Chapter 327 Let’s Reconcile!

Elliot didn’t know what to expect if he were to tell Anastasia that he was the one who changed her out of

her dirty clothes.

She immediately covered her arms over her chest and questioned him with suspicious eyes, “Why are

you in my room? Where is Felicia?”

“Director Evans went home to rest. I am in charge of taking care of you now,” he answered in a low

voice.

Her sharp gaze then darted to the bathrobe he had on before her heart seemed to come to a stop for a

moment. “You…” she stuttered. “Why are you in a bathrobe?”

Was Felicia even here last night? she panicked. Did Elliot put me in this bathrobe?

He casually reminded her then. “You threw up all over me.”

When Anastasia heard that, her cheeks started heating up. She did vaguely remember puking, but she

had no recollection of what or who she did it on.

She had no choice but to believe Elliot for now.

In a cold voice, she chided him as she turned to look the other way. “I don’t need you to take care of me.

You can leave now!”

“Before I go,” he calmly mentioned, “I want to explain about the rumor regarding Aliona and me that has

been going around these 2 days.” He didn’t want the misunderstanding to continue being dragged on.

“You don’t have to. There is no need for that.” Not wanting to spare him the time of her day for him to

give his excuses, she flipped open the blanket and got out of bed.

Despite her rejection, Elliot continued to say, “Would you believe me if I were to tell you that the rumors

are fake?”

Anastasia’s grip on the front of her bathrobe tightened at that and she let out a smile. From him giving

flowers with a pair of couple’s bracelets to Aliona to him walking out of a restaurant with her, how could

any of what she had seen with her own eyes be fake?

“Thank you for taking care of me the whole night, but I don’t care who is involved in the rumors regarding

you. I am going home now.” Anastasia started looking for her bag after she said her piece.

However, the man couldn’t possibly let her leave. Elliot stood up and grabbed her by her wrist, and the

already lightheaded Anastasia swiftly fell into his arms.

Her face was red with anger as she looked at the relentless man. “You—”

“Don’t even think about going anywhere before you hear out,” he commandingly interrupted as his arms

tightened around her.

His domineering tone made her bite her teeth as she gritted, “Do I have the choice to not listen?”

“No.” Elliot locked his eyes on Anastasia before he asked without beating around the bush. “Answer my

question first, then. Why did you pick up Jared with Alex on Wednesday? Have I ever crossed your mind

when you were spending time alone and flirting with him? You can’t even be bothered with picking up my

call when you are with him, huh?”

Anatasia froze when she heard his words. She hadn’t expected him to know that she had gone with Alex

to take Jared from school.

As for her not picking up his call, she had actually placed her phone on silent when he called. She didn’t

call him back after that because she didn’t see the need to do so.

Elliot continued before she could even muster a reply. “That was why I purposely gave Aliona a bouquet

the next day. I purposely didn’t clear up the rumor. I intentionally went to the restaurant that you were at

to let you see us. I purposely called you to my office to see my order on the pair of couple’s bracelets.

Everything I did was because I was jealous of you and Alex. I only wanted to punish you for making me

angry, do you understand?”

Anastasia couldn’t think of what to think after listening to him rambling on. He started the rumors just

because of that one time Alex and I picked up Jared together, and didn’t take his call afterward?

After lagging behind for a full minute, she was suddenly curious about the whereabouts of the other

bracelet. “Did you give out your couple’s bracelet?” she asked.

He grumpily flicked her on the forehead at that moment. “It is in my drawer. Come and get it from my

office tomorrow.”

“You are giving it to me?” she asked, shocked. Isn’t it supposed to be for Aliona?

“Who else other than you has the right to wear a couple’s jewelry with me?” His dark eyes were looking

down at her all in crankiness.

She hadn’t given him an answer yet when a smile suddenly appeared on Elliot’s face. “Why did you drink

so much last night?” he teased. “Were you jealous?”

“W-Who said I was drinking because of you?! Can’t I drink because I want to?” After having been found

out, Anastasia meekly argued with him as she tried to struggle out of his hold.

Even though she eventually broke free, she was back in his embrace a second later.

The man gently rubbed the back of her head as he let out a resigned sigh beside her ear. “Alright, now.

You don’t have to be jealous, and I won’t get mad from now on. Let’s reconcile!”
