Chapter 593
Elliot bent down and gently kissed the top of Anastasia’s head. “I’ll make you some food.”
Anastasia finally released him. As he got out of bed, she spotted the nail marks on his back that were frankly quite
ghastly, so she turned around guiltily.
It was probably… thanks to her.
At 12.30PM, Anastasia lazily pulled on a T-shirt and put her hair up in a simple bun before heading downstairs. Her
heart was filled with utter bliss when she saw her man making lunch for her.
Seeing as how he was still hustling about in the kitchen, she decided to head over and hug him from behind without
saying a word. She simply squished her face against his back and followed him around as he moved.
Elliot turned around and hugged her back before kissing her. “Let’s eat! I’m free today, so we can spend the whole
day together.”
“Shouldn’t we pick Jared up?” Anastasia blinked at him.
“Nigel canceled his business trip and Jared’s having a blast at his place, so he doesn’t want to come back just yet.
It’ll just be the two of us for the next three days.”

convince Jared to stay away somehow?
Elliot could tell what she was thinking. He chuckled and said, “It’s really Jared who doesn’t want to come back.”
Anastasia quirked her lips into a smile. Nigel did have a lot of cool games in his house, so it was rather likely that
Jared was reluctant to leave. She was about to move away, but something seemed to have gotten into Elliot as he
quickly bent down and caught her lips in his.
Their kisses grew heavier and heavier.
The cozy sunlight shone in through the tall glass windows and scattered all over the living room. Everything was well
with the world.
If there had not been a warm lunch waiting for them, Elliot might never have stopped kissing her.
After lunch, Elliot accompanied Anastasia on a walk. It was well and truly springtime now as the gentle breeze
carried the scent of grass, and the cerulean skies were clear without a speck of clouds. The entire world seemed to
come to life again.
At night, they headed to a nearby Dinner in the Sky restaurant. Elliot had made the arrangements in advance, and
they were the only customers in
the entire establishment.
The soft and melodic music gave the place an air of romance.
There was a blanket of stars overhead and a beautiful candlelit table in front of them. The air hung with the scent
of alcohol and fragrance from the flower decor. As for the man in front of her, he was breathtakingly handsome
and he was staring at her lovingly with his deep, soulful eyes.
The music seemed to be expressing a love that could not be described with mere words. The melody tugged at the
heart as it flitted cheerily from note
to note, and somehow, it seemed to fit the journey that they had taken in their path of love—from the day they first
met to the present where they finally could be in each other’s arms.
At 10.30PM, the couple went home and enjoyed a moment that was theirs alone. Anastasia bloomed like a brilliant
rose that captivated the heart and soul of Elliot, whose eyes never left her, not even for a single moment.
“Mr. Presgrave, you should shower first,” Anastasia said to him.
“My water bill this month went up too much. Let’s not waste water, hmm? Let’s shower together,” he suggested. In
one swift motion, he carried her into the bathroom.
She snorted to herself. Blaming the water bill, huh? I could always just pay this month’s water bill.

her presence.
In fact thanks to her, he had become the master of romance and quite an expert at setting the mood.
Three days later, Jared dragged his feet as he exited Nigel’s house, but when he saw that his mommy and daddy
had come to pick him up, he became an overeager puppy again.
Nigel stared wistfully at the family of three, but he recalled how much he enjoyed singlehood too, so he did not feel
too envious.
Late that night, Anastasia jostled awake from sleep. She had subconsciously tried to hug the man who was
supposed to be in bed beside her, but the spot was empty.
She opened her eyes and saw no sign of Elliot anywhere, but after giving it a moment’s thought, she figured out
where he went.
Anastasia climbed out of bed and went to Jared’s room, and true enough, she saw him sitting on the edge of Jared’s
bed for what seemed like eternity.
The warm light cast a shadow on him on the floor and made him look like a statue.
Anastasia felt a pang in her heart as she could empathize with how Elliot was feeling right now.
