Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
“Jared, it’s late already. Go to sleep.” Anastasia felt like her son was a busybody, as he had no obligation to explain things in such detail to the man.
Hearing that, Eliot was still a little upset. After all, he would never allow the existence of other men around Anastasia.
“Mr. Presgrave, my mommy will get her new car tomorrow. She said she’ll bring me on a drive!” Jared continued.
Elliot turned around to look at the woman. “You bought a car? Do you have a license?”
“Don’t underestimate me. Of course, I have a license.” Anastasia had gotten it six years ago when she was in her second year of college, but she just never had a chance to drive ever since.
“Jared, go to bed. It’s already 10 pm, so what are you dallying around for?” Anastasia glanced at her son.
Immediately, the little guy said knowingly, “Okay. Mommy, Mr. Presgrave, keep chatting! Don’t fight, all right? I’m off to sleep.”
The little guy went back to his room. As soon as he closed the door, a certain forceful man gripped Anastasia’s arm. A low voice warned, “Anastasia, don’t let people you don’t know in your house in the future. Am I clear?”
Anastasia looked down at her wrist, which the man was holding. She struggled a little. “Oliver isn’t a bad man. You don’t have to worry.”
“Don’t judge a book by its cover. How are you so sure that he doesn’t have any indecent thoughts about you? There’s only you and Jared at home, so if you meet someone with bad intentions, both of you will be in danger.” Elliot’s heart was bunched up in anxiety. Does she not have the slightest bit of wariness toward danger at all?
Anastasia did, of course. She had the ability to judge people, and to her, Oliver was considered a good person. “You’re also a very dangerous man to me. Please leave!” Anastasia took a step backward and tried to chase him out indifferently.
Of all the men she knew, the one who had taken the most advantage of her and disrespected her the most was none other than Elliot.
“I’m tired. Let me crash on your couch.” Elliot didn’t want to leave because he was beat. In reality, he had finished his work beforehand so that he could return as soon as possible. Hence, he hadn’t slept in the last 24 hours.
Anastasia was stunned. She had just talked about how dangerous he was, but now he was refusing to leave her house. “Elliot, stop fooling around and go home right now.” Anastasia reached out and tugged at him.
The man turned around to look at her, and when she peered into his eyes, she was shocked. This man’s beautiful eyes were bloodshot, as if he had stayed up all night.
Anastasia released her grip on him and asked out of concern, “H-How long has it been since you last slept?”
Elliot’s eyes were still red as his thin lips curved into a smile. “Are you worried?”
This man was obviously exhausted. Anastasia wasn’t exactly worried about him; she just thought that if he continued on like this, he would fall sick someday.
“Isn’t Rey waiting for you downstairs?” Anastasia asked.
“I told him to leave.” Elliot lay down on her couch and rubbed his eyes as he spoke.
“Look how exhausted you are. Next time, can you just go home instead of coming over?” Anastasia said in annoyance.
“I sleep like a baby when I’m here. It’s not like I can sleep at home anyhow,” Elliot said in a hoarse voice, as if he were going to sleep as soon as he touched the couch.
Anastasia looked at his large body curled up on the couch and felt somewhat sorry for him. She bit her lip and said, “Elliot, you can sleep in my bed.”
Elliot turned around and looked at her with his red eyes, the smile in his gaze deepening. “You’re really willing to let me have your bed?”
Anastasia avoided his gaze and humphed. “Do it before I change my mind.”
Elliot sat up and walked toward her bedroom. Then, he said quietly. “Don’t let any other man into your house ever again, much less your bedroom.”
“Mind your own business.”She stood by the door when she talked back to him.
Elliot took off his shoes before getting into bed. After he settled in comfortably, he said, “Anastasia, you do care about me. You just haven’t admitted it yet.”
“Quit the nonsense if you want to sleep.” Anastasia turned off the lights for him and closed the door. She moved to her son’s bedroom after that.
The little guy was actually sound asleep. Anastasia lay down next to him, and in the darkness, some thoughts began popping up.
Do I care for him? No, of course not. I was merely taking pity on him for overworking. After all, he’s my superior, and he took care of Jared.
While Anastasia looked for some more excuses, she got so tired that she, too, went to sleep.
Early the next morning, the little guy woke up first. When he saw his mommy sleeping on his bed, there was a flash of confusion in his large eyes. Then, he seemed to have guessed something as he immediately got out of bed and opened the door.
When he saw an unusually handsome figure seated on the couch, he cried out in joy, “Mr. Presgrave, did you sleep over at our house last night?”
Elliot pursed his lips and smiled. “Yes. Is your mommy awake?”
“She’s still sleeping.”
“Let her sleep, then. I’ll take you to school.” Elliot knew he had disturbed her plans last night.
The little guy was elated because he loved it when Elliot took him to school. He changed into his uniform and put on his little backpack, then emerged again.
Elliot took the car keys to the table, along with a lunch box that contained whole-grain bread Rey had bought earlier that morning.
