My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 They Became Closer

“Elliot, I remember holding you in my arms as a child many years ago. More than two decades had passed, and you had grown up to become the head of the Presgrave Family. Now I’m so proud of you!” Using their family ties, the man attempted to gain Elliot’s sympathy. He then continued pleading, “Do this uncle of yours a favor, Elliot. Let me see your grandma; I need just ten minutes.”

“Let me say it again. Get out.” Elliot’s tone was cold and unforgiving.

“You…” The man was suppressing his rage.

Despite hiding under the window outside, Anastasia could feel the tension inside the villa.

“Do you really want to be this heartless, Elliot? I’m still one of the Presgraves and, on top of that, your uncle! How can you be so disrespectful to me?”

“The Presgrave Family has no such person. To me, you’re a nobody,” Elliot replied flatly.

“Well. What you said today would be etched in my mind. You’ll definitely regret it!” Riley yelled, followed by the slamming sound of the door.

The sound startled Anastasia, who was hiding outside, and consequently, she stepped on a dried leaf, making a small rustling sound.

“Come out now, whoever you are.” Elliot’s uninterested voice rang out from within.

She had wanted to leave, but she was so stupefied by his words that her heart raced again. As a result, she had no choice but to respond, “It’s me, Anastasia.”

Following her words, a figure appeared by the window. Elliot’s voice softened as he looked at her in surprise. “Why are you here?”

“If I said I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, would you believe me?” she asked embarrassingly. The situation was just too awkward for her.

To that, he gave her a gentle smile. “Of course I do. Come in!”

She went in through the main door and discovered that he was the only one in the villa. Sitting on the sofa, he lit a cigarette and started smoking. Clearly, he wasn’t in a good mood.
