Chapter 468
Anastasia was practically scared out of her wits by Harrison and felt utterly
wronged-like being accused of a crime she didn’t commit, the injustice stinging like a summer snowstorm.
“Darling, I barely even know him!” She threw herself into his arms, her voice brimming with frustration and wounded innocence. “We only spoke two sentences, that’s it!”
But right beside her ear, Harrison let out a cold, bitter laugh-there was a hint of teeth-gritting in his tone. “Oh? So you remember exactly how many words you exchanged with him? Sounds like he made quite the impression.”
Anastasia was instantly at a loss for words, caught off guard by his accusation. “N-no! I just have a good memory, that’s all!”
“Is that so?” Harrison clearly didn’t believe her; his expression was still dark and intimidating.
After all, how could she claim they were barely acquainted when the man had sent her such a rare jade pendant, along with a note so ambiguous and full of expectation? No one would go that far for a stranger.
It took everything Harrison had to suppress the simmering anger and jealousy inside him, barely managing to keep it from boiling over.
Anastasia’s mind raced. All she wanted was to clear her name, so she blurted out in a rush, “I was only there that day with the rest of the Global Harmony Medical team to treat him—nothing else! Besides that, I’ve had absolutely no contact with him!” Official source ıs

She rattled off her defense, but Harrison suddenly froze mid-movement.
Anastasia didn’t notice his reaction and tugged at his sleeve, eager for him to believe her. “Darling
“You know?” Harrison cut her off, his voice oddly stiff and hoarse.
“Know what?” Anastasia blinked, confused.
“That I can see where you go and how long you stay.” Harrison’s fingers brushed
lightly over her ear as he spoke, his voice barely above a whisper.
Anastasia went rigid. She looked up at him, caught off guard.

and for her secret to come tumbling out.
“Darling Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she looked up at him, testing his mood.
“I-I did know she admitted in a small voice.
Harrison was silent for a couple of seconds. “Since when?”
Her embarrassment only deepened. Since the first day.”
This time, Harrison was quiet for even longer.
Anastasia felt a strange anxiety creep in. She wrapped her arms around his waist, rushing to reassure him, “It’s just a

Because it’s you.”

Her beautiful eyes sparkled like stars. “You care about me so much, it only makes
me happy. Please, don’t overthink it, darling.”
She nuzzled her soft cheek against
his chest. “I know you worry about me and care for me. When I found

out about the tracking, I honestly wasn’t angry. I just thought, if this helps you feel a little happier a little safer, then it can stay on my phone forever.”
Her words were so sincere and full of warmth that Harrison found himself unable
to speak, his voice caught in his throat.
After a long pause, his voice was low and rough. “Is that really how you feel, Ana
Anastasia nodded without a moment’s hesitation.
