Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 74

But underneath her anxiety, what she felt most was a sense of grievance. “—Weren’t you the one who told me to leave?”

“You say you love me?” Harrison pressed, his gaze dark and unyielding as he fixed his eyes on her.

Anastasia opened her mouth to answer, but the sting of his earlier rejection made her falter. She turned her head away in frustration, her voice small and wounded. “You don’t even believe me, so why bother asking?”

She shifted in his arms. “Let go of me. I’ll just go home!”

Before she could pull away, his warm hand cupped her cheek, forcing her to look up and meet his eyes—eyes as black as midnight, swirling with something dangerous.

He ignored her protests. She couldn’t tell if he was warning her, or simply thinking aloud. “I gave you a chance. You refused to leave. Don’t regret it later.”

With him so close, Anastasia felt like prey caught in the gaze of a predator. Her heart fluttered, and for a moment, she was genuinely afraid of him. But she held her ground, refusing to look away. “I won’t regret it,” she mumbled, stubborn as ever.

Harrison studied her for a moment, then abruptly released her. “Go get changed.”

Anastasia blinked, confused. “For what?”

“We’re going to the Registry Office.”

“The—Registry Office?!” She stared at him in disbelief, eyes wide.

“What, don’t want to?” His deep-set eyes seemed to see straight through her.

“No—no, that’s not it!” Anastasia stammered. “It’s just… sudden.”

But just as quickly, excitement bubbled up inside her, lighting up her face. “So… you believe me now?”

From the moment he’d mentioned the Registry Office, Harrison hadn’t taken his eyes off her, watching every nuance of her reaction. When he caught the joy in her gaze, the tension in his jaw finally eased.

“Go on, then,” he said quietly, brushing her cheek with his fingers.
