Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 337

Chapter 337 A Bouquet of Roses

“Jared said he wants to bathe by himself,” Anastasia said to Elliot. Then, she asked, “Do you want some fruit?”

“Yes. Please,” he answered curtly.

Luckily, she had just bought some fresh cherries. Although they were expensive, she still bought them because she loved cherries.

After she washed a plateful of cherries, she placed them in front of Elliot. Since she had nothing else to do, she sat beside him and took a cherry to eat. Just as her red lips were about to bite the cherry, he turned sideways and held the back of her head with one hand before his lips domineeringly approached her to snatch the cherry from her mouth!

He snatched it. With. His. Tongue.

Anastasia couldn’t react; her mind went blank for a moment and her cheeks were heated. When she came back to her senses, he was gracefully chewing the cherry that should have been in her mouth.

“You—” She was so angry that she started to laugh. This man was so repulsive and he had been playing these ambiguous games with her since she had known him.

“It’s sweet. Just like you.” At this point, Elliot still had the heart to praise her.

To prevent the same thing from happening again, she moved to the side bit by bit and finally sat on the chaise lounge one meter away from him.

Now, Elliot had to reach for the cherries himself.

When Jared came out of the shower, Anastasia draped a thick coat on him to keep him warm. Meanwhile, Elliot glanced at the time and rose to his feet. “I should go,” he stated.

“Mr. Presgrave, see you tomorrow.” Jared waved at him.

“See you tomorrow,” Elliot said. Before stepping out of the door, he added, “Rest early.”

That night, Anastasia was still unable to sleep and remained awake until early morning. In the darkness, she gazed at the luster reflected by the diamonds on her bracelet that resembled a bright star in the gloomy night, shining on her heart and bringing her warmth.

Although it was late when she finally fell asleep, she slept peacefully and at ease.

It was freezing cold outside when Anastasia and Jared were out of the apartment early the next morning, making it feel that winter had already arrived. When they were halfway to the kindergarten, it even started to rain. On a busy morning, the whole city seemed crowded.
