Chapter 369

Chapter 369
Throughout his entire life, Elliot had never been treated this way.
A surge of complicated feelings crept up Anastasia’s heart as she suddenly declared, “Let’s not meet again, Elliot. Let’s forget everything that happened before! From now on, we will be strangers.”
The word ‘strangers’ hit him right in the heart.
“Why should we be strangers? I want to marry you and make you my wife. I’ll give you and Jared a complete family,” Elliot retorted through gritted teeth. His words were unquestionable.
“Do you want to know what Riley told me? I’ll tell you now. In order to save you back then, your grandmother called to threaten the mayor, saying that if they didn’t save her grandson, she would cause a nationwide stock market crash and create a financial disaster,” explained Anastasia, her eyes turning red at the same time.
She bit her lips and continued, “That was why the mayor requested the police force to save you no matter what, even if that meant taking the life of his officers. Just like that, I lost my mother.”
Tears ro. down her cheeks as she spoke. However, she didn’t wipe them off and glared at Elliot in resentment instead. “My mother wouldn’t have died if she did not go there to save you back then. Because of you, I lost her.”
As he watched her cry, Elliot felt like there was a fire burning in his heart. It was also his first time hearing that his grandmother had threatened the mayor to do such a thing.

In order to save him, his grandmother had made such a harsh decision. That explained why his grandmother was so determined to make Anastasia her daughter-in-law, for she must have lived in regret for her whole life.
“I’m sorry.” Watching her tears flow, Elliot could only feel sorry for her. He had no right to say anything else, even though he desperately wanted to wrap her in his arms and wipe away her tears.
However, he had lost the right to do so.
After taking a deep breath, Anastasia looked up. Her tears had stopped, and her voice sounded calm now. “I don’t want to see you or your family ever again. Let’s not contact each other anymore.”
All of a sudden, an unbridgeable gully formed between them. No amount of money or feelings could fill it up. Perhaps, it would never be able to disappear in this lifetime.
“I’d like to apologize to you and your family on behalf of mine.” Elliot looked at her, his eyes full of hurt.
As she turned away, Anastasia wiped away her tears and retorted, “It’s fine. Just go!”
As if trying to test the waters, Elliot uttered, “If you hate to see me, I promise to never appear in front of your eyes again.”
Anastasia accepted his test and gave him a firm reply, saying, “You’d better keep your promise
Her words hit him like a bullet once again.
“Take care, Anastasia.” The look in Elliot’s eyes currently resembled a severely injured animal that was suffering
Just like that, Elliot left as she wished.
However, Anastasia felt like she had suddenly lost all of her strength. Crouching on the ground, she let her tears fall on the ground silently. Her heart was aching so bad that she couldn’t breathe.
After staying outside for a while, she entered the house. She quickly pretended to be in a good mood when she saw her son sitting quietly in front of the TV.
