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 exin 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 urately kissed her while still raising his other hand.


    Anastasia’s mind went nk 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!


    An 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 rx.


    On the weekend, the city had a rxed 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 Ellioting back with breakfast in his hands.


    “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 sessful 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


    nonchntly, “I can apany you to pick Jared upter.”


    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.”
