Chapter 221
Night of Destiny
Chapter 221 Iâll Go and Get It From You
With that, Anastasia stepped back inside the room and shut the front door, leaving Elliot outside on his
own.
Jared, on the other hand, was brought to the couch and lectured. The little boy pouted and finally
mumbled after a long while, âBut I like Mr. Presgrave.â
âWell, donât. And never call him without my permission ever again. Heâs a big boss, and heâs super busy,
understand, Jared?â
Anastasia knew only by telling Jared Elliot was swamped with work that he would eventually stop
approaching Elliot.
Jared nodded, expressing that he got it. But deep down, he genuinely liked Elliot, for he saw a father in
that man. Oh, how he wished his mother would marry Elliot so that he could be his father.
Anastasia felt bad for her little boy despite reprimanding him, as it was her fault, to begin with. She
shouldnât have let Jared grow attached to Elliot.
She decided that she would never make such mistakes ever again. It was time she and Elliot drew a line.
They shouldnât be in this ambiguous relationship any longer.
Anastasia mulled over many things when she lay in bed that night, mainly about Elliot. She wondered
when this man filled every corner of her mind, so much so that she couldnât even chase him away.
But even so, she couldnât let this go on. If she really couldnât chase him away, sheâd find another man to
replace him. It was just a man. No matter how desperate she got, she would never share a man with
Hayley.
To Anastasia, Elliotâs entire body was long enveloped in Hayleyâs stench. It was the repulsive kind that
would suffocate her as soon as she got three feet close.
That night, Hayley played drunk and brought Daniel to her room. Under her seduction, they rolled around
in bed despite Danielâs feigned rejection. Yes, Hayley did the deed that night as she proclaimed, just that
it wasnât with Elliot. While Daniel was asleep, Hayley took a few sneaky pictures. She could use them to
fool Anastasia into thinking Elliot was sleeping with her.
After a nightâs deliberation, Anastasia woke up with an eased mind the following morning. She wouldnât
have to worry anymore after she cleared her mind and planned out her future.
She had no time to waste on such things. She had to work hard and earn money, for her son was her
everything.
Apart from Jared, no one was worth her time and energy.
Making money is the top priority.
It wasnât until after Anastasia dropped Jared off at school that she realized she had left her sketches at
home. With that, she headed back home to retrieve it. On her journey, she got a call from Felicia telling
her to come in for a meeting.
After hanging up, Anastasia accidentally left her cell at the back of the cab, and soon after she got out,
the cab driver picked up another passenger not far away. As soon as the young man opened the car
door, he found a phone sitting in the back seat. Judging from the phone case, he assumed it belonged to
a lady.
As soon as he unlocked the phone, a little boyâs face popped up, and his heart melted a little. With that,
he called the last person the owner of this phone contacted.
Meanwhile, while Felicia was listening to her subordinate speak in the meeting, her phone buzzed. She
took a gander at it and looked toward Anastasia with surprise. âAre you calling my number?â
Anastasia shook her head in response. âNo!â
âBut your ID is showing up on my phone.â
âOh, no! I must have left my phone in the cab. Answer it.â Anastasia immediately got what was going on.
With that, Felicia answered the call. âHello?â
âHi, are you a friend of this phoneâs owner? She left it in a cab.â
âIâm her boss. She happens to be right next to me. Iâll let her talk to you.â And Felicia handed her phone
to Anastasia.
With that, Anastasia hurriedly took it and walked out of the conference room. âHi, Iâm the owner of the
phone you found.â
âHi, Miss. Iâm running an errand. Why donât you give me your address, and Iâll bring your phone to you
later?â A clear and melodious young manâs voice sounded on the other end of the line.
âThank you, but I should go and get it from you instead.â
