Room for You Novel

Chapter 336

Chapter 336
Elliot came out of the office with the corners of his lips curled up. “If you’re not free in the future, I can pick Jared up,” he offered.
He is right, Anastasia thought. It was always a good idea to have a person as a backup in case of an emergency. “If that’s not too much trouble for you,” she responded.
“Whatever things that you think might trouble me are nothing to me,” he clarified.
Before they could even arrive at Jared’s classroom, they found him sitting on the bench next to the classroom.
Jared spotted her with his sharp eyes and exclaimed, “Mommy!”
Anastasia immediately stood still, waiting for her son to come and hugged her. However, when Jared ran over with an overjoyed expression, she didn’t know it was because he saw Elliot with her.
As Anastasia squatted down and anticipated for Jared to leap into her arms, he suddenly went past her and ran toward someone behind her. At that moment, she felt disheartened. When she turned around, she noticed Elliot tightly hugging Jared, who chirped happily, “Mr. Presgrave, you finally came to pick me up!”
Since she felt a little jealous, Anastasia turned her head just to meet Elliot’s upturned eyes and his expression was like the cat that earned the cream. At first, she was stunned for a second, but she couldn’t help bursting out in laughter thereafter. When did he win over Jared’s heart to such a degree? she wondered.

As soon as Jared got in the car, he began bombarding Elliot with questions.
“Mr. Presgrave, were you busy?”
“Mr. Presgrave, why haven’t you come to pick me up? I thought you had forgotten
me!”
“Mr. Presgrave, are you coming to my house for dinner tonight?”
“Mr. Presgrave, why don’t you go to my house for dinner tonight?”
“I miss you so much, and so does Mommy!”
An embarrassed Anastasia wanted to cover Jared’s tiny mouth so that he would stop
his nonsense.
So when Elliot’s gaze was reflected from the rear-view mirror, she merely glanced at him and diverted her gaze nervously after that.
He naturally went to her house for dinner in the evening, as if their relationship was back to normal after the past few days.
After dinner, Jared couldn’t wait to go downstairs and play. While Anastasia cleaned up the table and washed the dishes, Elliot took Jared downstairs to the park for a walk. They felt like a family of three; reassuring and warm.
It was after 8.30PM that Anastasia finished cleaning the dishes. Feeling slightly tired, she sat on the couch and switched on the news. The door swung open at 9.00AM and Jared’s laughter could be heard from the entrance.
“Mr. Presgrave, can you teach me that next time? I want to be the same as you,” Jared asked as his voice was full of admiration.
“Sure. I’ll teach you when you’re older,” Elliot answered him in a low-pitched voice.
Although it was early winter, Jared’s face was flushed as he was perspiring. As soon as he entered the door, Anastasia said, “Go and get your pajamas, Jared. I will bathe you soon.”
