Chapter 198


    “My stomach hurts… Do you have anything to eat at home?” Elliot raised his head and asked. After


    drinking so much alcohol tonight, his stomach, which has always sustained itself on high grade


    whole foods, naturally could not take it.


    “Wait here. I’ll cook some noodles for you.” With that, Anastasia then went to the kitchen.


    Sitting on the sofa, he smiled warmly as he watched the person in the kitchen busying herself.


    No matter what she said, she still cared about him. It was just that she did not want to admit it.


    After ten minutes, Anastasia came out holding a bowl of noodles, of which the noodles were of low


    sodium. Normally, she would cook this for her son, but she now used it all to feed the man.


    Walking over, Elliot ate it without hesitation. Looking at the man under the light, it was even more


    evident that Jared’s face resembled his.


    Wait! What nonsense am I thinking about? They just have simr looking features, that’s all.


    While Elliot was eating the noodles, Anastasia went to clean up her room. Suddenly, her heart


    skipped a beat upon discovering that it was already 9 PM. Goodness! I haven’t even picked up my


    son yet!


    “Elliot, you’ll have to leave after eating. I need to go pick Jared up,” urged Anastasia.


    “I can let Rey go pick him up. It’s not safe for you, going out ale at night,” Elliot immediately


    replied.


    “Isn’t Rey’s father hospitalized?”


    Upon realizing that fact, Elliot paused for a few seconds before stating, “I’ll let my bodyguard pick


    him up.”


    Just then, Anastasia’s phone rang. Nigel’s calling me? Picking it up, she said, “Hello, Nigel. I’lle


    pick Jared up now.”


    “There’s no need for that. The little rascal has already fallen asleep here. Just let him stay over at


    my ce.” On the other end of the line, Nigelughed, obviously happy


    to have the boy apany him.


    “What? Jared’s already asleep? I’d hate to burden you, though.”

    “It’s nothing. Just let me try to be his father and sleep with him for one night!” Truth was, this was


    exactly what Nigel wanted.


    It was after a long while until Anastasia finally agreed. “A-Alright then. I’ll let Jared sleepover just for


    tonight. I’ll pick him up first thing tomorrow morning.”


    “Sure. Are you done with work? Are you outside or at home right now?”


    “I’m at home.”


    “Hey, Anastasia, I found out that Jared really looks like me, and his face resembles mine exactly


    when I was young. Say, don’t you think this is some special fate between him and I?” Nigel started


    to hint at her again.


    While talking, Anastasia slowly made her way to the balcony. Sheughed as shemented,


    “Jared resembles you when you were a child? How is that possible, though?”


    “He really does. If you don’t believe me, I can send my childhood pictures for you to see. The


    resemnce is uncanny!” Nigel kept emphasizing.


    “You don’t have to. I believe you. As long as you looked good as a child, that means that my son


    looks handsome too!”


    “Are you implying that I’m handsome too?”


    “You always were handsome.”


    “You like handsome guys, right? With me being so handsome, that means you like me too.” Nigel


    laughed out happily on the other end of the line.


    Anastasia, who was teased toughter by his joke, alsoughed out loud.


    Yet, at that moment, the man who was still eating the noodles at the table suddenly found the food


    to be nd and tasteless after hearing their conversation.


    Whenever this woman was with him, she would act like she was facing her mortal enemy, but when


    she was doing anything else with another man, she would always put on a smile and talk in a sweet


    voice.


    Do I really not deserve to see her smile?


    Meanwhile, Anastasia did not want to chat anymore and told Nigel. “I’ll have to trouble you then,


    Nigel. I’m going to take a bath now, so I’ll be hanging up first **


    “Alright. Remember to think about me.”


    “I will. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”


    “Alright! I’ll be looking forward to it.”


    “Okay. Goodbye.” Anastasia then hung up after that and just enjoyed the cool breeze on the


    balcony when suddenly, a cold husky voice came from behind her. “Someone had a grand old time


    with Nigel!”


    Looking back at the man who suddenly appeared on the balcony, she raised her eyebrows. “Have


    you finished your noodles?”


    “I have.”


    “Then you best be going! It’s getting quitete now. Oh—and I’m not going to pick Jared up tonight


    as he’ll be sleeping over at Nigel’s.”
