Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366 Requesting for a Long Holiday

Therefore, even if Old Madam Presgrave had threatened to crash the stock market in order to save her grandson, it was completely understandable.

Due to such immense pressure, the police force could only do their best to save the young Elliot. After all, it was their responsibility to do so.

If it weren’t for the continuous pressure from their superiors, would Anastasia’s mother still be alive? Would Anastasia be able to spend her childhood with a mother without having to lose someone she loved dearly?

It had been a long time since Anastasia missed her mother so much, and her mother had been an imaginary figure as far as she could remember. She didn’t even have a single memory of her mother, for she had only been one year and eight months old back then.

Back then, Anastasia wasn’t aware of anything yet. There were only photos of her mother looking at her tenderly, and that triggered Anastasia’s emotions as tears started rolling down her face. She felt heartbroken.

She didn’t resent anyone, but she didn’t want to see anyone from the Presgrave Family either, including Elliot.

She thought the only thing she could do was to cut her ties with the Presgrave Family and never involve herself in their affairs anymore. Only then could she return justice to her mother.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and she could guess who it was.

However, she didn’t want to get up, let alone open the door.

“Anastasia… It’s me. Can you open the door?” It was Elliot’s voice.

The knocks on the door stopped for a while, but they quickly resumed. It seemed that Elliot was determined to see her, or else he wouldn’t leave.

After wiping off her tears and composing herself, Anastasia washed up and walked toward the door.

Her gaze wasn’t fixed on Elliot, who was standing outside. Instead, she uttered indifferently, “You should go. I don’t want to see you.”

Hearing that, Elliot was flustered. He didn’t know what Riley had told her, but it was definitely something that hurt her deeply.

“Why don’t you want to see me?” Elliot inquired hoarsely.

Anastasia’s eyes instantly turned red as she looked up at him, saying, “I just don’t want to see you. Don’t come and find me, and don’t try to contact us again. You and your family better stay away from mine.”

“Anastasia…” Just as Elliot wanted to say something, what came in response was a shut door.

As he stood outside, Elliot was perplexed. Anastasia’s words were like needles piercing his heart, making him struggle to breathe.

He could sense the hint of resentment in her eyes. What on earth had Riley told her?
