Chapter 299 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

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

Since Hayley’s life was now meaningless, she wanted to drag Anastasia with her to the grave and leave Elliot alone in this world.

Meanwhile, Elliot was sleeping on Anastasia’s bed, and he didn’t wake up until the next morning. Only on her bed could he get such a good night’s sleep.

Christmas was around the corner, and the entire city was buzzing due to the festive season. It was a week away from Christmas Eve and Elliot started to get busy as well. The next day after the dinner they had together, Anastasia and Jared returned to Elliot’s villa.

Though Elliot had not given Anastasia an official status, living with him had become second nature to her.

Three days later, Rey walked into Elliot’s office carrying a watch box containing the watch they took from Hayley.

“The watch had been cleaned thoroughly, President Presgrave.”

Elliot took the watch from Rey. As it was his grandmother’s birthday gift to him many years back, he had always treated it as a treasure. He once thought of giving it to Hayley, but now, he simply wanted to keep it for himself.

After working hours, Elliot brought the watch back to the villa. When Anastasia heard his car, she walked out from her room to seek him out.

She knocked on his room and when she entered, she saw him holding a watch in his hand. Curiously, she asked with a smile, “You bought a new watch again?”

“No. This was an old watch given by Grandma.” Elliot, however, omitted the fact that he took it back from Hayley, fearing that Anastasia might get upset upon knowing it. Upon hearing his words, she took the watch and spent some time looking at it. Then, she said, “It looks exquisite. It must be expensive as well.”

“About tens of millions.”

She took another look at it after hearing that. “Let me examine it and feel what it’s like to hold tens of millions in my hand.”

Noticing that she liked it, Elliot said, “I’ll give it to you then.”

“No! How can I possibly accept such an expensive item from you? Even if I take it, I wouldn’t dare to wear it out. I would be just inviting snatch thieves if I wear it out without any bodyguards.”

Elliot smiled in response. “In that case, I’ll arrange twenty bodyguards for you. You can then wear any watch you like.”

“I don’t want to. I prefer a normal life,” Anastasia said while shaking her head.

He then led her into his closet. There was a massive glass display containing all of his watches, and he placed the watch she was holding in it. It glistened in the bright light. Due to the refraction of the lights, the wolf’s head figure on it, which normally shone in the dark, was emitting faint light as well.

As Anastasia was leaning against the glass display and admiring his collection, she felt a warm sensation behind her. When she turned around, she was met with the man’s intense stare.

The fire within his gaze was unmistakable.

She could understand what Elliot, as a normal twenty-eight-year-old man, was thinking of at the moment.

However, his phone rang unexpectedly. He took a look at the screen and saw the name that disgusted him.

The call was from Hayley.

Anastasia saw it too, and she immediately raised her head and wanted to ask if he would answer the call.

However, Elliot rejected the call and blocked Hayley’s number.

Anastasia knew that, despite their previous one-night stand, Hayley’s act of harming his grandmother was totally unacceptable to Elliot, and that by doing so, she would never see him again.

Noticing that he wasn’t in a good mood, Anastasia hugged him and said, “I’ll prepare dinner tonight. What do you want to have?”

“I enjoy whatever you cook.” Elliot hugged her back, pressing her against his chest so they could hold each other tightly.

All Anastasia could smell as she was buried in his arms was his hormonal scent, and she heard him say beside her ear, “But you’re my favorite dish of all.”

At that, she pushed him away with a smile. “I’m sorry, President Presgrave, but such a dish is not available tonight.”

She exited the room after finishing her words, leaving him smiling alone in the room. Elliot was patient enough to wait for what he desired.

It was a dark night outside. All of the other watches in the glass display were dimly lit; only the watch they were looking at earlier had a wolf’s head on it, exuding a domineering aura.

Meanwhile, Hayley sat dejectedly on a bench on the cold street. She had called numerous times, but none of her calls were answered.

She knew that Elliot had blocked her.

The cold breeze blew through her, and she immediately wrapped her arms around herself. It was only now that she realized the expensive clothes she was wearing weren’t designed to withstand cold weather, as those who could afford them would never be forced to live on the streets.

Suddenly, she thought of another person, and she dialed Daniel’s phone number using her phone.

“Hello?” His voice sounded aloof.

“It’s Hayley. Can I sleep over at your place, Daniel?” Biting her lips, she requested.

“Miss Seymour, I’m sorry, but we shall not be in contact anymore.”

“How can you treat me like this, Daniel? We’ve slept together so many times. Don’t you have any feelings for me?”

“If I’m not mistaken, Hayley, you were always the one to make the first move. Which man will reject a woman who took the initiative? Truth is, I really don’t have any feelings for you.” Daniel was fired by the Presgrave Group, and he blamed Hayley for his loss of such a well-paying and promising job.

“Daniel, you’re such a b*astard,” she scolded.

“I liked you before you had plastic surgery. However, now that you’ve had surgery, I find it repulsive that your face is filled with prosthetics.” He then continued, “You look exactly like a ghost when you cry.”

His words enraged Hayley to the point where her face flushed and she thought she was going to blow a gasket.

“Anastasia is naturally beautiful, but yours is man-made. Don’t even think about comparing yourself to her. You will never be able to match her beauty in your lifetime.” Daniel spit out even harsher words.

“That is absurd! In every way, I’m not worse than she is!” Hayley screamed angrily.

“You’d do well to wake up! President Presgrave has been uninterested in you since the beginning. A lowly woman like you even wishes to be a princess, but even with the crown on, you’ll look amusing!”

“Shut up, Daniel Lancaster! You have no right to talk to me in such a way,” she angrily refuted.

“Don’t ever call me again. Well, now that you have a new look from the surgery, you might be able to survive if you sell yourself.”

“Piss off!” Gritting her teeth and trembling with rage, Hayley squeaked out these two words and hung up.
