Chapter 754

“Have a good rest back home. You must be really tired,” Benedict expressed his concern.

“Okay. I‘ll leave things here in your hands, then.” At this point, it was already 5.00AM and all Elliot wanted was to leave and head home.

The night summer breeze was quite cooling and a dark–colored SUV made its way through the gates of a posh villa. Elliot tried his best to not make a

sound as he held his coat in his hands and walked up the stairs. He decided not to enter the master bedroom, so he went into a guest room to take a

rest to avoid disturbing Anastasia.

However, as soon as he got to the living area on the second floor, he noticed a slender figure asleep with her cheeks against a pillow under the dim

lights. She seemed to be maintaining a waiting posture but ended up falling asleep.

At that sight, Elliot felt a pang in his heart as he gently placed down his coat and made his way toward her side. He covered her body with the blanket

that had slid off to the ground and he was slightly distressed as he touched her cold arm.

It was then that Anastasia was jolted awake by his gentle gesture and she opened her eyes wide. As soon as she saw that it was the person she had

been longing to see, she stretched out her arms in surprise and hugged him.

“You‘re finally back.”

He squatted down and looked at her slightly chidingly, “Why didn‘t you sleep in the room? You‘ll catch a cold out here.”

Upon knowing that there was a chance that he could be back tonight, she was unable to go to sleep at
ease. She had merely fallen asleep less than an hour ago. so she was not afraid of catching a cold.
She was very concerned about not getting to know firsthand that he had arrived home.

Anastasia‘s pretty eyes landed on his slightly unshaven face, which somehow still looked handsome. It
looks like he had been running around tirelessly abroad for the past few days.

“Go back to the room and take a shower. Your eyes are bloodshot.” Anastasia reached out and helped
him toward the direction of the master bedroom.



Though Elliot did not feel tired at all, he did not mind doing anything she said as long as his actions put
her at ease.

“Lorelai has just undergone surgery and I‘ve destroyed everything, so there‘s no need for you to worry,”
he explained to her in a low voice.

Having heard that, Anastasia heaved a tiny sigh. She was upset that Lorelai and her family had
resorted to such a despicable way to plot against her. In the future, she would not let that family have
an easy life.

As for Elliot, he went to take a shower and had a shave. He took slightly longer to shower because he
had taken some lives when he was abroad. He was worried that there would be residue of the stench
of blood on him, so he made sure to clean himself up well.

His team had dealt with the incident abroad well and there was no longer anything to worry about

Anastasia lay on the soft bed and glanced in the direction of the bathroom as she waited patiently for
her husband to come out.

Ten minutes later, she saw him exiting with a wrapped towel around his waist and she did not mask her
perusing look at all as she admired his strapping figure. His dark hair was slightly tousled and he
exuded an air of gentle homeliness.

He uncovered the blanket and slid into bed before reaching out to pull her into his. arms to get some
sleep.

“Let‘s get a good sleep.” Elliot planted a kiss on her hair.

Anastasia had her skin against his and she smelled the scent of shower gel on him. His scent seemed
to have a hypnotizing effect and in no time at all, she fell asleep in his arms.



He had his cheeks pressed against her forehead and he could finally be at ease as he shut his eyes
and slept.

At around 8.00AM, Elliot woke up and went into Jared‘s room. He looked at the little guy‘s adorable
figure in bed before revealing a content smile as he studied Jared while sitting by the side of the bed.

It was coincidentally the time for Jared to wake up as well. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw
Elliot and leaped up joyfully. “Daddy!”

Elliot reached out to take Jared into his arms and took a whiff of the slightly milky scent from Jared‘s
adorable body. Subsequently, Elliot lifted Jared. “Did you miss me while I was gone?”

“Of course, I did!” Jared nodded solemnly.

Elliot planted a kiss on Jared‘s forehead before rubbing his head against the little man‘s forehead. The
affectionate feelings the father and son duo had for each other were clearly felt in the room.

For Elliot, despite the amount of bloodshed he experienced outside, his soul seemed to be rejuvenated
by the familial warmth he experienced once he reached home Everything that he did was mainly to give
his beloved ones a peaceful, safe life

At the apartment, Sophia hazily heard the sound of her phone ringing, prompting her to grasp her
phone and answered the call in a dazed state. “Hello, Sophia speaking.”

“Sophia, open the door for me in a short while. I‘ve gone to do some grocery shopping for you and I‘ll
cook a meal for you.”
