Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 368

As soon as the family of three disappeared from sight, the smile slipped from Anastasia’s lips.

“Does it hurt?” a voice murmured beside her.

She turned to find Harrison watching her, concern and tenderness softening his deep eyes.

Her chest tightened. She turned away, then suddenly wrapped her arms around him, burrowing her head against his chest. “Not at all. They’re not worth my tears!”

She’d long since stopped seeing Gabriel as her father. Seeing his cold indifference again just left her with a taste she couldn’t quite name.

Harrison held his petite wife close, his large hand gently stroking her silky hair as he spoke, carefully choosing his words, “If you ever wanted family—”

“I don’t,” Anastasia interrupted, tightening her arms around his neck and gazing up at him. “My mom is gone, yes, but now I have you, darling. You’re my love, but you’re also my family. I don’t need anyone else.”

“And besides, I have my cousin. You’ve met Juliet—you know how close we are. She treats me like a real sister, and I feel the same about her.”

“I have you two. That’s all I need.”

As for the rest of her grandfather’s side, well, she knew they still hadn’t forgiven her. Harrison probably knew that too, so she didn’t bring them up.

Harrison’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He pulled her even closer, holding her tightly in his arms, silent for a long moment.

Her utter trust and devotion warmed his heart, but beneath it all, it made him uneasy. She poured everything into him—what would become of her if he were ever gone?

Anastasia didn’t notice the shadow crossing his face. Suddenly, she looked up at him, her voice lighter. “Honey, you said just now that no matter what I do, even if I mess up, you’ll always protect me. Was that true?”

He stroked her cheek, answering without hesitation, “Of course.”
