Chapter 374
Anastasia frowned. “Of course. I see and talk to Mr. Hunter every day at work, so what’s the issue?”
“Don’t you know that this man has ulterior motives toward you?” Elliot was so angered that he clenched his fists tightly.
“Elliot, just mind your own business. Moreover, don’t you also have ulterior motives toward me?” Anastasia thought this man was meddling too much, and it was no wonder that he got so furious.
Elliot fell silent.
“You’re allowed to pursue me, but when other men try to court me, they’re automatically criminals?” Anastasia reproached again. She had never seen a man so selfish as him.
“I’m pursuing you so that I can give you and Jared a home. Other men just want your money and body. I don’t believe that Alex doesn’t intend on taking over your dad’s company.” Elliot was straightforward.
Now, it was Anastasia’s turn to be silent. Even if Alex had such thoughts, her father needed him right now. Also, this had always been a matter of exchanging benefits, so this was no way to measure Alex’s character!
“Well, just take care of your health!” Anastasia said. Then, she sat on another couch and stared at him. “Leave after you’ve finished your water.”
Seeing that she was chasing him out, Elliot frowned. “I’ll be having dinner at your place tonight.”

“You can’t. We don’t owe each other anything, and we shall not / her each other,” Anastasia declined.
“In that case, you should’ve just left me downstairs to die just now. Why would you care about me?” Elliot asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah, I won’t care about you next time.” Anastasia wasn’t the least bit kind.
“Anastasia, would you be glad to hear about my passing if I die one day?” Elliot suddenly stared at her with a serious look as he spoke dejectedly.
Anastasia’s heart shuddered, for this man sounded like he was cursing himself.
In a panic, Anastasia blurted out, “Don’t say such nonsense, Elliot. How would I be happy if you died? My mom sacrificed her life to save you, so you should treasure your own life more.”
Even though her words weren’t entirely sincere, Elliot could still feel her concern.
“Alright, I’ll try my best to live as long as I can,” Elliot replied in all seriousness.
Anastasia grabbed her phone and looked at the time. It was almost 6.30PM, but this man was still hanging around
“It’s getting late, and I should start preparing dinner for Jared now. You can leave with Rey.
“I’m not leaving,” Elliot insisted.
“You can starve, then. I’m not making meals for you,” Anastasia threatened.
“Sure, no problem. I’ll just stay here.” Elliot narrowed his eyes.
Anastasia got up and made her way to the kitchen. When she prepared the ingredients, she compromised in the end and included his portion as well.
As For Rey, he definitely wouldn’t stay behind for dinner.
Soon, Rey brought the little guy home. When the child saw Elliot at home, he was overjoyed.
“Mr. Presgrave, are you having dinner at my home?”
“Yes!”
“Awesome!”
