him in the face.
Probably because he had teased her enough and didn’t actually want to make her mad, Elliot suddenly leaned over and gave her a peck on the lips. “Anastasia, please try and open up your heart to me. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”
Hope flashed in his eyes and he pleaded at her with a hoarse voice. For people who were born with a golden spoon like Elliot, it was rare for him to plead with someone.
Finally, the man got up, leaving Anastasia stunned for a few seconds before sitting up. Then, she proceeded to open the entrance door without any hesitation. “You’d
better leave. I don’t want you staying any further.”
Suddenly, pain flashed across Elliot’s eyes, and he clutched his stomach as cold sweat covered his forehead. Thereafter, he stumbled and crashed onto the sofa.
Meanwhile, an icy Anastasia was about to send him away. However, seeing him like this made her close the door and rush over to his side in the blink of an eye. “What’s wrong?!”
“My stomach hurts… Do you have anything to eat at home?” Elliot raised his head and asked. After drinking so much alcohol tonight, his stomach, which has always sustained itself on high grade whole foods, naturally could not take it.
“Wait here. I’ll cook some noodles for you.” With that, Anastasia then went to the kitchen.
Sitting on the sofa, he smiled warmly as he watched the person in the kitchen busying herself.
No matter what she said, she still cared about him. It was just that she did not want to admit it.
After ten minutes, Anastasia came out holding a bowl of noodles, of which the noodles were of low sodium. Normally, she would cook this for her son, but she now used it all to feed the man.
Walking over, Elliot ate it without hesitation. Looking at the man under the light, it was even more evident that Jared’s face resembled his.
Wait! What nonsense am I thinking about? They just have similar looking features, that’s all.
While Elliot was eating the noodles, Anastasia went to clean up her room. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat upon discovering that it was already 9 PM. Goodness! I haven’t even picked up my son yet!
“Elliot, you’ll have to leave after eating. I need to go pick Jared up,” urged Anastasia.
“I can let Rey go pick him up. It’s not safe for you, going out alone late at night,” Elliot immediately replied.
“Isn’t Rey’s father hospitalized?”
Upon realizing that fact, Elliot paused for a few seconds before stating, “I’ll let my bodyguard pick him up.”
Just then, Anastasia’s phone rang. Nigel’s calling me? Picking it up, she said, “Hello, Nigel. I’ll come pick Jared up now.”
“There’s no need for that. The little rascal has already fallen asleep here. Just let him stay over at my place.” On the other end of the line, Nigel laughed, obviously happy
to have the boy accompany him.
“What? Jared’s already asleep? I’d hate to burden you, though.”
“It’s nothing. Just let me try to be his father and sleep with him for one night!” Truth was, this was exactly what Nigel wanted.
It was after a long while until Anastasia finally agreed. “A-Alright then. I’ll let Jared sleepover just for tonight. I’ll pick him up first thing tomorrow morning.”
“Sure. Are you done with work? Are you outside or at home right now?”
“I’m at home.”
“Hey, Anastasia, I found out that Jared really looks like me, and his face resembles mine exactly when I was young. Say, don’t you think this is some special fate between him and I?” Nigel started to hint at her again.
Interesting, can’t wait for the truth
