Chapter 336 A Family of Three
Elliot came out of the office with the corners of his lips curled up. “If you’re not free in the future, I can pick Jared up,” he offered.
He is right, Anastasia thought. It was always a good idea to have a person as a backup in case of an emergency. “If that’s not too much trouble for you,” she responded.
“Whatever things that you think might trouble me are nothing to me,” he clarified.
Before they could even arrive at Jared’s classroom, they found him sitting on the bench next to the classroom.
Jared spotted her with his sharp eyes and exclaimed, “Mommy!”
Anastasia immediately stood still, waiting for her son to come and hugged her. However, when Jared ran over with an overjoyed expression, she didn’t know it was because he saw Elliot with her.
As Anastasia squatted down and anticipated for Jared to leap into her arms, he suddenly went past her and ran toward someone behind her. At that moment, she felt disheartened. When she turned around, she noticed Elliot tightly hugging Jared, who chirped happily, “Mr. Presgrave, you finally came to pick me up!”
Since she felt a little jealous, Anastasia turned her head just to meet Elliot’s upturned eyes and his expression was like the cat that earned the cream. At first, she was stunned for a second, but she couldn’t help bursting out in laughter thereafter. When did he win over Jared’s heart to such a degree? she wondered.
As soon as Jared got in the car, he began bombarding Elliot with questions.
“Mr. Presgrave, were you busy?”
“Mr. Presgrave, why haven’t you come to pick me up? I thought you had forgotten me!”
“Mr. Presgrave, are you coming to my house for dinner tonight?”
“Mr. Presgrave, why don’t you go to my house for dinner tonight?”
“I miss you so much, and so does Mommy!”
An embarrassed Anastasia wanted to cover Jared’s tiny mouth so that he would stop his nonsense.
