Chapter 95

Anastasia didn’t notice anything unusual. When she got into the car, Logan said he had other business to handle and didn’t follow her. She didn’t think twice about
it.
“What’s that?”
Harrison’s deep, smooth voice drifted over as he glanced at the elegant gift box in her arms. The sound made her ears tingle, and she rubbed them shyly before answering, “It’s… a gift for you.”
“A gift?” He blinked in surprise, his gaze returning to the box. After a pause, he asked, “Did you go out today just to get me a present?”
“That’s right!”
Since he’d already figured it out, Anastasia gave up trying to hide it. She opened the box and took out a pair of cufflinks.
“The moment I saw these, I thought they’d be perfect for you! Honey, do you like them?” Her nerves mixed with anticipation as she held them out to him.
It was the first time she’d ever given him a gift. In her previous life, the thought had never even crossed her mind-instead, he was always the one bringing her little treasures and rare finds, things he thought she’d enjoy. She’d never appreciated any of it. The memory made her heart ache with regret.
Harrison stared at the cufflinks, his expression unreadable, saying nothing.
Anastasia’s excitement faded, disappointment creeping into her tone. “You… don’t like them?”
She started to pull her hand back, but suddenly, his hand closed around hers.
“I love them,” he said, meeting her gaze with quiet intensity. “Will you put them on for me?”
Surprised and delighted, Anastasia looked up, meeting those dark, fathomless eyes. She felt her cheeks burn for reasons she couldn’t explain.
“Of course! Let me help you.”
She took his hand and pushed up the sleeve of his suit jacket, revealing the crisp shirt beneath. His hand was large, strong, and elegant, each finger perfectly shaped the same way his presence always seemed to envelop her. Her own hand fit perfectly in his.
Once she’d fastened the cufflinks, she couldn’t help thinking he looked even more handsome than before.
Suddenly, a small box appeared in front of her.
Anastasia blinked in confusion. “What’s this?”
“Open it,” Harrison said, watching her closely.
A wild guess leapt into her mind, and she hurried to lift the lid.
Inside, a stunning pair of earrings sparkled up at her. The deep blue gemstones
matched the cufflinks almost exactly-a perfect pair.
Her breath caught and her eyes widened in surprise.
“They match!” she gasped, grinning up at him. “Is this… for me?”
Harrison didn’t deny it; his voice was gentle, a hint of affection in his words. “Do you like them?”
“I love them!” Anastasia nodded so hard her eyes practically shone with stars, her happiness radiating.
All at once, she grabbed his hand and gave it a little shake, her cheeks turning pink as she pleaded, “Then… Honey, will you help me put them on?” Google seaʀᴄh.net
She thrust the earrings toward him, her eyes full of hopeful excitement. “Please?” Harrison hesitated for a split second.
He’d never done anything like this for a woman before, but seeing the anticipation in her face, something in him softened. His voice was a little rough when he answered, Sure.”
To make it easier, Anastasia scooted closer to him-so close that she ended up nearly curling up in his lap.
Noticing the way he glanced down at her, she blushed even harder, her gaze darting away as she mumbled in mock defiance, “It’s… just easier this way.”
No sooner had she said it than she felt a low rumble through his chest; he seemed to chuckle. “You’re right. Much easier.”
His tone was indulgent, almost teasing.
Anastasia’s face turned scarlet. She gave up all pretense and buried herself in his arms, playing dead.
So what if she wanted to be close to her husband? She was entitled!
Harrison didn’t push her away. Instead, he picked up the earrings and, with a gentleness that surprised even him, carefully fastened them for her.
Wrapped in his familiar scent and steady warmth, Anastasia felt lightheaded, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
She snuck a glance upward and caught a glimpse of his strong jaw, then up to his strikingly handsome face-like a god come to life…
