Chapter 174 “Will it be just the three of you today?” the managerasked with a smile.

At that moment, Harriet suddenly recalled that there was anotherperson joining them, so she quickly responded, “There will be four of ustoday.”

Instantly, Anastasia and Nigel exchanged looks with each other. Is therea mysterious guest? Who is it? Harriet, however, was busy chatting withthe manager, so they didn't interrupt the conversation.

All of a sudden, a waiter pushed open the door from the outside and astrapping, tall figure walked into the room. He had his suit jacket in hishand, and he was dressed in a white dress shirt paired with blacktrousers. In short, his attire was minimalistic yet full of elegance.Anastasia's beautiful eyes widened upon seeing the man, and she wasquite stunned to replace that he was here too.

The person who walked into the room was in fact Elliot-the man whohad shamelessly mentioned he wanted to join the lunch date the nightbefore.

At the same time, Nigel narrowed his almond-shaped eyes too. Whydid Grandma invite him along? He's just going to ruin everything!“Elliot, how come you're here too? Don't you have any lunchconferences to attend?” Nigel lifted his brows and asked questioningly.Elliot pulled out a chair and purposely took a seat next to Anastasiabefore he responded with a smile, “Well, I wasn't invited to any lunchconferences, so I had no choice but to barge in and join your lunchdate too.”

“Pfft! I'm sure there are plenty of people keen to give you a treat.” Nigeldidn’t believe a single word that Elliot said. Furthermore, Nigel wasquite sure that his cousin must have purposely turned up to messthings up.

Meanwhile, Harriet smiled upon seeing both of her grandsons inattendance. “Elliot mentioned to me last night that he didn't have anylunch plans for today, so I invited him along.”

At that moment, Anastasia turned her head to glance at the man inquestion, and she noticed that his handsome face had stiffened slightly.Elliot clearly didn't expect that Harriet would expose his lie.

In the end, he took his cup of tea into his hand and took a sip from it.At the same time, he peered across from the edge of his teacup, andhis dark gaze went toward the woman next to him.

As for Anastasia, she purposely turned in the other direction as soon asshe sensed his eyes on her.

“Anastasia, I'm sure that there's no need to introduce this person toyou, right? He's my grandson, Elliot Presgrave. You guys must haveencountered each other at the office, I believe?” Harriet asked with asmile.

Meanwhile, Anastasia had a slightly abashed look on her face as shespoke up guiltily. “Yes, we've met.” Not only have we met, but we'vealso even kissed more than once! It was mainly because of Elliot'sshameless personality, and that he had forcefully kissed her each time.At that moment, Nigel reached out to hold Harriet's hand. “Grandma,why don’t you hurry up and tell us the purpose of this lunch datetoday?”

Anastasia's heart skipped a beat as she heard that, and she turned tolook at Harriet. At the same time, Harriet glanced at Anastasia with asmile on her face before turning to glance at Nigel, who was seatednext to Harriet. “Anastasia and Nigel, I'm very happy to know that thetwo of you are in a relationship, so I've asked the two of you out todayto discuss the date for the wedding. That way, we can get the ceremonyorganized as soon as possible.”

At that point, Anastasia thought to herself, Elliot was right in his guess!Harriet has actually taken the proposal for real!

As for Nigel, he lifted his brows happily. “Sure! Grandma, why don’t youpick a date for us so that Anastasia and I can proceed with the weddingceremony as soon as possible? Anastasia, how does that sound?”Meanwhile, Elliot crossed his arms together and looked at the womannext to him with a slightly gloating look on his face as he waited to seehow she was going to handle this.

On the other hand, Anastasia shot a resigned look at Nigel before sheturned to speak to Harriet. “Old Madam Presgrave, Nigel was justfooling around when he proposed to me that day. Don't take itseriously. We're just good friends.”

“What?! How can one fool around with a marriage proposal?!” Harrietstared at her with an aghast look before turning to look at Nigel.However, Nigel solemnly spoke up. “Anastasia, I was quite seriousduring the marriage proposal. I would like to take your hand inmarriage and have you as my wife. Please allow me to care for you forthe rest of our lives.”

At that point, Anastasia lifted her head and she saw Nigel's expectantand loving expression. She couldn't help panicking as she pursed herlips. All of a sudden, she couldn't seem to figure out how to express herrejection with Harriet present. After all, she was mindful of maintainingNigel's reputation too.

As for Elliot, he reached out and took a sip from his cup. His dark eyeswere deep and mysterious, and one couldn't quite tell what was on hismind.

In fact, he was also waiting for the woman next to him to express herstance.

“Look, Nigel's sincerely in love with you, Anastasia. He's a great guy andI do hope that you can consider him as a prospect.” Harriet tried tomatchmake the two, as she really hoped that Anastasia could be a partof the family too.

All of a sudden, Anastasia found herself in a rut as she mumbled, “OldMadam Presgrave, I

“Anastasia, I'm sincere in my feelings. Ever since you saved my life, Imade up my mind that my entire soul and self would belong solely toyou.” Nigel took this opportunity to confess his true feelings. He alsohoped that with Harriet present, Anastasia would no longer shy awayfrom his sincere feelings.
