Chapter 170

Anastasia reached out a hand to ruffle Jared's hair and spoke in arelaxed tone. “I don't need anyone else but you. I'm not going to marryanyone again in this lifetime.”

That was because she didn't want to put a bet on an uncertain future.She just wanted to raise her son in a stable environment. Besides, Elliotclearly was doing all this as an expression of his gratitude. As such, sucha relationship was as fragile as a tiny bubble and it could disintegrate atany time.

Anastasia was no longer a young girl, so she was quite conscious ofwhat was going on. She would not be easily affected just becausesomeone was kind to her, and she definitely wasn't going to sacrifice allof herself due to being touched by someone else's kindness. She wasnow a very level-headed and logical person.

The next morning, Anastasia had just helped Jared place his belongingsinto his school bag and was about to leave the house when thedoorbell sounded. She looked through the peephole and wasimmediately stunned. Why is he here?

Meanwhile, she opened the door to see Elliot standing outside. He wasdressed impeccably in a suit and he looked exactly like an elitiststanding there.

“Mr. Presgrave!” Jared happily clung to Elliot's thigh. “Why are youhere?”

“I came over to send you to school and send your mommy to work.”“Mr. Presgrave, you're such a nice person!” Jared kept his eyes on Elliotunblinkingly and the boy's expression was quite affectionate.

At that moment, Elliot directed his gaze toward Anastasia with thehopes that she would react the same way as Jared. However, she feltquite shy to bother him.

“You don't have to do this next time. I don't want to take up too muchof your precious time,” Anastasia suggested.

“I'm happy to spend my time any way I prefer,” Elliot curled his lips intoa smile and replied. Subsequently, he squatted down and took Jaredinto his arms before turning around to head toward the elevator.Meanwhile, Anastasia was left slightly speechless. She really didn’t wantto waste the man’s time, as he usually had business dealings that ran inthe range of billions.

After dropping off Jared at school, Anastasia suddenly recalled that shehad a lunch

date with Harriet in the afternoon, so she turned her head to glance atElliot. “Will you be attending the lunch appointment this afternoon?”“My grandma didn’t invite me along.” Elliot felt slightly upset too as hehad waited the whole night for Harriet's phone call, but it was in vain.Evidently, he was not included in the lunch date.

Anastasia pursed her lips in response. “Okay, then. I'll try my best toexplain the situation to her.”

Elliot drove his car into the underground parking lot and Anastasia triedto quickly make a dash for it as she wanted to avoid entering theelevator at the same time as him.

However, Elliot refused to let her have her way and he strodepurposefully behind her on his long legs. Just as he was about to enterthe elevator, Anastasia frantically pressed the button to shut the doorwhile yelling toward him, who was still outside, “Take the next one.”Unfortunately for her, he stretched out his hand. As soon as the sensorson the door sensed movement, they slid open instantly and Elliot madehis way into the elevator gracefully.

Meanwhile, Anastasia placed her palm on her forehead and inchedcloser to the corner of the elevator. Even if she had to be in the samelift, she was determined to stand as far away from him as possible.Indeed, there was a huge group of staff waiting to enter the elevator inthe lobby. However, as soon as the doors to the elevator slid open, theanxious bunch of people outside suddenly stopped in their tracks.None of them dared to step foot into the elevator because Elliot wasstanding there.

“President Presgrave, you can go ahead. We'll take the next one.” Eachof them said so fawningly with smiles on their faces.

Soon after that, the doors to the elevator slid shut. Meanwhile,Anastasia was intent on admiring Elliot's strapping, attractive figure asshe thought, He has the perfect figure that even a model couldn'tcompete against him! The clothes on him were perfectly molded to hisbody and he had the perfect figure that enhanced any outfit he wore.Elliot's figure was so perfect that he looked slim in any shirt he put onand yet when he took off his shirt, he was filled out in all the rightplaces.

They arrived at the Department of Design and Anastasia quickly slippedpast the man to get out of the elevator. However, at that moment, Elliotreached out and

suddenly held her hand for a short while. Shocked, Anastasia shiveredand she quickly flung off his hand as she fled the elevator. At the sametime, she scanned her surroundings guiltily.

She couldn't contain herself from blushing. How annoying!

She arrived at her working area and instantly focused her efforts on herwork. Although she had hurt her finger, she could only bear it and workwith an injured finger. Luckily, she could operate everything by usingthe computer, so it made things much easier for her.

She finally made finishing touches to the draft for the pair of necklacesand it was quite perfect in her eyes, so she sent it to Felicia for her tocontact the customer. After all, this was an important commissionedpiece, so Felicia was in on it too.

At about 10 in the morning, Anastasia’s cell phone suddenly rang andshe reached out to answer the phone call. “Hello, who's on the line?”"Hi, is this Miss Anastasia Tillman? I'm calling from the fruit shop.There's a customer who ordered a truckload of Musang King durian foryou. Where would you like me to deliver it to?”

"What?! A truckload? How many would that be?”

“There are about two hundred of them.”

At that point, Anastasia nearly had a heart attack. Elliot has too muchmoney on his hands, huh? Why did he send me two hundred MusangKing durians early in the morning anyway?!
