Chapter 199

“So that means that you’ll be sleeping alone tonight?” A roguish look flashed across the man’s eyes.

Instantly, Anastasia was on high alert as she looked at him and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Nothing much. It’s just that I want to sleep on your bed.”

“Don’t push your luck. Go back to sleep at your own home. Otherwise, I’ll ban you from ever eating over

here again.”

“Your dad looked very happy tonight, but the time left until his company is taken over is only three

months away. If you want your dad to still look this happy in the future, just let me sleep here for the

night,” Elliot uttered the cruel words while looking at the faraway lights.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was left in disbelief by his words and she froze for a second.

“The opposition this time is very strong. If I don’t interfere, no one has the ability to save your father’s

company. Maybe your father can go around asking for favors and using his connections, but it won’t

change the fate of his company being taken over in the end.”

Feeling as though all the energy had left her body, Anastasia was stuck in a dilemma. She did not want

anything to happen to her father’s company, yet she also did not want to beg Elliot.

“Maybe my dad would be luckier, maybe his company…” However, Anastasia could not continue, as she

knew that her father’s ‘luck’ all these years was actually just Elliot helping him out behind the scenes.

“Anastasia, do you think that it would be better for your father to go beg someone else, or do you think

that it would be better if you begged me on his behalf?” His voice growing hoarse, Elliot then continued,

“Even if I’m not obligated to do so, I am still very willing to help you and your father out.”

Hearing this, Anastasia could only look at the city’s nightlights, and she had the sudden feeling that even

the sky was not big enough to fit her troubles. How did things spiral to this point?

The man she did not want to beg the most turned out to be the man who could solve

all her problems.

In the end, it was all because she was not tough enough, yet she also did not want to see her father go

around begging people, so Anastasia bit her lip and looked at Elliot. “Do you want to sleep in my son’s or

my bed?”

Smirking, the man answered definitively, “Your bed.”

The moment the words left her mouth, Anastasia felt as if she had trampled all over her principles. In the

end, she hung her head low and despised how she was acting at the moment.

Guessing her thoughts, Elliot suddenly hugged her. “Anastasia, I won’t permit you to look down on

yourself. Even if you didn’t beg me, I would still have helped your father. I promise that in this life, I will

make sure that you and your father will live in peace and never have to worry about money ever again.”

Admittingly, the man had a power to easily pick on her softest spot at her most vulnerable moments.

“Thank you.” Reaching out, Anastasia tried to push him away, but Elliot would not let her do so.

At that point, he dropped a loving kiss to her hair. “Don’t worry. I’m here to protect

you.”

This sentence made Anastasia think that he was omnipotent, and that he could block anything from

harming her and her family.

For some unknown reason, she stayed in his embrace without struggling, and she did not know if it was

because the feeling of being protected by him was very nice or that she did not have the strength to

struggle anymore.

They stayed this way until her phone rang again. Taking it out, she saw it was from Nigel, so she broke

free from Elliot’s embrace while composing herself. Just as Anastasia was about to answer the call, the

man snatched it away from her and turned on the loudspeaker.

“Hello, Anastasia. Are you afraid of sleeping alone? Do you want to chat for a while?”

The lovesick voice of Nigel echoed around the silent balcony.

This made Anastasia’s face blush. This evil man! Why did he turn on the loudspeaker? Yet, since the

phone was in Elliot’s hands, she couldn’t snatch it back even if she wanted

to.

*Uh… There’s no need for that. Nigel, just go to sleep. Goodnight!” Anastasia just wanted to end the

conversation as soon as possible.

“I can’t sleep. I’m thinking of you, you know?” At this point, Nigel was still unaware that his flirtatious

words were being overheard by a third party.

“Nigel… Nigel, stop talking right now and just go to sleep! I’m going to hang up now.”

However, Nigel began to act spoiled. “Sing a song for me, then. It can even be a children’s song used to

humor Jared. If you do it, then I’ll sleep. If you don’t, then I won’t.”

Elliot’s expression became thunderous when he heard those words, while Anastasia’s face became as

red as a tomato.

Why did she have to encounter such a thing?
