Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199 An Envious Man,My Baby’s Daddy

“So that means that you’ll be sleeping alone tonight?” A roguish look flashed across the man’s eyes. Instantly, Anastasia was on high alert as she looked at him and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Nothing much. It’s just that I want to sleep on your bed.” “Don’t push your luck. Go back to sleep at your own home. Otherwise, I’ll ban you from ever eating over here again.” “Your dad looked very happy tonight, but the time left until his company is taken over is only three months away.

If you want your dad to still look this happy in the future, just let me sleep here for the night,” Elliot uttered the cruel words while looking at the faraway lights. Meanwhile, Anastasia was left in disbelief by his words and she froze for a second. “The opposition this time is very strong.

If I don’t interfere, no one has the ability to save your father’s company. Maybe your father can go around asking for favors and using his connections, but it won’t change the fate of his company being taken over in the end.” Feeling as though all the energy had left her body, Anastasia was stuck in a dilemma.

She did not want anything to happen to her father’s company, yet she also did not want to beg Elliot. “Maybe my dad would be luckier, maybe his company…” However, Anastasia could not continue, as she knew that her father’s ‘luck’ all these years was actually just Elliot helping him out behind the scenes.

“Anastasia, do you think that it would be better for your father to go beg someone else, or do you think that it would be better if you begged me on his behalf?” His voice growing hoarse, Elliot then continued, “Even if I’m not obligated to do so, I am still very willing to help you and your father out.”

Hearing this, Anastasia could only look at the city’s nightlights, and she had the sudden feeling that even the sky was not big enough to fit her troubles. How did things spiral to this point? The man she did not want to beg the most turned out to be the man who could solve all her problems.

The lovesick voice of Nigel echoed around the silent balcony. This made Anastasia’s face blush. This evil man! Why did he turn on the loudspeaker? Yet, since the phone was in Elliot’s hands, she couldn’t snatch it back even if she wanted to. “Uh… There’s no need for that. Nigel, just go to sleep. Goodnight!”

Anastasia just wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. “I can’t sleep. I’m thinking of you, you know?” At this point, Nigel was still unaware that his flirtatious words were being overheard by a third party. “Nigel… Nigel, stop talking right now and just go to sleep! I’m going to hang up now.”

However, Nigel began to act spoiled. “Sing a song for me, then. It can even be a children’s song used to humor Jared. If you do it, then I’ll sleep. If you don’t, then I won’t.” Elliot’s expression became thunderous when he heard those words, while Anastasia’s face became as red as a tomato. Why did she have to encounter such a thing?
