Chapter 717

Meanwhile, Cedric led them to a spacious and luxuriously appointed lounge. After bringing Anastasia the coat she needed, he didn’t dare disturb them further and promptly left.
Anastasia slipped on the coat and twirled in front of Harrison. “I’m not cold at all now. Hubby, can I go outside?”
Harrison adjusted her collar. “You can, but don’t stay out for too long.”
“I know.” She pulled him along, eager to head outside.
Just as they reached the door, however, they unexpectedly ran into Barnett and Marcus, who were coming in from outside.
“Where are you two off to?”
“What are you guys doing in here I want to go to the observation deck. I’ve never seen the ocean like this before!”
While the Sterling family wasn’t short on money, Gabriel and Nora Sinclair had never been inclined to take her on trips. Besides, she was always too preoccupied with fighting Gabriel, the Brennan family, and all the people who looked down on her to even think about traveling. Read complete versıon only at
So, in two lifetimes, this was her first time at the seaside, and she couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement.
Harrison, who had just been feeling a sense of amused resignation, felt his heart clench when he heard her words.
Thinking of her irresponsible father and looking at the girl who was now clinging to his hand with a joyful expression, Harrison had to exert a great deal of effort to suppress the sudden surge of rage that welled up in his chest, leaving only a tender ache of sympathy and affection.
“Let’s go. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the ocean, too.” He held her hand, his deep-set eyes filled with gentleness.
Marcus and Barnett also caught the meaning behind her words. One of them grinned roguishly and said, “Well, isn’t this perfect? We were just coming to get you. Let’s go, let’s go!”
The other gave a warm smile. “The view from the observation deck is quite nice.” The group made their way to the observation deck.
Facing the wind blowing in from the sea, Anastasia gazed at the vast, magnificent ocean, feeling a surge of heroic spirit fill her heart.
But the weather was still too cold, and it was nighttime. After just a few moments, she couldn’t help but shrink her neck into her collar.
Harrison, who was watching her closely, pulled her into his embrace. “Cold?”
“A little… but I want to stay a bit longer,” she said sheepishly, her eyes pleading softly with him.
He had originally been worried about her catching a chill and hadn’t
wanted her to stay out too long, but recalling the look of pure joy in her eyes

affection.
He shifted his position to block the cold wind for her and leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Alright, we’ll stay a little longer.”
Surprised that he had agreed so easily, Anastasia paused for a second before wrapping her arms around his waist in delight and turning her head back toward the
sea.
The atmosphere was so warm that even Marcus felt reluctant to break it. But just then, a waiter appeared, hovering nearby and glancing over, seemingly too hesitant to approach.
Marcus frowned and walked over. “What is it?”
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “A relative of Mr. Harrison Lancaster… she says she’s Mrs Lancaster’s sister. She’s downstars and says she has. something important to discuss with Mr. Harrison Lancaster.”
“What?”
Anastasia turned to look as well.
The others all turned their gazes to her.
Anastasia only needed a moment to guess who it was, and she couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
How did Queena have the nerve to call herself Harrison’s relative? Didn’t she know where they stood?
