His Dangerous Love

Chapter 83 As Long as You Agree

Chapter 83 As Long as You Agree

Elianna breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jefferson, please have a seat on the sofa. I'll go get some wine."

Seeing Jefferson sitting down, Elianna finally felt at ease and went upstairs to the bathroom.

She needed to fetch not only the wine but also the clothes she wanted to change into.

Staying in a bathrobe with Jefferson was like inviting trouble, just as if she were grilling herself in front of a wolf.

As she was about to take off her bathrobe and pick up her fresh clothes, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Elianna spun around in shock, using her clothes to cover her chest. "How did you get in?"

Jefferson, with an ungentlemanly gaze, appreciated the great view in front of him. "I came in to tell you that someone's here."

"Someone's here?!" Elianna was too worried to feel embarrassed, hastily putting on her clothes.

Jefferson continued to watch her dress until she was fully covered before averting his gaze.

Elianna anxiously paced around, certain that Asher had returned.

This was not good at all.

Unlike her hurried actions, Jefferson walked to the edge of the bathtub, skimmed the water surface, and picked up a flower petal with his fingers.

"Are you planning a romantic bath?"

After the initial panic, Elianna had calmed down. She always slept in the secondary bedroom, and Asher rarely entered it. As long as Jefferson stayed inside, he shouldn't be discovered.

With this in mind, Elianna's gaze shifted to Jefferson. His black shirt was unbuttoned at the collar and softened by the steam, emphasizing his prominent muscle lines.

But she had no time to appreciate him at the moment. She spoke in a negotiating tone, "Jefferson, can you hide here for a while? I promise Asher won't stay too long."

"Oh?" Jefferson casually flicked off the water droplets on his hand. "So, you want me to hide in the bathroom like an adulterer until your legitimate husband leaves?"

The more he talked, the more guilty Elianna felt. She wanted to turn Jefferson into a secret lover and make him cower in this small bathroom. The whole situation sounded like something out of a fantasy novel, and she had actually gone along with it. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

But the noises downstairs reminded her that Asher was indeed downstairs.

Time was running out. Elianna pleaded, "As long as you agree to stay here, you can have whatever you want after Asher leaves, okay?"

Jefferson lazily glanced at her. "Whatever I want?"

"Yes, I'll do whatever you want."

To deal with the current situation, Elianna made a bold promise.

Jefferson stood up, tapped her shoulder, and said, "Deal."

Elianna sighed in relief, not only closing the bathroom door but also locking it.

Just as she stepped out of the secondary bedroom door, she ran into Asher, who was heading upstairs.

Asher saw Elianna at home, but he passed by as if he hadn't seen her and hurried towards the master bedroom.

Suddenly, he remembered something and turned to her, extending his hand. "When we got engaged before, Dad gave you a card. Give it back to me."

Elianna's mind was focused on Jefferson in the bathroom, fearing any unexpected movements from him. Hearing Asher's casual tone, she felt utterly speechless.

"Back? Are you serious?"

Impatiently, Asher said, "That card was originally given to you by my parents. What's wrong with giving it back to me?"

"That was money from your parents to me for us getting married. Now you want it back. Should I tell them that we are no longer married?"

"You're a prominent heiress. Why are you so petty!"

Disgusted, Asher thought Elianna couldn't compare to Kenley. Every time he bought things for Kenley, she would say they were too expensive and only accept the cheapest flowers. He had to insist for her to reluctantly accept them and she treasured them all the while.

Now, even in the face of such a big problem, Elianna still couldn't bear to inconvenience him.

If he hadn't intervened, she might have done something foolish.

In comparison, Elianna, who held onto those millions without letting go, seemed vulgar.

"Never mind, I won't argue with you. I need the money now, and I'll pay you back later."

Money... Elianna instantly understood who he was raising money for.

Thinking of where this money would eventually end up, Elianna didn't refuse and turned to go inside to get the money.

Opening the bedside table, she took out a card.

As she turned around, she saw Asher following her. Elianna was momentarily stunned.

She glanced toward the bathroom, panic welling up inside her. "What are you doing here? Get out!"

Elianna's stern tone left Asher bewildered.

"What's the matter with me entering your room? Why are you so flustered?"
