Elliot found his way to vent upon seeing Anastasia’s red lips. With his large palm pressing against her head and his other hand clutching her waist, he sealed her red lips with his. Her delicate lips were enraging him and driving him insane.

She deserves to be punished.

She had consumed alcohol earlier, and her mind was already foggy. She felt even weaker in the face of his actions. His kisses were always commanding, with no room for defiance, especially tonight’s.

He was like a wild beast waiting to devour her alive. Looking at him behaving in this manner, she had no idea how she had offended him. This kiss lasted until a stray bird flew across the window, as they both assumed her son had awoken.

Grabbing the opportunity, she immediately pushed him hard and covered her swollen lips. “If you keep on behaving so rudely, I’ll move out tomorrow.”

Though he hadn’t had enough, he replied, “Okay. No more kissing.”

Immediately, she returned to her room, her brain appearing to be depleted of oxygen. She fell asleep within seconds, convinced that she would never mess with him again.

The next day, when Anastasia awoke around eight o’clock in the morning, Elliot’s house was already crowded with people. They were all from the Global Haute Couture Customization Company, which sent ten mini tuxedos and ten evening gowns for Jared and her to choose from.

Oh, woah! This is unexpected. She had assumed she would have to rent an evening gown on her own, but Elliot had now arranged for door-to-door service.

“Miss Tillman, these are all for you to choose. If none of them is to your liking, we’ll replace them with a whole new set. They are all from our headquarters, and I can assure you that they’re one of a kind. With them, you’d never have to deal with the awkward situation of bumping into someone wearing the same gown as you.”

Looking at the gowns, she realized that each one was beautiful enough to entice everyone at the banquet. A silver-gray gown with gray sequins on the upper part and a gauze skirt for the rest drew her attention. Because of the off-shoulder design, it appeared elegant and sexy but not overly revealing.

“Let me try this.” She pointed at the gown she saw.

She went back to her room to try it on, and because it fit her well, she decided to wear it to the banquet. She then started looking for a suit for her son. The moment he put on the suit she chose, she was startled by how similar Jared looked to Elliot.

He is just a mini version of Elliot! Will someone mistake Jared as Elliot’s son tonight? She was worried because she would not know whether to laugh or cry if such a thing happened.

Thinking about this, she realized she hadn’t seen Elliot all morning and had no idea what he was up to. Thus, she told her son, “Jared, go play alone for a while.”

Jared immediately heeded to his playing room. Meanwhile, she went up to the third floor to look for Elliot. She was on the third floor when she heard a voice resonating from the study room and decided to go in. As she stood by the door, she saw a man talking on the phone on the balcony.

Seeing that, she tactfully turned around to avoid disturbing him. Just when she was about to leave, she heard his shouting from the balcony. “Ask him to leave! If he dares to attend my grandmother’s birthday party, I’ll make him vanish from this world.”

That made her heart pound anxiously, and she turned around to see the man standing on the balcony with his back facing her. He was gripping the rails and clutching the phone tightly, as if someone had enraged him. This was his rare angry side, and she happened to catch it.

Who made him angry so early in the morning?

“This is my last warning. If he refuses to take my warning seriously, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” He dropped such words to the person on the other end of the call. His phone was still tightly gripped in his hand, and with his head lowered, his figure from behind appeared depressed.

Such a scene made her chest tighten, and she felt compelled to comfort him even before she realized why. But she had no idea whether she had the right to do so. This man had always appeared domineering before her, and he might not want her to see his weaker side.

Just when she was hesitating, the man on the balcony turned around suddenly, and their eyes met.
