CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 108: TO CATCH BY LETTING GO? SEDUCING ME?

Annelise hurriedly pushed her hand off Elias Warner’s chest, struggling to get up.

"I... I just removed my makeup... maybe it smeared..."

But in her panic, she accidentally pressed her other hand against Elias Warner.

It was so hot, her hand ached...

Annelise’s cheeks were embarrassingly red.

At that moment, the towel fell.

She was startled and went to pick up the towel on the floor, and the towel wrapped around her below also slipped down.

At that moment, she stood in front of Elias Warner.

"I..."

She fumbled to cover her chest and then bent down to pick up another towel to cover her legs.

Elias Warner looked at the woman in front of him flustered, his lips curled into a smile: "What? Trying to play hard to get? Seducing me?"

"I... I’m not..."

Annelise denied it, how could she possibly seduce him?

Even before, when she was with Elias Warner, she never openly seduced him.

Back then, she thought of him as a man like the bright moon and clear breeze.

She admired him with genuine admiration.

"We’ve already ended, how could I possibly seduce you!" Annelise bit her lip, speaking resolutely.

She forced herself to stay calm, even though she admitted there was a moment of affection just now.

Almost couldn’t resist.

But now, thinking of Luna, thinking of her situation, she should stay as far away from Elias Warner as possible.

Annelise didn’t notice that after she said this, the light in Elias Warner’s eyes dimmed considerably.

He grabbed Annelise’s slender wrist and yanked hard.

The towel Annelise had just wrapped around herself fell off again.

When she wanted to bend down to pick it up, it was already too late.

Her entire bare body fell into Elias Warner’s embrace.

Pain emanated from her chest.

Elias Warner lowered his head and bit her skin near the heart.

His voice was husky, with a tinge of bleakness: "Annelise, do you have a heart? Are you so ruthless? Have you forgotten all our past?"

His hoarse and mournful voice was like a knife piercing Annelise’s heart.

She too couldn’t forget all those bits and pieces with Elias Warner from before.

But fate forced her to try to forget.

"Is it really like this? Annelise, then I want to see if you truly have a heart, I really want to dig it out of your body to see."

Elias Warner bit on Annelise’s skin harder on her chest.

"Oof..." The pain made her whimper.

The skin there was already oozing with a faint red bloodstain.

"Knock knock... knock knock"

A knocking sound came from outside, accompanied by the cries of a young girl.

It was Luna crying.

Annelise hurriedly pushed Elias Warner away, her force even surprised him.

But Elias Warner didn’t have time to think, the crying outside by Luna, for some reason, tugged at his heart.

Elias Warner glanced at Annelise from the corner of his eye, suddenly having an idea, telling Annelise that he had an illegitimate daughter outside, what would it be like?

What would her expression be? Didn’t she just say she didn’t care about him? Had already forgotten all those bits and pieces of being with him?

"The one outside is my daughter; from now on, you need to take care of her and live together with her!"

Annelise was stunned, could it be that Elias Warner knew something?

No way, he was just investigating Jane Shaw yesterday.

It must be a test.

Annelise didn’t have any other emotion.

"That wouldn’t be good, after all, I’m not the child’s mother. If the child’s mother comes and sees me with you, it would be inappropriate! I should move out of the villa!"

Elias Warner tried hard to suppress his anger, he was trying to test her, but she showed no reaction to his claim that it was his illegitimate daughter outside.

Does she really not care about him anymore?

"Ridiculous! You will stay with my daughter, being with her every day, to repay your debt!"

He gritted his back teeth, coldly flung open the door, and walked out of the room.

Annelise stared at the door, feeling anxious, afraid that Luna would see her and directly call her mom.

Thankfully, Elias Warner had shut the door.

Outside

Elias Warner picked up Luna, comforting her: "What’s wrong? Luna? Why are you crying?"

His large hand covered Luna’s head, gently rubbing her soft hair.

Luna sniffled, her tears still hanging at the corners of her eyes.

"Daddy, are you going to be with that auntie in the room? Does that mean you don’t want me and mommy anymore?" Luna pouted her lips in grievance.

"Silly Luna, how could Daddy not want Luna? Daddy will always be Luna’s daddy."

Elias Warner smiled, his narrow eyes slightly crinkled at the corners.

Although it was an unintended expression, in the eyes of Mama Langdon and Uncle Ford, it was like witnessing a world wonder.

The young master actually smiled!

He smiled...

Uncle Ford and Mama Langdon couldn’t help but smile too.

Elias Warner comforted Luna, until she fell asleep in the evening.

The night slowly descended, and Annelise didn’t hear any movement outside, and she lay on the bed, quietly pondering.

Being with her daughter, isn’t that what she always wanted?

Now that her daughter is here, why is she afraid to see her daughter?

She should think of a way to let her daughter stay here with her.

This way, it would be more beneficial for Luna’s recovery.

She suddenly thought of a solution, but she needed to discuss it with Luna, and especially needed to do it when Elias Warner wasn’t around.

Thinking of this, she wanted to leave the room right away, to find Luna, to hold her in her arms, and tell her how much she missed her.

She carefully walked out of the room.

Downstairs, she saw Mama Langdon.

Annelise checked the time; it was already midnight.

Mama Langdon was busy in the living room, and Uncle Ford hadn’t gone to sleep either.

"Miss Winter, why aren’t you resting so late?"

Annelise whispered, "Where is Elias Warner? And where is that little girl resting in the house today?"

"Oh, are you looking for the young master? He went out in the evening and hasn’t returned yet, as for the little girl, after the young master put her to sleep, he settled her in the room at the far corner of the second floor!"

Mama Langdon said as she pointed to the corner room.

Annelise looked up at the room too, the one with the best lighting, Elias Warner was indeed considerate.

"Okay, I’ll go check on her!"

Annelise walked upstairs towards the corner room, feeling immensely excited.

Since coming back to the country, being meddled in her life by Renee Perry, not to mention going to Breslin to see Luna, even video-calling with Luna was done with caution.

Now Elias Warner had actually brought her daughter in front of her.

Annelise felt like crying all over.

She held her chest, calming her uneasy emotions, and quietly stepped into Luna’s room.

The room wasn’t large, with a pink bed, and several dolls placed on it, playing an audio of Elias Warner’s story reading of Peter Rabbit, and Doraemon...

The room was kept at a constant temperature, so Luna only had a single quilt covering her.

And the quilt was already kicked off by her two small feet.

Her fair skin was exposed outside.

Annelise quietly approached Luna, and through the villa’s light seeping in from the curtains, she saw Luna’s chest position, making her cover her mouth and weep.
