Room for You novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 

“Where have you guys been? Why are you back solite? Anastasia glared at Elliot angrily as he

spoke

Meanwhile, the man couldn’t help but smile. “I brought Jared to get some dinner and then we went to an arcade nearby. Jared had a good time.”

“Mommy, it’s really fun. I want to go again!” The boy was clearly quite drawn to the arcade and it was still on his mind.

“Okay, we can go there and have some fun next time when I’m free. Now, it’s time to go back and freshen up, then you need to get ready for bedtime.” After Anastasia had said that, she turned to Elliot and voiced out, “President Presgrave, it’s quite late now so I won’t keep you any longer. You should go back.”

“Mommy, couldn’t you allow Mr. Presgrave to come in and have something to drink?” Jared suddenly felt that Anastasia was quite heartless to kick Elliot out just like that.

Upon hearing that, Elliot chimed in as he didn’t want to leave just yet, “I won’t stay on for too long.”

In response, Anastasia nodded after considering the fact that he had spent the night having fun with Jared. “Okay. Come on inside to have something to drink.”

Anastasia noticed the sweat on Jared’s forehead, so she walked into his room to get his pajamas. “Jared, let’s get you ready for bed first.”

“Mr. Presgrave, I’ll go and take a shower now.”

“Go on.” Elliot then sat on the couch. Anastasia’s house wasn’t exactly a mansion, but it was warm and cozy. He couldn’t help wanting to stay on longer as it was very comfortable here.

Meanwhile, Anastasia helped Jared freshen up, and she listened to him talk about the fun he had at the arcade. Furthermore, Elliot had allocated four bodyguards to keep a close eye on the boy, and he had done a great job at making sure of Jared’s safety.

Although Elliot had taken off with Jared without her permission today, Anastasia was surprisingly at ease with it and she wasn’t worried about Jared being in Elliot’s care. Since when did I develop this trust in him? Anastasia herself hadn’t even realized this.

In the end, Jared was elated with the encouragement and he happily went to his room. Anastasia went along with him and tucked him into bed. Subsequently, she adjusted the air conditioner temperature before shutting the door behind her.

The man on the couch had unbuttoned the first three buttons on his shirt, and his delicate collar bones were revealed. At the same time, Jared was not around, so Elliot’s expression changed because right now, he could focus his eyes on the person he wanted to look at without any restraint. His primitive gaze was quite explicit.

“Let’s have a chat.” Truth was, Elliot wanted to continue the topic they hadn’t quite finished in the car from earlier. He wanted to talk to Anastasia about her vow to remain single for the rest of her life, because he was adamant to dispel that notion from her mind.

Meanwhile, Anastasia saw that Jared had fallen asleep and she wanted to take a shower and turn in for the night, so she tidied up the living room and spoke without lifting her head. “I’m not in the mood to chat. You should go home.”

Upon hearing that, Elliot narrowed his eyes. The light from the chandelier illuminated his figure and he seemed to exude a cold elegance from within. He looked like Prince Charming who had just come back from a ball.

“Can we talk about Jared’s father? I would like to know more about him,” Elliot suddenly commented in a low voice.
