Chapter 186


    Chapter 186


    Anastasia didn’t expect that her son would tell Elliot about the banquet. Since things hade to


    that point, she had no choice but to trouble the man with taking care of Jared. And so, she


    immediately reced her initially angry tone with her usual one. “If it’s not too much of a hassle to


    you, please take care of him for me tonight. I’ll go and pick him up at around 9.00 PM.”


    “Sure!” Elliot unhesitatingly agreed and hung up the call.


    Gazing at the sunset in the distance, Anastasia fell into a daze, wondering whether it was a good


    thing that her son relied on Elliot so much.


    Oftentimes, the choices avable were limited. On one hand, she didn’t want Jared to depend on


    that man too much but on the other hand, she couldn’t help feeling relieved when the man took care


    of her son. In fact, she even trusted that man unconditionally.


    After Elliot ended the call with Anastasia, he instantly called another person.


    “Hello, Elliot! How can I help you?” Nigel’s voice rang from the other end of the call.


    Although the two men had made a bet, it didn’t affect the rtionship between them.


    “I need a favor from you. Will you help me to take care of a child?”


    “Whose child?”


    “Where are you?”


    “Where else? My father’spany, of course.”


    “Alright, I’ll send him over right now.”


    “You haven’t told me whose kid is that! And I don’t like to babysit,” Nigel grumbled.


    “It’s Anastasia’s boy. Are you not going to babysit him?” Elliot muttered in exasperation.


    “What? Jared? Jared’s with you now?” Nigel asked in surprise, then he rejoiced. “Send him over! I


    don’t like other kids, but Jared’s different.”


    Elliot ended the call on his Bluetooth earpiece before he said to the kid in the back


    seat. “I’m sending you to Nigel’s ce now, alright?”


    “Okay, Mr. Presgrave. You have to keep an eye on Mommy tonight and make sure that no man


    snatches her away!”


    “I’ll certainly keep a close eye on her.” Elliot chuckled. No men would be able to take her away


    under his watch.


    Soon, they arrived at a 7-star hotel, and Nigel was waiting downstairs to get the kid. When the car


    came to a stop, Nigel pulled open the car door of the back seat. He was surprised when he saw a


    child car seat in Elliot’s car and the little boy was safely strapped on the seat.


    “Mr. Nigel!” Jared politely greeted him.


    Meanwhile, Elliot walked up to Nigel and said, “Anastasia is tied up with something, so she asked


    me to send Jared to your ce. I’ll have to trouble you with him tonight.”


    Upon hearing that, Nigel felt a little displeased. I would go and pick Jared up if Anastasia gave me a


    call, so why did she get Elliot to send Jared over? Could it be that in her heart, I’m not as reliable as


    Elliot?


    “Goodbye, Mr. Presgrave.” As Jared held Nigel’s hand, the boy looked behind and winked at Elliot,


    hinting thetter about the secret that only the two of them knew.


    —


    CA


    In the end, Nigel led Jared to his office. The more the former thought about it, the more frustrated he


    felt. Instead of asking Elliot to send Jared over to me, why didn’t


    Anastasia contact me directly to go and pick Jared up?


    Nigel turned to look at the little guy, who was sitting on the couch with his little feet dangling in the


    air. Suddenly, Nigel noticed that Jared’s beautiful facial features had started to be sharp, which


    caused the man to widen his almond-shaped eyes. What’s going on? Why do I find that Jared


    seems to look a little like Elliot?


    Jared’s features and demeanor were very simr to Elliot’s. The next instant, Nigel seemed to recall


    something, and he took out his phone to scroll through his photo album. He remembered that he


    had kept a photo of Elliot as a child-it was a photo that had been taken when he was with Elliot.


    After searching through a few albums, Nigel finally found the photo. Nigel looked at the little boy in


    the photo who had his arms around Nigel’s shoulder. At that point, Nigel’s eyes nearly fell out of his


    sockets.


    In the photo, Elliot was a five-year-old kid and he looked exactly like the little boy who was currently


    sitting on the couch. They had faces so simr that one seemed to be a duplicate of the other.


    What kind of strange phenomenon is this? Anastasia’s son looks exactly the same as Elliot when he


    was a kid! Nigel looked at himself in the photo, at the boy who had Elliot’s arm around his shoulder.


    Although he had been an adorable kid as well, he had looked nothing like Jared.


    At that moment, Nigel felt as though he was burning in rage and jealousy. Is this a hint from God?


    That Elliot is going to beat me in this rtionship?


    Nigel nced at the kid on the couch again, and the love he had for Anastasia was still strong. If I


    were to marry Anastasia, I wouldn’t ever make the little guy sad, nor would I give him any younger


    brothers or sisters!
