Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 204 Asking for a Favor

“Good luck, Elliot!” Nigel yelled from across the yard and put up a fist in the air in a show of moral support.

Elliot’s eyes crinkled as he nodded at the younger man.

Anastasia, on the other hand, was helping Jared fasten his seatbelt, so she didn’t notice anything strange going on between the two cousins.

After that, Elliot took the passenger seat while Anastasia sat in the back with Jared, grateful for the ample leg room in the sedan. They first had lunch at a high-end restaurant, where Jared ate his food in high spirits. When they were done, the little boy suddenly asked to go to the museum, and Elliot agreed to it without a second thought.

As such, Anastasia could only go along with them. Rey went as well to keep an eye on Jared, thinking that he could babysit the boy and give Elliot and Anastasia a break to enjoy some quality time together.

Presently, Anastasia had only just stepped into the museum when her phone rang. Upon seeing that it was a call from Francis, she picked it up and greeted, “Hey, Dad.”

“Is Young Master Elliot alright? I hope he didn’t get a hangover this morning,” Francis said worriedly on the other line. “My friends shouldn’t have forced him to drink all that liquor.”
