NovelAppChapter 186 Anastasia didn’t expect that her son would tell Elliot about the banquet. Since things had cto that point, she had no choice but to trouble the man with taking care of Jared. And so, she immediately replaced her initially angry tone with her usual one. “If it's not too much of a hassle to you, please take care of him fortonight. I'll go and pick him up at around 9.00 PM.” “Sure!” Elliot unhesitatingly agreed and hung up the call.
Gazing at the sunset in the distance, Anastasia fell into a daze, wondering whether it was a good thing that her son relied on Elliot so much.
Oftentimes, the choices available were limited. On one hand, she didn’t want Jared to depend on that man too much but on the other hand, she couldn't help feeling relieved when the man took care of her son. In fact, she even trusted that man unconditionally.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Elliot ended the call with Anastasia, he instantly called another person.
“Hello, Elliot! How can I help you?” Nigel's voice rang from the other end of the call.
Although the two men had made a bet, it didn't affect the relationship between them.
“I need a favor from you. Will you helpto take care of a child?” “Whose child?” “Where are you?” “Where else? My father’s company, of course.” “Alright, I'll send him over right now.” “You haven't toldwhose kid is that! And | don’t like to babysit,” Nigel grumbled.
“It's Anastasia’s boy. Are you not going to babysit him?” Elliot muttered in exasperation.
“What? Jared? Jared's with you now?” Nigel asked in surprise, then he rejoiced. “Send him over! | don’t like other kids, but Jared's different.” Elliot ended the call on his Bluetooth earpiece before he said to the kid in the back seat. “I'm sending you to Nigel's place now, alright?” “Okay, Mr. Presgrave. You have to keep an eye on Mommy tonight and make sure that no man snatches her away!” “I'll certainly keep a close eye on her.” Elliot chuckled. No men would be able to take her away under his watch.
Soon, they arrived at a 7-star hotel, and Nigel was waiting downstairs to get the kid. When the car cto a stop, Nigel pulled open the car door of the back seat. He was surprised when he saw a child car seat in Elliot's car and the little boy was safely strapped on the seat.
“Mr. Nigel!” Jared politely greeted him.

I'll have to trouble you with him tonight.” Upon hearing that, Nigel felt a little displeased. | would go and pick Jared up if Anastasia gavea call, so why did she get Elliot to send Jared over? Could it be that in her heart, I'm not as reliable as Elliot? “Goodbye, Mr. Presgrave.” As Jared held Nigel's hand, the boy looked behind and winked at Elliot, hinting the latter about the secret that only the two of them knew.
CA In the end, Nigel led Jared to his office. The more the former thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. Instead of asking Elliot to send Jared over to me, why didn’t Anastasia contactdirectly to go and pick Jared up? Nigel turned to look at the little guy, who was sitting on the couch with his little feet dangling in the air. Suddenly, Nigel noticed that Jared's beautiful facial features had started to becsharp, which caused the man to widen his almond-shaped eyes.
What's going on? Why do | find that Jared seems to look a little like Elliot? Jared's features and demeanor were very similar to Elliot's. The next instant, Nigel seemed to recall something, and he took out his phone to scroll through his photo album. He remembered that he had kept a photo of Elliot as a child-it was a photo that had been taken when he was with Elliot.
After searching through a few albums, Nigel finally found the photo. Nigel looked at the little boy in the photo who had his arms around Nigel's shoulder. At that point, Nigel's eyes nearly fell out of his sockets.
In the photo, Elliot was a five-year-old kid and he looked exactly like the little boy who was currently sitting on the couch. They had faces so similar that one seemed to be a duplicate of the other.
What kind of strange phenomenon is this? Anastasia’s son looks exactly the sas Elliot when he was a kid! Nigel looked at himself in the photo, at the boy who had Elliot's arm around his shoulder. Although he had been an adorable kid as well, he had looked nothing like Jared.
At that moment, Nigel felt as though he was burning in rage and jealousy. Is this a hint from God? That Elliot is going to beatin this relationship? Nigel glanced at the kid on the couch again, and the love he had for Anastasia was still strong. If | were to marry Anastasia, | wouldn't ever make the little guy sad, nor would | give him any younger brothers or sisters!
