Chapter 319 Perhaps | Was Overthinking Riley was like a father to her in Aliona’s heart.

“Good girl. | didn’t take care of you in vain. Well, | will wait for your good news.” He was also in a good mood as he had confidence in his beautiful goddaughter.

“Don't worry, Father. You don’t have to be concerned about me,” Aliona replied confidently.

In the office, Anastasia had decided to bury herself in work. However, she found herself lacking inspiration after just a few strokes on the paper.

At that very moment, her cell phone rang. “Hello?” she said as she picked up the phone.

“Anastasia, our company is holding a welcome party tomorrow night. Are you available?” Felicia asked over the phone.

“Is this Aliona’s welcome party?” Anastasia inquired while she scowled.

“Yes. President Presgrave has agreed to hold the party as well. | was thinking that you might have to look after Jared. So, if you don't have time—" For some reason, Felicia had hoped that Anastasia would refuse to attend the party.

However, Anastasia wanted to see how Aliona and Elliot showed off their relationship, so she briskly answered, “I am free. | will join.” “Anastasia, it's just a bunch of people getting excited and talkative. You really don't have to join.” Felicia did not want Anastasia to get hurt since there would be a lot of interaction between Elliot and Aliona.

Anastasia understood that Felicia was being thoughtful. But why should | avoid them? | am not afraid. | ain't afraid of anything.

“Felicia, | am available. | will be there.” She didn’t want to miss out on this welcome party.

After hanging up the phone, Anastasia checked the clock and realized that it was already 4.30PM—it was time to go and pick up her son. Before she left, she glanced at the landline phone, as if she was anticipating something to happen, but she quickly shook it off and proceeded to leave.

As soon as Anastasia picked Jared up, he was disappointed. “Why is Mr. Presgrave not coming with you, Mommy?” he asked.

With his words, her heart became bitter. She didn’t know how to tell Jared that his Mr. Presgrave would no longer be coming to pick him up.

“Mr. Presgrave has been very busy lately, so you may not see him for a while,” she comforted Jared as she turned to him and smiled. “I came to pick you up on time today. Where do you want to go? | will accompany you.” “I want to go to the playground,” Jared replied.

“Okay. Playground it is!” Anastasia said since she had decided to spend some quality time with Jared tonight.

Anastasia finally came home with Jared, who was exhausted from playing, at around 9.00PM. The little boy took a bath and promptly fell asleep, after which it was time for Anastasia to return to work after putting her son to sleep.

She sat in front of the window with a cup of tea in her hands. Her mind was usually clear at this time and inspiration came easily to her, but at this moment, her mind was occupied by a strong and domineering figure.

It was Elliot again.

Anastasia was speechless. She stared at the sky and knocked her head frantically. “Why do I keep thinking about him? Show some guts, Anastasia. This kind of man is not worth thinking about anymore,” she said to herself.

She turned her head around and intended to rise to her feet, but her gaze was drawn to the wall beside the door. Last time, Elliot pressed her against the wall and forcefully kissed her. Then she turned to look at the bed where he had made a pass at her.

“Elliot, you b*stard. If | were to miss you again, | would be an idiot,” she cursed as she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Elliot was a scumbag and she did sympathize with Aliona because Aliona had no idea how shameless this man was.

For Elliot, forcibly kissing someone was as casual as eating a piece of cake.

Lying on the bed, Anastasia thought about Harriet's birthday banquet and the romance that Elliot gave to her in the bamboo forest at Harriet's place. His kiss, his eyes, and his sweet words. Was it just an act on his part? He also said that in the eyes of a lover, even if she looked like a pig, she would be the most beautiful pig in his eyes. If Anastasia remembered it correctly, he had mentioned it just a few days ago! However, he had already fallen in love with someone else in the blink of an eye.

Hmph, | should never believe what a man says.

She even remembered that Elliot said he wanted to bribe her.

And he also mentioned that he only wanted her.

In the past, whenever Elliot sweet-talked her, she just took them as a passing wind, but at this moment, every word he had said was ringing in her ears.

When he kissed her, Anastasia had thought that this man genuinely liked her, which was why he went to such lengths just to make a pass at her. Was all of these just an illusion? Perhaps | was overthinking things? mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
