Since it was Patrick’s first ever up-close encounter with his daughter, he couldn’t hide his excitement
seeing how capable Erica was and that she would inherit Tillman Constructions.
He knew that Francis had two daughters but had no sons, so he was confident that each daughter
would inherit half of his inheritance.
On the other hand, Wanda planned to look for Anastasia early tomorrow morning after getting some
rest. Unknown to her, Erica had set up a trap for her.
Meanwhile, in the Presgrave Hospital, Old Madam Presgrave was happy that Francis had regained
consciousness and brought Jared over to visit his grandfather. Seeing that Francis was awake, Jared
happily accompanied him
and refused to leave his side. However, after Francis got to know that Anastasia had been separated
from Jared all this time while he was in a coma, he felt bad, so he asked her to go home to rest and not
worry about him anymore.

had taken a shower. Jared had sleeping on time, so he had gone to bed at 10.30PM.
However, both of the adults weren’t tired just yet. After her father had regained consciousness, her

Her heart fluttered as she leaned in his
chest while enjoying it.
“When my new yacht arrives tomorrow night, I’ll bring you and Jared out to sea.” He ran his fingers
through her long silky hair.
“Sure!” She wanted to go out and get some fresh air too.
“Let’s get engaged after your dad’s condition gets better.” This matter had been on Elliot’s mind.
“Sure.” Anastasia agreed since they were
supposed to get engaged earlier on.
“You smell nice.” He picked up a strand of her hair and sniffed lightly, but his eyes were locked on her.
The atmosphere instantly became romantic and sensuous.
“I’m… having my period,” she said shyly.
Upon hearing that, he was speechless since his timing was bad. “Do you plan to be mine if you’re not
having your period?” He giggled, trying to get himself out of the awkward situation.
“I’ll eventually be yours.” She smirked.
