Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170 

Anastasia reached out a hand to ruffle Jared’s hair and spoke in a relaxed tone. “I don’t need anyone else but you. I’m not going to marry anyone again in this lifetime.”

That was because she didn’t want to put a bet on an uncertain future. She just wanted to raise her son in a stable environment. Besides, Elliot clearly was doing all this as an expression of his gratitude. As such, such a relationship was as fragile as a tiny bubble and it could disintegrate at any time.

Anastasia was no longer a young girl, so she was quite conscious of what was going on. She would not be easily affected just because someone was kind to her, and she definitely wasn’t going to sacrifice all of herself due to being touched by someone else’s kindness. She was now a very level-headed and logical person.

The next morning, Anastasia had just helped Jared place his belongings into his school bag and was about to leave the house when the doorbell sounded. She looked through the peephole and was immediately stunned. Why is he here?

Meanwhile, she opened the door to see Elliot standing outside. He was dressed impeccably in a suit and he looked exactly like an elitist standing there.

“Mr. Presgrave!” Jared happily clung to Elliot’s thigh. “Why are you here?”

“I came over to send you to school and send your mommy to work.”

“Mr. Presgrave, you’re such a nice person!” Jared kept his eyes on Elliot unblinkingly and the boy’s expression was quite affectionate.

At that moment, Elliot directed his gaze toward Anastasia with the hopes that she would react the same way as Jared. However, she felt quite shy to bother him.

“You don’t have to do this next time. I don’t want to take up too much of your precious time,” Anastasia suggested.

“I’m happy to spend my time any way I prefer,” Elliot curled his lips into a smile and replied. Subsequently, he squatted down and took Jared into his arms before turning around to head toward the elevator.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was left slightly speechless. She really didn’t want to waste the man’s time, as he usually had business dealings that ran in the range of billions.

After dropping off Jared at school, Anastasia suddenly recalled that she had a lunch

date with Harriet in the afternoon, so she turned her head to glance at Elliot. “Will you be attending the lunch appointment this afternoon?”

“My grandma didn’t invite me along.” Elliot felt slightly upset too as he had waited the whole night for Harriet’s phone call, but it was in vain. Evidently, he was not included in the lunch date.

Anastasia pursed her lips in response. “Okay, then. I’ll try my best to explain the situation to her.”
