Chapter 197

“Anastasia, is there any meaning to you avoiding your feelings like this?Just say that you care about me and that you like me. It's not like I'llmake a joke out of this.” Elliot stared at her small face, his gaze full oflove.

Anastasia was stunned momentarily and she was about to react whenhis other hand held onto her jaw and he forcefully kissed her.Wide-eyed, Anastasia grunted in surprise. Is this man trying to takeadvantage of me again?Why do I not watch out for things like thismore? I can't seem to escape the fate of getting forcefully kissed everytime by him. Gosh!

The smell of alcohol still coming from him made her feel faint, and hispowerful kiss was like him trying to imprint himself onto her.

Without her son at home, the whole place had become somewhere theman could let out his desires, with the kiss lasting till Elliot thought itwas enough. Panting, he then finally let her go because if they were tocontinue, he would be the one that would suffer.

Anastasia wasn't better off either as she was panting with a flushedface. She raised her hand, planning on slapping him. However, just asshe was about to do it, she stared angrily into his lovestruck eyes.

His deep stare reflected her face clearly and for some reason, she couldactually see the love in his gaze.

“Anastasia, I like you.” From the man’s hoarse voice came a confessionIn the end, the hand that was raised mid-way did not land on hishandsome face, and she put it away stiffly.

“Don't have it in your heart to hit me anymore?” Elliot smiled slyly.“Elliot, I don't like you,” Anastasia replied loudly as she stared at himwide-eyed.

His expression darken upon hearing this. “Is it that I've not doneenough, or is it that I've somehow made you angry?”

"Taking advantage of me while forcing me to like you? Do you thinkthat I would ever like you under such circumstances?” Anastasiasneered. Is he really that conpdent that every woman he meets will fallin love with him at the very first sight?

Yet, Elliot did not let go of her and still pinned her down in a suggestiveway. He tried to control himself, but his gentle gaze held a hint ofdesire and possessiveness.

Just like that, he kept staring and attacking her with his gaze.

In the end, Anastasia, who could no longer look him in the eye, startedto panic. And so, she reached out to try to push him away. “Get up,Elliot.”

It was as if there was a strong magic in his stare and one wouldsuccumb to his charms if one looked into his gaze for too long. Eventhough Anastasia was staring at him angrily, Elliot still would not getup, instead staring back at her with eyes full of desire.

Struggling in vain, Anastasia felt the heat, as well as the dangerradiating off the man, making her panic for real.

“Elliot, I'm going to count to three now..."

“Do you think I'm your son? Do you think I can be threatened like this?”Smirking, Elliot dismissed her threats with just that sentence.

This made Anastasia speechless.

He really is a devil in disguise!

“If you don't get up now, I'll call the cops.”

“It was you who brought me into your home of your own volition. Andwith me being your boss and you being my employee, things wouldbecome quite hard to explain at the police station.” Smirking evenmore, Elliot continued, “What do you think they will believe? Youseducing me? Or me seducing you?”

Although the man was arguing against her right now, he had a lovingsmile, making Anastasia itch to hit him in the face.

Probably because he had teased her enough and didn't actually want tomake her mad, Elliot suddenly leaned over and gave her a peck on thelips. “Anastasia, please try and open up your heart to me. I promise youwon't be disappointed.”

Hope flashed in his eyes and he pleaded at her with a hoarse voice. Forpeople who were born with a golden spoon like Elliot, it was rare forhim to plead with someone.

Finally, the man got up, leaving Anastasia stunned for a few secondsbefore sitting up. Then, she proceeded to open the entrance doorwithout any hesitation. “You'd

better leave. I don’t want you staying any further.”

Suddenly, pain flashed across Elliot's eyes, and he clutched his stomachas cold sweat covered his forehead. Thereafter, he stumbled andcrashed onto the sofa.

Meanwhile, an icy Anastasia was about to send him away. However,seeing him like this made her close the door and rush over to his side inthe blink of an eye. “What's wrong?!"
