Chapter 147

“Mr. Presgrave is extremely busy. Let’s not take up any more of his time, okay?” Anastasia advised Jared.

To her dismay, Elliot had carried Jared instead. “I’m not busy. We can continue playing.”

“Yay!” A happy Jared threw his arms around Elliot’s neck before turning back to say to her, “Let’s play together, Mommy.”
