Chapter 245 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Upon hearing her words, Anastasia became dumbfounded. She grinned sheepishly and said, “What are you talking about?”

“You don’t have to explain it anymore, Anastasia. We all saw you and Mr. Presgrave kissing in the coffee shop!”

Anastasia was mindblown, and she blanked out for a few seconds before asking stupidly, “What cafe? What was it that you saw?”

Her heart was filled with shame and guilt. Could it be that Grace accidentally saw me kissing Elliot in the cafe last night?

“What? Anastasia, are you still unaware of the news surrounding you and President Presgrave all over the internet?! The whole world knows that you guys are dating! The paparazzi took pictures of you and President Presgave kissing in the cafe yesterday, and they’ve exposed your relationship!”

When those words struck her, Anastasia was so shocked that she couldn’t even hold her phone properly, and her mind went blank. What? The paparazzi took pictures of us last night?

“I just woke up. Let me take a look first.” As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up on Grace and quickly went online. At once, a headline that read, ‘Shocking! The Mysterious Girlfriend of Presgrave Group’s President, Exposed’ popped up, and it was currently trending.

As soon as she saw that, she immediately clicked on the link with trembling hands. Her face blushed shamefully, and her temperature rose. At the same time, her heart was pounding, and she was lost for words as she covered her mouth in shock.

Those were the pictures of her making out with Elliot. There were three or four pictures of them kissing, as well as another two pictures of Anastasia giggling while he kissed her neck. They looked so much like a couple as she leaned into his embrace the entire time. On top of that, they looked like lovers who were madly in love with each other.

Ahhh!

Anastasia almost broke down. How could such pictures of her and Elliot leak out?!

Upon remembering the missed calls from Felicia and her dad, she blushed in embarrassment. It would be easy to explain to Felicia, but she wasn’t sure how she should explain it to her dad.

Goodness! She was so embarrassed that she wanted to curl up and die on the spot.

She wouldn’t be able to deny their relationship this time round, for even the heavens wouldn’t believe her denial.

Anastasia then took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Since it had already happened, she had no choice but to accept the fact.

Just then, her phone rang again. Upon seeing that it was from her dad, she almost had a heart attack.

What is dad going to ask me? Yikes! She took a deep breath and answered the call, “Hi, Dad.”

On the other side of the phone, Francis smiled and asked, “Anastasia, why didn’t you tell me earlier that both of you are already together? Seeing the news of you and Elliot almost gave me a heart attack.”

“Dad, are you feeling alright?” Anastasia quickly comforted him.

“I’m fine, but are you and Elliot really in a relationship?” Francis blurted out.

As she thought about the pictures spreading online, she’d be messing with her father if she didn’t admit their relationship.

“Yes, we are seeing each other,” Anastasia admitted shyly. She never expected that this would be her first time admitting her relationship to her father.

“That’s great, I’m really happy for you. You have a good eye for men—after all, you chose someone as outstanding as Elliot. Jared will also have someone to lean on.” Francis still felt like he was dreaming. He didn’t expect his daughter, who was also a single mother, would be lucky enough to be with an outstanding man like Elliot. It was the Tillman Family’s triumph!

“Alright, get along well with each other, and I wish the best for both of you. I’ll hang up now.” Francis hung up the phone after finishing his sentence.

As Anastasia heaved a sigh of relief, a man’s voice could be heard from behind. “You admitted to our relationship?”

A startled Anastasia quickly turned to look behind, only to see Elliot in a bathrobe with his chest showing and his arms crossed as he leaned against the door frame behind him. A trace of bliss could be seen in his deep, alluring eyes.

When she saw him, Anastasia immediately walked up to him and asked, “Can you please deal with it?” She passed him her mobile phone.

Startled by this, he took the phone from her and read through the gossip column. Immediately after, he laughed and commented, “These pictures were well taken.”

“How can you still laugh at a time like this? Everyone on the internet knows about us right now.” Anastasia thought that she was the only one worried about disclosing their relationship, and she wasn’t entirely wrong.

Elliot had been looking for opportunities to make their relationship public, and someone had actually done it on his behalf this time.

Although the paparazzi intended to make money from releasing the news, he’d definitely make a larger fortune than he originally expected this time round.

As he looked at the anxious Anastasia, Elliot pulled her into his arms. “Isn’t this good? Now, everyone knows that you are my girlfriend,” he uttered.

“I’m… I’m not.” She pushed him away. How could he be so happy about this?

As he locked his gaze on her, he replied confidently, “You will eventually be.”

Anastasia was expecting him to do something to save their reputation, but it seemed like he had no plans of doing so. Anastasia stood on the balcony with her hand on her chin while deep in thought, feeling somber.

Upon seeing that, Elliot walked over and comforted her sincerely, “If you can’t accept the news, I can just get rid of it for you.”

However, Anastasia couldn’t help but think that getting rid of it now would be useless since the news had been released for hours. Most people would have already known about them.

Elliot would have to pay a huge sum of money if Anastasia insisted on covering up the story, and she simply didn’t think it was necessary to go to such lengths.

As such, she took it in stride and said, “Forget it. I’ll just let it be.” She was only thankful that the paparazzi had taken a nice shot of her, and she would be lying if she said she wasn’t impressed with their skills.

“You’re really going to let this go?” Elliot murmured as his arms snaked around her waist from behind. A delighted smile curled on his lips as he went on to ask, “Does this mean you’ve officially acknowledged our relationship?”

Anastasia blushed in embarrassment. If she were to deny their relationship now, the public was probably going to call her a succubus who toyed with men’s feelings. With her back to him, she muttered softly, “Fine, I guess we can try dating for a while and see where it’ll lead us.”

“I won’t let you down,” he promised in a magnetic voice as he bent down slightly to kiss the top of her head. “I’ll be sure to satisfy you in every imaginable way.”

She was at a loss for words when she heard this. I think it’s a little early for the kind of satisfaction you’re talking about, Elliot, she wanted to say. She didn’t think she would be ready to take things to the next level so soon.

Suddenly, she found herself thinking about Hayley and wondered whether the girl would go ballistic with rage after seeing the news.

However, Anastasia couldn’t care less about how Hayley might feel, much like how Hayley had not cared about whether she lived or died all those years ago.

“Have you been in contact with Hayley recently?” Anastasia asked, looking up at Elliot curiously.

He answered gravely, “The last time we spoke, she told me that she was going abroad on holiday for three months, but we didn’t speak after that. From now on, my assistant will be the one dealing with her instead and I won’t see her anymore.”

Anastasia could feel that he was getting uncomfortable talking about Hayley, so she nodded and let the matter drop. “Let’s go for breakfast before we head back,” she suggested brightly.
