Chapter 347 Creating an Opportunity
“Mommy, are you and Uncle Elliot getting married?” Jared immediately asked in surprise.
Anastasia hurriedly explained, “Uncle Nigel is joking, so don’t take it seriously.”
Upon hearing those words, Nigel couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and look at Elliot. It seemed like he was asking, Dude, why haven’t you succeeded yet?
When Elliot met Nigel’s eyes, he returned with a helpless look. After all, it wasn’t as if Nigel didn’t know that going after Anastasia would be a tough challenge.
The four of them had a good dinner. While they were still seated at the dining table, Nigel said he had left the gift he bought at home, so he coaxed Jared into staying at his house for the night. Jared agreed to it immediately after hearing Nigel’s words, and Anastasia couldn’t do anything to stop him.
“Jared, if you don’t behave, I’m going to be angry!” Anastasia knew very well that Nigel wanted to create an opportunity for her and Elliot!
However, she didn’t need it at all!
“Leave Jared to me, and I will send him to school tomorrow. You don’t have to worry since I’m the most reliable person you can think of,” said Nigel as he took Jared by the hand and ran to his car as quick as a flash.
“Nigel… Jared, come back!” Anastasia shouted as she chased after them, but Jared giggled and ran toward Nigel’s car. Not long after that, she watched as the man’s car pulled away and left.
At that point, Anastasia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. For one, she felt at ease with Nigel taking care of Jared because she often entrusted her son with his care whenever she went abroad. However, without her son by her side, what would that be like with her and Elliot?
Upon realizing the situation, Elliot appreciated Nigel’s gesture of creating an opportunity for him while having his back.
“Come on! Let’s get in the car.” Elliot took Anastasia by the hand and strolled toward his car, wasting no time at all.
Meanwhile, Anastasia was extremely speechless. The intimacy level she had with him had already exceeded the limit for that day, and she had no intention of carrying on.
Once they got into the car, Elliot turned to ask her, “How about a drive?”
“Just send me home! I still have work to do.” Anastasia made an excuse so she could leave him. She was not afraid of him, but she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to control her feelings.
“Which do you think is more important? Work, or coming with me for a drive?”
