Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 145

“Get in. We’re going to the grocery store.” As Elliot placed Jared at the backseat, it suddenly occurred to him that he would need to get a child safety seat installed so that it would be easier for him to pick Jared up in the future.

After the three of them returned to the car, they went to a nearby commercial area where they had plenty of time to stop since it was still rather early.

While they were inside the grocery store, Jared sat on the cart that was pushed around by Elliot while Anastasia was in charge of selecting ingredients for that evening’s dinner. Feeling somewhat gluttonous tonight, she picked up some pork, shrimp, and a few kinds of vegetables.

“My! What a beautiful family!” someone suddenly commented as Anastasia was choosing vegetables. When she turned her head, she saw two young women standing nearby and staring at them.

The moment Anastasia turned to look at them, they scuttled away in embarrassment as they had been caught in the act.

When Anastasia glanced back at Elliot and her son, she understood why those two young women had misunderstood. They looked very much like a family of three on a shopping trip indeed!
