Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 His Uncle Appeared

At the same time, Elliot’s hand, which was placed on Anastasia’s back, moved to Anastasia’s shoulder and he softly whispered in her ear, “Take good care of them on my behalf, Anastasia.”

Her face immediately flushed red. His words had another meaning: he did not see her as a guest but as a member of his family.

“Mr. Presgrave, you look handsome tonight!” Jared praised him.

“The same goes for you.” Elliot leaned down and rubbed Jared’s head with his big palm. “I’ll play with you later.”

“Okay!” Jared nodded considerately.

Then, Elliot moved to the other tables. Anastasia only looked at him when he left and she noticed Rey was actually following Elliot around. Though Elliot had Rey with him, it was clear that he was the only pillar of the Presgrave Family. Thinking of this, she suddenly sensed his loneliness in the midst of the bustling atmosphere.

Her heart ached for him when she realized he was the only one supporting the Presgrave Group. Outsiders only saw his glamorous side, but who could understand how much effort he had exercised and how lonely he was?

Even the food tasted bitter to her now. When she looked at him again, she noticed that he was still dominant despite being alone, as if he had the world behind him.

Meanwhile, Elliot had arrived at Hayley’s table. Since everyone at this table was the Presgrave Family’s younger generation, he toasted them patronizingly and left after a few unimportant greetings. Hayley didn’t even get a chance to brag about how close she was to him.

“Hayley, since you’re so close to the Presgrave Family, are you familiar with Elliot then?” Erica asked curiously.

“Everything I have now was given by him. What do you think?” Hayley boastfully answered.

“What? Are you that close to him? Then…” Erica was tongue-tied upon hearing that as envy and jealousy began to fill her heart.
