Chapter 156

Chapter 156 The man stopped calling her when he failed to reach her with the first call. As Anastasia gazed at thebustling streets outside the window, she could not help but recall the image that she had seen earlier.There’s nothing going on between Elliot and me, so who he wants to share a kiss with should havenothing to do with me. Nonetheless, why am I feeling so mad for no reason? What’s wrong with himkissing Hayley? Plus, they have even done things that are more intimate than kissing, or perhaps it’sHayley who has been satisfying all his serual desires all along. Otherwise, it would be abnormal for a29-year-old man like him to not have any needs at all. Hence, Anastasia concluded that Hayley wasElliot’s current bedmate. D*mn! How dare he force his kiss on me if that’s the case?! I’m so pissed right now! When Anastasia picked her son up from the kindergarten, the little boy poked his head out from behindher. Taking a look around, he raised his little head to her and asked, “Mommy, where’s Mr. Presgrave?Why is he not here?” “He’s not coming tonight. He has something else he needs to take care of,” Anastasia explained as sheled Jared by his hand and walked out of the school compound. Just then, the boy’s eyes lit up inexcitement. He broke away from her grip and cried, “Mommy, you lied to me! Mr. Presgrave is here!” After he said that, he dashed in a direction. At that, Anastasia turned to look and spotted Elliot’simposing figure. From a dozen meters away, she was able to feel the sharp stare from his eyes that was as dark asnight. Her expression fell and she stared back at him.

Doesn’t he have a date with Hayley? Why is he here now? “Mr. Presgrave!” The little boy ran up to the man and jumped at him, and Elliot quickly spread his armsand picked the boy up in a movement that seemed particularly natural. “Mr. Presgrave, Mommy said that you are very busy so you couldn’t come!” Jared said as he cockedhis head to one side. “I’ll still come and pick you up from school no matter how busy I am.” After Elliot said that, he extended

his hand and caressed the boy’s head. “Let’s get in the car.” Elliot knew that as long as he got the boy into the car, Anastasia would definitely follow along. Also, hehad fixed something special in his car that day-a child car seat. Anastasia initially planned to get Jared to take the cab together with her, but upon seeing him enterElliot’s car, she had no choice but to walk over to them. “I thought that you had a date? Why are you here then?” she muttered with a cold chuckle. Instead of answering her, Elliot closed the door of the back seat and darted a cold look at her before hequestioned in dissatisfaction, “Why didn’t you pick up my call?” “Did you call me? I didn’t hear it.” Anastasia lied smoothly and she did not even blink. Elliot knew that she didn’t pick up his call on purpose, yet there was nothing he could do but explain, “Itwas a misunderstanding. Something got into Hayley’s eye and I was just helping her to check her eye.” However, Anastasia found his explanation ridiculous. “President Presgrave, why are you explaining it tome? There’s nothing for me to misunderstand since I don’t care what sort of relationship you have withHayley.” At that, she flashed a bright smile at him. Elliot’s expression was stiff when he heard that, and his gaze was as dark as night. At the moment, hewas in an awful mood as frustration bubbled up inside him. “Anastasia, let me repeat myself-Hayley and I are merely friends,” Elliot suddenly held her arms andannounced in a domineering manner. “President Presgrave, why are you explaining it so clearly to me? Your relationship with Hayley hasnothing to do with me at all.” Anastasia scoffed in response, her gaze on him cold. With that, she forcefully broke away from his grip, pulled open the car door to the back seat andentered the car. Throughout the drive, Elliot chatted with the boy. He asked what class Jared had had in the day, whathe had had for lunch and even what he had done in the afternoon. Throughout, Jared happilyanswered all the questions. Meanwhile, Anastasia looked outside the window with her arms folded across her chest, thinking aboutwhat to cook that night. Then, she said to Elliot, “Let’s buy some groceries at the mini market below mynovelbin

apartment.” “Sure,” he responded as he glanced at her with his bottomless eyes from the rear mirror.Coincidentally, she happened to look into the mirror, so their gazes met. Upon seeing that, Anastasia immediately turned away as she was reluctant to meet his eyes.
