No matter his figure or looks, one could almost say that he was perfect. This made some of the girls on the scene envious of Anastasia.

Besides that, Harriet also felt very proud, as her grandson was, indeed, handsome! Since he was young, he had always made her proud, especially when everybody would praise him no matter where he went.

By then, Anastasia had already come out of the waiting room and was waiting in the main hall. Even though it was only an engagement party, she was standing on the red carpet with a bouquet of roses in her hands. When the time came, the golden gates opened whilst romantic music slowly played in the background as she walked down the aisle to the man on stage.

“Wow! The bride is also very pretty!”

“She’s gorgeous!”

“They really are a pair meant for each other.”

The songs of praise all came from the old and young. Tonight, they only invited the extended families of the Presgrave Family and some important guests.

So, it could be said that they were all well acquainted with each other.

Walking step by step to the stage, Anastasia saw that the host tonight was none other than Jonathan, who was going to be the witness to their engagement.

Anastasia smiled at her future uncle before Elliot held her hand and stood beside her..

After a short speech, Jonathan congratulated them again.

“Here, we bear witness to the pair of couples, Elliot and Artastasia, wishing them a happy life thereon after and that they never part.”

“Now, let’s have the groom put the diamond ring on the bride to signify his love. After this, we will be looking forward to the upcoming wedding.”

The gaffer immediately dimmed the lights, leaving only the lights on the stage, focusing on the pair like a beam of moonlight. This enabled everyone to see them clearly.

Elliot first put Anastasia’s diamond ring on her while his was on the tray held by a woman, which Anastasia took. Reaching out, Elliot revealed his hand with his watch sticking out.

A ray of green light hit Anastasia, who was about to put the ring on him Attracted by the light, she forgot to put the ring on him, as she only stared at the reflection on his watch.

Under the dim lights, an emerald wolf’s head reflected itself from the watch.

The ring in her hands dropped because she was so shocked.

Elliot looked up and saw that Anastasia was stunned while staring at his watch to the point where it was as if she had seen something horrifying.

“What’s wrong, Anastasia?” Elliot hugged her.

The people below were anticipating the two exchanging the engagement rings when the bride dropped the ring and froze there, looking like an icicle.

All of a sudden, Anastasia turned to the gaffer and said, “Could you turn off the lights?”

A bit dumbfounded, he then immediately followed her request and switched off all the lights.

The whole venue descended into darkness. In the dark, everyone was shocked and stunned, as they all did not know what Anastasia was going to do. Even Elliot did not know what Anastasia was thinking of..

Anastasia was fixated on the watch, as the wolf’s head reared itself clearly upon the moment the lights went out.

Covering her mouth, the overwhelming emotions nearly made her faint. Her mind went blank while the memories from five years ago appeared. Although it was a dark night, she still remembered everything.

The watch was the exact same as Elliot’s, with the rare design of a wolf’s head.

“Anastasia, what’s wrong? Are you feeling alright?” Elliot’s concerned voice came as he hugged her and felt that she was trembling all over. It seemed like something terrifying had happened to her.

He was wrong, though. Anastasia was not trembling because of panic; she was. trembling out of shock. She tried to: recollect her thoughts without panicking.

Elliot had said that he recognized Hayley through a watch, and that night, it was Anastasia who threw the watch onto the floor when the man gave it to her.

The room was booked under Hayley’s name, so her phone number appeared in the registration. The staff who found the watch would naturally contact the person who booked the room, leading to the watch landing in her hands..

Elliot, who found Hayley through the list, thought that she was the woman who had a one night stand with him.

As for why Jared looked so much like him….

It was because…

The man whom she had a one night stand with was right in front of her!

Anastasia was caught in a dilemma as he was, simultaneously, the person she hated and loved the most.

This torrent of emotions washed over her, making her shudder in thought.

“Turn on the lights!” Elliot told the gaffer, since he detected that something must have happened to Anastasia to make her tremble all over.

The gaffer turned on the lights to the sight of Elliot embracing Anastasia protectively.

Buried in his chest, Anastasia took a few deep breaths before lowering her head and seeing the diamond ring on the carpet.

Gently pushing Elliot away, she bent down to pick up the ring and proceeded to put it on his finger.

“I have something to tell you.” Anastasia looked up at him, teary-eyed.

This made Elliot’s heart pang. Why is she crying all of a sudden?

The crowd below breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the bride put the ring on the groom.

“I’m sorry, but we’ll be excusing ourselves momentarily,” stated Elliot to the guests before he held Anastasia’s hand and went down the stage from the side exit.

Harriet then stood up and said, “No worries. Please, everybody, help yourselves with the food. I apologize beforehand if there’s anything inadequate.”

Originally, it was Elliot who was holding Anastasia’s hands, but once they reached the hallway, the situation turned around, as she could not wait to find a spot.

“What’s wrong, Anastasia? Did something happen?” Elliot was truly concerned about her.

Finally, she brought him into an empty room and closed the door. Holding his hands, Anastasia stared at his watch and asked, “You said that this watch was custom made by your grandmother for you. So, that means that there is only one in this entire world, right? There won’t be another watch with the same design?”

“Yes! It’s one-of-a-kind.” Elliot nodded.

“What about the wolf’s head on the watch face? Is it something exclusive to your family?”

“This wolf’s head is an insignia my grandmother believes in, as she had the designer incorporate it on the watch’s face. I think… this should be owned only by me.” Even though Elliot was not too sure, he had never seen another watch like his before.

At this point, Anastasia suddenly remembered that this watch was not the only proof of the one-night stand; there was also her darling son.

“You said that you found Hayley through this watch. Are you sure she was the woman you spent the night with back then?” Anastasia asked.

This made Elliot’s heart skip a beat. Does she still care about this? This was the only stain that he could not wipe away from his life.

“Yes,” Elliot replied gently, afraid of setting off her bad mood.

“Have you ever thought that the woman might not be Hayley and that it was actually some other woman?” Anastasia looked up at him and asked, seeming a bit angry that he was actually gentle toward Hayley before.

Stunned, Elliot could not respond.
