Chapter 181

“Mommy, I'll behave myself at home. You can go.” The little guy meeklynodded. He disliked Erica as well, because he was able to feel her ill willtoward him although he was but a little boy.

Therefore, he chose to not tag along to prevent causing trouble for hismother. However, instead of having Grace to keep him company onthat night like how Anastasia had suggested, Jared thought that Elliotmight be a better candidate for the task.

Anastasia went to the office after dropping her son off. She barely satfor a few minutes on her seat before Grace knocked on her door andpushed it open, inviting a flower delivery man to come in. “This is MissTillman. Please send the flowers in!”

The bouquet of blue roses stunned Anastasia for a few seconds. Whosent this?

“Miss Tillman, here's your flowers. Do sign and acknowledge it.”

And so, Anastasia signed the paper. Then, she reached out for the cardin the bouquet and flipped it open. Instead of replaceing romantic words,she found a domineering order written on it. Do not give the flowersaway. Yours sincerely, Presgrave.

Anastasia was rendered speechless. Why did he send me flowers again?He even prohibits me from giving it away.

“Miss Tillman, the flowers are gorgeous. They are obviously importedones!” Grace came over to admire the flowers. .

Upon hearing that, Anastasia pursed her lips and let out a helplesssmile. I don't want to receive it no matter how pretty it is!

“Miss Tillman, your admirer must be super rich!” Grace guessed in envy.“He's not my admirer,” Anastasia vaguely replied before she returned toher seat. In the next couple of hours, she intermittently stared at thebouquet of blue roses and fell into a daze.

At 11.30 AM, Nigel showed up at her office to invite her to lunch-it wasin invitation that allowed no room for rejection

When he saw the bouquet of flowers on the couch, he instantly knewwho the sender

was. He felt frustrated with himself for being too busy with therenovation that he had forgotten about sending flowers.

However, Anastasia was embarrassed to have him treat her to lunchevery day, so she announced, “Let me treat you to lunch later!”

Nigel merely wanted to have a meal with her, so he didn't mind whowould be paying the bill. In the end, they went to a western restauranttogether. During the meal, he talked about his office renovation andasked Anastasia about her opinion.

However, no matter what she suggested, Nigel agreed to all her ideasand decided to adopt them. As a result, she dared not give any hastysuggestions. Otherwise, she would be guilty if the renovation turnedout awful.

“Anastasia, what do you think about my cousin?” Nigel suddenly asked.Anastasia's hand trembled at the question, causing the spoonful offood that she scooped to fall back onto her plate.

“Uh... h-he’s my boss and he’s a nice person, of course,” she stuttered.“Between him and I, who do you think is better?” Nigel stared at herintently, determined to get an answer out of her.

At that, Anastasia put down her cutlery and looked straight into hiseyes. “Nigel, what exactly are you angling at?”

On the other hand, Nigel pursed his thin lips and decided that heshouldn't avoid the question he had been pondering any longer. Andso, he exhaled and uttered, “I know that he’s pursuing you and he’srepaying your kindness at the same time. Anastasia, in regards to ourrelationship, I hope that... you can give me a chance to be with you.” Helowered his head as he knew that chances were slim.

“Nigel, it's great to be your friend. We can have meals together andmeet up sometimes. Besides, you know that I have no intention toremarry. I'm really sorry!” She sincerely apologized, then added, “Pleasedon't waste your time on me, Nigel. It's not worth it.”

“But...you are the only woman in my heart. There is no one else.” Heraised his head and looked at the woman before him. Although shewasn't the most beautiful woman, she was the most unique view thathe had ever gazed upon.

Truth was, his words moved Anastasia’s heart, but she remainedstraight-faced and sighed. “In that case, I guess we can't even befriends.”

His expression stiffened and then fell. “No, I don’t want that to happen.”“Therefore, let's remain as friends.” However, Anastasia couldn't helpfeeling guilty when she said that. Seems like I have to avoid meeting upwith Nigel too often after this. I don’t want to ruin his life. Instead ofwasting his time and effort on me, he should go and pursue otherwomen.
