My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649

That was why even if she would earn infamy for what she would do in future, she didn‘t mind as she was willing to do it for Elliot. All these years when she was abroad, all she could think of was him. She would search for information regarding him and whenever she saw him on the financial news, she would be happy for the longest time.

In the evening when night fell, the evening banquet just got underway. Anastasia was dressed in a white fitted mermaid dress which accentuated her attractive curves. At the banquet, Elliot a few tables and chatted with the guests. A few of the major shareholders from the Presgrave Group were seated next to him. On the other hand, Anastasia made eye contact with Sophia while she was seated, and both of them smiled as their eyes met. 

Since Lorelei didn‘t have the appetite, she chatted with her peers while her attention was on Elliot, who was seated not far from her. Tonight, he was dressed in a black fitted suit and as he sat among older men, he exuded a calm disposition which didn‘t match his age. He was all smiles that night and seeing him smile made her heart flutter. 

Lorelai then turned her attention to Anastasia, who was chatting with Harriet. She was paying close attention to what Harriet was saying and when the elderly woman replied to her, the way she looked at Anastasia was full of love. Lorelai then thought that what her father said might be true. Back then when Anastasia‘s mother rescued Elliot, she had already lost the battle since the position of Mrs. Presgrave was fated to be Ansatasia‘s. 

Just then, Lorelai noticed that Elliot got up to answer a call. She then seamlessly took her phone out, pretending to make a call. 

“You guys start eating first. I‘m going to make a call,” she whispered to her peer who was seated next to her. After that, she stood up and walked toward the door that Elliot exited. 

The night view of the garden was enchanting. Paired with the vast sea view, it was a view worth admiring. After Elliot ended the brief call, he turned around to enter the hall. 

Suddenly, he bumped into someone and immediately took a few steps back. Seeing that it was Lorelai, he smiled and greeted, “Lorelai.” 

“I‘m so sorry, Elliot. I hope I didn‘t startle you! I was here to make a call.” Lorelai apologized. 

“Not at all.” 

With the phone in her hand, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him from head to toe. “Elliot, you looked dashing tonight!” 

“Thank you,” Elliot replied with a smile. 

Just then, she got close to him and said, “Elliot, your tie is slanted. Let me...” 

As she reached her hands out trying to adjust his tie, Elliot took a step back dexterously and said, “Lorelai, I can do it myself.” 

Right after, he adjusted his tie and walked past her before saying, “I‘ll be going in” 

She was so nervous that she was holding her breath while a sense of astonishment flashed across her eyes. At the same time, she was disappointed. 

When Elliot entered the hall, he went back to his seat and sat next to Anastasia. Knowing that he had been drinking the entire night, she placed some food on his plate and urged him to have something to eat. 

Elliot then smiled and ate as instructed. Harriet, who was sitting next to them, was happy to see that. If she wasn‘t around next time, she knew that someone would be there to take good care of this grandchild of hers.
