My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 Thank You for Taking Care of My Son

“I can’t sleep because I am too excited! What a joyful night this is.” After saying that, Harriet looked over at her grandson carrying the sleeping child. Jared would always remind her of the wonderful time she took care of a young Elliot.

“We will be leaving now, Grandma. Don’t go to bed too late,” Elliot said before he carried Jared out the house with Anastasia in tow. After he carried Jared to the car, the young boy leaned against his mother and continued to sleep.

Jared didn’t wake up all the way back to the villa, and it was Elliot, again, who carried him back to the bedroom. It was rather inconvenient for Anastasia to hold her son with her high-heels and evening gown on, so she changed into her slippers before she went back to her son’s room.

As soon as she went in, her heart seemed to knot with worry at the sight of Elliot half-squatting beside Jared’s bed as he took off the boy’s shoes and socks with a gentle expression on his face.

Hayley’s words earlier had cut her like a knife.

There is not one man, especially someone with a status like Elliot’s, who likes raising someone else’s child.

Would Elliot still treat Jared like his own if she were to get married to him and not give birth to another child?

As much as Anastasia didn’t want to think about it, it was a real issue that had to be addressed.

Just as she was starting to feel suffocated by the unanswered question, Elliot walked out of the boy’s room before he closed the door behind him.

He quickly noticed the solemn look on her face as she stood under a wall light, so he asked, “Why are you standing here zoning out?”

“Nothing. Let’s go to bed earlier!” She started to turn around and leave after saying that. Just as Elliot was about to grab onto her, his phone rang, prompting him to pick up the call after taking a glance at the caller ID. “Hello?”

“President Presgrave, there is an urgent online video conference that requires your immediate participation.” Rey’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Elliot took a look at the time that indicated it was already 11 PM, and he said to Anastasia, “I am going to a meeting. You can go ahead and sleep without me.”

With a slightly heartbroken gaze, she threw a glimpse at him and hummed in agreement.

Elliot then went to the study room on the second floor, whereas Anastasia lay in bed awake, her head constantly replaying the painful words Hayley had spat in her face.

Being insomniac was rough and in order to pass the time, Anastasia took a look at her phone, only to unconsciously jump up when she realized that she had been awake for two hours.
