Chapter 366 Requesting for a Long Holiday

Therefore, even if Old Madam Presgrave had threatened to crash the stock market in order to save her

grandson, it was completely understandable.

Due to such immense pressure, the police force could only do their best to save the young Elliot. After

all, it was their responsibility to do so.

If it weren’t for the continuous pressure from their superiors, would Anastasia’s mother still be alive?

Would Anastasia be able to spend her childhood with a mother without having to lose someone she

loved dearly?

It had been a long time since Anastasia missed her mother so much, and her mother had been an

imaginary figure as far as she could remember. She didn’t even have a single memory of her mother,

for she had only been one year and eight months old back then.

Back then, Anastasia wasn’t aware of anything yet. There were only photos of her mother looking at

her tenderly, and that triggered Anastasia’s emotions as tears started rolling down her face. She felt

heartbroken.

She didn’t resent anyone, but she didn’t want to see anyone from the Presgrave Family either,

including Elliot.

She thought the only thing she could do was to cut her ties with the Presgrave Family and never

involve herself in their affairs anymore. Only then could she return justice to her mother.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and she could guess who it was.

However, she didn’t want to get up, let alone open the door.

“Anastasia… It’s me. Can you open the door?” It was Elliot’s voice.

The knocks on the door stopped for a while, but they quickly resumed. It seemed that Elliot was

determined to see her, or else he wouldn’t leave.

After wiping off her tears and composing herself, Anastasia washed up and walked toward the door.

Her gaze wasn’t fixed on Elliot, who was standing outside. Instead, she uttered indifferently, “You

should go. I don’t want to see you.”

Hearing that, Elliot was flustered. He didn’t know what Riley had told her, but it was definitely

something that hurt her deeply.

“Why don’t you want to see me?” Elliot inquired hoarsely.

Anastasia’s eyes instantly turned red as she looked up at him, saying, “I just don’t want to see you.

Don’t come and find me, and don’t try to contact us again. You and your family better stay away from

mine.”

“Anastasia…” Just as Elliot wanted to say something, what came in response was a shut door.

As he stood outside, Elliot was perplexed. Anastasia’s words were like needles piercing his heart,

making him struggle to breathe.

He could sense the hint of resentment in her eyes. What on earth had Riley told her?

Why did he make her hate the Presgrave Family?

In reality, that wasn’t the case. Anastasia didn’t hate the Presgrave Family; she just couldn’t accept

what the Presgraves did back then to save Elliot.

If the Presgraves hadn’t done that, would her mother still be alive today?

While closing her eyes, Anastasia realized that Elliot would have been dead at the age of six if her

mother were still alive today.

As that thought came into mind, she felt a pain in her chest that suffocated her.

Anastasia was greedy, for she wanted Elliot and her mother to both be alive.

In a while, she was going to bring her son home, draw lines with the Presgrave Family, and live a

happy life with her son without the involvement of the Presgraves.

Nigel could hear the determination in her voice through the phone, so he sent Jared back to her house

before dinnertime.

“Mommy!” Jared hopped down from the car and ran toward Anastasia.

She carried her son and turned to Nigel, who was getting off the car just then. She said, “Thank you for

taking care of Jared.”

“It’s my responsibility. Are you alright?” Nigel inquired with concern.

“I’m fine.”

“Why is your eat hurt, Mommy?” Jared’s sharp eyes immediately noticed the injury on her ear and cried

out loud.

“I just got a minor scratch. Don’t worry,” Anastasia reassured her son with a smile.

However, Nigel knew what she had been through. His gaze was laced with concern as he looked at

her. “No matter what, Elliot and I will do our best to help you.”

“Thanks. You should go now!” After saying that, Anastasia held her son’s hand and went home.

On the way back to their house, they saw two people who looked rather familiar. “Mommy, aren’t they

Mr. Presgrave’s bodyguards?”

In response, Anastasia denied while saying, “No. They aren’t.”

Though Elliot had already left, his two subordinates were guarding downstairs while Anastasia brought

Jared back home.

She wanted to apply for an extended holiday and not return to the office for the time being.

If they did not approve her request, she would simply resign.
