My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320
Anastasia could feel her heart clenching tighter and tighter in the darkness. Then. something warm swam in her eyes whereby tears were gushing forth uncontrollably in the next second.
Before she could react, tears rolled down unexpectedly and landed on her knees. – Staring at the watermark on her gray pajamas, she froze for a few seconds.
Why? I never cared about him, but why am I crying for of this b*st*rd?
However, when she realized that once the tears started, there was no stop to it. Her mind was overwhelmed with Elliot’s words and his kisses; the moments when her heart throbbed and her face blushed because of him. Elliot, you b*stard. I have never seen anyone worse than you. You are the worse b*stard ever.
Anastasia grabbed a tissue and wiped her tears harshly. She didn’t want to even shed a tear for him, but her tears seemed to have a mind of their own.
By the time she finally returned to her senses, the tissues were all gone. So, she bit her lips as she was slightly annoyed. Look at me now. I am behaving like a whinger! Who gave him the right to turn me into this different person?
She cried nonstop that night until she eventually fell asleep at midnight.
The following day was Saturday. After Anastasia finished making breakfast for her son, she contacted her father and asked Francis whether he would mind looking after Jared for the evening as she needed to attend a dinner party, to which he agreed without hesitation.
While Anastasia was preparing breakfast, she decided to take Jared to the oceanarium later that day. She could forget about everything else whenever she was with her son.
Meanwhile, Aliona was getting ready at her apartment. As tonight was the company’s welcoming party for her, she needed to look her best. Her custom-made evening gown had arrived in the morning and with its hint of sensuality, the silver-white evening gown was exquisite and charming.
Tonight, she had another purpose other than looking beautiful. Such an occasion was the ideal opportunity for her and Elliot to take their relationship further. As a result, she intended to get drunk later and let him take her home.
When Aliona closed her eyes and thought of his stunning face, a tingling sensation
spread across her body. Since childhood, she was strictly disciplined by her podfather thus she was still a virgin. Aliona felt blessed that her first time could be devoted to a man like Elliot.
Even if the company’s scandals were fake, she would make it happen sooner or later.
It was 4.00PM when Anastasia and Jared returned home from their trip to the oceanarium. Francis had already arrived and was waiting for Jared with toys, snacks and fruits.
“Grandpa!” As soon as Jared entered the door, he ran into Francis’ arms and acted coquettishly.
“My little pumpkin,” Francis whispered as he hugged Jared. As if he was hugging the future’s hope, the fondness that he had toward Jared flowed from Francis’ eyes and heart.
“Dad, I’ll leave Jared to you. I might be home late in the evening,” Anastasia said to her father.
“Don’t worry. I got this. I’ll stay at home with Jared and we won’t go anywhere.” Francis didn’t want to go through the previous incident again as he had developed a trauma because of it.
Not long after she returned to her room, Anastasia received a call from Felicia. The party was scheduled for 6.00PM and the venue was a posh downtown restaurant, which had been entirely reserved for Aliona’s welcome party.
“Anastasia, please dress beautifully,” Felicia reminded Anastasia before hanging up the phone as if Anastasia could save anything tonight by wearing something lovely.
Nope. Even if I were to wear something nice, it’s only for my own pleasure and has nothing to do with anyone else. What am I going to do with a stunning dress? To win over Elliot’s heart?
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Anastasia carefully examined her face. She was the pinnacle of female beauty at the age of twenty-four; her face was full of collagen and she had soft red lips with ink-black silky hair. She was stunning even without makeup, except for her slightly swollen eyebags.
After ten minutes of meticulously putting on the makeup, the young girl in the mirror had turned into an ethereal beauty from the perfect light blush, curly hair and rosy lips. In the end, Anastasia finished the look with a pair of earrings that perfectly complimented her sweet oval face.
