Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 597

Chapter 597

“She has always been drawn to the spotlight, which is the total opposite of me. She used to be rather

childish and would have said a lot of hurtful things in the past. I hope you didn’t take it to heart.”

“Why would I?” Anastasia smiled. It was all in the past.

Katrina knew that Mason wanted to date her, so Katrina put a stop to it and even hurled insults at her

while she was pregnant. Even so, Mason ignored his sister’s protests and continued to take very good

care of her. She was all alone in a foreign country, and sometimes she had no other choice but to accept

his caring and thoughtful gestures to survive.

There was once when Jared had a high

fever, and it was Mason who accompanied her through it all. He carried Jared and ran down many blocks

of streets until they found a doctor who

could attend to Jared. Thankfully, Jared managed to pull through.

That was the most frightened and distraught that Anastasia had ever been, and it was him who ignored

his sister’s objections and did everything he could to help her.

Therefore, no matter how Katrina treated her, Anastasia would not take it to heart.

“Anastasia, where’s Jared? I haven’t seen him in so long!” Mason exclaimed.

“He’s in class right now. He’s already four! I’ll bring him to meet you some time.” Anastasia chuckled.

“Sure! I’m sure he’s quite a looker now. He was so cute as a baby, so he’ll definitely grow up to become a

handsome man,” Mason praised.

Anastasia thought about Elliot. If Jared grew up to look like his father, he was going to be an incredibly

handsome man indeed!

“How did you end up working in Bourgeois?” Anastasia asked out of curiosity.

“I was headhunted and invited to take the position, and I have a lot of faith in Bourgeois’ future

development as a company, so I decided to come back to the country. I never thought our paths would

cross like this again, but I ended up seeing your name at the office.”

“That’s right, I used to work for Bourgeois.”

“Used to? Why did you resign?” Mason asked.

Anastasia’s eyes gleamed with happiness. Then, she finally remembered about the two invitation cards,

so she took them out and passed it over to Mason. “Here, I’ll be getting married soon, so I hope you two

will come and attend the ceremony.”

Mason stared at the invitation cards for a

very long time before taking them. There was a flash of dejection in his eyes. “You’re getting married,

huh?” He flipped the card open as he said that. Once he saw the name written inside, his eyes flickered.

“Elliot Presgrave? Your fiancé is Elliot Presgrave?”

Anastasia knew that he would be shocked. She nodded and said, “Yeah, my fiancé’s name is Elliot

Presgrave.”

“Bourgeois’ owner, the president of Presgrave Group, Elliot Presgrave?” Mason chuckled somewhat

bitterly as he bid goodbye to his fleeting moment of joy earlier.

Sometimes, even when one reunited with the person they longed for, one still did not get a second

chance, because someone even better-a man even more powerful than one-was now by that person’s

side.

“Yes, that’s him. He’s also Jared’s father.” Anastasia nodded and shared a secret. Instantly, Mason’s

eyes flashed. “What?! He’s Jared’s father? That b*stard?”

Anastasia nodded and pursed her lips. “Mason, you shouldn’t say that about him. It was all an accident

back then.”

“But… but what he did left you with so much pain, and so much despair… that you even tried…” Mason

did not dare continue.

Mason had saved Anastasia once. It was when she was five months pregnant. She had lost all hope and

attempted to take her life by jumping off a bridge. Mason was the one who jumped into the river and

rescued her.

Therefore, in his eyes, the man who got

her pregnant was an irresponsible

bestard.

Anastasia sighed and urged him softly. “Mason, just leave the past in the past. I’m really happy right

now.”

Mason’s fists tightened. “Why do your

want to marry him? Is he trying to get

custody of Jared? Is that why you have to

marry him?”

Anastasia was taken aback but she shook her head. “No. A lot of things happened between us, and he

has expressed a lot of regret about the past. We’re truly in love.”

“Does he know the disaster he brought onto you? Does he know everything you suffered through five

years ago all alone in a foreign country?” Anastasia never mentioned the past to Elliot because she

considered it an ill fated low point in her life, but now that Mason showed up, those memories began to

resurface again.
