Chapter 347 Creating an Opportunity


    “Mommy, are you and Uncle Elliot getting married?” Jared immediately asked in surprise.


    Anastasia hurriedly exined, “Uncle Nigel is joking, so don’t take it seriously.”


    Upon hearing those words, Nigel couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and look at Elliot. It seemed like he was asking, Dude, why


    haven''t you seeded yet?


    When Elliot met Nigel''s eyes, he returned with a helpless look. After all, it wasn’t as if Nigel didn’t know that going after Anastasia


    would be a tough challenge.


    The four of them had a good dinner. While they were still seated at the dining table, Nigel said he had left the gift he bought at


    home, so he coaxed Jared into staying at his house for the night. Jared agreed to it immediately after hearing Nigel’s words, and


    Anastasia couldn’t do anything to stop him.


    “Jared, if you don’t behave, I’m going to be angry!” Anastasia knew very well that Nigel wanted to create an opportunity for her


    and Elliot!


    However, she didn’t need it at all!


    “Leave Jared to me, and | will send him to school tomorrow. You don’t have to worry since I’m the most reliable person you can


    think of,” said Nigel as he took Jared by the hand and ran to his car as quick as a sh.


    “Nigel... Jared,e back!” Anastasia shouted as she chased after them, but Jared giggled and ran toward Nigel''s car. Not long


    after that, she watched as the man’s car pulled away and left.


    At that point, Anastasia didn’t know whether tough or cry. For one, she felt at ease with Nigel taking care of Jared because she


    often entrusted her son with his care whenever she went abroad. However, without her son by her side, what would that be like


    with her and Elliot?


    Upon realizing the situation, Elliot appreciated Nigel’s gesture of creating an opportunity for him while having his back.


    “Come on! Let''s get in the car.” Elliot took Anastasia by the hand and strolled toward his car, wasting no time at all.


    Meanwhile, Anastasia was extremely speechless. The intimacy level she had with him had already exceeded the limit for that


    day, and she had no intention of carrying on.


    Once they got into the car, Elliot turned to ask her, “How about a drive?”


    “Just send me home! | still have work to do.” Anastasia made an excuse so she could leave him. She was not afraid of him, but


    she was worried that she wouldn''t be able to control her feelings.


    “Which do you think is more important? Work, oring with me for a drive?”


    “Work, of course,” replied Anastasia. Work brought her ie and gave her a sense of security, while this man constantly put


    her in danger.


    “Even if you perform badly the entire year, | can still give you an excellent employee award. How about a generous bonus at the


    end of the year?” He smirked. As her boss, it was his right to be so unruly and presumptuous.


    At the moment, Anastasia couldn''t do anything about him. “Alright then! We''ll go for a drive!”


    Upon hearing her answer, Elliot started his car and drove off along the city’s coastline. It felt rxing as they cruised on the


    highway. Anastasia hadn’t been able to enjoy the night scenery like this in a long time. Her mood was lifted, and she felt at


    peace.


    The bright moon shone over the sea, which was spectacr and magnificent. From a distance, it looked like a watercolor


    painting.


    Suddenly, Elliot drove his car down a small road. When Anastasia saw that, she couldn’t help but turn to look at him and ask,


    “Where are we going?”


    “Just wait here for a moment.” Elliot nced at her and got out of the car.


    Then, she watched as he walked toward a tall bush of reeds, and her face blushed immediately.


    Elliot returned shortly after. Even though this man had just taken a leak, he still looked elegant and well-dressed, and he even


    emitted the aura of a slick-haired douche.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Elliot stood beside the passenger side’s window, leaned down, and asked her, “What about you?”


    “I''m fine...” Anastasia replied embarrassedly.


    “I''ll keep a lookout for you as well,” he said with a smile.


    Anastasia was red in the face. However, what was even more embarrassing was that she had drunk several cups of tea at the


    restaurant, and more than half an hour had passed; when he asked that question, she realized that she had the urge to go as


    well. It was awkward.


    “Isn''t there a hotel or something along the way?” Anastasia looked up at him.


    “As far as | know, there aren’t any within the next half an hour.”


    “What? Where are we?”


    “We''re on the highway to Belros. We''re going to stay there for the night.”


    Upon hearing this, Anastasia was dumbfounded. Why is he taking me to another city without even telling me about it? Damn it.
