My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 243 His-And-Hers Necklaces

Harriet had been waiting for days to have a meal together with her grandson, and he finally returned to

Presgrave Residence to fulfill her wish.

They were both seated at the dining table when she asked hesitantly, “Elliot, did Anastasia really mean it

when she said she would never marry?”

“Relax, Grandma,” Elliot consoled. “Things change all the time.”

“I’ve been speaking to Nigel on the phone over the past few days. I was hoping that he could put more

effort into pursuing Anastasia romantically, and I told him not to give up just yet.”

Elliot’s spoon halted mid-way to his mouth as he sighed and said, “Grandma, Nigel and I both like the

same girl, and you should be encouraging me now that he’s backed off so that I can go on to pursue

her.”

Harriet’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “What? Are you pursuing Anastasia now? Does she reciprocate

your feelings?”

“I’m still working on making that happen, but don’t worry, Grandma. I promise I’ll marry her,” Elliot said

solemnly. For some reason, he was confident that he would make her his wife.

When Harriet saw how determined her grandson was about this, she chuckled. “Well, I know you’ll give it

your best shot. Don’t let me down, Elliot.”

“Got it.”

“By the way, do bring that little boy around here sometime soon. I want to take a look at him too,” Harriet

added expectantly.

“Now isn’t the right time, but give me a month and I’ll bring him back here to visit you.”

“Very well,” she conceded. “Talk to Anastasia about this and have her come by house whenever she’s

free.” She nodded slowly. Knowing that her grandson would take care of everything, she could afford to

wait patiently.

At 2.30PM, Anastasia was drinking coffee in her office while tweaking some design sketches on the table

when her extension line suddenly rang. She picked up the receiver and greeted, “Hello?”

“Anastasia, the customer has arrived. We have to go to Room 302 now.”

“Alright, I’m coming,” Anastasia said. She set her coffee aside and grabbed the relevant folder off her

desk before getting up to leave her office.

Room 302 was the VIP guest lounge. After Anastasia and Felicia met each other in the middle of the

hallway, they turned to make their way to the lounge. Felicia knocked on the door before entering, and

when she saw the girl seated on the couch, she was stunned.

On the other hand, Anastasia fell in step behind her. When she saw the customer, her eyes widened in

surprise as well, for the girl who was seated on the couch was not the same one who had placed orders

for the necklaces the other day. Instead, it was Hayley.

“Good day, Miss Seymour,” Felicia greeted enthusiastically after a few seconds of hesitation, and she

walked up to the girl with a friendly smile in place.

A million questions flooded Anastasia’s mind at that moment, but at the same time, she seemed to have

unraveled a great mystery. As it turned out, Hayley had asked someone to place the order for two

necklaces specifically designed by her. It would be of no surprise now if Hayley were to tell her that the

necklaces were for Elliot and herself.

After taking a deep breath, Anastasia sat down next to Felicia and glanced at Hayley, only to meet the

girl’s triumphant gaze as expected.

“Thank you for putting in such hard work to design these gorgeous his-and-hers necklaces, Anastasia.

I’m very pleased with them,” Hayley said as she crossed her legs. “I’m sure Elliot would love them once

he sets eyes on them too.”

Anastasia had nothing to say to her. Next to her on the couch, Felicia interjected politely, “We’re glad to

hear that, Miss Seymour. You’re a really important client of ours, and we know that Anastasia has the

impressive ability to create something special for you and your loved one.”

Hayley smirked as she eyed Anastasia viciously. “How about you personally give me your blessings,

Miss Tillman? Just a few nice words for my boyfriend and me for sentiment’s sake.”

At that moment, Anastasia felt like all the air had been sucked out from her lungs, and she bit out icily,

“I’m never one to give my blessings.”

“Oh, don’t be so frigid, Miss Tillman! Here, why don’t I help you start it off? You can never go wrong with

wishing us everlasting happiness, that we would grow old together and have a family of our own—stuff

like that!”

Felicia stepped in naturally and said soothingly, “In that case, on behalf of Miss Tillman and all the

employees here, I wish you and President Presgrave all the happiness in life, and that the both of you

will stick by each other through thick and thin. May you guys find wonderful companionship in one

another.”

However, Hayley quirked her lips unhappily and pointed out, “I don’t want you to give me your blessings,

Director Evans. It’s Miss Tillman’s I want.”

Felicia grew stiff in her seat, evidently flustered. Beside her, Anastasia knew how wicked Hayley could

get. Since she didn’t want to humiliate Felicia, she said begrudgingly, “Hayley, for the sake of getting you

to shut up about this, I wish you and Elliot all the happiness. There! Is that what you want to hear?”

Once she heard Anastasia’s words, Hayley’s smug smile widened. She was pleased to have the upper

hand here, and she snorted as she drawled, “Seeing as you’ve given us your blessings, Miss Tillman, I

will be ever so gracious and thank you for it. Elliot isn’t in the office now, so I’m going to need you to

personally deliver these necklaces to him later and tell him that you designed these for the both of us.”
