Chapter 170 

Anastasia reached out a hand to ruffle Jared’s hair and spoke in a relaxed tone. “I don’t need anyone else but you. I’m not going to marry anyone again in this lifetime.”

That was because she didn’t want to put a bet on an uncertain future. She just wanted to raise her son in a stable environment.

She would not be easily affected just because someone was kind to her, and she definitely wasn’t going to sacrifice all of herself due to being touched by someone else’s kindness. She was now a very level-headed and logical person.

“I came over to send you to school and send your mommy to work.”

“Mr. Presgrave, you’re such a nice person!” Jared kept his eyes on Elliot unblinkingly and the boy’s expression was quite affectionate.
