Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Perhaps I Was Overthinking

Riley was like a father to her in Aliona’s heart.

“Good girl. I didn’t take care of you in vain. Well, I will wait for your good news.” He was also in a good mood as he had confidence in his beautiful goddaughter.

“Don’t worry, Father. You don’t have to be concerned about me,” Aliona replied confidently.

In the office, Anastasia had decided to bury herself in work. However, she found herself lacking inspiration after just a few strokes on the paper.

At that very moment, her cell phone rang. “Hello?” she said as she picked up the phone.

“Anastasia, our company is holding a welcome party tomorrow night. Are you available?” Felicia asked over the phone.

“Is this Aliona’s welcome party?” Anastasia inquired while she scowled.

“Yes. President Presgrave has agreed to hold the party as well. I was thinking that you might have to look after Jared. So, if you don’t have time—”

For some reason, Felicia had hoped that Anastasia would refuse to attend the party.

However, Anastasia wanted to see how Aliona and Elliot showed off their relationship, so she briskly answered, “I am free. I will join.”

“Anastasia, it’s just a bunch of people getting excited and talkative. You really don’t have to join.” Felicia did not want Anastasia to get hurt since there would be a lot of interaction between Elliot and Aliona.

Anastasia understood that Felicia was being thoughtful. But why should I avoid them? I am not afraid. I ain’t afraid of anything.

“Felicia, I am available. I will be there.” She didn’t want to miss out on this welcome party.

After hanging up the phone, Anastasia checked the clock and realized that it was already 4.30PM—it was time to go and pick up her son. Before she left, she glanced at the landline phone, as if she was anticipating something to happen, but she quickly shook it off and proceeded to leave.

As soon as Anastasia picked Jared up, he was disappointed. “Why is Mr. Presgrave not coming with you, Mommy?” he asked.

With his words, her heart became bitter. She didn’t know how to tell Jared that his Mr. Presgrave would no longer be coming to pick him up.

“Mr. Presgrave has been very busy lately, so you may not see him for a while,” she comforted Jared as she turned to him and smiled. “I came to pick you up on time today. Where do you want to go? I will accompany you.”
