Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1892

Chapter 1892 Shortly after, they pulled up at the restaurant Jared often visited in the sports car. There, Ellen gave him a once-over under the bright light. He had faint dark circles under his eyes like he hadn’t slept in ages.

Jared was glued to his phone, sorting through work emails. Even without looking up, he could tell she was staring at him. But under her gentle gaze, he felt at ease and felt no awkwardness from her checking him out.

After a moment, he finally lifted his head to look at her. He could tell she was a bit shy, which he found pretty cute. “So, what’s on the agenda for tomorrow?” he asked.

“I’m probably going to my uncle’s house for his birthday.” “What time?”

“It’ll probably be noon because other relatives will go over too.” Ellen shrugged; she wasn’t too sure. “Got it. You’re mine for the night then,” Jared stated with some dominance.

Ellen blushed at his words. That sounded suggestive. What exactly did he mean by that? All night long?

“What do you want to do tomorrow night?” she asked, curious. “I just want to kick back and relax. Also, I want you there with me,” Jared said with a directness that caught Ellen off guard.

Ellen blinked, thinking about the last time they watched the moon together on the beach. She nodded and replied, “All right, just hit me up with the details tomorrow night.”

After dinner, Jared didn’t rush to drop her off at home. Instead, they cruised around town at a leisurely pace, soaking in the music and city lights.

Ellen was loving the moment. She wasn’t after anything in particular, and she just wanted to be near him. If only time could just freeze like this.

Around 9.30PM, Jared parked his car at the entrance to Ellen’s residential area. Suddenly, he asked, “Do you have a guest room at your place?”

Ellen nodded. “Yeah, I do.” “I’m tired. Mind if I crash at your place for a bit?” Jared said before hopping out of the car.

Ellen got out too and looked at him, a bit concerned. She nodded and replied, “Sure. Just take a rest and then head out when you’re ready.”
