My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266 She Would Love a Man With All Her Heart

They had a hearty dinner that night, and by dinnertime, Jared was sweating buckets from having so much fun. Seeing so, Elliot ruffled the child’s hair affectionately and asked, “Jared, do you like my place?”

“I do!” Jared said as he stuffed his mouth full like a chipmunk.

Anastasia couldn’t help chucking under her breath in response. Great, Jared likes his house and his food!

After dinner, she brought Jared upstairs for a shower. The refreshing bath and a blow-dry of his short hair made the little guy even more handsome.

Anastasia had packed some Legos for him, so Jared entertained himself with them on the sofa in his bedroom. Meanwhile, she went back to her room and stood in front of the French windows that overlooked the night cityscape. A stunning light show was on display within the forest of tall buildings, making it a sight to behold.

She went to check on Jared at around 9.30PM and she couldn’t help chuckling because the little guy had fallen asleep on the couch with the Lego bricks in his hands; his stomach was flat on the couch and his legs were touching the floor.

With that, she carried him to the bed, tucked him in, adjusted the air conditioning, gave him a peck on his forehead, and headed out before leaving the bracket light by the door on.

Right as she came out, Elliot happened to be walking toward her from the study and he asked in a soft voice, “Has Jared fallen asleep?”

“Yeah, he has,” Anastasia whispered as she looked up at him. A hint of weariness enveloped Elliot after a day’s work, making him look exceptionally lazy instead of the usual aloof guy that he was.

“You should turn in early too, President Presgrave,” she said warmly before entering her room.

However, just as she closed the door, Elliot pushed it open and she couldn’t help being stumped while he entered her room and carried a hint of intimidation with him.

Anastasia’s heart skipped a beat reflexively, for he would always behave recklessly back in her home and now, they were at his place. He hadn’t stuck to this habit still, had he?!

“Do you need something from me, President Presgrave?” Anastasia asked, feigning calmness.

“You haven’t said goodnight to me.” It was just a bloody random excuse.
