Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 609

"Just do it," Harrison said coldly.

Downstairs, Logan held his phone, his eyes instinctively landing on Anastasia as she bounded down the stairs, her face alight with joy, pulling Benson along with her. He instantly understood his employer's meaning. This wasn't about protecting her from danger; it was about monitoring what she was up to.

"...Yes, Mr. Lancaster."

Anastasia reached the bottom of the stairs, called for Juliet, and the three of them headed for the long-unused game room. Rosewood Manor hadn't originally had one; Harrison had it built after she arrived, thinking it was something a girl her age might enjoy. But games were only fun with company, and Harrison was always too busy with work to play with her, so she usually just played on her phone, leaving the room practically untouched.

But now, finally, she had a chance to use it.

Logan followed them in discreetly, flicking on the lights and activating the ventilation and climate control. "It's been a while since anyone's been in here, Madam. It might be a bit stuffy. Would you like to wait outside for a few minutes?"

Anastasia took a breath. "No, it's fine. It's not that bad." She settled cross-legged on the carpet with her cousins and asked Logan to bring them some snacks and drinks.

Logan nodded. As he reached the door, he heard Benson ask, with no attempt to be subtle, "Did you marry him of your own free will?"

Logan froze. *So that's why Mr. Lancaster is so on guard.* No wonder.

Anastasia was touched but also found the situation amusing. She met his intense gaze and spoke with heartfelt sincerity. "Cousin, I truly do like him... no, I think I love him. I'm with him not because I'm afraid of his power or because I'm enduring some hardship. On the contrary, being his wife makes me incredibly happy."

"In fact," she said, her eyes shining like stars, her entire face radiating a sweet, undeniable joy, "marrying him is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

Benson stared at her, mesmerized. The pure happiness in her expression was impossible to fake. After a long moment, he looked away, grabbed a game controller, and said nothing more.

Outside the door, Harrison, who had been summoned by a tip from Logan, had heard every single word of Anastasia's confession. A slow smile spread across his lips, melting the ice in his eyes and revealing a depth of soul-stirring tenderness.
