Chapter 388 Watch TV With Me
“Okay, I’ll definitely listen to Mommy and not make her angry.” Jared nodded.
“Good boy. Go on, have fun!”
With that, Jared picked a set of Legos he was most interested in and went into his room. Meanwhile,
Anastasia stored the rest of the presents in the storage cabinet. Although Elliot looked visibly better
now, she still asked out of concern, “Have you gotten over your cold?”
“It’s all gone now,” Elliot said with a smile. “All thanks to you.”
Anastasia lowered her head upon meeting his fathomless gaze. “I didn’t do anything, though.”
“You don’t have to. You just have to smile more at me. It works better than any medicine in this world.”
Elliot smiled. Not even a sliver of aloofness could be found on him whenever he faced her.
Abashed, she handed the bowl of fruit to him. “Quit yapping and have some fruits!”
Elliot handed her a banana out of the blue, asking, “Want one?”

Elliot got what she was thinking immediately and guffawed. “What in the world are you thinking? Is your
little mind constantly filled with lewd thoughts?”
Anastasia’s face flushed bright red at that. Yes, she had overreacted, but he had clearly done it on
purpose, hadn’t he?
Elliot laughed at her for quite a while before finally helping himself to the fruits. Just then, he looked
somewhat lustfully at her. “Feel free to come at me if you have any needs in this regard.”
“I don’t.” Anastasia rolled her eyes straight at him.
Elliot only smiled, looking like an incubus, hot as hell.
Anastasia got up and went to gather the laundry hanging on the balcony, not daring to take another
look at him. By the time she came back in, Elliot had slouched on the couch, looking weary.
Instead of watching TV, he fixed his gaze on her while holding the tea she had brewed for him.
It had unknowingly reached 9.30PM, and Anastasia looked toward the man who had been hanging
around for nearly an hour. “It’s getting late. When are you going to leave?”
“Can I sleep in your bed tonight?” Elliot got greedy.
“No.” It was a hard pass.
At that, he sighed disappointedly. “Your bed to me is the best cure for insomnia, and my head has been
hurting lately…”
Anastasia wasn’t sure if he was lying or not, but when she looked at him, he was rubbing his temples,
looking like he seriously had a throbbing headache.
Her heart ached for him again when she thought about how she had angered him to sickness a few
days back.
“How are you going to shower and sleep when you don’t have a change of clothes?”
“I have some clothes in the car. I’ll have Rey bring it up!” Elliot said it as though he had come prepared.
Instantly, Anastasia thought she had fallen for his trap. This man had specially come to sleep over!
“Fine then! Have him bring it up for you!” She agreed to let him stay over in the end.

Elation immediately surged within Elliot’s fathomless gaze. “Okay.”
Soon, Rey came delivering Elliot’s clothes—there was a suit for the next day and a set of cotton
pajamas. Sure enough, he had planned to come over from the very beginning.
With that, Anastasia went to tuck Jared in, leaving Elliot to shower and go to bed himself.
Jared had so much fun with the Lego set that he exhausted himself, falling asleep as soon as his head
hit the pillow. With that, Anastasia got out of bed to check if Elliot had also gone to bed.
However, the lights in the living room were still lit, and Elliot was slouched on the couch after his
shower, watching TV in his black night robe.
“Why haven’t you gone to bed?” Anastasia asked as she hugged her arms, feeling chilly. It was already
winter. Wouldn’t he catch a cold in such thin clothes?
Elliot reached his hand out to her in response. “Come here.”
Anastasia knew she’d surely be taken advantage of if she went to him.
Surprisingly, she didn’t reject him. Instead, she deliberately sat a little far away from him. At that, Elliot
got up and sat right next to her before pulling the woman into his arms.
“Watch TV with me for a while, will you?” Elliot asked softly.
