Night of Destiny

Chapter 221 I'll Go and Get It From You With that, Anastasia stepped back inside the room and shut the front door, leaving Elliot outside on his own.

Jared, on the other hand, was brought to the couch and lectured. The little boy pouted and finally mumbled after a long while, “But | like Mr. Presgrave.”

“Well, don’t. And never call him without my permission ever again. He’s a big boss, and he’s super busy, understand, Jared?” Anastasia knew only by telling Jared Elliot was swamped with work that he would eventually stop approaching Elliot.

Jared nodded, expressing that he got it. But deep down, he genuinely liked Elliot, for he saw a father in that man. Oh, how he wished his mother would marry Elliot so that he could be his father.

Anastasia felt bad for her little boy despite reprimanding him, as it was her fault, to begin with. She shouldn’t have let Jared grow attached to Elliot.

She decided that she would never make such mistakes ever again. It was time she and Elliot drew a line. They shouldn’t be in this ambiguous relationship any longer.

Anastasia mulled over many things when she lay in bed that night, mainly about Elliot. She wondered when this man filled every corner of her mind, so much so that she couldn’t even chase him away.

But even so, she couldn’t let this go on. If she really couldn’t chase him away, she'd find another man to replace him. It was just aman. No matter how desperate she got, she would never share a man with Hayley.

To Anastasia, Elliot’s entire body was long enveloped in Hayley’s stench. It was the repulsive kind that would suffocate her as soon as she got three feet close.

That night, Hayley played drunk and brought Daniel to her room. Under her seduction, they rolled around in bed despite Daniel's feigned rejection. Yes, Hayley did the deed that night as she proclaimed, just that it wasn’t with Elliot. While Daniel was asleep, Hayley took a few sneaky pictures. She could use them to fool Anastasia into thinking Elliot was sleeping with her.

After a night's deliberation, Anastasia woke up with an eased mind the following morning. She wouldn’t have to worry anymore after she cleared her mind and planned out her future.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

She had no time to waste on such things. She had to work hard and earn money, for her son was her everything. Apart from Jared, no one was worth her time and energy. Making money is the top priority.

It wasn’t until after Anastasia dropped Jared off at school that she realized she had left her sketches at home. With that, she headed back home to retrieve it. On her journey, she got a call from Felicia telling her to come in for a meeting.

After hanging up, Anastasia accidentally left her cell at the back of the cab, and soon after she got out, the cab driver picked up another passenger not far away. As soon as the young man opened the car door, he found a phone sitting in the back seat. Judging from the phone case, he assumed it belonged to a lady.

As soon as he unlocked the phone, a little boy’s face popped up, and his heart melted a little. With that, he called the last person the owner of this phone contacted.

Meanwhile, while Felicia was listening to her subordinate speak in the meeting, her phone buzzed. She took a gander at it and looked toward Anastasia with surprise. “Are you calling my number?”

Anastasia shook her head in response. “No!”

“But your ID is showing up on my phone.”

“Oh, no! | must have left my phone in the cab. Answer it.” Anastasia immediately got what was going on.

With that, Felicia answered the call. “Hello?”

“Hi, are you a friend of this phone’s owner? She left it in a cab.”

“I'm her boss. She happens to be right next to me. I'll let her talk to you.” And Felicia handed her phone to Anastasia. With that, Anastasia hurriedly took it and walked out of the conference room. “Hi, I’m the owner of the phone you found.”

“Hi, Miss. I’m running an errand. Why don’t you give me your address, and I'll bring your phone to you later?” A clear and melodious young man’s voice sounded on the other end of the line.

“Thank you, but | should go and get it from you instead.”
