Chapter 186

Chapter 186
Anastasia didn’t expect that her son would tell Elliot about the banquet. Since things had come to that point, she had no choice but to trouble the man with taking care of Jared. And so, she immediately replaced her initially angry tone with her usual one. “If it’s not too much of a hassle to you, please take care of him for me tonight. I’ll go and pick him up at around 9.00 PM.”
“Sure!” Elliot unhesitatingly agreed and hung up the call.
Gazing at the sunset in the distance, Anastasia fell into a daze, wondering whether it was a good thing that her son relied on Elliot so much.
Oftentimes, the choices available were limited. On one hand, she didn’t want Jared to depend on that man too much but on the other hand, she couldn’t help feeling relieved when the man took care of her son. In fact, she even trusted that man unconditionally.
After Elliot ended the call with Anastasia, he instantly called another person.
“Hello, Elliot! How can I help you?” Nigel’s voice rang from the other end of the call.
Although the two men had made a bet, it didn’t affect the relationship between them.
“I need a favor from you. Will you help me to take care of a child?”

“Whose child?”
“Where are you?”
“Where else? My father’s company, of course.”
“Alright, I’ll send him over right now.”
“You haven’t told me whose kid is that! And I don’t like to babysit,” Nigel grumbled.
“It’s Anastasia’s boy. Are you not going to babysit him?” Elliot muttered in exasperation.
“What? Jared? Jared’s with you now?” Nigel asked in surprise, then he rejoiced. “Send him over! I don’t like other kids, but Jared’s different.”
Elliot ended the call on his Bluetooth earpiece before he said to the kid in the back
seat. “I’m sending you to Nigel’s place now, alright?”
“Okay, Mr. Presgrave. You have to keep an eye on Mommy tonight and make sure that no man snatches her away!”
“I’ll certainly keep a close eye on her.” Elliot chuckled. No men would be able to take her away under his watch.
Soon, they arrived at a 7-star hotel, and Nigel was waiting downstairs to get the kid. When the car came to a stop, Nigel pulled open the car door of the back seat. He was surprised when he saw a child car seat in Elliot’s car and the little boy was safely strapped on the seat.
“Mr. Nigel!” Jared politely greeted him.
Meanwhile, Elliot walked up to Nigel and said, “Anastasia is tied up with something, so she asked me to send Jared to your place. I’ll have to trouble you with him tonight.”
Upon hearing that, Nigel felt a little displeased. I would go and pick Jared up if Anastasia gave me a call, so why did she get Elliot to send Jared over? Could it be that in her heart, I’m not as reliable as Elliot?
“Goodbye, Mr. Presgrave.” As Jared held Nigel’s hand, the boy looked behind and winked at Elliot, hinting the latter about the secret that only the two of them knew.
