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

Now, it is time to pick up Jared.

Aliona had no choice but to leave the office and she couldn’t react even though she was annoyed. When she returned to the office, she noticed Anastasia was carrying her bag and leaving work. Seeing that, Aliona felt a stabbing pain in her heart. Are they going to leave together?

When Anastasia arrived at her car, Elliot was already there. His tall figure was leaning against her small car and he looked even more charming than the male model.

“W-What are you doing standing next to my car?” she asked with a faint smile.

“I am coming with you to pick Jared up,” he replied as he arched his eyebrows.

“No, thanks. I can do this by myself.” Anastasia instinctively didn’t want to trouble him.

“Jared must have missed me. I have to come along.” After saying that, he held her wrist and walked toward his car.

“Hey, hey! I am driving, Elliot,” she insisted.

“Your car is not safe enough. Take mine.” After Elliot settled her in the passenger seat, he quickly got into the car.

Anastasia ended up picking up her son with him just like that.

She enjoyed the scenery along the drive. As she bent her head and glanced at her bracelet, she quickly peeked at Elliot’s one. The matching bracelets of theirs looked so intimate that it made her heart race.

Aside from that, the way Elliot held the driving wheel with one hand was such eye candy that caused her heart to race even harder. She had been thinking too much in the past few days; that was why she couldn’t look at his face as naturally as she used to.

When they arrived at Jared’s kindergarten, Elliot dragged Anatasia to the director’s office before she could go to Jared’s classroom. It turned out that he wanted to apply to be in the facial recognition record and collect the entry card.

While the young female teacher operated the facial recognition system, she couldn’t help but peek at Elliot’s stunning face in the camera several times. Oh my, Jared’s father is so good-looking!

Throughout the process, Anastasia could only watch how Elliot socialized with the teacher. Before she could even speak, he had already claimed himself to be Jared’s father and she couldn’t refute him in front of the teacher either.

In fact, Anastasia had previously asked by the teacher about Jared’s father’s employment. At that time, she had lied that he was abroad. Now, Elliot’s appearance had successfully covered up for her lie.

Elliot came out of the office with the corners of his lips curled up. “If you’re not free in the future, I can pick Jared up,” he offered.

He is right, Anastasia thought. It was always a good idea to have a person as a backup in case of an emergency. “If that’s not too much trouble for you,” she responded.

“Whatever things that you think might trouble me are nothing to me,” he clarified.

Before they could even arrive at Jared’s classroom, they found him sitting on the bench next to the classroom.

Jared spotted her with his sharp eyes and exclaimed, “Mommy!”

Anastasia immediately stood still, waiting for her son to come and hugged her. However, when Jared ran over with an overjoyed expression, she didn’t know it was because he saw Elliot with her.

As Anastasia squatted down and anticipated for Jared to leap into her arms, he suddenly went past her and ran toward someone behind her. At that moment, she felt disheartened. When she turned around, she noticed Elliot tightly hugging Jared, who chirped happily, “Mr. Presgrave, you finally came to pick me up!”

Since she felt a little jealous, Anastasia turned her head just to meet Elliot’s upturned eyes and his expression was like the cat that earned the cream. At first, she was stunned for a second, but she couldn’t help bursting out in laughter thereafter. When did he win over Jared’s heart to such a degree? she wondered.

As soon as Jared got in the car, he began bombarding Elliot with questions.

“Mr. Presgrave, were you busy?”

“Mr. Presgrave, why haven’t you come to pick me up? I thought you had forgotten me!”

“Mr. Presgrave, are you coming to my house for dinner tonight?”

“Mr. Presgrave, why don’t you go to my house for dinner tonight?”

“I miss you so much, and so does Mommy!”

An embarrassed Anastasia wanted to cover Jared’s tiny mouth so that he would stop his nonsense.

So, when Elliot’s gaze was reflected from the rear-view mirror, she merely glanced at him and diverted her gaze nervously after that.

He naturally went to her house for dinner in the evening, as if their relationship was back to normal after the past few days.

After dinner, Jared couldn’t wait to go downstairs and play. While Anastasia cleaned up the table and washed the dishes, Elliot took Jared downstairs to the park for a walk. They felt like a family of three; reassuring and warm.

It was after 8.30PM that Anastasia finished cleaning the dishes. Feeling slightly tired, she sat on the couch and switched on the news. The door swung open at 9.00AM and Jared’s laughter could be heard from the entrance.

“Mr. Presgrave, can you teach me that next time? I want to be the same as you,” Jared asked as his voice was full of admiration.

“Sure. I’ll teach you when you’re older,” Elliot answered him in a low-pitched voice.

Although it was early winter, Jared’s face was flushed as he was perspiring. As soon as he entered the door, Anastasia said, “Go and get your pajamas, Jared. I will bathe you soon.”

After Jared heard her, he obediently headed to his room to get the pajamas. Then, she poured a glass of water for Elliot as he must have been tired looking after Jared. “Here. Drink some water,” she said.

Elliot didn’t take the water. Instead, his large palms gently wrapped around Anastasia’s waist and he leaned toward her abruptly. As she held the water in both hands, her beautiful eyes widened. She could feel the atmosphere was getting sensual, and when combined with Elliot’s attractive hormonal smell, it was deadly alluring.

“You are being nice to me.” He seemed moved.

Anastasia thrust her hand out and passed the water to him as she explained, “Jared is too active, so you must be tired.”

Elliot took the water, raised his head and gulped down the glass of water. His sexy Adam’s apple moved up and down as he swallowed. It looked so manly and wild that she dared not look at him.

“I will bathe Jared first. Get some rest before you leave,” she said politely as she couldn’t rush him to head home immediately.

When Jared entered the bathroom, he suddenly said, “I can bathe myself, Mommy. You can leave me here. Mr. Presgrave said that boys should learn to bathe on their own.”

Silence greeted the air.

Though it was unexpected from Jared, Anastasia was very pleased that her son desired independence. She then showed him how to turn on the water and adjust the water temperature. As Jared was intelligent, he quickly picked them up.

After that, Anastasia pushed open the door and came out of the bathroom. Elliot was casually sitting on the couch, and his lazy look was still charming. He was fiddling with the TV remote control to search for news that grabbed his attention.

“Jared said he wants to bathe by himself,” Anastasia said to Elliot. Then, she asked, “Do you want some fruit?”
