    Chapter 199 An Envious Man,My Baby’s Daddy


    “So that means that you’ll be sleeping alone tonight?” A roguish look shed across the man’s eyes.


    Instantly, Anastasia was on high alert as she looked at him and asked, “What do you mean?”


    “Nothing much. It’s just that I want to sleep on your bed.” “Don’t push your luck. Go back to sleep at


    your own home. Otherwise, I’ll ban you from ever eating over here again.” “Your dad looked very happy


    tonight, but the time left until hispany is taken over is only three months away.


    If you want your dad to still look this happy in the future, just let me sleep here for the night,” Elliot


    uttered the cruel words while looking at the faraway lights. Meanwhile, Anastasia was left in disbelief by


    his words and she froze for a second. “The opposition this time is very strong.


    If I don’t interfere, no one has the ability to save your father’spany. Maybe your father can go


    around asking for favors and using his connections, but it won’t change the fate of hispany being


    taken over in the end.” Feeling as though all the energy had left her body, Anastasia was stuck in a


    dilemma.


    She did not want anything to happen to her father’spany, yet she also did not want to beg Elliot.


    “Maybe my dad would be luckier, maybe hispany…” However, Anastasia could not continue, as


    she knew that her father’s ‘luck’ all these years was actually just Elliot helping him out behind the


    scenes.


    “Anastasia, do you think that it would be better for your father to go beg someone else, or do you think


    that it would be better if you begged me on his behalf?” His voice growing hoarse, Elliot then continued,


    “Even if I’m not obligated to do so, I am still very willing to help you and your father out.”


    Hearing this, Anastasia could only look at the city’s nightlights, and she had the sudden feeling that


    even the sky was not big enough to fit her troubles. How did things spiral to this point? The man she


    did not want to beg the most turned out to be the man who could solve all her problems.

    In the end, it was all because she was not tough enough, yet she also did not want to see her father go


    around begging people, so Anastasia bit her lip and looked at Elliot. “Do you want to sleep in my son’s


    or my bed?” Smirking, the man answered definitively, “Your bed.” The moment the words left her


    mouth, Anastasia felt as if she had trampled all over her principles. In the end, she hung her head low


    and despised how she was acting at the moment.


    Guessing her thoughts, Elliot suddenly hugged her. “Anastasia, I won’t permit you to look down on


    yourself. Even if you didn’t beg me, I would still have helped your father. I promise that in this life, I will


    make sure that you and your father will live in peace and never have to worry about money ever again.”


    Admittingly, the man had a power to easily pick on her softest spot at her most vulnerable moments.


    “Thank you.” Reaching out, Anastasia tried to push him away, but Elliot would not let her do so. At that


    point, he dropped a loving kiss to her hair. “Don’t worry. I’m here to protect you.” This sentence made


    Anastasia think that he was omnipotent, and that he could block anything from harming her and her


    family.


    For some unknown reason, she stayed in his embrace without struggling, and she did not know if it was


    because the feeling of being protected by him was very nice or that she did not have the strength to


    struggle anymore. They stayed this way until her phone rang again. Taking it out, she saw it was from


    Nigel, so she broke free from Elliot’s embrace whileposing herself.


    Just as Anastasia was about to answer the call, the man snatched it away from her and turned on the


    loudspeaker. “Hello, Anastasia. Are you afraid of sleeping alone? Do you want to chat for a while?”


    The lovesick voice of Nigel echoed around the silent balcony. This made Anastasia’s face blush. This


    evil man! Why did he turn on the loudspeaker? Yet, since the phone was in Elliot’s hands, she couldn’t


    snatch it back even if she wanted to. “Uh… There’s no need for that. Nigel, just go to sleep.


    Goodnight!”


    Anastasia just wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. “I can’t sleep. I’m thinking of you,


    you know?” At this point, Nigel was still unaware that his flirtatious words were being overheard by a


    third party. “Nigel… Nigel, stop talking right now and just go to sleep! I’m going to hang up now.”


    However, Nigel began to act spoiled. “Sing a song for me, then. It can even be a children’s song used


    to humor Jared. If you do it, then I’ll sleep. If you don’t, then I won’t.” Elliot’s expression became


    thunderous when he heard those words, while Anastasia’s face became as red as a tomato. Why did


    she have to encounter such a thing?
