Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 582

Anastasia took the microphone from Elliot. “Elliot and I met five years ago, and while it was only a fleeting moment back then, we are happy that our paths have crossed again. I hope that everyone will celebrate the reunion of our family of three and wish us well.”

Elliot had a look of gratitude and commitment. Anastasia’s words had masked the mistake he made five years ago and said that they had been briefly acquainted.

She protected his dignity.

Elliot swore to love her for all eternity.

“Are you really my daddy?” Jared had not wrapped his head around this yet.

Elliot kissed Jared on the forehead and said with absolute certainty, “Yes, I am. Say ‘Daddy.”

“Daddy!” Jared exclaimed happily before hugging him by the neck.

The word “Daddy” rang out loud and clear.

Elliot’s eyes teared up again as he stared at his son with indescribable joy. He wrapped his hand behind Jared’s head and pulled him close to rest their foreheads together. He then twirled him around on stage before finally planting another kiss on Jared’s head.

Beneath the stage, Harriet had also welled up with happy tears and was now a crying mess. Nigel and Brenda both stood beside her in fear that her overexcitement might trigger her high blood pressure.

This news was the icing on the cake at the engagement ceremony.

Anastasia thought about what Hayley had screamed at her back then. She said there was a secret she would bring with her to the grave.

Anastasia knew what the secret was now. Hayley was probably referring to Jared’s . true lineage.

She had a bout of belated fear as she wondered what would have happened if she had not found out about this secret. Her son may never have been able to reunite with his father.

It would be one of the world’s greatest tragedies if the father and son had run into each other but never got to know the truth.

Thankfully, fate did not choose to do this to them, and she did find out the truth..

That deplorable woman, Hayley Seymour, would pay for this!

This watch was the catalyst that led to the truth coming to light.

“From now on, Daddy will do everything it takes to make it up to you.” Elliot would serve the world up on a silver platter if Jared asked him to.

Anastasia knew that Elliot was overcome with emotion from finally reuniting with Jared. She sat down beside him and said, “As long as the three of us get to live happily ever after together, nothing else matters.”

“Mommy, does this mean you’ll be giving me a younger brother or sister?” Jared’s

pleading began in earnest once again.

Meanwhile, Elliot finally knew why he could never get the feeling he felt five years ago when he was with Hayley. It turned out that the woman he felt guilty toward was not Hayley after all, but Anastasia.

“I’m sorry.” Elliot looked Anastasia in the eye and apologized once more for his frenzied state five years ago.

The man who traumatized her turned out to be him. He did not recall much about that night five years ago as he had lost all his senses. All he could remember was her quiet sobbing and helpless pleas for mercy.
