Chapter 186

Anastasia didn’t expect that her son would tell Elliot about the banquet.Since things had come to that point, she had no choice but to troublethe man with taking care of Jared. And so, she immediately replacedher initially angry tone with her usual one. “If it's not too much of ahassle to you, please take care of him for me tonight. I'll go and pickhim up at around 9.00 PM."

“Sure!” Elliot unhesitatingly agreed and hung up the call.

Gazing at the sunset in the distance, Anastasia fell into a daze,wondering whether it was a good thing that her son relied on Elliot somuch.

Oftentimes, the choices available were limited. On one hand, she didn'twant Jared to depend on that man too much but on the other hand,she couldn't help feeling relieved when the man took care of her son. Infact, she even trusted that man unconditionally.

After Elliot ended the call with Anastasia, he instantly called anotherperson.

“Hello, Elliot! How can I help you?” Nigel's voice rang from the otherend of the call.

Although the two men had made a bet, it didn't affect the relationshipbetween them.

“I need a favor from you. Will you help me to take care of a child?”“Whose child?”

“Where are you?”

“Where else? My father's company, of course.”

“Alright, I'll send him over right now.”

“You haven't told me whose kid is that! And I don't like to babysit,”Nigel grumbled.

“It's Anastasia’s boy. Are you not going to babysit him?” Elliot mutteredin exasperation.

"What? Jared? Jared's with you now?” Nigel asked in surprise, then herejoiced. “Send him over! I don't like other kids, but Jared's different.”Elliot ended the call on his Bluetooth earpiece before he said to the kidin the back

seat. “I'm sending you to Nigel's place now, alright?”

“Okay, Mr. Presgrave. You have to keep an eye on Mommy tonight andmake sure that no man snatches her away!”

“I'll certainly keep a close eye on her.” Elliot chuckled. No men would beable to take her away under his watch

Soon, they arrived at a 7-star hotel, and Nigel was waiting downstairs toget the kid. When the car came to a stop, Nigel pulled open the cardoor of the back seat. He was surprised when he saw a child car seat inElliot's car and the little boy was safely strapped on the seat.

“Mr. Nigel!” Jared politely greeted him.

Meanwhile, Elliot walked up to Nigel and said, “Anastasia is tied up withsomething, so she asked me to send Jared to your place. I'll have totrouble you with him tonight.”

Upon hearing that, Nigel felt a little displeased. I would go and pickJared up if Anastasia gave me a call, so why did she get Elliot to sendJared over? Could it be that in her heart, I'm not as reliable as Elliot?“Goodbye, Mr. Presgrave.” As Jared held Nigel's hand, the boy lookedbehind and winked at Elliot, hinting the latter about the secret that onlythe two of them knew.

In the end, Nigel led Jared to his office. The more the former thoughtabout it, the more frustrated he felt. Instead of asking Elliot to sendJared over to me, why didn't

Anastasia contact me directly to go and pick Jared up?

Nigel turned to look at the little guy, who was sitting on the couch withhis little feet dangling in the air. Suddenly, Nigel noticed that Jared'sbeautiful facial features had started to become sharp, which caused theman to widen his almond-shaped eyes. What's going on? Why do I replacethat Jared seems to look a little like Elliot?

Jared's features and demeanor were very similar to Elliot's. The nextinstant, Nigel seemed to recall something, and he took out his phoneto scroll through his photo album. He remembered that he had kept aphoto of Elliot as a child-it was a photo that had been taken when hewas with Elliot.

After searching through a few albums, Nigel finally found the photo.Nigel looked at the little boy in the photo who had his arms aroundNigel's shoulder. At that point, Nigel's eyes nearly fell out of his sockets.In the photo, Elliot was a five-year-old kid and he looked exactly likethe little boy who was currently sitting on the couch. They had faces sosimilar that one seemed to be a duplicate of the other.

What kind of strange phenomenon is this? Anastasia’s son looks exactlythe same as Elliot when he was a kid! Nigel looked at himself in thephoto, at the boy who had Elliot's arm around his shoulder. Althoughhe had been an adorable kid as well, he had looked nothing like Jared.At that moment, Nigel felt as though he was burning in rage andjealousy. Is this a hint from God? That Elliot is going to beat me in thisrelationship?

Nigel glanced at the kid on the couch again, and the love he had forAnastasia was still strong. If I were to marry Anastasia, I wouldn't evermake the little guy sad, nor would I give him any younger brothers orsisters!
