Anastasia blinked at him. “You can take your time to make it up to me.”
No one knew what she was thinking inside.
If it were fated that she could not escape the trap Hayley had set up for her, then she would rather it be
him than some other random guy.
Fate had caused her a lot of pain and sorrow, but it had now given her a chance to set the record
straight, and true love as well.
“Grandma told me that this watch was my good luck charm. It turns out I had been wrong about it. It
truly is my good luck charm. Elliot meant every word he said.
When Anastasia recalled what Hayley had done, she gritted her teeth in contempt. “Don’t let Hayley get
away with this. I want her to pay for what she did.”
Elliot was just as furious as she was. He – clenched his fists and declared. “I will make her pay heavily
for everything.”
Anastasia looked up and suggested, “Run a DNA test with Jared to confirm it.”
“Why would I need one? Jared is my son.” Elliot did not feel a speck of doubt at all about this. He had
long since felt an inexplicable connection with Jared.
From the moment he first met Jared, he had a feeling that they were related.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Jared will be very happy to know that you’re truly his father.”
Elliot grasped her hand and asked, “Can I break the news to all the guests today? The fact that Elliot is
my son.”
Anastasia saw the impatience in his eyes and thought to herself. Why not?
Tonight was not just their engagement ceremony, but also the moment when the father and son duo
would formally reunite with one another.
Meanwhile, at the ceremony, the couple in question had disappeared without a trace, and Harriet could
barely take a few bites. She was sorely worried that
Anastasia would scoff at Elliot and refuse to marry him again.
Nigel had been tasked to take care of Jared. Jared tried looking for Anastasia a couple of times, but
Nigel stopped him. He thought to himself, I better not let this kid go looking for them. What if he walked
into something that’s not meant for kids to see? Therefore, he did his best to coax Jared. He even used
the ultimate trump card-the mobile games on his phone to keep Jared happy.
Brenda approached the main table.
“Mom, these are all your favorites. You
should eat more,” Brenda tried to
convince Harriet.
“Why aren’t they back yet?” Harriet asked.
“They probably went off to discuss something. Relax, Mom, Brenda reassured her. Just then, she
spotted the couple walking into the hall hand-in hand, so she chuckled and said, “There they are now.
True enough, the newly-engaged couple who had run off earlier came back with their hands clasped
together.
Elliot led Anastasia up the stage before calling out in the direction of the main table, “Jared, come
here.”
The little kid happily leaped out of his seat beside Nigel and went up the stage. Elliot bent down and
carried him.
As Anastasia stared at them, her eyes were filled with content. Her son’s father was not some unknown
gigolo. The Presgrave family blood flowed through his veins, and he was the rightful heir of the
Presgraves.
Elliot took the microphone and gazed out at the attendees who were all staring at him. He had a hard
time suppressing his excitement and he announced, “I just received some wonderful news. It turns out
that Jared is my son. He’s the son that Anastasia and I had five years ago, and I am truly his father. We
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmare family through and through.”
“What?! Is that true?!” Harriet was the first to stand up in surprise.
“I’ve always said that Jared and Elliot looked like father and son,” Brenda commented.
Nigel was floored. He had been curious to know who fathered such a cute child with Anastasia five
years ago, and now it turned out that he had to credit his cousin’s genes for it?
It was no wonder that Elliot had defeated. him in the battle for Anastasia’s love. Elliot’s son had been
right beside Anastasia all along!
Still, Nigel was genuinely happy for his cousin that Jared belonged to their family.
Francis had frozen in shock at the news. His grandson was now the young heir of the Presgraves. This
news took him by surprise.
“I knew it! I always said that Jared looked just like Elliot when he was a kid, so this is why… He’s
indeed my great-grandson!”
Harriet was on the verge of fainting from all the excitement she felt, and Brenda swiftly held onto her.
“Mom, don’t get too excited! Remember your weak heart!”
“It’s fine. I’m fine. I can take it. It turns out that my great-grandson had come to us a long time ago.
Jared is the Presgrave family’s great-grandson!” Harriet cupped her mouth with her hands as tears of
joy trickled down her cheeks.
