Chapter 328 Mommy Is in a Good Mood
Anastasia started to shove Elliot away out of guilt, which left Elliot with no choice but to release his grip on her.
She immediately turned to hide from him. Only God knew about the thoughts that she had about Elliot and Aliona for the past 2 days and if Elliot was a mind reader, Anastasia would definitely die from embarrassment if he was a mind reader.
She didn’t even want to think about how she cried and wailed like an abandoned wife in the middle of the night because of him.
Still, thinking that it was better for her to explain herself so that Elliot would not misunderstand the relationship she had with Alex, Anastasia started, “I didn’t pick up your call because I put it on silent mode before my dad dragged me to the board meeting. Dad and I went to the construction site in the afternoon without our car. I was almost late picking up Jared, and so I asked Mr. Hunter to send me over.”
After hearing the rather normal explanation, Elliot let out a satisfied smile, and he haughtily snaked his arms around her waist from behind. Then, he started coaxing her in a voice that was thick from sleep. “It was my fault. Can you please forgive me?”
Since she did not want to get intimate with him so soon, she subconsciously tried to pry his hands away. However, not only did she not succeed at moving him away, his hold on her had only tightened as he even rested his chin on her shoulder. “Can I tell you a secret?” he asked suddenly.
Anastasia’s eyebrows were knitted together as she inquired, “What is it?”
“The car that you entered was my car. The person who brought you to this hotel was me. And the person who changed you into a bathrobe was also me.”
She could feel her last string of sanity snap after he said those words. She had already guessed that he was the culprit behind everything that had happened up until now.
“Let me go! What did you do to me?” The blood had rushed up to her cheeks and to the tip of her ears. She was planning to let him off the hook for making her angry, but he even went as far as to see her with nothing on!
Elliot chuckled upon seeing her reaction. “Don’t worry,” he reassured her. “I am a man of integrity.”
“You are a prick!” Anastasia retorted.
Deciding not to piss her off any further, he sighed provocatively next to her ear. “I better take a cold shower to calm a certain body part of mine down after you held me for the entire night.”
She instantly understood his words, and she stayed frozen in the same spot.
The man then walked toward the bathroom while she went to sit on the balcony sofa.
Her mind was still a little fuzzy in addition to her headache, but at least she finally had an answer for something on her mind.
