Room for You novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 

Anastasia stopped laughing and looked at her son earnestly. “Jared, let’s not look for Daddy, okay? Mommy can raise you all by herself.”

“Grandpa said that it’s not right of my daddy to avoid taking responsibility, though. He has to be responsible toward you and me,” the little boy said with an adult-like expression.

Anastasia was speechless. Why did her father talk about such things with her son?

“Grandpa said that he will grow old and one day won’t be able to take care of us anymore.”

She could now feel the tears coming. Her father was worried that he would grow old and frail, hence unable to take care of her and her son. She tried to suppress the tears as she responded, “Be good, Jared. I’ll become strong and take care of both you and Grandpa.”

“Okay. I’ll also grow up quickly and be very tall, so I can take care of Mommy and Grandpa.” With that, the little guy returned to scarfing down his dinner.

Anastasia’s heart softened at his words. Her son was everything to her, so she absolutely must build a protective environment for him.

The next day was a Saturday.

It was early in the morning and she thought she wouldn’t have to go to work, but then she received a call from Felicia.

“Anastasia, why aren’t you here for overtime?”

“I have to?” Anastasia sat up and placed her hand to her forehead as she asked. Why was it necessary to work overtime when they were the local branch?

“Because we’re putting out the newest release soon. It’s customary to work overtime during these few weeks. Come on over now!”

“In that case… Can I bring my son to the office?” Anastasia hastily asked.

“All right, sure.” Felicia agreed, for she knew Anastasia was a single mother.

Anastasia immediately woke her son up with kisses and told him, “Jared, let’s go.

Come with me to the office for overtime.”

The little guy seemed to be still half-asleep, but he nodded anyway.

She led her son downstairs and hailed a cab to the office. She had bought some bread on the way for breakfast and it was already 9:50AM when she arrived at the company

Grace was bringing in coffee when she saw the cute boy on the couch, which immediately stunned her.

“Wow! Oh my goodness! He’s too cute!”
