Chapter 306 It Wasn’t a Date

“Keep in touch, Miss Tillman. I will report to you about President Tillman’s condition whenever I can.”

“Alright. Thank you, Mr. Hunter,” Anastasia said with a smile. “I will have to trouble you with this.”

Alex then locked his car and offered, “Let me send you upstairs. I can also bring the president home from

there as well.”

She didn’t have a reason to reject, so she and Alex started walking side by side to the entrance of the

street. They looked good together as they walked the street illuminated by the streetlights.

Anastasia had not realized from the start till the end that there was a pair of eyes watching them from a

black sedan parked aside and how it happened.

Rey glanced at Elliot through the rearview mirror and asked, “Are you not getting out of the car, President

Presgrave?” He didn’t know what his employer was waiting for.

Elliot squinted with eyes that seemed to be covered by a layer of ice. So, this is why she was sending me

off to another woman so generously, he fumed. It turned out that she already had her eyes on another

man and he was none other than the capable financial manager who worked for Francis.

Francis had always been training Alex to be the one assisting Anastasia to inherit the company. Apart

from that, Francis had actually intended to have Alex marry into the Tillman Family.

So, has she accepted her father’s arrangement? She would rather throw me aside and get together with

Alex?

Elliot’s thoughts were so tiring that he had to shut his eyes. It was the first time where he had felt this

kind of mental exhaustion and instead of it being about work, his mental strain was caused by his

inability to have the woman he loved. Am I still not doing enough? he sighed.

By the time Alex and Anastasia went up, Francis was at home like they had expected him to be. He had

a relieved look on his face when he saw the two of them coming back from the date.

I will have to create more chances to get them together. 1 year should be enough before they get

married. I can finally retire by then.

This was the first time Alex had visited Anastasia’s abode. As he took in the comfortable environment, he

couldn’t help but think how beautiful life would be if he were to marry her.

“Alright now, Alex. We should leave. Jared has to go to school tomorrow!” Francis didn’t want to further

disturb his daughter’ rest.

When she heard that, Anastasia quickly reminded Alex, “Mr. Hunter, please drive Dad home safely. Don’t

speed through traffic.”

“Yes, Miss Tillman. Please don’t worry about it.”

Francis suddenly joined the conversation. “What is this ‘Miss Tillman’ nonsense? Don’t be a stranger,

Alex. Just call her Anastasia!”

“Okay.” Alex smiled. “I will start calling you Anastasia then.”

“Sure thing!” she replied in an easygoing manner.

She could finally let out a relieved breath after Francis and Alex left her place. Little Jared, who was

behind her, had his cheeks puffed out as he grumbled, “Mommy, why did Grandpa ask you to go on a

date with Uncle Alex? Don’t you want Mr. Presgrave anymore?”

Anastasia stayed quiet for a while before explaining to the child, “It wasn’t a date. We only went out to

talk about Grandpa’s company.”

“Mr. Presgrave will get angry if he knows! I am sure he doesn’t like it when you eat with the other misters

other than him.”

She immediately put a finger on Jared’s lips. “Jared, you can’t tell him, okay? Mr. Presgrave is a busy

man. We shouldn’t disturb him.”

“Then, does Mommy like Uncle Alex or Mr. Presgrave?”

“I only like you,” she answered in a singsong manner as she rubbed his fluffy head.

Her doorbell made a sound right this moment. Thinking that her father had left something behind, she

unhesitantly reached out to open the door.

Unexpectedly, it was Elliot standing there with fury exuding out of him.

Her eyes went round as she wondered why he had come.

“You… Why are you here?” Anastasia asked, in which he mockingly answered, “Alex Hunter can come

and I can’t?”

She was even more surprised as she wondered how he knew that Alex had dropped by. Did he bump

into Dad and Alex when he came up?”

“Mr. Presgrave, you are here!” A soft voice called out in surprise. Jared had always welcomed Elliot’s

presence.

His rage disappeared in that instant when he heard his name being called and with an equally gentle

demeanor, he carried Jared in his arms and caressed the crown of the boy’s head. “Did you miss me?”

he asked.

“I did.”

“How was your new school? We can change schools if you don’t like it.”
