Chapter 696

Moreover, her father had been keen to seek Elliot’s assistance, which was why he allowed his beautiful
daughter to be at his side as it was the easiest and most direct thing to do.

Anastasia lifted the teacup off the table as her stunning eyes narrowed slightly while she needed to
give Lorelai a proper warning. She would not, in any way, tolerate another woman interfering in her
relationship with her husband, who was not just the father of her son but also her husband.

When it came to protecting her marriage, Anastasia would never be lenient. Anyone who tried to
meddle with her marriage would be held accountable for their actions.

At night, she was so tired that she fell asleep in her man’s arms. Her hair was messy and Elliot kissed
her face, which was still red. The woman’s delicate oval face in his arms appeared weary in the faint
light.

He couldn’t help but smile since this was his accomplishment and he had every reason to be pleased
with himself.

Lorelai was unable to sleep in her apartment. She hung Elliot’s suit on the rack in front of the bed. The
unironed clothing remained smooth and wrinkle free. In her mind’s eye, she could see him donning this
outfit, which complemented his good physique.

She stood up in her pajamas and had a seductive aura as she pulled the suit from the rack, held it in
her arms to return to bed, after which she sniffed the man’s scent on the suit and moaned softly.

She longed for the day when the owner of this outfit would come and lie next to her, embrace her, and
fall asleep.

“Do you realise how much I like you, Elliot?” Her eyes were welling up with tears, as though she was
grieving.



In the early morning, Anastasia got up to check on her son and saw that Jared was already clad in a
school uniform, giving the impression that he was well prepared for his day at school.

“Mommy.” He affectionately extended his hands for a hug..

She kissed his little head and sniffed it once more. Perhaps all mothers found it comforting to smell the
scent of their own child.

“You smell wonderful, Mommy!” He sniffed her like a puppy, after which she carried him into her arms
and replied, “Brush your teeth and wash your face!”

Elliot had already dressed up; a white shirt was always his favourite outfit and it made him relaxed
whenever it was matched with a pair of suit pants.

While their kid was inside the restroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, Elliot took advantage of
the opportunity to embrace his wife and look at her attire for the day in a way that indicated he was
examining it.

He also firmly buttoned the second button on her shirt, which she had purposefully left undone when
she dressed in the morning. Then, he commanded her in a low voice that sounded envious, “Don’t
unbutton it.”

“Can’t I unbutton it even if it’s hot?” Anastasia chuckled.

“Then, lower the temperature of the air conditioner.” Elliot simply did not want anybody else to see her
assets and added, “I’ll send my son to school, head to the summit, and ask Adriana to drive you to the
company.”

“Okay! Go ahead!” She nodded.



Jared followed his father out the door as Anastasia observed their car drive away. She checked the
time, produced her phone and dialled Lorelai’s number.

Lorelai was also about to head out. When she heard the phone ring, she grabbed it and looked at it.
“Hello, Anastasia,” she answered with apprehension.

“Lorelai, are you okay?! Elliot mentioned last night that you were harassed by foreign guests.”
Anastasia asked out of concern.

“Uh! I’m alright; thankfully, he helped me out,” Lorelai hastily responded.

“That’s what Elliot should do as long as you’re alright.”

“I’m fine, thank you,” she replied with a smile.

“Are you available at noon? Let’s have a meal!” Anastasia asked her.

“Sure! After all, I need to return Elliot’s suit to you,” Lorelai answered

Anastasia grinned as she hung up the phone. “All right, let’s meet at noon.”

She didn’t want Lorelai to use the suit as an excuse, so she went out of her way to request that it be
returned.

Lorelai heaved a sigh of relief as she looked at the suit that she had held all night. She was actually
hesitant to return it and even pondered taking the suit back to Elliot one day since it could be
considered as an opportunity to meet the man.

She was suddenly acutely aware that Anastasia was keeping a watchful eye on her. She thought that
all of her thoughts were very well suppressed, but she couldn’t escape from Anastasia’s observant
eyes.
