Chapter 587

“Be a dear and just stay there, alright? I’ll get you a present tomorrow.”

“But I wanna go home.”

“Two presents!”

“But great-grandma has bought me a ton of presents, and I haven’t even opened them yet. I don’t want

any more presents.” Jared was spoiled rotten. Presents could not interest him anymore.

Elliot was getting a headache. Jared was usually a smart boy, but he just had to act differently when it

mattered most. Anastasia was holding her laugh back. She knew he was having trouble with Jared.

“What would you like then? I’ll give you anything you want.” Elliot tried to get him to agree.

“I wanna sleep in the same room as you.”

Elliot looked back and saw Anastasia

laughing. I can handle this. He then asked, “Jared, do you want a sibling?”

“Yes, of course!” Jared said, delighted.

“Then you’ll have to stay with great grandma tonight, or I can take you to Nigel’s place, alright?”

“Sure! I wanna go to Uncle Nigel’s place!” Jared requested.

Elliot was delighted. Done. “I’ll get Nigel to pick you up then.” He hung up and called Nigel. This was

probably the most proactive he had been in a while.

“Sup, Elliot?”

“I need you to pick Jared up from the residence later. He’ll be staying at your place.”

“I can’t. My flight is scheduled for three.” Nigel had something to do.

“Can’t you put it off for a day?”

“I booked the ticket already.” Nigel laughed. He knew why Elliot wanted Jared to stay with him.

“Cancel it. I’ll pay for all your damages,”

he whispered the last part.

“What’s the hurry, Elliot? Are you doing

anything?”

“You know why.” Elliot gritted his teeth.

Nigel roared in laughter, and he ‘begrudgingly’ said, “Fine. But I’ll need to use your private jet tomorrow.

I’ll take care of your kid if you let me use it.”

“You can use it for as long as you like.” Elliot was paying a heavy price for a fun night. He finally settled

everything, and when he turned around, Anastasia was covering her laugh behind her hand. He squinted

at her, as if he was a beast staring at its prey. ‘You aren’t going anywhere tonight’, the look in his eyes

said.

Anastasia kept smiling, and eventually, she turned red with embarrassment. He sat beside her and

wrapped his arm around her shoulders, then played with her earlobe and slowly closed in.

She could feel his warm breath on her cheek. “It’s just you and me tonight.”

Anastasia got even redder, and her heart raced. She averted her gaze from him. It was like she would

have a heart attack if she looked at him for a moment longer. Fortunately, a meeting distracted him from

her, and she enjoyed a nice. afternoon tea in his office.

He took her and left the building after that meeting. Elliot did not want anyone to interrupt their night, so

he would make dinner himself. He took her to a mall to buy what they needed. Shopping was relaxing,

and Anastasia was looking forward to the dinner, so she decided to buy some scented candles the

moment she saw them.

She bought more than a dozen of them. Elliot would be cooking dinner himself. He never did any chores

before this, but now, he knew how to make great food. They bought a lot of stuff, but when he took her to

the condom counter, she blushed.

She saw a few gentlemen taking their picks as well, and she averted her gaze. Hey, you could have just

picked one yourself! Elliot was scanning the brands and fiddled with the one he was holding. She thought

he would leave after she bought the stuff, but he was still staring at it..
