Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 175

Anastasia’s pair of beautiful eyes shifted from left to right. She also pursed her lips for a moment before biting on her lower lip. At that point, she looked deeply troubled as she struggled to come up with a decision.

As for Elliot, he continued to hold his cup as he gracefully sipped some tea. His thick eyelashes formed a dense canopy and his eyes were covered thus masking the intense, penetrating look in them.

Anastasia suddenly turned to shoot him a fleeting yet pleading look, but she could only manage to catch his nonchalant look from his handsome side profile. He behaved as if this had nothing to do with him, and he clearly wasn’t going to offer her any help at all.

She merely shot him a quick look before lowering her eyes. At the same time, she was quite frustrated as she grumbled to herself, What did I expect from him anyway? He’s just here today to watch me make a fool of myself, or perhaps he’s just here to have some fun.
