His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Mr. Larsen Wants to Try Something New

As she got out of the car, Elianna kept her head down and avoided direct eye contact with Jefferson.

"Jeff."

Asher lowered his voice and sounded deeper in the vast parking lot.

Jefferson held the cigarette between his fingers and asked with a smirk, "Asher, weren't you supposed to send Anna home and head back to Eclipse? Are you being lazy?"

After getting busted, Asher who was still young couldn't remain composed and stammered as he tried to explain.

"Yeah, well, Elianna said she was hungry, so she asked me to join her for a meal."

Jefferson naturally shifted his gaze to Elianna and asked, "Is that so, Anna?"

Elianna didn't want to say anything else, so she simply nodded.

As Jefferson looked at Elianna, Asher also observed Jefferson with growing suspicion in his eyes.

The atmosphere between them became increasingly peculiar. So to ease the tension, Darren had to intervene.

"The parking lot isn't an ideal place for talks. Let's go upstairs."

Thus, these three, each with their own thoughts and intentions, entered the elevator one by one.

Jefferson, the calmest among them, was the first to enter the elevator, while Darren followed closely beside him and stood beside him.

Elianna and Asher stood ahead of them.

When she couldn't see what was happening behind her but felt the gaze of scrutiny from behind, Elianna felt on edge and kept staring at the ascending floor numbers.

She was hoping to reach their destination faster.

"Ding."

As the elevator doors opened, Elianna hurriedly walked out, almost as if she were running away.

When she was led to a private room, she finally regained her composure.

It was at this moment that she realized how grave the current crisis was.

Now that Asher knew of her betrayal, he wouldn't accept her as his fiancée given that he was Mr. Asher of the Larsen family.

If he chose to call off the engagement, the Gentry family wouldn't let her get away with this.

If she was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Larsen family, she would be of no use to the Gentry family.

Then her own family...

No, she couldn't allow Asher to break off the engagement.

With these thoughts, she didn't notice that there was already someone inside the private room.

"Anna?"

After she finished pouring the water, she naturally placed the glass on Asher's side.

Asher, who had been silent all the way, didn't respond to her nice gesture and simply pushed the glass back.

However, he didn't control his strength, so the glass toppled over and water was spilled all over Elianna.

"Gosh!" Nola noticed this and quickly handed a napkin to Elianna, saying, "Wipe it off."

"Thank you."

Elianna felt bitter as she was wiping the water on her. She thought that it was not her day today.

Fortunately, the glass rolled on the table, and only a small amount of water had been spilled on her.

As she was busy drying her clothes, the appetizers arrived.

Nola rolled up her sleeves and elegantly served Jefferson the escargot. She said, "Jeff, you can continue enjoying your smoke; let me handle this."

As a woman raised and trained by the Gentry family, Nola made even the process of extracting snail meat seem elegant.

She selected the appropriate fork from the array of cutlery, pulled the meat from shells, and put the plate back in front of Jefferson.

Jefferson raised an eyebrow, briefly glanced at Elianna who was sitting across from him and looked back at Nola.

"That's very considerate of you."
