Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354 Make a Habit Out of Kissing You

Anastasia was practically dying of embarrassment as she buried her face in her hands, but now that everything was out in the open, she had no choice other than to accede to reality.

Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, wincing when she saw Nigel’s name. She was far too flustered to put his call through.

“Answer it,” Felicia encouraged before walking away to give her some privacy.

Anastasia took a deep breath and picked up the call. “Hey.”

“My fair Lady Tillman, so you have indeed left me for my cousin!”

“Please stop teasing me about this,” she begged exasperatedly.

Nigel chuckled. “Who would’ve thought that my walking iceberg of a cousin could be so passionate when he’s with you?”

“Nigel,” she warned.

“Okay, okay, I’ll stop. I only called to congratulate both of you, and I’m really happy for you guys as well. I wouldn’t have allowed any man other than Elliot to be with you,” he pointed out playfully.

“Thanks,” she said. This was quickly followed by a panicked, “Hey, you didn’t show Jared the pictures, did you?”

“The pictures are a little PG-13, so of course I didn’t show them to him,” he replied matter-of-factly.

Anastasia’s face grew hot. “You can’t ever let him see those pictures!”

“I know, and I won’t. He told me he wants to stay over at my place, so I’ll pick him up this afternoon and bring him home. That way, you and Elliot can get some much-deserved quality time.”

She felt bad for saddling Nigel with babysitting duty and said, “I don’t want to impose on you, Nigel.”

“It’s not imposing at all. You know how much I adore the little guy; he brightens up my day like no one else!” Nigel was already treating Jared like his own nephew.

“Okay, then. Thanks for offering, Nigel,” Anastasia said. She felt like she was asking too much of him, but nothing else mattered as much as Jared’s happiness.
