Chapter 484 Suddenly, Anastasia had the feeling that she was under Elliot’s control and could no longer escape. “Okay. But we’ll still have to wait until your leg gets better,” she said. “I’ll let someone set up the venue first, and we will get engaged in two weeks. During this period, you can choose whatever clothes and jewelry you like.” Elliot knew that women liked to arrange these things. “Sure.” Anastasia hummed in agreement. Elliot is a good choice. I don’t think there is any need to be fussy anymore. As Dad said, it is already a blessing for me to be able to marry although I have a child. If it’s a good man, I should just go ahead and get married. Elliot finally exhaled a sigh of relief after seeing how quickly she accepted his proposal, and he felt the joy of finally having caught his prey. Therefore, he reckoned that the injury to his leg was worth it in exchange for a wife. When Rey came in to report a work matter, Anastasia left the room and headed to Jared’s room. “When will Mr. Presgrave’s leg get better, Mommy?” Jared ran to her and asked when she entered the room.
“The doctor said it will heal in ten days. Don’t worry,” she consoled. Suddenly, Jared wrapped his arms around Anastasia’s neck. “Mommy, can Mr. Presgrave be my Daddy?” he asked pleadingly in her ear. Anastasia felt pity for Jared as she listened to his plea, but she also felt like grinning. “Why?” she inquired. “I really like him, Mommy. I feel like he is my Daddy,” the child exclaimed. Anastasia’s heart sank when she heard that. But Elliot can never be Jared’s biological father. “Aright. Your mommy has decided to marry him. We will live together in the future, and he will be your Daddy, okay?” she promised him. “Really? Yay! I have a father now!” Jared jumped up and down happily. Anastasia’s fearful emotions from last night slowly eased away and her mood lifted as she looked at her child’s cheerful appearance.
Meanwhile, in Elliot’s master bedroom, Rey was reporting on the handling of Aliona and her accomplice. “President Presgrave, Aliona’s real name is Aliona Presgrave, and she was adopted by Riley Presgrave when she was young. Riley controlled Lucas’ son abroad, and that’s why Lucas has been helping him to hide Aliona’s identity, allowing her to approach you.” As for Aliona’s purpose for approaching him, Elliot was well aware that she wanted his heir to become Riley’s puppet to control the Presgrave Group in the future. “Let the lawyers do their jobs properly. I want these people to pay a heavy price.” He clenched his fists, and his joints gave a crack. “Yes. They have collected all the information and will never let them escape any charge,” Rey responded. “Get me a wedding planner tomorrow. I’m going to arrange an engagement dinner,” Elliot ordered in a low voice. Rey’s expression lit up instantly. “Congratulations, President Presgrave, on Miss Tillman’s and your engagement!” President Presgrave has been pursuing Miss Tillman for more than half a year, and it is finally paying off. And to think I used to get so anxious about their relationship! “Rey, if you meet the right person, tell me. Don’t delay your marriage because of work.” Elliot felt the happiness of having a lover, and he wanted to arrange a good marriage for Rey as well. Rey immediately thanked the boss for his consideration, but he shook his head and said, “Thank you for caring about my marriage, President Presgrave. But I don’t have à partner yet.” “After the first half of the year, I will give you a long vacation in the second half,” Elliot said. “Thank you, President Presgrave.” Rey was grateful to have met such a good boss. In the evening, Jared accompanied Elliot, and they played with the Rubik’s cube. Finally, Elliot had time to spend with Jared and he was very patient. The main reason Anastasia would fall in love with Elliot was that she saw his love and concern for Jared. Only a man who loved her son could unlock her heart. When she thought about getting engaged to Elliot after Christmas, she still felt a little nervous. I should
talk to Dad in the next two days. In the evening, Jared went to bed early. Anastasia had been staying up late, so she wanted to sleep immediately after putting her son to bed.
