Chapter 199 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

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

“Before I passed out that day, I gave her a watch. She sold the watch to a second-hand watch seller a few months ago, so I knew the woman that night was her.” He told her everything, no holds barred.

Something occurred to Anastasia. Why is every man like this, only compensating after taking advantage?

She was reminded of the night she was taken advantage of. While she was crouching beside the sofa in agony, the b*stard did the same thing; he seemed to be removing his watch and handing it to her. At that moment, she was overwhelmed by rage and agony that she simply slapped his hand away and dashed out.

If she had the strength, she would definitely look for a knife on the room’s fruit platter and kill him with it. Even if she couldn’t kill him, she would at least ensure that he could no longer engage in sexual activities in the future and that he would have no heirs for the rest of his life.

But, after being violated, all she could think about was finding Hayley and making sure she was okay. Thus, it was such an irony to discover that Hayley was the source of all her pain.

Elliot noticed Anastasia’s face becoming solemn, as if she was lost in her thoughts. He couldn’t help but be concerned and inquired, “What are you thinking?”

“So she left you with a wonderful memory, right? It’s been five years, and you are still looking for her,” she said, attempting to be sarcastic.

He was stumped for words. She was right. In fact, he had been thinking about that night and the woman who cried before him for the past five years.

But he hadn’t thought about that night since he found Hayley. Even if he did, he couldn’t connect what happened that night to Hayley because she gave him a completely different vibe than the one he remembered.

“Are you bothered by what happened between Hayley and me?” As if he was afraid of something, his voice was tense.

To that, she fluttered her long hair, revealing her cheerful face, and smiled. “Of course I’m not!”

Why should she be bothered by that? She merely wanted to know the truth.

“Anastasia, I can’t change the past. Don’t be concerned about my past; we have a future together.” His brows furrowed, and his gaze tensed under the light. He was obviously nervous at the moment.

“That’s true; there are things that just can’t be changed. It’s late now. Rest earlier, President Presgrave.” She had experienced the same thing in the past. So, she was well aware that time couldn’t be reversed, and she could only accept what had happened.

With that, she rose to her feet and made her way to her room. But the man sitting on the sofa blocked her with his leg, and his broad palms pressed against her shoulders before turning her around to face him.

She stumbled into his embrace, dizzy from the alcohol she had just consumed. But she felt compelled to push him away. “Don’t do this, Elliott!”

“It is bothering you. Isn’t it just that you don’t want to admit it?” His gaze was fixed on her, making it impossible for her to flee.

She was startled by this. Pushing him, she said, “Let me go, Elliot. Stop acting unreasonably.”

“Is it me who is being unreasonable, or is it you who is unwilling to face your true feelings? You obviously like me, but you refuse to admit it.” He wanted to expose her true thoughts in order to force her to face her true feelings.

But she, too, was no longer a young and naive girl, knowing full well that she could only face what could not be avoided calmly.

Raising her head and looking at him with her clear eyes. “President Presgrave, I’m the one who knows better whether or not I like you. If you want to know the truth…”

“Stop giving me this.” He heartlessly stopped her because he knew that her so-called truth was nothing more than a lie.

But she insisted on going on. “President Presgrave, you had the wrong impression. I’m not sure what I did to make you feel that way, but you must have misunderstood something. You have such a high position, and you’re also my boss. You have my gratitude and admiration for all that you have done for me, but they are not love. Please do not confuse them.”

Elliot was enraged by this. This woman was clearly lying through her teeth, and she even said it so boldly and confidently!

His body stiffened. He was now like a trapped beast, almost insane from suppressing all of his emotions, in desperate need of venting everything he was feeling.

Elliot found his way to vent upon seeing Anastasia’s red lips. With his large palm pressing against her head and his other hand clutching her waist, he sealed her red lips with his. Her delicate lips were enraging him and driving him insane.

She deserves to be punished.

She had consumed alcohol earlier, and her mind was already foggy. She felt even weaker in the face of his actions. His kisses were always commanding, with no room for defiance, especially tonight’s.

He was like a wild beast waiting to devour her alive. Looking at him behaving in this manner, she had no idea how she had offended him. This kiss lasted until a stray bird flew across the window, as they both assumed her son had awoken.

Grabbing the opportunity, she immediately pushed him hard and covered her swollen lips. “If you keep on behaving so rudely, I’ll move out tomorrow.”

Though he hadn’t had enough, he replied, “Okay. No more kissing.”

Immediately, she returned to her room, her brain appearing to be depleted of oxygen. She fell asleep within seconds, convinced that she would never mess with him again.

The next day, when Anastasia awoke around eight o’clock in the morning, Elliot’s house was already crowded with people. They were all from the Global Haute Couture Customization Company, which sent ten mini tuxedos and ten evening gowns for Jared and her to choose from.

Oh, woah! This is unexpected. She had assumed she would have to rent an evening gown on her own, but Elliot had now arranged for door-to-door service.

“Miss Tillman, these are all for you to choose. If none of them is to your liking, we’ll replace them with a whole new set. They are all from our headquarters, and I can assure you that they’re one of a kind. With them, you’d never have to deal with the awkward situation of bumping into someone wearing the same gown as you.”

Looking at the gowns, she realized that each one was beautiful enough to entice everyone at the banquet. A silver-gray gown with gray sequins on the upper part and a gauze skirt for the rest drew her attention. Because of the off-shoulder design, it appeared elegant and sexy but not overly revealing.

“Let me try this.” She pointed at the gown she saw.

She went back to her room to try it on, and because it fit her well, she decided to wear it to the banquet. She then started looking for a suit for her son. The moment he put on the suit she chose, she was startled by how similar Jared looked to Elliot.

He is just a mini version of Elliot! Will someone mistake Jared as Elliot’s son tonight? She was worried because she would not know whether to laugh or cry if such a thing happened.

Thinking about this, she realized she hadn’t seen Elliot all morning and had no idea what he was up to. Thus, she told her son, “Jared, go play alone for a while.”

Jared immediately heeded to his playing room. Meanwhile, she went up to the third floor to look for Elliot. She was on the third floor when she heard a voice resonating from the study room and decided to go in. As she stood by the door, she saw a man talking on the phone on the balcony.

Seeing that, she tactfully turned around to avoid disturbing him. Just when she was about to leave, she heard his shouting from the balcony. “Ask him to leave! If he dares to attend my grandmother’s birthday party, I’ll make him vanish from this world.”

That made her heart pound anxiously, and she turned around to see the man standing on the balcony with his back facing her. He was gripping the rails and clutching the phone tightly, as if someone had enraged him. This was his rare angry side, and she happened to catch it.

Who made him angry so early in the morning?

“This is my last warning. If he refuses to take my warning seriously, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” He dropped such words to the person on the other end of the call. His phone was still tightly gripped in his hand, and with his head lowered, his figure from behind appeared depressed.

Such a scene made her chest tighten, and she felt compelled to comfort him even before she realized why. But she had no idea whether she had the right to do so. This man had always appeared domineering before her, and he might not want her to see his weaker side.

Just when she was hesitating, the man on the balcony turned around suddenly, and their eyes met.
