Chapter 200
“Nigel, stop fooling around now and go to sleep! I really am going to hang up now.” Saying that,
Anastasia rushed over to snatch her phone back.
However, Elliot did not want to give it back.
Anastasia did not dare get too loud, as it would be hard to explain if Nigel found out that another man
was at her house. It would definitely damage her reputation.
“I don’t want to. Quick, just one song. I’m waiting for you!” Obviously, they could hear that Nigel had
turned over and was waiting patiently.
Seeing how high Elliot’s hand was, Anastasia jumped in order to reach her phone but the very next
second, she found her waist suddenly hugged by an arm, as the man pressed her against the balcony
and accurately kissed her while still raising his other hand.
Anastasia’s mind went blank and she was humiliated to the extreme. Is he doing this on purpose?
“Anastasia, sing for me. Humor this big baby to sleep!” Nigel was still begging on the other end of the
line.
This almost drove her crazy. How can I do that? I’m being kissed by this b*stard of a man right now!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAn idea suddenly came to her in the heat of the moment and she circled her arms around Elliot’s neck,
pretending to immerse herself in the kiss. Seeing his hand slowly lowering as expected, Anastasia
quickly snatched her phone back and went to the side, slightly panting.
“Nigel, just go to sleep. I’ll hang up now!” Anastasia shouted down the line before she ended the call.
After that, she stared at the evil man. “Was that fun?”
To this, Elliot only innocently replied, “I was just agitated.”
“You…” Not wanting to bother with him any longer, Anastasia would have chased him out of the house if
it weren’t for her father’s problems needing Elliot’s help.
If. Nigel knew that Anastasia was actually being kissed for a good ten seconds while they were on the
phone, he would have most likely lost his mind, because that meant that he would’ve lost to his
shameless cousin.
After taking her important belongings out of her room, Anastasia said to the man who was sitting on the
sofa before going to sleep in her son’s room, “You should go to bed earlier. And do not disturb me while
I’m sleeping.”
“But you haven’t even bathed yet!” Elliot raised his eyebrows at that.
“Whether I bathe or not is none of your business.” As Anastasia did not want to chance the man doing
something despicable, she was content to scroll through her phone in her son’s room. After all, she
wouldn’t stink to high heaven just from not showering a day.
That night, Elliot got his wish of sleeping on her bed again.
The next morning, Anastasia opened her eyes dazedly. It was only then that she realized she had been
sleeping in her son’s room and remembered that her room was being used by Elliot.
Opening the door, she saw that it was only 7AM. Since it was a Saturday, Anastasia did not think that
Elliot would be up, so she stretched while walking to the balcony, seeing as today was a day where she
could actually relax.
On the weekend, the city had a relaxed feeling to it, as the quiet streets did not have the usual hustle and
bustle of the morning traffic.
Pouring a cup of water for herself, Anastasia thought about what to have for breakfast, and when she
should go pick up her son.
Just then, the sound of the main door suddenly being opened surprised her, and she turned around to
find Elliot coming back with breakfast in his hands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You… were up already?” A stunned Anastasia looked at the man.
“I’m an early bird by habit.” Setting down the breakfast on the table, Elliot then said, “Come and eat!”
Looking at him, she was a bit surprised, thinking that successful men really do have a firm grip on their
time and that he actually did not sleep in.
While Anastasia sat down and ate with him, Elliot elegantly held a piece of bread while saying
nonchalantly, “I can accompany you to pick Jared up later.”
Immediately, she rejected his notion by waving her hand. “There’s no need for that. I’ll go by myself.”
“Are you afraid of Nigel seeing us together?” Elliot asked while peering at her.
For reasons unbeknownst to herself, Anastasia just did not want anybody to know how close she was
with Elliot.
“By the way, President Presgrave, you are going to keep the promise of helping my father out, right?”
Changing the subject, Anastasia thought that since she had already let Elliot sleep on her bed, he had
better honor his promise.
“Of course I will.” Smiling, Elliot continued, “Whatever promises I make to you, I will always honor them.”
Unable to look into his charismatic eyes, Anastasia could only look down and continue to munch on her
bread. “Thank you.”
