My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422
“What a beauty! Elliot has a good eye!”
“Of course, he does! Elliot has always been the most good-looking child to us. Naturally, he should go out with a beautiful woman.”
“I don’t agree!” Suddenly, a male voice sounded behind the lady.
Turning around, the lady couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the sight of Nigel. Nigel raised his chin and questioned, “Which part of me doesn’t win over Elliot? I was obviously the best looking when we were young.”
“You’re right. You’re the most handsome!” The lady quickly changed her words, eliciting some laughter among the crowd.
Even Anastasia was amused by their interaction. Based on Nigel’s looks, he was indeed not inferior to Elliot. However, in terms of his stance, Elliot was more domineering than he was.
“Anastasia, you should be the judge. Who is more good-looking between Elliot and me?”
Initially, Anastasia was just a spectator watching them. Now that Nigel had thrown the question at her, she could only cough awkwardly as she replied, “You.”
After saying that, Anastasia sensed a pair of eyes filled with resentment staring at her.
“Anastasia has good taste.” With that, Nigel reached out his hand to Anastasia, suggesting, “Come on, let’s go over there. I have something to tell you.”
However, the moment he finished his sentence, Elliot shot daggers at him. Nigel immediately sensed the deathly stare and realized that he couldn’t treat Anastasia casually anymore. He couldn’t even get involved with her personal affairs now that she belonged to someone else.
“What is it that you cannot talk in front of me?” Elliot glared at Nigel to prove his presence.
Anastasia covered her mouth while chuckling, but Nigel huffed while saying, “You petty man. Can’t I talk to your girlfriend for a little while?”
“No!” rejected Elliot coldly.
“Be the judge, Anastasia. He was the one who interrupted us when I tried to pursue you. I was kind enough to let you go, but look at how he’s treating me now!” Nigel started whining.
Anastasia laughed out loud at his antics. “I’m not meddling in your fight. You should solve it between yourselves.”
“Let’s go and greet Grandma.” Upon landing an arm on her waist, Elliot dragged Anastasia away from Nigel.
Since he was left without a choice, Nigel tagged along because he was bored. Everyone who attended the banquet today was mostly the seniors, and all the juniors didn’t manage to attend.
Currently, Harriet was sitting in the hall chatting away with the other old madams. When she saw Elliot and Anastasia walking up to her, her eyes were instantly filled with tenderness and affection.
“Come here, Anastasia. Take a seat,” she invited gently.
With that. Anastasia took the seat next to her. Harriet looked at her with guilt and apology “Didn’t you bring Jared with you?”
“Jared went to my father’s place.”
“Oh! I quite like that child. He’s so adorable.” Whenever Harriet thought of the child, she immediately saw young Elliot in him.
Just then, the housekeeper requested to talk to Elliot outside.
“Young Master Elliot, I have something to tell you. Miss Hayley is here.”
Elliot’s face immediately darkened. “Who let her in?”
“Miss Hayley was the earliest to arrive, but I don’t know who informed her,” the housekeeper uttered helplessly.
There was a hint of coolness that flashed in Elliot’s eyes. Who was the one who obtained the information and relayed it to Hayley? There was only one person who knew about it, and that was his personal assistant, Daniel.
It seemed that Hayley even had the means to buy information from people around him.
“Where is she?” Elliot questioned indifferently.
“She’s at the tea house in the garden and hasn’t been invited to the hall yet. Do you want to see her?”
After glancing at Anastasia, who was busy chatting with his grandmother, he walked toward the tea house in the garden.
On this side, Hayley had been waiting to be invited to the main hall. However, it was Elliot who greeted her instead with a long face.
Hayley was in utter shock. Flustered, she almost broke the teacup in her hand. “How did you know I was here, Elliot?”
Ever since he knew that Hayley was the cause of Anastasia’s misery back then, he didn’t have any feelings for her anymore.
“This is my family’s gathering. There’s no reason for you to attend.” Elliot stared at her coldly.
