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 clothes were still on. It didn’t seem like it had been taken off, either. She hastily got off the bed to find that her shoes were gone, so she had no choice but to walk barefoot on the clean ground.

She glanced at the clock beside the bed to see that it was nearly 4.30AM. The skies were still dark outside. Did this man just get me to sleep in his house? What about my son?

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 can continue sleeping! I won’t disturb you anymore.” Then, she shut the door before walking down the corridor. She was going
