Room for You Novel

Chapter 368

Chapter 368
Anastasia took a long time to compose her feelings. She ended up buying a lot of groceries so that she could stay home with her son for a few days without having to leave the house.
As she carried a huge bag of groceries out the door, one of the bodyguards came up to her and inquired politely, “Miss Tillman, do you need help with that?”
“No, thanks.” Anastasia offered a grateful smile. She didn’t have to treat them indifferently, after all.
After struggling to carry her groceries to the lobby of the housing block, she called Elliot and asked him to bring Jared home.
“Hello?” When the call connected, she could hear his deep and raspy voice.
“I’m beside the lift. Bring Jared over!” said Anastasia.
“Can we talk?” There was a hint of a plea in his voice.
“I don’t want to,” replied Anastasia as she rejected him.
“No matter what my uncle said to you, one thing that will never change is my love for you. You’re important to me, Anastasia.” Elliot’s voice was hoarse,
“That’s enough, now give me back my son,” Anastasia ordered bef

hanging up the phone.
If she were to continue the conversation, the decision she had made with much difficulty might collapse.
There was no longer any possibility between them.
At least, they would never be together in this lifetime.
Soon, Elliot held Jared’s hand as they made a turn at the small avenue surrounded by trees. The two looked identical as if they were father and son.
“Mr. Presgrave, can’t you leave after having a meal with us?” Jared whined.
He sounded as if he had asked this question many times before.
Elliot raised his head and looked at Anastasia pleadingly; it was as if he was silently asking if he could come over to her house to have lunch.
Anastasia looked at her son subconsciously to avoid his gaze. Her tone sounded a little harsh as she uttered, “Jared, don’t be rude. Mr. Presgrave is a busy man, so let’s not disturb him.”
Just as Elliot wanted to open his mouth, Anastasia’s glare left him stunned –it was a cold and warning gaze.
Since he was left with no choice, Elliot heaved a sigh and crouched down to fix Jared’s collar while coaxing him tenderly, “Your mommy’s right. I’m too busy right now, so I can’t come over for
lunch. Let’s do it next time!”
“When will that be?” Jared quickly asked.
“When I’m not busy.”
“When will you not be busy?” Jared’s childish voice felt like a bullet hitting his chest.
“I…” When Elliot looked up tentatively at Anastasia, she wore an expressionless face, so he could .. only turn to Jared and say, “I might be busy for a long time.”
“Alright. It’s time to go home! Mr. Presgrave has to leave.” While holding her son’s hand, Anastasia struggled with the heavy grocery bag.
Just then, an arm stretched out to take her grocery bag. “I’ll carry it up for you.”
