Anastasia didn’t have the habit of visiting relatives during Christmas. Instead, she enjoyed quality time with her son.
She read a book, occasionally played Lego with Jared, and enjoyed a cup of joe for the afternoon.
Elliot was not in the villa and was busy as his status attracted many invitations for events and dinners.
However, she was still worried about his leg injury. At that point, she suspected he was a robot as he refused to use a crutch and walked around like it was nothing.
The wedding planner was decorating the venue. Although it was just an engagement party, Elliot was determined to do it right and paid a large sum.
In the evening, a slightly tipsy Elliot returned. Benedict also came along with him to examine his injury.
“Now, you just have to minimize attending gatherings and not drink any alcohol. Or else, you can kiss your legs goodbye,” Benedict reminded him while reapplying the medicine..
Anastasia sat beside them and sided with
Benedict. “Did you hear that? Treat your
injury seriously
Elliot smiled as he was told off by them.
“Yeah, I heard you, I will rest until my
legs are healed.”
After Benedict left, Anastasia ordered Elliot to never ever leave the sofa. She would get him anything he requested.
As a result, Elliot took advantage of it. He
requested a lot of hugs, kisses, and more
to satisfy his desire.
When Anastasia turned around to get him a book, he took the chance to pull her into his arms and kept her there.
She tried to struggle but it was to no avail. so she could only let him enjoy the hug. He was only mad at his useless legs, as he could do more things to her if the legs were intact.
They didn’t leave the villa until New Year. The wedding planner visited them a few times a day to confirm the details for the engagement party. Elliot let Anastasia
choose the party’s theme, color palette, and flower arrangement, so she took the job seriously.
They had already sent the party invitation cards to the Presgraves. All that was left was to wait for the day itself to let the Young Master of the Presgrave Family officially announce the engagement.
