Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 678

There was one person, however, whom she had yet to meet: her mother-in-law, Harrison’s mother, Marina.

The maids had told her that Marina had moved out of the estate after Harrison left for Fairhaven, which was how Susan and her children had been able to move in. Marina hadn't been there for their arrival, which Anastasia had attributed to the suddenness of their return. But why wasn't she here for the family banquet tonight?

Just as she was about to ask Harrison, the patriarch called him into his study. Whatever they were discussing, it took over an hour, and Harrison still hadn't emerged. Feeling sleepy, Anastasia went back to their room alone.

She had just washed up and was drifting off to sleep when she heard the door open. A man’s steady, deliberate footsteps approached, stopping beside the bed. A familiar scent enveloped her as he leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her eyelashes and gently brushing a stray strand of hair from her face.

“Asleep?”

Anastasia was still hovering on the edge of consciousness. The kiss tickled, and she rubbed her eyes, becoming a little more awake.

“You’re back,” she murmured, a soft smile gracing her lips as she saw his handsome face. She instinctively reached out for a hug.

A gentle warmth filled his dark eyes. He leaned down to embrace her, then placed another kiss on her brow. “I haven’t showered yet,” he whispered, his voice a low, alluring rumble. “Be good and lie down.”

He carefully tucked the covers around her before heading to the bathroom.

Anastasia was determined to ask him about Marina, so she fought to stay awake. When Harrison came out, he found her struggling to keep her eyes open. A silent laugh escaped him as he slid into bed and pulled her into his arms. “Why are you still up when you’re this tired?”
