Room for You novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 

“Hey! How can you boss me around like that?!” Although Anastasia kept shouting behind Elliot, he refused to let go, and she was pushed into the car just like that.

Fine! Drop me off, then! At least I can save up from the cab fare.

Once Anastasia got into the car, she told Rey her address and proceeded to act as if she had fallen asleep since she didn’t want to talk to Elliot.

Fortunately, Elliot wasn’t planning to start a conversation as well, so the two of them sat by the opposite sides of the car in silence while staring at the night view outside of the window

About an hour later, they finally reached Anastasia’s place, and she quickly thanked Rey, saying, “Thanks, Mr. Osborne.”

Before getting out of the car, Anastasia took a deep breath before she turned toward the man in the car, thanking him as well. “Thank you for tonight.”

Right then, Elliot’s gaze met hers before he nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard her.

Then, Anastasia closed the car door and left while the car slowly drove away after making sure that Anastasia had entered her apartment complex.

When she got home, Jared was already asleep, while Francis stayed by the side of his bed to accompany him. When Francis saw Anastasia coming home so late at night, he took a card out of his wallet and gave it to her. “Anastasia, there’s 2 million in this card, and I think that you should have it. You shouldn’t overwork yourself. If you’re tired, just resign and take care of Jared with this money!”

Upon hearing that, Anastasia was taken aback as she could feel Francis worrying for her. Nevertheless, she pursed her lips and commented, “Naomi would surely get mad if she finds out about this.”

“Well, I’m the one who earned this money, and no one can stop me from giving it to you.” Francis placed the card in Anastasia’s hand. “Take it.”

Fathers often expressed their love in a silent manner. After doing so, Francis didnt say anything and left with his briefcase while Anastasia sighed. She knew that Naomi was the one who climbed into Francis’s bed back then and forced him to marry her once she got pregnant. That was the only reason why Francis married Naomi after

her biological mother’s death. Although she hated Francis for doing so back then, she had already let go of the past.

After showering, Anastasia lay down by Jared’s side before she leaned forward to plant a kiss on Jared’s pale forehead. Then, she got tired and fell asleep as well.

The next morning, Anastasia vaguely heard Jared’s voice calling out for her. “Wake up, Mommy. I’m going to be late.”
