In response, Jared shook his little head and answered, “Nope. I can carry it myself.”

Though Jared was young, he could tell that Alex was trying to win over his mom’s heart. It wasn’t that he disliked Alex, but there was only one person who was qualified to be his future dad, and that person was Elliot.

“You’re a good boy, Jared,” praised Alex.

Just then, Anastasia halted in her steps. When she and Alex entered the premises, they saw two figures sitting on the bench—Elliot and Rey.

“Mr. Presgrave!” Jared immediately struggled to get out of Anastasia’s grip as he ran toward Elliot.

At the same time, Alex’s expression turned rigid. He didn’t expect to see Elliot here.

“Jared, I can’t carry you right now because I’m sick,” said Elliot.

“Are you sick? Did you take your medicine?” Jared asked with concern.

“Yeah! I’ve taken them.”

Rey, who was standing beside Elliot, leaned down and asked Jared, “Shall I bring you to the playground, Jared? Let’s give your mom and Mr. Presgrave some time to talk.”

Upon hearing that, Jared wondered, Since Mr. Presgrave is here, Mr. Hunter will probably leave!

“Okay, sure!” Jared nodded. He wanted to create opportunities for his mom and Mr. Presgrave.

Seeing that Rey had brought her son away, Anastasia turned to Alex. “Mr. Hunter, let’s go to my place!”

Elliot instantly furrowed his sharp brows upon hearing that. It turned out that this woman was bringing another man home!

“It’s fine, Miss Tillman.” Alex suddenly became a coward as he didn’t want to offend Elliot.

Anastasia knew that he had an urgent bladder. Moreover, he was just intimidated by Elliot, so she grabbed his hand and pulled him along while reassuring him, “You don’t have to be scared to come over to my place.”

Alex’s heart skipped a beat, but there was no doubt that Anastasia’s action had made his heart flutter. He nodded and apologized, “I’m sorry for the trouble.”

Instantly, Elliot pulled a long face as jealousy took over him. Was Anastasia playing a game of push and pull with Alex right now?

“Stop right there, Anastasia.”

Elliot’s voice, which was laced with anger, sounded behind Anastasia.

When she turned around, Elliot had an awful look on his face. “May I help you, President Presgrave?”

“Mr. Hunter, I need to have a private talk with her. Can you leave us alone?” Elliot didn’t even bother looking at Alex. He merely stared at Anastasia, but underneath every word contained a warning.

Seeing that, Alex quickly smiled and replied, “Sure. I’ll take my leave, then.”

After saying that, he furrowed his brows intentionally to show that he was holding his bladder.

When Anastasia saw him suffering, she insisted, “Don’t bother with him, Mr. Hunter. Come on!”

Just like that, Alex followed Anastasia to her house.

When Elliot’s attempt to stop them was ignored, he could only stand by and watch as his beloved woman brought another man into her house.

A sudden wave of emotions pierced his heart like sharp needles.

He couldn’t stop his violent coughing, and due to the pain in his chest, his straight figure was now bent.

After walking several feet away, Anastasia could vaguely hear someone coughing behind her, so she turned to check.

All she saw was Elliot crouching on the ground.

The next moment, she was already rushing to him.

“Elliot! Elliot! What’s wrong?” Anastasia bent over to support his arm. “Where does it hurt?”

The heart-wrenching pain in Elliot’s chest was relieved a little by her presence. When he raised his head, she could see that his face had turned pale, and his eyes had lost focus. He even lost his usual wise and sharp appearance. Elliot seemed so weak that he was about to collapse at any time.

“Didn’t you leave me alone here? Why did you come back?” Elliot grunted coldly as he pushed her aside and got up from the floor.

It pained Anastasia’s heart to watch him suffer. Subconsciously, she tried to support him and suggested, “I’ll ask Rey to send you to the hospital.”

With that said, she fished out her phone.

Elliot turned his head away like a sulky child. “I’m not going to the hospital.”

“Stop making a fuss. Even if you want to be dead, don’t do it in front of me.” While fishing out her phone, Anastasia made a merciless remark.

Her words instantly caused Elliot to gasp for air. “Are you trying to piss me off alive?”

Anastasia quickly shut her mouth. Just then, Alex arrived at the scene. “Are you alright, President Presgrave?”

“It’s none of your business.” Elliot’s cold gaze swept across him.

This time, Anastasia was a little upset with his attitude. Why was he being so rude to someone who was just concerned about him?

“Sorry, Mr. Hunter. If you turn left from here, there’s a mart.” Anastasia could only apologize to Alex since she couldn’t leave a sick man behind.

“No worries. I’ll see you on Monday.” Alex smiled before turning to leave.

Once he left, Anastasia tried to call Rey again, but Elliot snatched her phone away. “I said I don’t need to go to the hospital.”

“In that case, where do you want to go?” Anastasia didn’t know what to do about him anymore.

“I’ll just take a rest at your house.” After saying that, Elliot grabbed her phone and headed toward the elevator.

When Anastasia returned to her senses, she realized that she was once again entangled with him though she didn’t want to see him anymore.

In the elevator, Anastasia stared at Elliot. It was obvious that Elliot was thinner now, and his complexion was a little pale. Under his sunken eyes were patches of dark circles, and even his stubble could be seen; it was as if he hadn’t been taking care of his image lately.

After opening the door, she went to pour a glass of water for him.

Elliot sat on the sofa in a bad mood. Whenever he thought about Anastasia wanting to bring Alex into her house, he couldn’t help but feel his chest tighten.

“Why did Alex say he’ll see you on Monday? Are you guys dating?” Elliot held the glass in his hand and questioned.

After sparing him a glance, Anastasia replied, “I’ve decided to work at my father’s company.”

Hearing that, Elliot choked on his water and started coughing violently. “What’s wrong?” Anastasia asked in a hurry.

“Are you going to work in your father’s company, or do you just want to see Alex every day?” When the question came out of his mouth, Elliot looked exactly like a jealous boyfriend.
