Chapter 79

Chapter 79 “No, I don’t.” Anastasia frowned while giving him a reply. Thus, Elliot returned to the couch and sat down, keeping an eye on the lady as she prepared a meal for all three of them in the kitchen. At that moment, he somehow felt as if there was an energy in the small apartment that rid him of his tiredness and made him feel relaxed. Within an hour, Anastasia made Jared’s favorite mushroom chicken, several vegetable dishes, and corn soup made with bone broth. On the other hand, Elliot remained seated on the couch while watching her for that one hour, somehow feeling he couldn’t have enough of it the longer he kept his eyes on her. What’s wrong with me? Meanwhile, Jared intentionally hid in the room because he wanted to give Elliot and his mother some private space so that they could grow on each other. Deep down, he wished that Elliot could be his father one day. Despite the child’s young age, he could tell that his mother only treated Nigel as her friend, thinking that she had no intention of marrying him at all. Therefore, he was trying to see whether Anastasia would fall for Elliot instead. When Anastasia served the dishes, she coldly stared at the man who was sitting on the couch in a graceful and handsome manner. “Dinner time.” Then, she went to her son’s room and knocked on the door to tell him that dinner was ready.

Jared opened the door and looked back at the man on the couch. “Mr. Presgrave, let’s wash our hands and get ready for dinner!” “Alright.” Elliot took Jared to the washroom and made sure he washed his hands properly. Then, he walked toward the dining table and was greeted by the sight of those appetizing dishes. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, he found them even more tantalizing than the food from a five-star restaurant. In the meantime, Anastasia wiped her hands and stepped out of the kitchen before she caught sight of the man laying the table. She started digging in after making sure that her son was able to pick up the dishes and place them on his plate. NôvelDrama.Org content.

“Help yourself, Mr. Presgrave.” Jared placed some dishes on Elliot’s plate. “How is my mom’s cooking, Mr. Presgrave?” he asked. -“Not bad.” “You should drop by more often and join us for dinner then.” Jared told the man. “Sure!” Elliot answered almost immediately. Anastasia, who was chewing her food, nearly spat it out as she looked at her son in puzzlement. What’s wrong with my boy? Why is he trying to make my life so hard? It’s tiring enough for me to come home from work after a long day, and now I’m supposed to cook for one more guest? Like hell I’m going to do that. “Mr. Presgrave, can you raise my mom’s pay? The boy looked at the man with his smiling eyes. Upon hearing that, Anastasia paused when she was eating and stared at Elliot who was sitting opposite her, wondering if he would really raise her pay. Soon, the man looked at Jared and directly answered, “Sure, I’ll raise her pay tomorrow.” Then, Anastasia pondered for a while and realized the next day was the fifth of the month, which was the day that she usually received her pay. Therefore, she couldn’t help but think to herself if Elliot would keep his word. After dinner, Anastasia began washing the dishes in the kitchen while Jared took Elliot to his room and played with him. By the time it was 8.30PM, Anastasia looked at the man who was sitting on her son’s bed and told him the time, implicitly suggesting that he should leave. “It’s getting late, President Presgrave. Then, Elliot rubbed Jared’s head and said, “Alright, it’s time for me to go.” “I’ll see you during the parent-child program, Mr. Presgrave!” “Sure! I’ll be there.” Elliot promised the child that he would be present on that day. When Elliot stepped out of the apartment unit, Anastasia pointed to a bag of garbage and gazed at the man. “President Presgrave, please take the trash out for me. There is a dumpster at the entrance.” Despite his status as the Presgrave Family’s great son, Elliot took the trash with him without complaining at all, and it melted Anastasia’s heart a little. Well, I guess he is quite a nice person, although he may be somewhat domineering at times.
