Chapter 186
Anastasia didn’t expect that her son would tell Elliot about the banquet. Since things had come to that point, she had no choice but to trouble the man with taking care of Jared. And so, she immediately replaced her initially angry tone with her usual one. “If it’s not too much of a hassle to you, please take care of him for me tonight. I’ll go and pick him up at around 9.00 PM.”
“Sure!” Elliot unhesitatingly agreed and hung up the call.
Gazing at the sunset in the distance, Anastasia fell into a daze, wondering whether it was a good thing that her son relied on Elliot so much.
Oftentimes, the choices available were limited. On one hand, she didn’t want Jared to depend on that man too much but on the other hand, she couldn’t help feeling relieved when the man took care of her son. In fact, she even trusted that man unconditionally.
After Elliot ended the call with Anastasia, he instantly called another person.
“Hello, Elliot! How can I help you?” Nigel’s voice rang from the other end of the call.
Although the two men had made a bet, it didn’t affect the relationship between them.
“I need a favor from you. Will you help me to take care of a child?”
“Whose child?”
“Where are you?”
“Where else? My father’s company, of course.”
“Alright, I’ll send him over right now.”
“You haven’t told me whose kid is that! And I don’t like to babysit,” Nigel grumbled.
“It’s Anastasia’s boy. Are you not going to babysit him?” Elliot muttered in exasperation.
“What? Jared? Jared’s with you now?” Nigel asked in surprise, then he rejoiced. “Send him over! I don’t like other kids, but Jared’s different.”
Elliot ended the call on his Bluetooth earpiece before he said to the kid in the back
seat. “I’m sending you to Nigel’s place now, alright?”
