Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Nigel held the ring up and passed it to her. “Just take this ring, then. I ordered it especially for you.”

“I can’t. It’s too expensive. I can’t take it! You should keep it for yourself! It might come in handy in the future.” She rejected him with a smile on her face.

“You always do this. I just want to give you the best, but you always reject me. Can you be a little more superficial and money-minded, Anastasia? You should at least enjoy it when people give you expensive stuff.” Nigel gazed at her with a rather exasperated look on his face.

She smiled as she leaned back on the couch. She was surprised to realize that she had been sweating a little. I was probably too nervous when I was on stage. That makes sense since there were so many people in the crowd.

Right then, Nigel’s phone began to ring. He held it up to see that it was a call from his dad. “Hey, Dad.”

“Where are you?” Jonathan’s voice sounded rather stern.

“I’m in one of the private rooms, Dad. Is anything the matter?” he asked.

“A marriage proposal is a huge thing. Shouldn’t you have discussed it with us first?”

“I’m sorry that I made the decision on my own, but I’m sure you guys know how much I like Anastasia,” Nigel replied in a rather apologetic tone.

“We’ll talk about this in the future. Your grandmother’s looking for you now, so you should go to her!” Jonathan ordered.

“Okay,” Nigel replied before turning to Anastasia. “My grandmother is looking for me, Anastasia. Let’s go meet her together. She’ll love you.”

Anastasia didn’t know what to say. I think Nigel doesn’t know that I’ve met his grandmother before. “You go ahead! I need some time to calm down. I was too nervous earlier,” she said with a smile.

“Did I scare you?” Nigel hurried over with a bottle of water. “Here. Have something to drink.” Anastasia twisted the bottle cap open and sipped on her water before urging him to go to Harriet. “Hurry up! Go look for your grandmother!”
