Chapter 114

Did he not send me home? Did he bring me to his house instead?Anastasia immediately checked herself to make sure that her clotheswere still on. It didn’t seem like it had been taken off, either. She hastilygot off the bed to replace that her shoes were gone, so she had no choicebut to walk barefoot on the clean ground.

She glanced at the clock beside the bed to see that it was nearly4.30AM. The skies were still dark outside. Did this man just get me tosleep in his house? What about my son? Is my dad at home with Jared?Anastasia quietly walked down the stairs. There were wall lights thatsurrounded the whole villa, so it made her feel like she was a lostprincess that was walking around in a grand, luxurious castle.

Finally, she found her bag on the couch downstairs. She immediatelychecked her phone to see the text that she had sent her father and herfather's reply. Phew. At least Elliot knew to tell my dad to take care ofJared. Anastasia fixed her messy hair as she thought, I have no choicebut to stay here since it's now the middle of the night. Hmm... Theroom I was in earlier seemed like the master bedroom. Then where didElliot sleep?

She figured that she would tour his house since he was asleep. Whenshe went up to the second floor, she suddenly realized that there was aroom with its lights turned on. She wanted to ask him why he broughther home, so she quietly turned the doorknob to push the door open.She found herself in a study room, where a man was sleeping on thecouch with his head resting on his arm.

Anastasia froze. Is he actually sleeping on the couch? On top of that...He's just wearing sweatpants. She was so shocked that her handslipped off the doorknob. A loud bang sounded as the door movedback and hit against the door stopper. She immediately slapped herhand over her mouth-a comical gesture considering that it didn't serveany purpose.

The man’s thick lashes fluttered before he opened his eyes. Eventhough he had been awakened from his sleep, he had the samemesmerizing look in his eyes. He curled his lips into a smirk as he staredat the woman by the door while sitting upright. “Are you awake?” Henarrowed his eyes as he smiled.

She felt rather bad for waking him up, but she proceeded with thequestion she had for him. “Why did you bring me to your place? Youshould've sent me home.”

“Do you have any idea how bad you look when you're drunk? Whatwould Jared think if he saw his mother getting drunk like that?” Hedidn't bother to sugarcoat his words. She immediately knitted herbrows into a frown. Did I go crazy after getting drunk? Fine. I guess Iagree with what he said. It's true that my son shouldn't see me like that.She tugged on the door to close it as she spoke to Elliot. “You cancontinue sleeping! I won't disturb you anymore.” Then, she shut thedoor before walking down the corridor. She was going to wait in thehall until sunrise.

Since she woke him up, Elliot no longer felt like sleeping. He returnedto his room and washed up before putting on some clothes andwalking over to the hall. Anastasia had gone to the fridge to get herselfa drink, and she was just feeling rather creeped out by the large hallwhen she heard footsteps coming from behind. She instantly spun herhead around to replace the man with one hand stuck into his pocket. Hestrolled over with a lazy look on his face.

“Aren't you going to sleep?” she asked while looking at him.

“I can't sleep anymore,” he replied flatly. Then, he walked over to thefridge to grab himself a bottle of beer. He sipped on it as he walkedback to her. She felt nauseous just at the sight of alcohol. “Why are youdrinking in the middle of the night? It's not good for your stomach,”she uttered in a confused tone.

“Do you care about me that much?” He sat on the couch beside herand gave her a faint smile.

“I don't care about you; I'm caring about myself. I'm afraid that youmight get horny after you're drunk.” Anastasia didn't bother to be niceto him either. The man had a history of doing such things, after all.

He let out a scoff as he couldn't believe what the woman just saidabout him. “Are you that confident about my interest in you?” He puton an offended expression.
