My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 His-And-Hers Necklaces

Harriet had been waiting for days to have a meal together with her grandson, and he finally returned to Presgrave Residence to fulfill her wish.

They were both seated at the dining table when she asked hesitantly, “Elliot, did Anastasia really mean it when she said she would never marry?”

“Relax, Grandma,” Elliot consoled. “Things change all the time.”

“I’ve been speaking to Nigel on the phone over the past few days. I was hoping that he could put more effort into pursuing Anastasia romantically, and I told him not to give up just yet.”

Elliot’s spoon halted mid-way to his mouth as he sighed and said, “Grandma, Nigel and I both like the same girl, and you should be encouraging me now that he’s backed off so that I can go on to pursue her.”

Harriet’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “What? Are you pursuing Anastasia now? Does she reciprocate your feelings?”

“I’m still working on making that happen, but don’t worry, Grandma. I promise I’ll marry her,” Elliot said solemnly. For some reason, he was confident that he would make her his wife.

When Harriet saw how determined her grandson was about this, she chuckled. “Well, I know you’ll give it your best shot. Don’t let me down, Elliot.”

“Got it.”

“By the way, do bring that little boy around here sometime soon. I want to take a look at him too,” Harriet added expectantly.

“Now isn’t the right time, but give me a month and I’ll bring him back here to visit you.”

“Very well,” she conceded. “Talk to Anastasia about this and have her come by house whenever she’s free.” She nodded slowly. Knowing that her grandson would take care of everything, she could afford to wait patiently.

At 2.30PM, Anastasia was drinking coffee in her office while tweaking some design sketches on the table when her extension line suddenly rang. She picked up the receiver and greeted, “Hello?”

“Anastasia, the customer has arrived. We have to go to Room 302 now.”

Hayley smirked as she eyed Anastasia viciously. “How about you personally give me your blessings, Miss Tillman? Just a few nice words for my boyfriend and me for sentiment’s sake.”

At that moment, Anastasia felt like all the air had been sucked out from her lungs, and she bit out icily, “I’m never one to give my blessings.”

“Oh, don’t be so frigid, Miss Tillman! Here, why don’t I help you start it off? You can never go wrong with wishing us everlasting happiness, that we would grow old together and have a family of our own—stuff like that!”

Felicia stepped in naturally and said soothingly, “In that case, on behalf of Miss Tillman and all the employees here, I wish you and President Presgrave all the happiness in life, and that the both of you will stick by each other through thick and thin. May you guys find wonderful companionship in one another.”

However, Hayley quirked her lips unhappily and pointed out, “I don’t want you to give me your blessings, Director Evans. It’s Miss Tillman’s I want.”

Felicia grew stiff in her seat, evidently flustered. Beside her, Anastasia knew how wicked Hayley could get. Since she didn’t want to humiliate Felicia, she said begrudgingly, “Hayley, for the sake of getting you to shut up about this, I wish you and Elliot all the happiness. There! Is that what you want to hear?”

Once she heard Anastasia’s words, Hayley’s smug smile widened. She was pleased to have the upper hand here, and she snorted as she drawled, “Seeing as you’ve given us your blessings, Miss Tillman, I will be ever so gracious and thank you for it. Elliot isn’t in the office now, so I’m going to need you to personally deliver these necklaces to him later and tell him that you designed these for the both of us.”
