Chapter 88

Oh my God! I want to kick myself so badly!

Although the mic was already passed to her, Anastasia’s mind was completely blank, as she couldn’t

say it.

“Say it, Mommy!” At this moment, Jared, who was standing next to her, pulled on her pants anxiously.

Just then, Anastasia had no choice but to say into the mic quickly, “I love you, hubby.”

After saying that, she wanted to leave the stage immediately, but the headmistress’s relentless voice

rang out again.

“Why don’t we let Jared’s father give Jared’s mother a hug now?”

While Anastasia was dumbstruck, Elliot’s arm came snaking around her waist before she was pressed

against his chest and started smelling the scent of his male pheromones. Meanwhile, the crowd started

applauding before Anastasia finally came back to her senses and pushed Elliot away instinctively.

When they went down from the stage, Jared quickly went back to his seat while Elliot returned to his

seat next to Anastasia. However, Anastasia was afraid to look at Elliot and only wanted the family

activities to end as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the activities following that were family activities between children from other classes with

their mothers. Around 4.00 PM, the awards ceremony started, and Jared came back pleased with a

mini glass trophy of his own. Finally, Anastasia sighed in relief when the headmistress announced the

end of the ceremony because she couldn’t wait to leave with Jared.

When they got into Elliot’s car, all of the parents noticed that Elliot was driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom

that cost millions.

Meanwhile, in the car, Jared exclaimed, “Mr. Presgrave, you were so cool today!”

“I bet you’re tired! Let me treat you to dinner tonight,” Elliot turned around slightly and offered.

However, Anastasia rejected him. “It’s fine. I’m taking Jared home.”

“Mommy, Mr. Presgrave shouldn’t have to treat us to a meal because it’s the other

way round instead. Why don’t we head out to have a meal tonight? Your treat.” Jared had already had

everything planned out.

On the other hand, Anastasia didn’t want to appear stingy and ungrateful in front of Jared. Besides, she

realized that Jared was right, and she should repay Elliot for helping Jared out today.

“Fine. I’ll treat you to a meal, then.” Anastasia told the man who was driving.

“Sure. Where are we heading?”

“Let’s head to the restaurant that serves local cuisine below my house!” She didn’t want to travel far

because she still had to clean her son up afterward.

“We stay here,” Jared informed Elliot when he stopped by the street where Anastasia bought her new

place, after which Elliot nodded at the young boy.

The restaurant served local dishes, and the business was doing well. After Anastasia picked a table

close to the window and got seated, she ordered a few local delicacies, and their food was served in no

time. At the same time, Jared was still toying with his trophy on his seat.

“Eat up! Although this isn’t some fancy restaurant, the dishes here are not bad,” she offered the man

sitting in front of her.

“I’m not picky.” Elliot grabbed his utensils and started eating, while Anastasia picked some food for

Jared. From an outsider’s perspective, they looked just like a family of three. Right then, Anastasia

couldn’t help but feel relief that Jared was in an ordinary kindergarten, and the parents here didn’t have

wide social circles, so Elliot wasn’t recognized.

After dinner, while she was paying the bills, Jared walked around without paying any attention to his

surroundings and was about to run into a waitress who was rushing over with a few dishes.

“Jared, be careful.” Elliot quickly,pulled Jared behind him to protect him while the waitress got scared

before her tray tilted, and all of the dishes landed on Elliot’s arm.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry…” The waitress, who was an intern, started crying due to shock before she tried to

clean his arm in a hurry.

As Anastasia witnessed Elliot soiling his shirt to save Jared, she quickly rushed over to console the

crying waitress. “It’s alright. We stay nearby anyway.”

After leaving the restaurant, she had no choice but to invite Elliot over to clean himself up.

“Fortunately, the t-shirt that you wore for the parents’ activities just now is still in the car. You don’t mind

changing into that, do you?” Anastasia asked Elliot.

“Sure. I’ll take a shower at yours.” Obviously, a clean freak like Elliot wouldn’t choose to go home in a

soiled shirt. After getting the t-shirt from the car, Anastasia went home along with Jared and Elliot.

When Elliot saw Anastasia’s new place, he realized that it was bigger than the apartment that she used

to stay in, and it was cozier than before.
