Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

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. Besides, Elliot clearly was doing all this as an expression of his gratitude. As such, such a relationship was as fragile as a tiny bubble and it could disintegrate at any time.

Anastasia was no longer a young girl, so she was quite conscious of what was going on. 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.

The next morning, Anastasia had just helped Jared place his belongings into his school bag and was about to leave the house when the doorbell sounded. She looked through the peephole and was immediately stunned. Why is he here?

Meanwhile, she opened the door to see Elliot standing outside. He was dressed impeccably in a suit and he looked exactly like an elitist standing there.

“Mr. Presgrave!” Jared happily clung to Elliot’s thigh. “Why are you here?”

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