My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724

It was early morning, and the sky had just cleared for a while before becoming overcast, immediately after which it began to drizzle. Today was the day Harriet would be laid to rest. At about 9:00 AM, everyone who came to see her off on her last journey arrived at the cemetery on time. 

Anastasia was wearing a black dress with a white flower on her chest. With a dignified and graceful expression, she stood next to Elliot, whereas her two assistants stood one meter behind her. Sophia and Grace were both dressed in black while standing and holding umbrellas. 

The Presgraves came one after another. The first ones to arrive were Liam and Kendra, who came with their daughter Lorelai and their son Lewis. As the husband and wife spoke a few words to Elliot with profound grief, Lorelai turned her gaze to the latter with sympathy. Seems like the past few days have been tough on him, she thought. 

Elliot‘s expression had a hint of grief and unconcealed weariness to it. 

Inwardly, Lorelai still loved him. After studying his face for quite a while, she sensed a gaze upon her, which alerted her at once. It was Anastasia, though she looked amicable without warning her too much. “Thank you for coming, Lorelai,” she said to her. 

Lorelai nodded before walking toward Liam. Soon after that, another faction in the Presgrave Family arrived as well. Coming with their two sons–Jacob, their eldest son, and their ten–year–old youngest son–Nolan and his wife were followed by his supporters, who were all branch members of the family. 

“Sorry for your loss, Elliot.” 

“Thank you, Uncle Nolan.” Elliot nodded. 

Seeing Sophia at a glance with his sharp eyes, Jacob was astounded for a few seconds; he never expected to see the woman he liked at the funeral. 

Sophia saw him, too, and she gave him a look out of courtesy as their eyes met briefly. 

Jacob didn‘t like the funeral at first, but he suddenly found it interesting after seeing that Sophia was present. Little did he think he would meet this pretty and adorable junior again. 

The next ones to arrive were Harriet‘s friends, all four of whom were old and had to sit on wheelchairs and be wheeled here by their families. Elliot and Anastasia voluntarily came up to them and chatted with them. 

Just then, a black SUV stopped by the side of the road nearby, upon which a man holding a black umbrella stepped out of the vehicle with a bouquet of white flowers in his arms. He looked lean and slender in the drizzling rain. Then, his umbrella was raised slightly, revealing his young and handsome features. It was Arthur. 

Elliot came up to Arthur and greeted him before the two buddies gave each other a wordless hug. 

Sophia seemed both surprised and unsurprised to see Arthur here. 

Jacob felt incredibly restless when he turned his head and saw Arthur. Why is this Weiss guy everywhere? 

Lorelai also noticed the young man standing next to Elliot. His aura, which was similar to Elliot‘s, and his equally handsome appearance caused her to wonder about his identity. I think I met him last time at the wedding, too.
