Finally, Elliot let go of his wife, only to see her blushing and panting in his arms. She pressed her head against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and at sense of peace arose in her heart.
“How about you get some rest now? Lunch will be ready soon. If I accidentally starve my two babies, I will feel distressed,” he said with a satisfied smile.
Anastasia obediently left the kitchen and waited for lunch to be served after hearing his suggestion. Soon enough, he came out with her favorite lunch and accompanied her to eat.

“Mrs. Presgrave!” Elliot angrily interrupted her as soon as he heard the name “Mason”. In his wife’s mind, Mason was a conscientious subordinate, but he knew well that Mason’s efforts stemmed from his unrequited love for his wife.
Anastasia blinked her beautiful eyes and saw her husband was so irate that he even it down the spoon. She hurriedly went put over to his side, sat on his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She coaxed him gently, ‘Alright, I won’t treat him. I will just give him a bonus.”
Only then did Elliot realize he was being too petty; of course, he knew that his wife only loved him, but the name “Mason” had subconsciously triggered his jealousy. “Okay. How about we invite him to a meal together?” As he stroked her hair, his gaze softened a little.
Anastasia could not help but snort when she heard that.
