Room for You Novel

Chapter 438 The Watch
Hayley had always been standoffish and liked to put on airs since young. Hence, her return would only be a burden on their
family. Furthermore, they had no idea where she had been for the past six months. They even had to beg her for money
previously.
Meanwhile, Hayley entered a shopping mall after leaving the Seymours’ house. She yearned for such a dazzling location. She
then entered a branded store. As her bag and clothes were all branded, the shopkeepers greeted her warmly.
“Miss, this is our latest design. Would you like to have a try?”
That made Hayley feel sentimental. She could take anything she wanted a few days ago without thinking about the cost, but now
the cost of the shoes was far beyond her means.
Just a pair of shoes cost more than six thousand.
Her mind was in a daze when she exited the shop. She wanted to beg Elliot to return the wealthy life to her.
Where can I go now? she wondered. Suddenly, she remembered Erica. Erica was the only one who could take her in now, but
for her to do so, Hayley could not let her know that Elliot had cut off all her living expenses.
Indeed, Erica came to pick her up after a call, and they both then went back to the Tillman Residence.
Inside the house, Hayley saw the items she had previously given to Erica. She didn’t want them before, but now she was
desperate to get them back.
Erica, on the other hand, had no idea Hayley was in a desperate state now. She thought Hayley was only feeling lonely.
“Why are you looking gloomy, Hayley?” Erica asked, while laying on the bed, after seeing Hayley’s pale face.
“Nothing much.” Hayley immediately turned off the lights and said, “Let’s sleep.”
A tinge of hatred flashed through her eyes in the darkness. Elliot loves Anastasia so much. If something happened to her, he
would undoubtedly go insane.
Since Hayley’s life was now meaningless, she wanted to drag Anastasia with her to the grave and leave Elliot alone in this world.

Meanwhile, Elliot was sleeping on Anastasia’s bed, and he didn’t wake up until the next morning. Only on her bed could he get
such a good night’s sleep.
Christmas was around the corner, and the entire city was buzzing due to the festive season. It was a week away from Christmas
Eve and Elliot started to get busy as well. The next day after the dinner they had together, Anastasia and Jared returned to
Elliot’s villa.
Though Elliot had not given Anastasia an official status, living with him had become second nature to her.
Three days later, Rey walked into Elliot’s office carrying a watch box containing the watch they took from Hayley.
“The watch had been cleaned thoroughly, President Presgrave.”
Elliot took the watch from Rey. As it was his grandmother’s birthday gift to him many years back, he had always treated it as a
treasure. He once thought of giving it to Hayley, but now, he simply wanted to keep it for himself.
After working hours, Elliot brought the watch back to the villa. When Anastasia heard his car, she walked out from her room to
seek him out.
She knocked on his room and when she entered, she saw him holding a watch in his hand. Curiously, she asked with a smile,
“You bought a new watch again?”
“No. This was an old watch given by Grandma.” Elliot, however, omitted the fact that he took it back from Hayley, fearing that
Anastasia might get upset upon knowing it. Upon hearing his words, she took the watch and spent some time looking at it. Then,
she said, “It looks exquisite. It must be expensive as well.”
“About tens of millions.”
She took another look at it after hearing that. “Let me examine it and feel what it’s like to hold tens of millions in my hand.”
Noticing that she liked it, Elliot said, “I’ll give it to you then.”
“No! How can I possibly accept such an expensive item from you? Even if I take it, I wouldn’t dare to wear it out. I would be just
inviting snatch thieves if I wear it out without any bodyguards.”

Elliot smiled in response. “In that case, I’ll arrange twenty bodyguards for you. You can then wear any watch you like.”
“I don’t want to. I prefer a normal life,” Anastasia said while shaking her head.
He then led her into his closet. There was a massive glass display containing all of his watches, and he placed the watch she
was holding in it. It glistened in the bright light. Due to the refraction of the lights, the wolf’s head figure on it, which normally
shone in the dark, was emitting faint light as well.
