Only Elliot was worthy of such a gaze.
It was as if the heavens had decided they were a pair from the start and that he himself was only a
missionary who sent Anastasia to Elliot.
This was still devastating to him, even though he already knew the truth.
Nevertheless, he was not jealous of them. Rather, he truly wished them happiness, as the thing he
hoped to see the most was Anastasia living the life she wanted.
Anastasia, who was being extra shy today, was being led by Elliot into the main hall quietly and
obediently.
Only when they entered the elevator did she finally turn back and see Nigel. She raised her hand to
greet him. “Hi, Nigel.”
Smiling somewhat bitterly, Nigel replied, “You finally see me,”
Anastasia started blushing harder and harder, while Elliot only looked on smilingly, admiring the woman
who was soon to be his fiancee. He also showed

Tired of being the thirdwheel involuntarily, Nigel coughed lightly. “Can you two stop publicly displaying
your love? At least wait until the engagement party is done and dusted.”
Smiling, Elliot peered at him. “Nigel, you wouldn’t understand this feeling.”
Anastasia started laughing at his words while covering her mouth, as did Nigel, while thinking about it.
Inside the venue hall.
Everything looked very romantic and dreamy. Since Anastasia liked a blue themed engagement venue,
the whole thing was decorated in teal and sky blue, making it seem very simple yet dazzling.
Blue roses were scattered around the scene, making the venue have a slight flowery scent.
Upon being sent to the waiting room by the side, Anastasia finally remembered
about the watch, so she took it out and gave it to him. “Is it this one?”
Elliot nodded. “Yup. It’s this one.” Taking off his other watch, he said, “This was a gift from my grandma
for my 20th birthday.” Wearing it, he continued, “Grandma said that this was a watch that would bring
me luck and happiness.”
Anastasia agreed with him. “Your grandmother’s words should be correct.”
Elliot’s gaze wavered at this, as it was this precise watch that attracted Hayley, the evil woman, who
nearly led Harriet to her demise.
In his mind, he just treated it as a gift from his grandmother and not as a lucky charm.
He now thought that he was indeed lucky since he had met Anastasia.
Jared stepped out with Elliot, and they entered the room later, accompanied by two bodyguards.
“You look so pretty today, Mommy!” The
little child stared at Anastasia. He thought that this was the prettiest he had ever seen his mother and
that she looked like a bride.
Hugging him, Anastasia hit his head dotingly. “Thank you, sweetheart. Are you happy, Jared?”
“Of course I am! I can finally call Mr.

Presgrave as ‘Daddy’!” Jared nodded.
Stunned, Anastasia laughed at his words. “Yup. He’s your daddy from now on.”
Time was slowly passing by, with Francis sitting right in front of the hall in a suit, looking elegant. He did
not know how to describe his feelings since his only daughter was getting married today. It was after
experiencing so much that he understood one thing: only those that shared his blood would truly love
him and that he would spend the rest of his life making it up to Anastasia and her mother.
As for the others, he did not want nor need to care about them.
Harriet’s daughter, Brenda, walked over and said, “Mom, it’s almost time.”
“Let’s start then!” Harriet could not wait to announce that Anastasia was about to be her future
daughter-in-law.
“Mum, you’ve been wishing for this for so long!”
“Indeed I have!” Harriet was thoroughly overjoyed.
The engagement ceremony was scheduled to start at 6.50 pm, so there were just two minutes left.
Elliot walked on stage, and the lights only served to accentuate his perfectly sculpted face.
