Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 156

Her phone suddenly buzzed. She scrambled to silence it, heart thumping, and stole a glance at the screen.

It was a message from Logan—

[Mr. Harrison Lancaster hasn’t slept at all tonight.]

Just one short sentence, but it sent a tremor through Anastasia’s heart.

He couldn’t sleep... was it because she wasn’t there?

She turned to look at the man sleeping deeply beside her. The feeling that swept over her was bittersweet—joy, because she mattered to him so much; sorrow, for the exact same reason.

What had she really given him, anyway? Nothing tangible—just her company for a brief while, a few kind words whispered in the dark. And yet, that was enough for him to feel he couldn’t live without her.

How much loneliness had this man endured, for him to grasp so tightly to the scraps of comfort and affection she offered?

Her eyes stung with the threat of tears. Quietly, she nestled closer into his arms and closed her eyes.

Anastasia slept soundly for the first half of the night, and woke early the next morning.

Harrison was still fast asleep, and she obediently stayed curled up in his embrace, not daring to move.

Her gaze drifted to his chest: lean muscle stretched beneath the thin cotton of his shirt. She tried to resist, but curiosity got the better of her—carefully, she raised her head to check if he was still asleep. When she saw he hadn't stirred, she bravely extended a finger and gave him a gentle poke—

“Ah!” In a flash, her small hand was enveloped by his much larger one. She let out a startled yelp.

She looked up, guilt written all over her face, but when her eyes met his striking, handsome features, she couldn’t help but smile. “Morning, hubby! You’re awake!”

“What were you up to, hmm?” His voice was still thick with sleep, but somehow even deeper and more magnetic than usual, his eyes fixed on her with that unyielding intensity.

“I just wanted to see how it felt…” she mumbled, half-embarrassed, half-playful. “You’re my hubby now—can’t I at least do that?”

His eyes darkened, a dangerous glint in them.
