Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82

When Anastasia picked Jared up from school that afternoon, she got the details for Family Day that was set on Friday. The teams would be made up of a maximum of two students each, and ideally, the students were to show up with their parents.

“Miss Tillman, I heard from Jared that his father will be here for Family Day as well. Here’s the thing-we’re going to need his father’s height and weight so that we’ll be able to get his shirt ready for the program. The shirts will be made according to the family teams.”

At once, the image of a tall and handsome figure surfaced in Anastasia’s mind as she asked the teacher, “Does it have to be matching family outfits?”

“It’s a school requirement, Miss Tillman, and it sets out a uniform dress code for the kids’ Family Day here. It wouldn’t be as fun if everyone wore whatever they wanted to the games,” the teacher said kindly, though she was making it clear that the requirement was absolutely mandatory.

Well, Elliot was the one who promised the kid he’d join Family Day, so he’ll have to wear the shirt no matter how ugly it is, Anastasia thought with dark amusement. “In that case, his father’s height is about six feet three.”

“Wow, Jared’s father is a tall one, isn’t he? What about his weight?”

“He has a pretty standard figure.”

“Okay, then. Now, if you could just transfer us the payment through the parent teacher group chat, that’d be great!” Having taken down the details, the teacher walked off to attend to her other duties.

Presently, Anastasia had only just arrived home with Jared in tow when Francis called to tell her that he was here and that he would like to bring them to go house-seeing.

The new place was a two-bedroom apartment, but the layout measured up to over a hundred square meters. In spite of the two bedrooms, the living room was spacious and held plenty of design potential. Anastasia could already visualize how she would divide the space and set up a kiddy’s corner in the living room that would be perfect for Jared.

The new place also featured two balconies, one for airing laundry and the other for – plants. Once she added a small table for coffee and work, and she could turn it into

her own outdoor workspace.

Anastasia liked the place that Francis had chosen for her, and she appreciated how he had gone against Naomi and Erica just so he could provide a home for her and Jared.

“Pack up your stuff and move in whenever you want. If there’s anything you need at all, the mall is just an elevator ride away!” Francis said cheerily as he sat on the couch with Jared in his lap.

Anastasia nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go back and pack up our stuff tonight. We don’t have much, so we should be done with the move by tomorrow afternoon. We could start cooking our first meal here tomorrow evening!”
