Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

“Uh… Y-Yes… I’m free tomorrow!” Anastasia replied while glancing at Elliot, who was driving

“I know that you’re usually occupied at night because you need to stay home to keep an eye on your child, so that’s not a good time for you. That’s why I asked you out in the afternoon. That’s decided then. Let’s have lunch together tomorrow.”

“Sure thing, Old Madam Presgrave.” Anastasia naturally agreed to it. After all, this was the first time that Harriet had asked her out for a meal, so it would be quite rude to reject it.

“Okay, I’ll contact you tomorrow. You must be busy right now. That’s all, then.”

“Sure, see you tomorrow.” After Anastasia had ended her sentence, she waited for Harriet to hang up the phone and she finally heaved a sigh of relief. At that moment, she glanced at Elliot and asked, “Do you know why your grandma asked me out for a meal? Does she actually just want to have a chat with me?”

“It’s quite likely that she wants to talk to you about the matter between you and Nigel.” Elliot kept his eyes in front of him and his handsome face remained expressionless.

“What? Why?” Anastasia blinked her eyes in confusion.

“That’s because Nigel proposed to you the last time and she’s taken it seriously. It’s quite likely that she wants to talk to you about the wedding preparation.”

“What?! Are you being serious?” Anastasia was indeed quite shocked upon hearing Elliot’s words. Has Old Madam Presgrave actually taken the proposal seriously?

“This is the problem that you created yourself, so shouldn’t you be prepared for the consequences?” Elliot coldly snorted in response.

Meanwhile, Anastasia bit her red lip. Indeed, everyone had taken that proposal seriously. However, no one realized that she had privately explained the situation to Nigel.

“Then what should I do? I never intended to marry Nigel.” Anastasia heaved a resigned sigh. After all, she had no intention of disrupting Nigel’s marriage prospects.

“Anastasia, you have to be frank here. How do you actually feel about Nigel? Do you

like him or not?” Coincidentally, Elliot’s car came to a stop at the traffic light and he directed his deep gaze intently at her.

At that moment, Anastasia bit her lower lip. “I only think of him as a friend. I like him for his witty and amusing personality. I also like the way he maintains such a carefree and relaxed lifestyle, but I never thought of marrying him. I like him, but I don’t love him.”
