Chapter 493
Night of Destiny
âThis one is from me,â Elliot told her with
a smile on his face as he rested his chin on his arm.
Anastasia was slightly startled holding the card in one hand. âYou are giving me a card?â
âIt is a card that does not have a limit. You can use it as you like! His sharp eyebrows raised slightly, his
eyes full of love for her.
These were probably the words any woman loved hearing the most. Anastasia, too, couldnât hide the
smile on her face as she moved on to the next present. âIs this one from Grandma?â she asked..
âOpen it and see,
Elliot was curious as to what Harriet prepared as well. The elderly woman hadnât told her a thing, after
all.
Anastasia opened the present, and when she poured the contents of the present, a strange card that
looked like an access card fell out.
âWhat is thishe asked.
Elliot glanced at it before he replied with a smile. âThe access card to Cloud Residence No. Iâs top floor
loft unit.â
She was startled again after hearing his words. If her memory served her correctly, she had somehow
come across the insane price of a unit at Cloud Residence No. 1. She also saw how the price of the big
loft had been raised to about 100 million.
And the access card to such a place was in her hand right this moment.
âI-I canât accept it!â Anastasia wouldnât reject the black card from her future husband, but Harrietâs
present was too expensive for her to accept.
âWhy not? Everything the Presgraves have will belong to you in the future.â Elliot then added, âI
remember telling you before about a top private kindergarten in the area. The security measures are top-
notch, and their education system is also the best internationally. Grandma cares about
both your sety and Jaredâs education.â
Upon hearing that, Anastasia could feel a gush of warmth in her chest. The loft might be expensive, but
what was more valuable and heartwarming to her was Harrietâs kindness and sincerity toward Anastasia
and her son.
Hence, Anastasia had no choice but to accept it as well. She then took the black card again and took a
look, and her red lips curled into a smile. âI am finally a rich lady,â she cheered.
The man instantly corrected her. âYou mean you are my lady.â
Upon hearing that, Anastasia bashfully chewed on her red lip. âNot yet!â
The man had come to sit beside her at some point. He wrapped his long arms around her as he
muttered, âIt will be soon.â After saying that, he pressed his thin lips to her forehead. âI canât wait to
announce this.â
She started to count the days then. It appeared there were only 15 days left
before she oficially his fiancée.
It all still felt like a dream to her.
Anastasia had only returned to the country with Jared then to live a quiet life where she would steadily
earn money to raise the child. She had only planned to keep her focus on her career and her child.
However, she somehow managed to gain a husband within a year of coming back here.
Come to think of it, she and Elliot had only been together for only about a year.
Back at the Tillman Residence, Erica started treating Francis like he was a stranger after she found out
the truth of her birth.
She would try her best to not call him âDadâ. Her eyes when she looked at him were those of an
outsiderâs.
Francis was sitting on the sofa when he noticed Erica all dressed up and ready to leave. Out of concern,
he asked, âErica, where are you going so late at night.â
âI am heading out.â
âItâs too late. It is not safe for a girl like you to go out by yourself. Why donât you just stay at home and
take a rest?â
âI have an appointment with a friend,â she muttered with her head low before she left.
âThis daughter of ours is getting more and more stubborn!â Francis sighed as he shook his head. When
Naomi heard that, she smoothly hugged him around his neck from behind and said, âDonât bother with
her, my dear. She is an adult now. You canât make her decisions for her.â He turned and threw a glance
at his wife briefly before she sat down with him. âFrancis,â she started. âAnastasia is getting engaged
soon. What do you think we should give her as a present?â
Francis had given a proper thought about what dowry he could give before. After thinking about it for a
moment, he told Naomi, âI am not sure what she doesnât have. Let me ask her. We will give her anything
she doesnât already have!â
Naomiâs face murred sour then. She was starting to maghty all the good ways Francis was treating
Anastasia. It even seemed to her as though Francis couldnât wait to give out all the money he had if he
could.
âWould you give her the company as a dowry if she wanted it?â
He momentarily froze at her words. âAnastasia is the one who will take over my company anyway!â
âHow about Erica, then? Are you going to
give her the company too if that is what
she wants?â Naomi tried probing.
âBut Erica doesnât have a spouse yet!â
She was getting madder by the second. She eventually stood up and as she was walking away, she
turned to look at Francis for a short second, the murderous intent evident on her face.
