Chapter 236 An Assertion of Dominance
Soon, it turned out that neither of what Anastasia was expecting happened as the man propped his body
with his arms on his car frame and bent over slightly. The next second, he spoke with a magnetic voice,
“I’ve been waiting for you at your doorstep. Hurry up and get inside.”
Before Anastasia could react, Elliot went to the backseat and greeted Jared with a gentle smile. “Hello,
Jared.”
“Mr. Presgrave, you’re not mad, are you?” the child asked.
“Of course, I’m not.” Elliot smiled as he worked past his anger about the 28 missed calls that Anastasia
didn’t pick up earlier. However, when he shifted his gaze to Oliver, his eyes were like a sharp blade,
warning him not to get any closer to the lady.
Needless to say, Oliver understood the man’s warning gesture, knowing that Elliot was trying to assert
his dominance over Anastasia.
After the car in front of Anastasia made its way, Anastasia turned her attention to Elliot and said, “I’ll park
my car in the basement first.”
Then, she went ahead to park her car in a serious manner after locating a nice parking lot. In the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmeantime, Oliver caught a glimpse of the side view of Jared’s face, feeling shocked by what he saw
when he was trying to remind the kid to bring his belongings out of the car with him. This kid looks just
like the man we just met. Is he the father of this boy? So, does that mean Anastasia bore a child for her
boss?
Although Oliver was not someone who was afraid of trouble, he was a man with a sense of shame within
him. At the same time, he pitied himself for having to give up the idea of wooing Anastasia before he
even had the chance to do anything. “Anastasia, I’ll deliver your computer to you in a while.”
“Sure, I’m going to be working overtime later anyway.” Anastasia expressed her gratitude, whereupon
she entered the elevator with her son and made their way to the 15th floor. As soon as they stepped out
of the elevator, Anastasia was greeted by the sight of a man leaning against the wall with a gloomy look
on his face.
“Have you eaten, Mr. Presgrave?” Jared asked the man in a concerned manner.
“No, I haven’t.” Elliot shook his head in exhaustion.
The child told his mother, “Mom, Mr. Presgrave hasn’t eaten yet!”
“Why didn’t you eat dinner?” Anastasia looked at the man in surprise after hearing her son’s words.
“I’m not hungry.” The man grunted unhappily.
When she heard Elliot’s reply, Anastasia couldn’t help but frown at his unconcerned attitude about his
own health, asking herself deep down whether he wasn’t afraid that his health would worsen because of
that. After opening the door, she entered the house with her son as the man followed them and closed
the door behind him.
“What would you like to eat? Is there anything I can cook for you?” She turned around and asked.
“Maybe some spaghetti will do.” Elliot wasn’t particular with what he was going to eat as long as it was
prepared by her.
On the other hand, Anastasia put down her purse and walked toward the refrigerator, feeling fortunate
that she still had the ingredients she needed in it. She then took some chicken and a jar of marinara
sauce out of the refrigerator before she began cooking. While Anastasia was busy preparing Elliot’s
meal, Jared stayed in the living room to keep the man company.
In order to keep the air in her house fresh, she closed the kitchen door when cooking, but at that
moment, the doorbell rang just when Jared said, “It must be Mr. Shaw who has come to deliver Mom’s
laptop.”

When Oliver opened the door, he was greeted by the sight of a tall, buff man who stunned him. “Where is
Anastasia?”
“She is busy, so just pass me the computer.”
“Well… I still need to take care of the installation for her.” Oliver insisted on finishing his business despite
the pressure Elliot was giving him.
“No need for that. From now on, she will no longer require your service to fix her computer.” He extended
his arms and took the computer away from Oliver’s embrace while staring at Oliver. “Stay away from her
and leave her alone.”
Before Oliver could react, the door was shut right in front of him. Then, when he snapped out of his
trance and made sense of what was going on, the man’s face began to seem familiar to him. Where
have I seen him before?
Deep down, Oliver believed he had seen Elliot’s face before, thinking it was probably on the list of the
world’s richest men. Therefore, he made his way to the elevator while reaching for his phone, browsing
through the list of the world’s richest men on the internet. Soon, he found an analysis of the richest men
in the world for the last five years, feeling shocked and stupefied when he saw the first person’s picture
on the top of the list.
