My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 648

Chapter 648

Meanwhile in one of the villas, the atmosphere was sullen. An elderly man was seen sitting in front of his daughter and consoling her. “Don‘t get discouraged. Your opportunity will come.” 

“Dad, back then if I had returned earlier, by now, you would be attending Elliot and my wedding instead of his and Anastasia‘s.” Lorelai glared at her father with hatred in her eyes. 

Hearing that, the old man‘s gaze darkened and asked, “Are you still blaming me for it? I‘ve already told you that Old Madam Presgrave would never allow Elliot to marry someone from the Presgrave Family. She has her guard up against us.” 

“What if Elliot fell in love with me and only wanted to marry me?” Lorelai held her forehead as she looked agonized. She didn‘t have to conceal her true feelings in front of her father. 

“I know that it has been hard for you to put a smile on your face while attending the wedding. If both of you are really together, Old Madam Presgrave will think of a way to separate you. By then, we would have lost all of our opportunities.” 

“If I came back and stayed by his side, I would have been able to win his heart, she said in frustration while she held back her tears. 

“That‘s enough, don‘t reveal your emotions to anyone. I have always wanted to have a place within the Presgrave Group‘s board of directors. However, whenever I bring it up. Old Madam Presgrave would reject my request. Although our family has been doing well thus far, we are nothing compared to the Presgrave Family. They own the most lucrative real estates around the world and if they commission a project to us, our net worth will be more than doubled. But she just refused to allow our family to have a stake in their real estate. That‘s why we can only rely on you, since your brother is still young.” 

“Dad, say no more. I‘ll still proceed as planned.” Lorelai dried her tears and calmed herself down. “I will look for an opportunity to stay by Elliot‘s side. When the timing is right, I will help you to complete the plan.” 

“You‘ll have to befriend Anastasia to get her trust. That way, you will be able to stay by Elliot‘s side frequently. We will wait until the day he has fallen for you to bring up our requests. I believe he won‘t turn us down.” 

“I know what to do.” All these years when Lorelai was overseas, she learnt that sincerity was the best disguise, and that she was good at making friends with her sincerity. 

Soon after she came out from the house, she took a stroll in the garden. She recalled how her parents would doll her up like a princess since young and they would send her over to the Presgrave Residence for play dates. Every time before she went over, Lorelai would be dressed nicely.Her etiquette and upbringing were all cultivated by her mother. She clearly remembered the time when she left grains of rice on the table while she was dining at the Presgrave Residence, her mother gave her a beating after she got home because of that.
