The Girl Bumped to Him Is Pregnant novel (Anastasia)

Chapter 170

Anastasia reached out a hand to ruffle Jared's hair and spoke in a relaxed tone. "I don't need anyone else but you. I'm not going to marry anyone again in this lifetime."

That was because she didn't want to put a bet on an uncertain future. She just wanted to raise her son in a stable environment. Besides, Elliot clearly was doing all this as an expression of his gratitude. As such, such a relationship was as fragile as a tiny bubble and it could disintegrate at any time.

Anastasia was no longer a young girl, so she was quite conscious of what was going on. She would not be easily affected just because someone was kind to her, and she definitely wasn't going to sacrifice all of herself due to being touched by someone else's kindness. She was now a very level-headed and logical person.

The next morning, Anastasia had just helped Jared place his belongings into his school bag and was about to leave the house when the doorbell sounded. She looked through the peephole and was immediately stunned. Why is he here?

Meanwhile, she opened the door to see Elliot standing outside. He was dressed impeccably in a suit and he looked exactly like an elitist standing there.

"Mr. Presgrave!" Jared happily clung to Elliot's thigh. "Why are you here?"

"I came over to send you to school and send your mommy to work."

"Mr. Presgrave, you're such a nice person!" Jared kept his eyes on Elliot unblinkingly and the boy's expression was quite affectionate.

At that moment, Elliot directed his gaze toward Anastasia with the hopes that she would react the same way as Jared. However, she felt quite shy to bother him.

"You don't have to do this next time. I don't want to take up too much of your precious time," Anastasia suggested.

"I'm happy to spend my time any way I prefer," Elliot curled his lips into a smile and replied. Subsequently, he squatted down and took Jared into his arms before turning around to head toward the elevator. Meanwhile, Anastasia was left slightly speechless. She really didn't want to waste the man's time, as he usually had business dealings that ran in the range of billions.

After dropping off Jared at school, Anastasia suddenly recalled that she had a lunch

date with Harriet in the afternoon, so she turned her head to glance at Elliot. "Will you be attending the lunch appointment this afternoon?"

"My grandma didn't invite me along." Elliot felt slightly upset too as he had waited the whole night for Harriet's phone call, but it was in vain. Evidently, he was not included in the lunch date. Anastasia pursed her lips in response. "Okay, then. I'll try my best to explain the situation to her."

Elliot drove his car into the underground parking lot and Anastasia tried to quickly make a dash for it as she wanted to avoid entering the elevator at the same time as him.

However, Elliot refused to let her have her way and he strode purposefully behind her on his long legs. Just as he was about to enter the elevator, Anastasia frantically pressed the button to shut the door while yelling toward him, who was still outside, "Take the next one."

Unfortunately for her, he stretched out his hand. As soon as the sensors on the door sensed movement, they slid open instantly and Elliot made his way into the elevator gracefully.

Meanwhile, Anastasia placed her palm on her forehead and inched closer to the corner of the elevator. Even if she had to be in the same lift, she was determined to stand as far away from him as possible. Indeed, there was a huge group of staff waiting to enter the elevator in the lobby. However, as soon as the doors to the elevator slid open, the anxious bunch of people outside suddenly stopped in their tracks. None of them dared to step foot into the elevator because Elliot was standing there.

"President Presgrave, you can go ahead. We'll take the next one." Each of them said so fawningly with smiles on their faces.

Soon after that, the doors to the elevator slid shut. Meanwhile, Anastasia was intent on admiring Elliot's strapping, attractive figure as she thought, He has the perfect figure that even a model couldn't compete against him! The clothes on him were perfectly molded to his body and he had the perfect figure that enhanced any outfit he wore. Elliot's figure was so perfect that he looked slim in any shirt he put on and yet when he took off his shirt, he was filled out in all the right places.

They arrived at the Department of Design and Anastasia quickly slipped past the man to get out of the elevator. However, at that moment, Elliot reached out and

suddenly held her hand for a short while. Shocked, Anastasia shivered and she quickly flung off his hand as she fled the elevator. At the same time, she scanned her surroundings guiltily.

She couldn't contain herself from blushing. How annoying!

She arrived at her working area and instantly focused her efforts on her work. Although she had hurt her finger, she could only bear it and work with an injured finger. Luckily, she could operate everything by using the computer, so it made things much easier for her.

She finally made finishing touches to the draft for the pair of necklaces and it was quite perfect in her eyes, so she sent it to Felicia for her to contact the customer. After all, this was an important commissioned piece, so Felicia was in on it too.

At about 10 in the morning, Anastasia's cell phone suddenly rang and she reached out to answer the phone call. "Hello, who's on the line?"

"Hi, is this Miss Anastasia Tillman? I'm calling from the fruit shop. There's a customer who ordered a truckload of Musang King durian for you. Where would you like me to deliver it to?" "What?! A truckload? How many would that be?"

"There are about two hundred of them."

At that point, Anastasia nearly had a heart attack. Elliot has too much money on his hands, huh? Why did he send me two hundred Musang King durians early in the morning anyway?!
