Chapter 197


    “Anastasia, is there any meaning to you avoiding your feelings like this? Just say that you care


    about me and that you like me. It’s not like I’ll make a joke out of this.” Elliot stared at her small face,


    his gaze full of love.


    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 stilling 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 ce had be somewhere the man could let out his


    desires, with the kisssting 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,


    nning on pping 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.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    In the end, the hand that was raised mid-way did notnd 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 sumb 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 be quite hard to exin 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 shed 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 shed 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?!”
