My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 625

Chapter 625
“Alright then. Let’s talk another time.”
As soon as Martha hung up the phone from the other end, Arthur glanced at the phone in his hand. Meanwhile, Sophia sat on the couch like a lady waiting to attend a ball.
The evening gown she had on was a dress that she had spent a fortune on abroad and the quality of the gown was impeccable.
Since young, she had been brought up with tender, loving care. As she lacked nothing at all, she was used to the finer things in life.
“Are you going to seduce some man by dressing up?” Arthur scornfully remarked.
She took the opportunity to jokingly reply, “You’re the only man here right now, though.”
In response, Arthur scoffed, “Well, you’re not pretty enough to seduce me.”
At that moment, Sophia’s face flushed slightly, and she could feel a shameful feeling wash over her. If it wasn’t because she owed him the necklace, she would never have to endure such humiliation and endure his taunts.
He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the sunlight as a ray of sunlight shone on his face. At that moment, his delicate features were perfectly illuminated.
Sophia was shocked upon seeing that.
He was too handsome and at that moment, as he basked under the sunlight, there was an indescribable regal look to him that was quite enchanting yet seemingly impersonal.
This was the type of man that usually appeared in novels and was hardly ever seen in real life. She thought, His existence on this earth must be to make women feel inferior.
She exhaled moodily and felt that everything she did seemed to be pointless because there was nothing she could do that would attract his attention.
“Well… I was just joking earlier on. I’m not interested in you,” She smiled sheepishly and got up to get out of the room. Subsequently, she went to the garden and remained there by herself.
Sophia found the air quite suffocating when she was in the same area as Arthur.

At that moment, there was a notification from the phone number used to contact the guests. There would be a ball organized in the main hall tonight, so the guests were invited to enjoy the glorious night.
Since she had left her phone number, she received the message too. At that moment, she felt quite excited. Can I attend the ball?
Meanwhile, on the spacious deck overlooking the sea, Anastasia came out to look for her son. She bumped into a group of people and it was such a coincidence that the old man was the person who had gotten into a spat with Harriet in the morning.
at Anastasia walking toward him and greeted her kindly, “Anastasia, you’ve worked
hard.”
“Hi, Granduncle Henry. Nice to meet you.” Anastasia greeted him politely.
The other people by his side of the younger or same generation greeted her politely too. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Presgrave.”
She smiled and nodded. These people here were this elderly man’s younger generation. There were strict rules to follow in the Presgrave Family, which meant that there were rules in terms of addressing people as well.
Anastasia was here to seek her son Jared as Nigel had said that he would bring Jared to enjoy the beach nearby.
She could sense Henry sizing her up, and there was a scheming and speculative look that was quite evident in his eyes.
Anastasia noticed everything, but she didn’t show it. She merely greeted them with a smile before leaving
As soon as she walked off, the middle-aged man next to the old man revealed a smile. “Dad, once she takes control of the family, it will be much easier for us to enter the Presgrave Group.”
“We’ve got to be patient and wait till she marries into the family. Harriet will hand over control of the family to her soon enough,” the old man reminded his son.
“I’ve waited so many years,” his son complained unhappily, “If it wasn’t for Harriet being in the way, I would have become one of the shareholders of Presgrave Group a long time ago.”
“Darling, there’s no need to rush things. How much longer can Harriet remain alive anyway?” A well-dressed woman adorned with jewelry spoke up as she clutched his arms.
Meanwhile, Nigel was building a sandcastle with Jared on the shore of the clean beach. Nigel was quite childish and he had fun building a large sandcastle with Jared, which left the young boy just as elated.
“Mommy, look at this. I built this with Uncle Nigel.”
Anastasia walked over with a smile. “That’s great.”
As soon as she said that, she quickly took out her phone to record this moment for her son. The smile on Nigel’s face widened too.
“Daddy!” Jared pointed in the direction of the fence close by and he waved to Elliot, who was busy entertaining the guests from abroad.
Anastasia turned her head and saw her charming husband. At the same time, Elliot glanced at nes from afar. Although there was a slight distance separating them, his loving, tender look seemed to be meant only for her.
