Chapter 835
“I will do it. No matter how much it will cost.” Hayley’s eyes flashed with determination. For the sake of
beauty; for Elliot; and for the status of Mrs. Presgrave. I would do everything!
Looking at her determination, the doctor nodded and agreed.
Meanwhile, back in the country, Aliona found an excuse to knock on Elliot’s office door. She planned on
inviting him to dinner tonight since the scandal between them had unfortunately been proven to be
inaccurate. Everyone could tell that Elliot only cared about Anastasia at the welcome party.
Therefore, early in the morning, the staff from the Department of Design had spread the news around
the company. As a result, everyone stopped discussing the scandals.
“Come in.” Elliot’s voice sounded from the office.
Aliona pushed open the door and walked over with a bright smile. “Are you busy, Elliot?” she inquired.
“Do you need anything?” he asked as he closed the laptop.
“Are you free to have dinner together tonight? I want to ask you something.” She came up with a
reason
“I am not available for dinner. If you have any questions, please ask them now.” He declined her
request politely.
“Do you have anything important to do tonight, Elliot?” Aliona looked a little aggrieved.
Of course Elliot had important things to do tonight. He’d gone a few days without seeing Jared, so he
would accompany Anastasia later today to pick Jared up from school and have dinner at Anastasia’s
house.
“Yes. I have some important things to do.” Elliot nodded.
Aliona could tell that it must have been related to Anastasia. After all, no one could influence
Anastasia’s weight in Elliot’s heart.
“Forget it. It’s alright.” Aliona was deliberately acting depressed and trying to attract his attention.
“If it’s about work, you can ask Director Evans. She will take care of you,” Elliot comforted her and
glanced at his watch. “Aliona, you may leave now,” he added.
Now, it is time to pick up Jared.
Aliona had no choice but to leave the office and she couldn’t react even though she was annoyed,
When she returned to the office, she noticed Anastasia was carrying her bag and leaving work. Seeing
that, Aliona felt a stabbing pain in her heart. Are they going to leave together?
When Anastasia arrived at her car, Elliot was already there. His tall figure was leaning against her small
car and he looked even more charming than the male model.
“W-What are you doing standing next to my car?” she asked with a faint smile.
“I am coming with you to pick Jared up,” he replied as he arched his eyebrows.
“No, thanks. I can do this by myself.” Anastasia instinctively didn’t want to trouble him.
“Jared must have missed me. I have to come along.” After saying that, he held her wrist and walked
toward his car.
“Hey, hey! I am driving, Elliot,” she insisted.
“Your car is not safe enough. Take mine.” After Elliot settled her in the passenger seat, he quickly got
into the car.
Anastasia ended up picking up her son with him just like that.
She enjoyed the scenery along the drive. As she bent her head and glanced at her bracelet, she
quickly peeked at Elliot’s one. The matching bracelets of theirs looked so intimate that it made her
heart race.
Aside from that, the way Elliot held the driving wheel with one hand was such eye candy that caused
her heart to race even harder. She had been thinking too much in the past few days; that was why she
couldn’t look at his face as naturally as she used to.
When they arrived at Jared’s kindergarten, Elliot dragged Anatasia to the director’s office before she
could go to Jared’s classroom. It turned out that he wanted to apply to be in the facial recognition
record and collect the entry card.
While the young female teacher operated the facial recognition system, she couldn’t help but peek at
Elliot’s stunning face in the camera several times. Oh my, Jared’s father is so good-looking!
Throughout the process, Anastasia could only watch how Elliot socialized with the teacher. Before she
could even speak, he had already claimed himself to be Jared’s father and she couldn’t refute him in
front of the teacher either.
In fact, Anastasia had previously asked by the teacher about Jared’s father’s employment. At that time,
she had lied that he was abroad. Now, Elliot’s appearance had successfully covered up for her lie.
