Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37 

Anastasia hurriedly took the elevator to the 8th floor. She stood in front of the president’s office and knocked on the door before she opened it without even waiting for a response.

When she spotted her son seated on Elliot’s couch, she immediately sighed in relief before shouting in anger, “Jared, are you trying to give me the fright of my life?! Why did you run off like that?!”

Jared didn’t expect his actions to have frightened his mother so much that she went pale. He hastily ran over and wrapped his arms around her leg. “Mommy, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”

Anastasia also realized that she had overreacted, so she hugged him and sighed again. “Don’t do that again.”

“Go back to work and leave him to me. I’ll babysit him for you.” A man’s voice rang out from behind them.

She was stunned. This man must be trying to repay some kindness, but she didn’t want to accept any help from him apart from work. Moreover, she didn’t feel the need to bother him with a task like babysitting.

“It’s fine. Thanks for the offer,” a reluctant Anastasia replied.

“Mommy, I like being with Mr. Handsome. Can you let me stay here until you get off work? Please?” The little guy asked happily with obvious anticipation on his face.

Anastasia was speechless at her son’s behavior. He could have chosen anyone to stick to, but of all the people, he chose Elliot.

“No. Come back to my office. I still have a meeting to attend, but I’ll treat you to something lovely for lunch.”

“I don’t want to! I want to play here in Mr. Handsome’s office.” The little guy began to sulk, which was actually rare for him.

Knowing that the meeting was still ongoing with the launch event for their new release on the agenda, Anastasia gritted her teeth. She looked up at the impressive man in front of her before saying, “Then, please help me look after him for a while.

“Sure!” Elliot nodded.

“Jared, don’t cause any trouble, okay? Mommy is going back to the meeting.”

“I’ll be good,” the little guy promised.

Anastasia turned and left for the meeting. The little guy happily sat on the couch again, then fished out a Rubik’s cube from his backpack and began playing with it.

Elliot sat right opposite him and watched the little guy skillfully rotate the cube. Jared completed the puzzle within 2 minutes, a clear indication of his marvelous IQ.
