“Anastasia, did you think that I was going to kiss Hayley?” Elliot asked, wanting to know her real

thoughts.

Becoming distant as soon as she heard the name ‘Hayley’ or anything to do with the woman, Anastasia

smirked in response. “Whether you two kiss or not is your business.”

Meanwhile, Elliot did not want Anastasia to get off scot free for her behavior this afternoon, so he

ressed, “Then could you explain why you clocked off work early, ignoring my calls and prepared all this

spicy food to prank me? Is it because you are jealous?”

Stunned by his words, Anastasia then laughed. “Was I? The reason why I got off work early was

because I thought the both of you were going on a date together, so I came in advance to pick Jared

up. I didn’t pick up your calls because I didn’t hear my phone go off, and the reason why the table today

was full of spicy food was because I was in the mood for something spicy. President Presgrave, you’re

overthinking all this!”

Upon hearing that, the man was struck speechless.

Not wishing to continue this conversation any longer, Anastasia, who only realized that it was fast

approaching 9 PM after looking at the clock, could only chase him out. “President Presgrave, it’s

getting quite late now, so you should really leave.”

However, Elliot hinted that he wanted to stay for a bit longer and he murmured, “But I just took my

meds, so I can’t drive for the time being. I’m afraid that I might feel sleepy behind the wheel.”

“How about letting Rey come to pick you up? Or any of your bodyguards or assistants for that matter,”

Anastasia muttered as she knew that Elliot had loads of people that could help him out.

“Can’t I even rest for a while longer after landing in such a state by your hands?” he grumbled.

His words made Anastasia’s face flush. And so, she could only reply in resignation, “Alright, then. Take

a rest here. I’ll go bathe Jared and tuck him in now.”

“Just go do what you have to. I’ll be here.” With that, Elliot then gave her the cup again. “I’ll have to

trouble you again for another cup of water.”

Standing up, she then went to pour some water for him before seeking Jared out and giving him a bath.

The child, who was oblivious as to what happened outside his room, was elated upon seeing Elliot still

around. “Mr. Presgrave, are you sleeping over at my home today?”

“Of course not! He’s just a bit tired and is just resting for a short while,” Anastasia explained to her son.

In the end, Jared grunted forlornly and went to the bathroom with a disappointed expression.

After more than ten minutes of giving Jared a bath, Anastasia then led him to his bed. On the way to

his room, the boy said goodnight to Elliot.

As Jared had a rather fixed lifestyle, he fell asleep in no time. Covering him with a blanket, Anastasia

discovered that the man on the sofa was gone after she came out.

Did he leave already?

She was quite happy, as this meant that she could finally take a shower and rest. In all honesty, she

was a bit uncomfortable with his presence.

However, when she started to tidy up the living room, she suddenly found Elliot’s car keys still on the

table.

Did he accidentally leave it here? She also found his phone lying on the sofa, and this led her to doubt

if she had bought the wrong medicine, making him so dazed that he actually forgot about his car keys

and phone.

Did he leave everything here?

In a hurry, she looked at the box and noted that it was indeed medicine for treating stomach pains.

At that, a thought flashed across her mind. Looking at the door to her room, she then quickly stood up

and entered her room. The sight that greeted her blew her mind.

Currently, she was looking at Elliot lying on his side on her bed, sleeping soundly.

Walking up to the man, she could only observe him. At that moment, he was breathing rhythmically and

his expression was calm, suggesting that he really was asleep.

“Elliot, wake up. Sleep at your own home.” Reaching out, Anastasia pushed his arm.

Seeing him not wake up, she impulsively reached out two fingers to test his breathing. It was very

stable and natural, and it turned out that he really was asleep.

She had remembered the pharmacist saying that this kind of medicine would make people drowsy after

they took it. Is it really that effective?

Sighing, Anastasia was at a loss on what to do next. Should I just let him use the bed, or should I

chase him out?

She witnessed how greatly Elliot was acting up because of his stomach pains, so it would seem

heartless of her if she were to chase him out now. However, where would she sleep if she continued to

let him be?
