Chapter 651

Anastasia’s words caught in her throat. Seeing Harrison like this, so vulnerable, sent a jolt of panic through her. “Hubby
“This isn’t the first time,” he said, his hand gently stroking her cheek, his dark eyes swirling with a storm of emotion. “How many more times will it take for you to finally take me into consideration?”
“I do! I do care about you Anastasia shook her head frantically.
“Hubby, I’m so sorry.” Overwhelmed with guilt, she threw her arms around him. To see this proud, unyielding man show such exhaustion, to hear him speak in a tone that bordered on pleading, made her realize just how heavily her recklessness weighed on him.
This wasn’t the first time. She remembered promising him before, only to fall back into her old habits the moment he let his guard down. The guilt intensified.
“Hubby, it will never happen again, I swear!” she said, looking up at him with earnest sincerity.
She seemed to have forgotten she had made the exact same promise last time.
Harrison gazed into her eyes. “Really?”
“Really, really!” she nodded emphatically.
“What will you give me as a guarantee?”
Anastasia froze. What could she possibly offer as a guarantee? After wracking her brain, she ventured, “I’ll give you all my assets?”
She knew he would probably dismiss it. Everything she owned was a drop in the ocean compared to his fortune. Money was the one thing Harrison Lancaster didn’t need.
As expected, Harrison shook his head. “Something else.”
What else was there? Anastasia’s spirit wilted.
“I don’t have anything else
Seeing her so dejected, Harrison let out a quiet sigh. He ruffled her hair and rested his forehead against hers. “I don’t need a guarantee, Ana,” he said softly. “But I need you to know that if anything ever happens to you, my only choice is to go with you.”
His voice was calm, devoid of emotion, but his words struck Anastasia like a lightning bolt. Her heart clenched, a painful, bittersweet ache spreading through her chest. She had never doubted his love for

Tears escaped from her eyes, and she hugged him tighter, burying her face in his chest.
“I understand now… I’ll remember!”
No guarantee was needed. From this moment on, she would never dare to risk her life again.
Harrison kissed her hair. “Good.”
Suddenly, Anastasia let out a soft groan.
He looked down. “What’s wrong?”
“It hurts she whimpered, looking up at him with teary eyes. In her emotional state,
she had moved too quickly and forgotten about her injury.

He kissed the corner of her eye, still damp with tears. “I’ll put some medicine on it
for you.”
“You don’t have to she mumbled, embarrassed.
“I do.”

Two hours later, they emerged from the room, looking as close as ever.
Marcus, who had been glancing upstairs every few minutes, saw them and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Wasn’t she just wailing like a stuck pig? How were they suddenly so lovey-dovey again? Not just back to normal, but seemingly event clingier than before.
