My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304
Elliot’s eyes gradually turned dark as he listened to Anastasia generously sending him off to another woman. With his arms crossed, he stared at her and asked, “Come again?”
She immediately lost her fighting spirit and began stammering, “I am only doing this for your own good! You need a woman, and coincidentally, Miss Dora fancies you—”
“I do need a woman,” he unhurriedly interrupted, “but you are the only woman I want.” He then slowly approached her and eventually came to a stop in front of her. “Hurry up and give yourself to me if you really care about me.”
Anastasia unconsciously tensed up and she only let out an embarrassed laugh as she told him, “I hope you have a good time tonight.”
However, he still looked rather unhappy.
As Elliot turned around to leave, he casually threw these words out: “I will come and look for you later”.
“Oh, you don’t have to-” She was just about to rebuke when he went out and had closed the door behind him.
She went to sit down in her chair. She was already not in the mood to work in the first place, but her head was not an absolute mess after her conversation with Elliot.
Right at this moment, her phone rang and she picked up the call after seeing that it was from Francis. “Hello, Dad.”
“Do you have time tonight, Anastasia?”
“Yes! Is something the matter, Dad?”
“I want you to have dinner with Alex tonight. He has something to tell you about the company. You can leave little Jared with me.”
“Dad, did something happen to the company?” a worried Anastasia asked.
“Nothing is wrong. It is a date, then. Alex has booked a table at a restaurant. I will go to your place and keep Jared company tonight.”
Confused by the vague answer, she was about to say something again, but the call had
already been hung up at the other end. She knew that her father had the intention to match her and Alex together. But isn’t it more awkward the harder we try to force it? she thought with a sigh.
Anastasia received another call from Francis around 6.00PM when he informed that he was waiting to pick Jared up at the end of a street. When she saw him, she stopped her car and brought her son to her father.
Alex’s car was parked nearby. After Anastasia had safely passed her son to his grandfather, Francis reassured her, “Leave Jared to me. You young guns can go ahead!”
“Dad, why don’t we go together?”
“I want to spend some alone time with Jared. You both can go now! Let Alex talk to you about the company while you two have your dinner.”
Alex opened the door to the passenger seat and he invited her with a smile, “Miss Tillman, please hop on!”
Having no choice but to accept the arrangement, she said to Francis, “Dad, you can just find a place to have something to eat with Jared!”
“Okay, I got it.” The older man waved her off.
She started feeling somewhat self-conscious as she and Alex sat in the quiet car parked at the end of the street.
“Mr. Hunter,” she started. “Thank you for helping my father all this time”
“Oh no, I am grateful that President Tillman recognizes and acknowledges my ability. That is why he lets me handle the company’s businesses.” Alex’s eyes were filled with anticipation and happiness. It seemed to be his and Anastasia’s first time spending time alone together.
He had booked a table at an extremely romantic restaurant. Anastasia placed a few orders and Alex added a few others on top of that afterward. He noted how flawlessly beautiful she looked under the restaurant lights.
She had a subtle kind of beauty that made her comfortable to look at. His heart was pounding in his chest as he ate with her. He seemed to have fallen in love with her at first sight.
The only problem that stopped Alex from confessing his feelings was the difference
in their statuses. Still, he couldn’t hide the fiery emotions in his gaze as he looked at Anastasia.
“Miss Tillman, President Tillman has informed me that he wants to pass the company to you. You can ask me anything about the company if you need help understanding. I will go into detail about it with you.”
“Dad is a healthy man. It still isn’t time for me to take over the company. We don’t have to rush into this.” Alas, she still didn’t have the confidence to handle her father’s company.
“Miss Tillman, President Tillman hasn’t been in his best condition ever since his hospitalization that time. I think he has hopes for you to start preparing to take over the company.”
Anastasia immediately became worried when she heard his words. “Is that so? How has my father been?”
“The president has been to the hospital a few times these days. He has been complaining about a discomfort in his chest that makes him feel stuffy. The doctor has also told him to take it easy, Miss Tillman,” Alex answered before he sighed. “Your father really needs you.”
