Chapter 147 “Mr. Presgrave is extremely busy. Let's not take up any more of his time, okay?” Anastasia advised Jared.

To her dismay, Elliot had carried Jared instead. “I'm not busy. We can continue playing.” “Yay!” A happy Jared threw his arms around Elliot's neck before turning back to say to her, “Let's play together, Mommy.” Even though she was exasperated, she only sighed in response. “I'll take a stroll then. See you guys in a bit.” Hoping that the light exercise would aid with her digestion, Anastasia went for a walk around the neighborhood.

The clock had turned to nine just like that and she returned to the fitness area to see her son on the swings this time. Since Elliot was still pushing him, she could only head over and order, “We're going back to take a bath, Jared. You still have school tomorrow!” Hearing the sternness in his mother’s voice, Jared nodded obediently. “Alright, let's go home!” Anastasia glanced up at Elliot. “Why don’t you head home first?” “My car keys are still at your place, not to mention that I'd like a drink of water as well.” He hinted at going back to her apartment.

At that, she frowned. She thought he would be able to leave at that moment! Once they returned home, Anastasia took a look at her son’s sweaty body and decided that he needed to be bathed at once.

Thus, she told Elliot, who was drinking a glass of water on her couch, “I'm taking Jared to wash up. Just close the door behind you as you're leaving.” “Sure!” He nodded.

And so, she took her son into the bathroom. As they emerged from the bathroom after his bath, she discovered that Elliot was still on the couch.

A dumbfounded Anastasia then asked, “You haven't left yet?” “I'd like to rest for a moment more.” Elliot was sprawled out lazily on her couch, having no intention of leaving.

“Well, Jared has to sleep, so you can leave once you've rested enough!” she told him.

She forcefully called Jared into his bedroom, made him get into bed, and handed him a storybook. “Read by yourself quietly for a moment. You're not allowed to look for Mr. Presgrave anymore. He has to head home, okay?” “Okay.” Although Jared was clearly unhappy about it, he did not dare to dissent for he was afraid of being scolded.

After stroking his hair and giving him a kiss, Anastasia stood up and left the room.

When she emerged and found that Elliot was no longer on her couch, she couldn't help being relieved. He is finally gone! Remembering that her son's dirty clothes were still in the bathroom and wanting to toss them into the washer, she turned the knob to enter the bathroom.

Yet, right as she stepped one foot in, she realized that there was a man standing in front of her— toilet bowl, urinating...

“Ahhh!” Anastasia was so startled that she knocked her head against the doorframe before slamming the door shut again with a red face.

God! Not only had he not left, but she had just run into him doing something so embarrassing.

Even though his back was to her, she couldn't help but blush as her mind went blank.

At this moment, he walked out of the bathroom and glanced down at her, seated on the couch and clutching her head.

Concerned, he asked softly, “Does it hurt?” “W-Why are you still here?” Anastasia was truly exasperated.

“Do you really wish for me to leave that much?” After saying that, he moved toward the couch area only for her to move her head at the sight.

Then, she warned, “Don’t you touch me.” He leaned down and underneath the lamplight, his face was breathtakingly handsome.

Thinking that Elliot was about to kiss her, her eyes widened in warning, only for him to pull his cell phone out from next to her before he stood at his full height.

“Did you think | wanted to kiss you?” He smirked.

As Anastasia looked at the cell phone in his hand, her face burned with embarrassment. “See yourself out!” Elliot suddenly leaned down to pinch her jaw and thereafter pressed his lips against hers. Before she could react, he was already straightening his posture and heading toward the front door.

“How dare you!” “Just consider it a punishment for you peeking at me!” he answered without looking back.

“I didn’t see anything,” Anastasia protested angrily.

Having just arrived at the door, Elliot turned back and looked at her teasingly. “Yeah? | don’t suppose you regret it?”
