Chapter 77

“It's work-related.” Elliot finished his sentence and hung up the callbefore Anastasia could do so.

Meanwhile, Anastasia had no choice but to make her way to thepresident's office. Upon knocking on the door and entering the office,she was greeted by the sight of the man who was wearing a white shirt.There was an attractive look in his eyes which seemed like they weretrying to charm her. She walked closer and asked, “What are yourorders, President Presgrave?”

Elliot looked at the woman calmly. “Are you confident with your designin the jewelry fair this time? Do you think you'd be able to win theprize?”

"Of course, I'm confident.” Anastasia curled her lips and smiled.

“I've raised the prize from 100,000 to a million, so if you can win theprize, the money will be all yours.” Elliot sluggishly lay back in his chair,his eyes lighting up like a charming womanizer.

In the meantime, Anastasia couldn't help but think about Elliot'salternative careers if he wasn't a businessman. He could even be asuperstar in the entertainment industry with

his good looks. On another note, Anastasia was confident that shecould win the reward to worth one million; she was even planning tosave the money for her son so that he

wouldn't have to worry about his future later on. “It's about time. I needto make a move now.” Anastasia implied that she had to get going.“I'm almost done as well. Let me give you a ride to pick Jared up.”"There's no need for that, but thanks for the offer anyway.” Anastasiaturned down Elliot's kind offer.

Elliot squinted and stared at her without blinking. “I promised mygrandma to look after you and your son.”

Although Anastasia had no problem getting along with Harriet, shedidnt feel the same way with Elliot, so she rejected him once again.“We don't need you to look after us.”

Ten minutes later, Anastasia made her way downstairs and stood by thesidewalk to flag down a taxi when a black silhouette pulled up in frontof her. Then, the car — window rolled down as Elliot said firmly, “Get in.”However, Anastasia responded with an unfriendly gawk. She found himannoying because he wouldn't stop following her despite her rejection.At that moment, a taxi pulled up before Elliot's vehicle and Anastasiapromptly pulled open the door before entering it. As soon as the taxistarted moving, Elliot followed right behind the car in his Rolls-RoycePhantom.

As Anastasia turned around and eyed the tailing vehicle coldly, shecursed in her heart and questioned the man’s intentions in a frustratedmanner. What is this guy trying to do?

By the time Elliot arrived at the school gates, he saw Anastasia enteringthe school shortly before she came back out while holding Jared'shand. When the little boy saw the handsome man leaning against hiscar with his eyes on them, he happily let go of his mother's hand andgreeted him in excitement by saying, “Mr. Presgrave.” He then scurriedtoward the man the moment he finished his sentence.

Needless to say, Elliot happily crouched down and embraced the childwith his arms. The next second, he carried the boy and allowed him tosit on his muscular arm with immense joy. At the same time, they wereapproached by a father and son who asked, “Jared, is this your father?”Jared looked at his classmate and shifted his gaze to the man, ready toshake his head in response just when Elliot smiled and replied, “Yes, I'mJared's father indeed.” While Jared was stunned to hear that, Anastasia,who was walking closer, glared at the man and grumbled to herselfabout his questionable motive to pose as her son's father.

As soon as the father and son left, Jared turned his attention to Elliot.“Mr. Presgrave, can you be my daddy for the time being?”

“Do you really want me to be your dad?" Elliot asked.

"Of course!”

“No way!” Anastasia interrupted the man and the child's conversation,berating Elliot for echoing her son's childishness.

“Mom, my teacher said there will be a parent-child program this month,and everyone will bring their father along. Therefore, I'd like Mr.Presgrave to do me a favor and act as my father for the time being sothat I can participate in the program.”

“Isn't there a program for mothers to attend with their children?”“There is one, but only girls get to attend that program with theirmothers. The boys have been told to participate in this event with theirfathers,” Jared answered.

After hearing her son's explanation, Anastasia was surprised that Jared'skindergarten didn't consider those children who were fatherless, butshe didn’t blame the school for that.

Elliot replied firmly, “Alright, I'll take part in this parent-child programwith you.”
