Chapter 494


    Anastasia was walking toward the study room from outside when she heard Harriet’s voiceing from


    the opened door of the room.


    “Wonderful! This is great, Elliot. You have to treat both Anastasia and Jared well after she bes your


    wife.”


    Upon hearing that, Anastasia came to a halt before she heard Harriet’s voice rang out again. “Thank God


    my wish for the Tillmans and the Presgraves to be a family has been fulfilled. I will make sure to


    give my gratitude to Officer Amelia if I were to die someday.”


    Anastasia’s chest seemed to clench at that. She could tell that Harriet was truly grateful to her mother for


    saving one of the Presgraves.


    “Grandma, I promise to treat them well for the rest of my life,” Elliot reassured Harriet. At that, thetter


    said in an earnest tone, “You must not force Anastasia if she is unwilling to give birth again in the future.


    You can always train Jared to be your sessor.”


    “It is all up to her to decide. She can have another child if she wants, but I won’t pressure her into


    anything if she doesn’t. To me, Jared is my son.”


    “Okay. I like him very much as well. He is exactly the same as you were when you were young. This is all


    God’s will.”Harriet sighed at that.


    Anastasia was hit by a myriad of emotions when she heard the conversation. Even she wasn’t sure if she


    wanted to have a child with Elliot.


    In fact, she should give birth to a Presgrave if she loved him.


    At that point, Anastasia decided to stop trying to make sense of the mess in her head and heart for now.


    It only confused her more without solving anything.


    Instead of going in and interrupting the chat between the grandparent and her grandson, Anastasia went


    to the garden, where her son had been having fun by himself. Harriet even spent money to build him an


    outdoor yground that was equipped with an air conditioner. The young boy continued to y in that


    cozy space.


    This was a very thoughtful gesture on Harriet’s part. Anastasia deeply felt that she and her son were


    being pampered by the Presgrave Family.


    The tide at a faraway beach was starting toe in when evening came and as night fell, the lights of


    the city seemed to illuminate the whole ce as though it was still morning.


    The Presgraves had a feast for their dinner. As Elliot sat beside Jared, he made sure to spoon more food


    onto the young boy’s te.


    Harriet was secretly happy when she saw what was going on. Anastasia, too, quietly saved this scene of


    Elliot showing his love into her memory.


    “Young Master Tillman, I will add some rice to your te,” one of the servants standing aside respectfully


    said to Jared.


    She even seemed like she was treating him like a precious young master of the Presgraves.


    Anastasia’s heart skipped a beat at that, but the little boy proceeded to announce out loud politely, “I can


    do it myself, Madam.”


    His one sentence was enough to show how well he had been educated at home to be so polite. He was


    a child that everyone, the servants included, would easily fall in love with.


    After they were done with the meal, Anastasia brought Jared to the second floor for a video call with


    Francis. The man was waving a present in his hand as he said to the boy, “Jared, your grandpa prepared


    a present for you.”


    “Thank you Grandpa!”


    The man then turned to his daughter. “Anastasia, are you bringing Jared home for lunch tomorrow?”


    “Yes,” she briefly replied with a nod. It was normal to pay visits to rtives after Christmas.


    She hung up the call after their conversation ended. As she turned around, she was greeted by the sight


    of Elliot walking toward her. He gave off a homely vibe in his gray sweater and a pair of dark-colored


    cks.


    He, too, had four presents in his hands. Looking at Jared, he walked over and gave him two of them.


    “These are for you.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Presgrave.” The child was ecstatic as he took the presents from Elliot. He then waved at


    the adults. “Mommy, I will be going back to my room now!”


    Anastasia couldn’t help but lift her gaze at the man. “Oh-you didn’t have to give him two. Just one is


    more than enough.”


    “Those were from Grandma and I respectively,” Elliot replied in a low voice. He swiftly reached out to


    pass Anastasia the other two. “And these are also from Grandma and I to you.”


    “For me?” She nkly blinked at him. She wasn’t even a child who needed a present!


    Elliot quickly came up with an excuse to give the presents to her then. “This is our family’s tradition. We


    always give out presents to guests whoe to visit during Christmas.”

    And so, Anastasia had no other choice but to take them. The man, however, continued to encourage her


    to open up her presents. “Open them and have a look.”


    She shook it around a few times. The contents were so light it didn’t seem like there would be much in it.


    She was starting to get curious when she noticed the mirth in his gaze. She finally tore the present


    wrapping open, only for a piece of ck credit card to slide right out.
