Chapter 49


    After Rey finished speaking, he immediately tried to cover his mouth. He knew that Elliot didn’t want to hear this.


    Upon hearing this, Elliot snorted coldly. Nigel really has nothing to do all day long; he’s focusing all his efforts on pursuing


    women.


    As he narrowed his eyes, he reached out to dial the internal line.


    “Hello, who is it?” Anastasia’s sweet voice came from the other side.


    “| warned you not to get too close to my cousin. Are you not taking it seriously?” Elliot said coldly.


    “Why are you such a busybody, Elliot? You are the boss of thepany, but after work, you are nobody to me,” Anastasia


    retorted mulishly.


    Elliot''s face darkened at once. This woman really had the ability to be irritating.


    “If you dare to y with his heart—”


    “We''re just hanging out as friends. It’s none of your business.” Anastasia hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.


    Elliot''s face turned even gloomier. This woman is really uncouth. Why would Grandma want me to marry such a woman?


    After work, Anastasia was the first to rush out of the door of the office as she charged downstairs. Nigel’s off-road vehicle was


    parked at the front door, and it was particrly eye-catching.


    Soon, Anastasia got into the passenger seat of the car before she said to him, “Let’s go pick Jared up!”


    Nigel looked at the woman, who was still in her work uniform, and his fascination with her shed across his eyes. “You are the


    most beautiful woman | have ever seen in a uniform.”


    Anastasia felt delighted in her heart. “I like to hearments like this.”


    When they picked up the little boy at school, he was very happy. He sat in the safety seat specially prepared for him in the back,


    and he even sang a song he had just


    learned aloud.


    “Mom and Dad are going to work... and I’m going to school. | mustn’t cry or make trouble, but be good and greet my teacher


    good morning...”


    His bright and loud voice sounded happy as he sang. Anastasia pped along to the tempo, which encouraged Jared to sing


    even louder. In fact, he sang it several times. Even Nigel hummed along, and there was a happy atmosphere in the whole car.


    At the high-end restaurant, Nigel ordered a big meal. As he looked at the little boy''s handsome face, his wish to be the


    father of this child heightened in his heart. Although Jared was not his own child, he would definitely love Jared as if the boy was


    his biological son.


    Soon, his gaze fell on the woman opposite him. As long as she agreed, he would immediately marry her and give them both a


    safe and secure ce to call home.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    They walked around in the mall after dinner, and the little boy got a few more gifts. With that being said, Anastasia really


    disagreed with Nigel’s way of showing affection for her son. Fortunately, her son was not the kind of child who would be addicted


    to getting gifts.


    At 9.30PM, Nigel’s car was parked in front of Anastasia’s apartment. He felt distressed when he heard that it was rented to her


    by thepany. Thus, it seemed that it was time for him to show his ability. He decided to give her arge apartment unit in the


    city center tomorrow so that they could live in the safestmunity.


    “Come and give me a kiss before you go.” Nigel hugged the little boy, who kissed his cheek at once. Then, Nigel looked at the


    woman next to him and wanted her to kiss him too, but he didn’t have the courage to ask. At this point, he didn’t dare to show his


    intentions too much for fear of scaring her away.


    Anastasia waved goodbye as she held her son before heading back to her apartment. However, Nigel did not leave for a long


    time. As soon as Jared returned to the apartment, he asked the burning question that he had been thinking about all this time.


    “Mommy, do you think Uncle Nigel is a nice man?”


    “Yes, he is!”


    “Do you like him?”


    “| like him.” Anastasia neatly packed the toys away in the house while answering her son''s question.


    “In that case, do you want to marry him?” the little boy asked again.


    Anastasia’s hands froze while packing the toys. She couldn’t help but look back at her son as she smiled. “Jared, | only think of


    him as a friend!”


    The little boy didn’t quite understand the feelings between adults, though. Can’t they be together if they like each other?


    “Mommy, | think Uncle Nigel likes you very much.”


    A hint of helplessness shed in Anastasia’s heart. She could also feel that Nigel clearly had some romantic interest in her, but


    she felt that she was not worthy of him -he deserved a better woman.
