Room for You

Chapter 77

Chapter 77 “It’s work-related.” Elliot finished his sentence and hung up the call before Anastasia could do so. Meanwhile, Anastasia had no choice but to make her way to the president’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 were trying to charm her. She walked closer and asked, “What are your orders, President Presgrave?” Elliot looked at the woman calmly. “Are you confident with your design in the jewelry fair this time? Do you think you’d be able to win the prize?” “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 the prize, 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’s alternative careers if he wasn’t a businessman. He could even be a superstar in the entertainment industry with his good looks. On another note, Anastasia was confident that she could win the reward to worth one million; she was even planning to save the money for her son so that he

wouldn’t have to worry about his future later on. “It’s about time. I need to 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.” Anastasia turned down Elliot’s kind offer. Elliot squinted and stared at her without blinking. “I promised my grandma to look after you and your son.” Although Anastasia had no problem getting along with Harriet, she didn’t 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 the sidewalk to flag down a taxi when a black silhouette pulled up in front of her. Then, the car – window rolled down as Elliot said firmly, “Get in.”

However, Anastasia responded with an unfriendly gawk. She found him annoying because he wouldn’t stop following her despite her rejection. At that moment, a taxi pulled up before Elliot’s vehicle and Anastasia promptly pulled open the door before entering it. As soon as the taxi started moving, Elliot followed right behind the car in his Rolls- Royce Phantom. As Anastasia turned around and eyed the tailing vehicle coldly, she cursed in her heart and questioned the man’s intentions in a frustrated manner. What is this guy trying to do? By the time Elliot arrived at the school gates, he saw Anastasia entering the school shortly before she came back out while holding Jared’s hand. When the little boy saw the handsome man leaning against his car with his eyes on them, he happily let go of his mother’s hand and greeted him in excitement by saying, “Mr. Presgrave.” He then scurried toward the man the moment he finished his sentence. Needless to say, Elliot happily crouched down and embraced the child with his arms. The next second, he carried the boy and allowed him to sit on his muscular arm with immense joy. At the same time, they were approached 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 to shake his head in response just when Elliot smiled and replied, “Yes, I’m Jared’s father indeed.” While Jared was stunned to hear that, Anastasia, who was walking closer, glared at the man and grumbled to herself about 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 so that I can participate in the program.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Isn’t there a program for mothers to attend with their children?” “There is one, but only girls get to attend that program with their mothers. The boys have been told to participate in this event with their fathers,” Jared answered. After hearing her son’s explanation, Anastasia was surprised that Jared’s kindergarten didn’t consider those children who were fatherless, but she didn’t blame the school for that. Elliot replied firmly, “Alright, I’ll take part in this parent-child program with you.”
