    Chapter 485


    At this very moment, Anastasia received a text message on her cell phone. Reaching for her phone and


    ncing at it, she noticed that it was from Elliot, who was currently in the master bedroom.


    ‘Come to my room.


    When she strode toward his room and pushed open the door, Elliot was leaning against the headboard.


    “Sleep with me tonight,” he said as he patted the empty space next to him.


    Anastasia pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile. “No,” she refused.


    His eyes narrowed after hearing her refusal, and there was a warning looking from them. “I can’t


    sleep without you by my side,” he continued.


    She really didn’t know what to do with him. Just because he is hurt, doesn’t mean he can use it against


    me.


    Alright, alright. He is allowed to do so tonight. Dr. Palmer already said that he can’t mess around anyway.


    With that in mind, Anastasia walked to the other end of the bed, thereafter lifting the quilt and lying down.


    At that instant, Elliot began to loathe his huge bed after seeing Anastasia sleep so far away from him. His


    leg was already making it difficult for him to move around, yet she still slept so far away on purpose.

    “Come here,” he demanded in a deep voice.


    She turned sideways and looked at him with her beautiful ck and bright eyes. “I’m sleeping on your


    bed. What more do you want?” she asked with a slightly coquettish tone.


    Elliot could feel that she did it on purpose. When he was about to move his injured leg, however, she


    immediately stopped him. “Don’t move.”


    Heplied, but then he raised his head and ordered, “Come here then. Otherwise, I’ll move to your


    side.”


    Without a choice, Anastasia could only move to his side a little more and stop a few


    inches away from him. However, it wasn’t close enough for Elliot, so he stretched out his long arms and


    drew her closer as he murmured, “Sleep next to me.”


    In the end, she slept next to him. She shifted on her side and Elliot tugged her arm to wrap around his


    waist so she could hug him and sleep on the side of his uninjured leg.


    “I’m so sleepy.” Anastasia’s sleepiness deepened when she felt his body temperature.


    “Sleep, then.” Elliot patted her shoulder as if he was coaxing a child. In truth, she did feel coaxed.


    Before long, she closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms, as did Elliot.


    The night air was wet with heavy dew, but both their hearts were filled with warmth by being close


    together.


    On the same night, Erica took the initiative to go over Alex’s house. When Alex saw hering to his


    door and offering herself readily, he was unreserved and slept with her. But, once finished, he made up


    an excuse and left. In fact, Heyley had summoned him to apany her.


    Despite the fact that Hayley was aware Erica was staying at Alex’s house for the night, the former tried to


    prove her charm and snatch him from her side.


    Moreover, Alex also preferred to stay with Haley. She had an Anastasia-like face and was willing to


    swallow her pride in front of him. In contrast, Erica would periodically throw tantrums like a child, which


    irritated him.


    It was Christmas Eve the next day. Elliot met with the vice president of a wedding nner, and the


    company took over the engagement dinner extremely seriously and did not dare to be inattentive with the


    arrangements.


    At around 3 PM, both parties finally reached an agreement, and the details would be carried out after


    Christmas.


    As Anastasia stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor watching the personnel


    from the weddingpany leave, she took a deep breath and took out her phone to contact her father.


    Before she said anything, Francis asked her, “Hello, Anastasia. Will you bring Jared home for Christmas


    tomorrow?”


    On this day of reunion, every parent looked forward to their children returning


    home to be with them.


    “Dad. I’ll spend Christmas with Elliot’s family tomorrow. Also, I have something to inform you,” she said.


    “What’s the matter?” Francis inquired.


    “Me and Elliot are getting engaged two weeks after Christmas,” she stated.


    Francis was seemingly surprised at the other end. “Really? You are getting engaged? Well, that’s great!”


    he bubbled.


    “Dad, when the timees, could you please notify our rtives?” she requested.


    “Sure, I will inform them, but I won’t invite too many people. We are not too close with distant rtives,


    so I will only invite some close rtives to attend,” Francis said excitedly.


    “Sounds good,” Anastasia agreed.


    When Naomi went upstairs to the study after Francis hung up the phone, he couldn’t help but announce,


    “There is one piece of good news, Naomi. Anastasia is getting engaged!”


    “What? Who is she engaged to?” For a moment, Naomi did not know how to react.
