Chapter 258 Elliot Will Join Us

“So, how will you repay Mr. Presgrave’s kindness?” Jared inquired out of curiosity.

“Erm… I-I need some time to think about it.”

“Why don’t you marry Mr. Presgrave, Mommy? You can be his wife and take care of him,” Jared

suggested loudly.

In a hurry, Anastasia rushed over to cover Jared’s mouth, but she heard Francis chuckling. Playing along

with his grandson, Francis joked, “Jared is right.”

Rey couldn’t help but chime in, “President Presgrave actually needs someone to take care of him.”

On the contrary, Alex stood aside with a stiff smile because he wasn’t having any of it.

Anastasia blushed in crimson as she pulled her son over and uttered, “You shouldn’t talk nonsense,

Jared.”

When Elliot’s gaze was locked on Anastasia, his eyes were dark. He looked like a wild beast wanting to

hunt her down.

Under broad daylight, Anastasia was so flustered that her face turned red. She quickly felt shy because

her father was also there.

Seeing that his mom’s face had turned red, Jared quickly shut up.

“Young Master Presgrave, if you’re not in a hurry to head back, stay back for lunch with us!” Francis

offered.

“Sure.” Elliot nodded.

Alex’s eyes darkened at that. He was planning to get close to Anastasia through the lunch gathering

later, but Elliot came out of nowhere and disrupted all his initial plans.

Coming from an ordinary family, Alex desperately wanted to improve himself. He didn’t want to live at the

bottom of the hierarchy as his parents did. However, with his connections and ability, it was difficult for

him to break out of the bottom level of the social hierarchy.

When he met Francis and heard that he had two daughters, he found a shortcut to success. He thought

he could marry into the Tillman family and become the successor to Francis. That would help him leap

out of his predestined fate.

There were two daughters in the Tillman household. Alex had met Erica before, but he knew that Francis

didn’t value her. Instead, the eldest daughter in the family, who had been mysterious all this while, caught

his breath when he first saw her at the banquet.

Alex was aware that Francis wanted to train him into being his successor and intended to introduce his

eldest daughter to him. When he heard that, he was overjoyed. He would be achieving the peak of his

life when he had both Francis’ company and his daughter.

Despite that, he never expected that Elliot would be the most powerful obstacle to his success.

Elliot, who stood at the top of the food chain, also admired Anastasia! Alex heard that Anastasia’s mother

sacrificed herself to save him, so he had always been doing his best to repay the Tillman family. It was

also a coincidence that Elliot was attracted to Anastasia.

“Alex, come here. Let’s switch to a classier restaurant. President Presgrave and his assistant will be

joining us for lunch.” Francis looked at Alex while instructing him.

At that moment, Alex had mixed feelings, but he still had a conscientious expression on his face. Smiling,

he replied, “Sure, I’ll book another restaurant right now.”

Alex then proceeded to leave the ward with his phone. Standing outside the glass window, he glared at

Elliot with resentment in his eyes.

“Dad, why don’t I book the restaurant and bring President Presgrave over? I’ll ask Mr. Hunter to bring

you over once the documents for discharge are ready,” suggested Anastasia.

Francis nodded and agreed, saying, “Sure. You should leave first. Ask Alex to come in.”

Anastasia pushed the door open and said to Alex, “Mr. Hunter, I’ll book the restaurant. You can help my

dad with the discharge process, and I’ll text you the address later.”

“Sure, Miss Tillman.” Alex nodded. When Anastasia turned around, he couldn’t hide the affectionate gaze

he had for her.

After Anastasia brought her son, Elliot, and Rey out of the ward, they headed toward the car park. Elliot

instructed Rey to drive Anastasia’s car, while Anastasia and Jared took his car.

Anastasia hadn’t bought a child safety seat yet, but Elliot had it in his car, so she agreed to Elliot’s

arrangement after considering her son’s safety.

By 12.00PM, they arrived at the fancy restaurant.

Francis later brought Alex along, and once they were done with their orders, they started chatting.
