Chapter 442 Father and Son

“I see.” She nodded. “Then I’ll go on my own.”

Elliot had just turned his head to look at Jared, but upon hearing her words, he immediately turned and

looked at her again. “You’re going?”

“Felicia said there will be some good performances. I’m interested.” At that point, Anastasia was already

looking forward to seeing her favorite singer.

Elliot changed his mind and said in a deep tone, “Okay. I’ll ask Rey to allocate some of my time then.”

That startled Anastasia. “That’s not necessary. Your work is more important.”

“Work will never be more important than my girlfriend,” he replied casually. He initially refused to attend

the annual celebration because the atelier was unimportant to him in the first place. That was just a

jewelry brand he bought for fun.

In fact, Elliot acquired it to get closer to Anastasia.

His words gave her a warm feeling. Even the cold air surrounding her became warmer now. Pursing her

lips, she smiled and said, “But I’m not planning to bring Jared along. Too many people will be there.”

“That’s great. If you don’t mind, I plan to send Jared to Grandma’s house. She had been nagging to see

him.” Elliot looked at her, to which Anastasia nodded in agreement. “Send him there then!”

She did not mind it at all. She merely hoped that Jared would not be too mischievous and cause trouble

for Harriet.

When they mentioned that to Jared, he happily agreed and asked, “Mommy, are you going on a date

with Mr. Presgrave?”

‘No. We’re just attending a work event,” she explained.

However, Elliot did not go along with her. “You’re right, Jared. We are going on a date.”

“Enjoy your date then! I’ll be good.” Jared hoped that they could be together more than anyone else.

Seeing them both, Anastasia was rendered speechless.

Jared was still young, but he was preoccupied with adult issues.

There were still two days until Friday. The next morning, Anastasia received a call from Francis informing

her that there would be a year-end inventory meeting in the afternoon and inviting her to attend.

Though it was still too early for her to take over Francis’ business, she was trying her best to become a

qualified successor.

“I’m dropping by my dad’s company, so I’ll leave Jared to you,” she told Elliot.

Elliot had just woken up and his hair was still in a messy state. But not long later, Jared came down with

the same hairstyle.

Anastasia couldn’t control her laughter when she saw that. Indeed, hair in the winter is uncontrollable.

“What are you laughing at?” Elliot asked while handing her a cup of milk.

“Both you and Jared really look alike sometimes,” she answered.

Hearing that, Elliot turned around to look at Jared and smiled. “This is our fate as father and son.”

Anastasia had no idea what to reply to that. Jared, on the other hand, hugged Elliot’s legs and asked,

“Mr. Presgrave, when can I have such long legs as yours?”

He already had Elliot’s looks and now, he wanted to have Elliot’s long legs as well.

Elliot then put a cup of milk before him and answered, “You will have long legs if you eat more and drink

more milk.”

That immediately prompted Jared to take the milk and said, “Okay. I will finish this!”

“Jared, I need to go to your grandpa’s company later. Stay at home and listen to Mr. Presgrave, will

you?”

“Sure! I can play with Mr. Presgrave then!”

“Don’t. He is now working from home and has a large amount of work to complete. Don’t bother

him,”Anastasia mentioned. In fact, Elliot chose to work from home because they were at home.

However, Elliot consoled Jared, “Don’t worry. I will play with you.”

When he heard that, Jared proudly raised his brows at Anastasia. The child looked exactly the same as

Elliot while doing this, leaving her speechless.

She did not drive her car here and hence, she couldn’t go out. It wasn’t practical for someone to pick her

up either.

In the end, Anastasia could only borrow a car from Elliot.

“Don’t you have other cars which are not that eye-catching?” Standing in the basement garage, she was

taken aback by the array of sports cars in front of her.

All of the cars were either cool, dark, or wild in color, making them completely unsuitable for her to drive.
