Chapter 389 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

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

Anastasia got out of the car and Adriana immediately came to stand beside her. Mason’s breath caught in his throat as he watched Anastasia approaching him.

Clearly, the Anastasia he remembered was the young woman he met at the design institute, the one in the bleakest period of her life. She was entirely different from this elegant and refined woman who was flashing him a brilliant smile.

“Anastasia, you’ve changed so much! I could hardly recognize you.” Mason could not take his eyes off her.

“Thank you! A lot has happened in the three years we’ve lost touch. Come, let’s grab a bite to eat. My treat.” “Okay, let’s go!” Mason noticed Adriana.

and asked with a smile, “Is this your friend?”

Anastasia nodded. “Yeah, she’s my friend. This is Adriana.”

“Nice to meet you,” Mason greeted her politely.

However, Adriana simply responded with a curt nod. Mason felt a little awkward, and he thought that this friend of hers was a little cold!

Anastasia nudged Adriana. “Adriana, I’m going to get something to eat with my friend. You’ll be alright by yourself for a little bit, yeah?”

“Miss Tillman, this…”

“It’s fine,” Anastasia assured her.

However, Adriana simply said, “I’ll go with you, but I’ll keep out of your way.”

Mason caught their conversation and could tell that Adriana behaved more like a bodyguard or an assistant. “Okay!” Anastasia did not stop her from joining them. The three of them headed to a nearby restaurant.

Adriana took her orders from Elliot as well, and now that Anastasia was having a meal with another guy, she informed him at once.

Right at that moment, in the middle of a solemn meeting at Presgrave Group, Elliot’s phone vibrated with a new message notification. He was listening to one of his employees give a presentation, but after glancing at his phone, he picked it up immediately.

“President Presgrave, Miss Tillman came to Presgrave Group to meet with a male friend.”

This message was followed by a picture of Anastasia walking with a man.

Elliot’s eyes narrowed. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the two people in the picture, but his heart felt a pang nonetheless..

Why did his sweetheart come to Presgrave Group but not look for him? Why did she come to meet some other guy instead? Why were they having a meal together?

Elliot grew more and more frantic with each thought.

“Do you know who he is?” Elliot typed back.

“His name is Mason Sullivan, a new hire at Bourgeois.”

Elliot waved Rey over. “Look into this person’s identity and background.”

Throughout the meeting, Elliot could not focus at all. He kept staring at the picture on his phone, and soon, Rey passed an iPad over to him with a resume on display.

Elliot studied it carefully, and once he saw where Mason had graduated from, he realized that this must be one of

Anastasia’s friends from the design. institute overseas since their tenure of study overlapped.

Mason Sullivan, Head of Design at Bourgeois..

Elliot gave a small sigh. He knew very little about the five years Anastasia spent overseas. All he knew was that it was the hardest period of her life. She was pregnant and alone in a foreign country. Anyone who helped her back then was equivalent to her savior.

Did this mean that this man was also one of the people who extended a helping hand to her back then?

If that were the case, there would be no way for Elliot to get involved in their relationship. He did not want Anastasia to be mad at him.

At the restaurant.

After taking a seat, Mason stared at Anastasia and commented wistfully, “It’s great that you no longer have it so hard anymore.”

“Thank you for all your help back then. You helped me survive the darkest period of my life,” Anastasia declared gratefully. “Is your younger sister, Katrina, back as well?”

“Yeah, she’s back home and currently working as a model.”

“She does have the talent for it. I’m sure she’ll do well as a model,” Anastasia said with a smile. Katrina was a very pretty girl.

“She has always been drawn to the spotlight, which is the total opposite of me. She used to be rather childish and would have said a lot of hurtful things in the past. I hope you didn’t take it to heart.”

“Why would I?” Anastasia smiled. It was all in the past.

Katrina knew that Mason wanted to date her, so Katrina put a stop to it and even hurled insults at her while she was pregnant. Even so, Mason ignored his sister’s protests and continued to take very good care of her. She was all alone in a foreign country, and sometimes she had no other choice but to accept his caring and thoughtful gestures to survive.

There was once when Jared had a high fever, and it was Mason who accompanied her through it all. He carried Jared and ran down many blocks of streets until they found a doctor who could attend to Jared. Thankfully, Jared managed to pull through.

That was the most frightened and distraught that Anastasia had ever been, and it was him who ignored his sister’s objections and did everything he could to help her.

Therefore, no matter how Katrina treated her, Anastasia would not take it to heart.

“Anastasia, where’s Jared? I haven’t seen him in so long!” Mason exclaimed.

“He’s in class right now. He’s already four! I’ll bring him to meet you some time.” Anastasia chuckled.

“Sure! I’m sure he’s quite a looker now. He was so cute as a baby, so he’ll definitely grow up to become a handsome man,” Mason praised.

Anastasia thought about Elliot. If Jared grew up to look like his father, he was going to be an incredibly handsome man indeed!

“How did you end up working in Bourgeois?” Anastasia asked out of curiosity.

“I was headhunted and invited to take the position, and I have a lot of faith in Bourgeois’ future development as a company, so I decided to come back to the country. I never thought our paths would cross like this again, but I ended up seeing your name at the office.”

“That’s right, I used to work for Bourgeois.”

“Used to? Why did you resign?” Mason asked.

Anastasia’s eyes gleamed with happiness. Then, she finally remembered about the two invitation cards, so she took them out and passed it over to Mason. “Here, I’ll be getting married soon, so I hope you two will come and attend the ceremony.”

Mason stared at the invitation cards for a very long time before taking them. There was a flash of dejection in his eyes. “You’re getting married, huh?” He flipped the card open as he said that. Once he saw the name written inside, his eyes flickered. “Elliot Presgrave? Your fiancé is Elliot Presgrave?”

Anastasia knew that he would be shocked. She nodded and said, “Yeah, my fiancé’s name is Elliot Presgrave.”

“Bourgeois’ owner, the president of Presgrave Group, Elliot Presgrave?” Mason chuckled somewhat bitterly as he bid goodbye to his fleeting moment of joy earlier.

Sometimes, even when one reunited with the person they longed for, one still did not get a second chance, because someone even better-a man even more powerful than one-was now by that person’s side.

“Yes, that’s him. He’s also Jared’s father.” Anastasia nodded and shared a secret. Instantly, Mason’s eyes flashed. “What?! He’s Jared’s father? That b*stard?”

Anastasia nodded and pursed her lips. “Mason, you shouldn’t say that about him. It was all an accident back then.”

“But… but what he did left you with so much pain, and so much despair… that you even tried…” Mason did not dare continue.

Mason had saved Anastasia once. It was when she was five months pregnant. She had lost all hope and attempted to take her life by jumping off a bridge. Mason was the one who jumped into the river and rescued her.

Therefore, in his eyes, the man who got her pregnant was an irresponsible bestard.

Anastasia sighed and urged him softly. “Mason, just leave the past in the past. I’m really happy right now.”

Mason’s fists tightened. “Why do your want to marry him? Is he trying to get custody of Jared? Is that why you have to marry him?”

Anastasia was taken aback but she shook her head. “No. A lot of things happened between us, and he has expressed a lot of regret about the past. We’re truly in love.”

“Does he know the disaster he brought onto you? Does he know everything you suffered through five years ago all alone in a foreign country?” Anastasia never mentioned the past to Elliot because she considered it an ill fated low point in her life, but now that Mason showed up, those memories began to resurface again.
