Chapter 71 Anastasia was grateful upon hearing Harriet’s kind intention, but nonetheless, she shook her head firmly. “You have no idea how thankful | am to know that you've never forgotten about my mother, but | don’t need you to repay me any favor. In fact, | only came here to say hello, not to accept any kind of offer.” An agitated Harriet seized Anastasia’s hand. “Girl, your mother is gone, which makes it my responsibility to take care of you.

Please! Let me treat you as my granddaughter.” Anastasia had no one else in her family other than her father ever since her grandparents passed away. Therefore, she couldn't help but feel touched in the face of Harriet’s benevolent smile.

“Girl, just think of me as your relative whom you can visit once in a while, okay? | know you and your mother are both righteous ladies, and I'm not asking for a lot because all | ever want is for you to live happily and peacefully.” Harriet sincerely gazed at Anastasia while looking forward to hearing her answer.

Soon, Anastasia eventually surrendered because she had no idea how to turn down the old madam. Although it was her first time meeting Harriet, she somehow had an intimate feeling that she hadn't felt for a long time. Thinking that she was blessed and fortunate to have a grandmother like Harriet, Anastasia nodded and responded, “Alright, Old Madam Presgrave.” Then, Harriet smiled happily and replied, “Great! Then, | have one more granddaughter now.” “Old Madam Presgrave, it’s time for you to take your medication now.” “Oh yeah! | still have to take my medication, Anastasia. Please take a seat first or take a walk around the garden. I'll come to you later.” “Sure, please go ahead and take your medication.” Anastasia nodded and watched Harriet leave, making her way to the garden as she was reluctant to head to the living room because she didn't want to see Hayley’s face.

Meanwhile, Elliot was showing Hayley around the Presgrave Residence when they took a stroll in the garden. Then, he stared at her face with his piercing gaze and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that you came to visit Grandma, Hayley?” Nonetheless, little did Elliot know that Hayley was actually just doing what she could to protect her interest because she wanted to keep her position level with Anastasia. If she is going to make the Presgrave Family pay her back, I'm going to earn their approval to even the odds.

“I'm in love with you, Elliot. | want to take things further with you.” Hayley gazed at the man with admiration as she completely bared her heart.

“Hayley, I'll make it up to you by giving you comfort and money,” Elliot answered gently, knowing clearly what he was doing.

Deep down, he was sure that he would only make it up to her without compromising his relationship status.

Meanwhile, Hayley was about to tell that he had been treating her really well lately by giving her everything she wanted, but unfortunately, she wanted more than that. “Elliot, are you in love with Anastasia?” She looked up and asked, her eyes filled with resentment and bigotry.

Nonetheless, Elliot only squinted without giving her an answer.

Hayley pretended to smile bitterly. “Well, Anastasia hates me, especially now that she knows we were once together before.

Furthermore, she was violated in the past, which left her scarred and distrustful toward men.” Elliot's face froze for a few seconds. Deep down, he somehow didn't like to hear anything about Anastasia with any other man.

“Alright, that's enough,” the man replied, appearing a little absent-minded.

At that moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a silhouette coming in their direction from behind the bushes and quickly realized it was Anastasia. Thus, she immediately collapsed into Elliot's embrace on purpose, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist. “Elliot, you're the first man | ever gave myself to, but | swear | will never fall in love with any other man in my life. | love you, Elliot.” He froze, keeping his head down with his eyes on Hayley as he was caught off guard by her unexpected confession. He calmly comforted her in panic and said, “Please don’t do this, Hayley.” “No! | can still remember your kiss and your every breath that night, the way you went wild when you were on me...” In the meantime, Anastasia was disgusted by Hayley and Elliot's touchy-feely interaction when she thought her walk in the garden would be peaceful and undisturbed. Oh gosh! Can't they pick some place else to do what they're doing? This is embarrassing!
