Chapter 447 Slept on His Bed
“Anastasia, will you come home for dinner on Christmas Eve?” Francis asked before she left.
Looking at her father’s eyes which were filled with anticipation, Anastasia thought for a moment and
said, “Sure. I’ll bring Jared home for Christmas Eve.”
Upon hearing that, Francis beamed. “Great! I will ask Naomi to prepare more food, especially some of
Jared’s favorites,” he said with excitement.
Anastasia understood that her father only wanted the family to be harmonious, but certain things could
not be changed; just as there is no way to eliminate Naomi and Erica’s resentment of her.
As Anastasia drove out of the parking lot in her sports car, she came across Alex’s car. He stopped and
lowered the window to wave goodbye at her. Out of courtesy, she reciprocally lowered the window.
Meanwhile, Alex’s heart was completely captured by her.
Dressed in her suit and driving the gray sports car, Anastasia looked stunning and elegant.
“Anastasia, drive slowly,” Alex said.
“I will. Thank you.” After saying that, she stepped on the accelerator and left.
Anastasia drove home all the way without making any stops. As she noticed it was already 2 PM, she
wondered what Elliot and Jared were doing after lunch.

After she entered the password and walked into the hall, she could feel the absence of Elliot and Jared.
However, just as Anastasia was about to head upstairs, she detected a burnt scent coming from the
kitchen.
Shocked, she quickly put down her bag and dashed to the kitchen. However, the kitchen was clean and
tidy, with some vegetables on the counter. She then noticed the burnt smell was coming from a cooking
pot. Out of curiosity, she had a peek at it and she was both amused and moved.
Apparently, Elliot failed in cooking lunch for her son. Did he take Jared out to eat?
So, Anastasia took off her coat and started to clean up the kitchen. Every time she tidied up something,
she could imagine Elliot working hard in the kitchen. As a pampered young master, it must have been
difficult for him to learn how to cook.
After she was done cleaning the kitchen, she sat in the hall and started reading the documents she
brought back from the company. Managing a construction company was indeed challenging for her, but
she would not back down.
She went through those documents and before long, it was already a little after 3 PM. She began to
feel drowsy and she could barely keep her eyes open. Eventually, she lay down on the sofa and fell
asleep.
Soon after, Elliot and Jared came home from lunch and he led Jared into the hall. As soon as they
entered the hall, his sharp eyes spotted a sleeping Anastasia on the couch. Upon seeing that, he
shushed Jared, who was standing beside him. Meanwhile, Jared got the hint and complied, staying
silent.
It was winter now. Even if Anastasia was wearing a coat, she could still feel the cold. However, she was
too tired to move. So, Elliot gestured to Jared, informing him that he was going to carry her upstairs to
sleep.
While covering his mouth with his palm, Jared nodded with a grin. Then, he pointed upstairs, indicating
that he would be spending time in the playroom.
Elliot nodded in response. After Jared went upstairs, Elliot sat beside Anastasia and felt her hands. It
was cold to the touch.
Is she not afraid of catching a cold? Noticing the document that she was still holding in her hands, he
could feel his lips curl up. Hmm. She is putting in a lot of effort. Then, he took the document from her

Anastasia’s face naturally rested against his chest. As if knowing that he was back, she didn’t wake up
and remained fast asleep.
As Elliot was carrying her upstairs, he originally thought of taking her back to her room. However, he
changed his mind halfway through and headed to the main bedroom.
Sleeping on Elliot’s huge gray bed, Anastasia curled up into a comfortable position and continued to
sleep.
Seemingly infected by her sleepiness, Elliot began to feel a little sleepy too. He then lay down beside
her, arms supporting his face as he stared at her. She was breathing evenly, and the corners of her
mouth were curved up slightly.
On the other hand, Anastasia was fast asleep and she had no idea her profile was greatly admired by
Elliot.
His gaze gently traveled across her eyebrows and nose before settling on her slightly pursed red lips.
The pink lips of hers exuded some kind of fatal attraction to him.
At first, Elliot was suppressing his desire, but because it was too hard to hold back, he gave in and
leaned down, pecking her on her lips.
However, the soft touch made him want more.
