Chapter 328 Mommy Is in a Good Mood

Anastasia started to shove Elliot away out of guilt, which left Elliot with no choice but to release his grip

on her.

She immediately turned to hide from him. Only God knew about the thoughts that she had about Elliot

and Aliona for the past 2 days and if Elliot was a mind reader, Anastasia would definitely die from

embarrassment if he was a mind reader.

She didn’t even want to think about how she cried and wailed like an abandoned wife in the middle of the

night because of him.

Still, thinking that it was better for her to explain herself so that Elliot would not misunderstand the

relationship she had with Alex, Anastasia started, “I didn’t pick up your call because I put it on silent

mode before my dad dragged me to the board meeting. Dad and I went to the construction site in the

afternoon without our car. I was almost late picking up Jared, and so I asked Mr. Hunter to send me

over.”

After hearing the rather normal explanation, Elliot let out a satisfied smile, and he haughtily snaked his

arms around her waist from behind. Then, he started coaxing her in a voice that was thick from sleep. “It

was my fault. Can you please forgive me?”

Since she did not want to get intimate with him so soon, she subconsciously tried to pry his hands away.

However, not only did she not succeed at moving him away, his hold on her had only tightened as he

even rested his chin on her shoulder. “Can I tell you a secret?” he asked suddenly.

Anastasia’s eyebrows were knitted together as she inquired, “What is it?”

“The car that you entered was my car. The person who brought you to this hotel was me. And the person

who changed you into a bathrobe was also me.”

She could feel her last string of sanity snap after he said those words. She had already guessed that he

was the culprit behind everything that had happened up until now.

“Let me go! What did you do to me?” The blood had rushed up to her cheeks and to the tip of her ears.

She was planning to let him off the hook for making her angry, but he even went as far as to see her with

nothing on!

Elliot chuckled upon seeing her reaction. “Don’t worry,” he reassured her. “I am a man of integrity.”

“You are a prick!” Anastasia retorted.

Deciding not to piss her off any further, he sighed provocatively next to her ear. “I better take a cold

shower to calm a certain body part of mine down after you held me for the entire night.”

She instantly understood his words, and she stayed frozen in the same spot.

The man then walked toward the bathroom while she went to sit on the balcony sofa.

Her mind was still a little fuzzy in addition to her headache, but at least she finally had an answer for

something on her mind.

The rumor about Elliot and Aliona that had been circulating around was false, but it was true that

Anastasia was losing her mind these 2 days. The tears she had shed for him were also true and her

jealousy was so raw that there was no need to wonder whether it was real or not.

What… What is wrong with me? I think I have fallen for him. She then lifted her chin to look at the sky

wordlessly. How can I have fallen for him?!

Soon after, Rey brought a white dress that Anastasia eventually changed into before Elliot had him send

her home.

As she sat in the car Rey was driving, she was in the midst of daydreaming when she suddenly thought

of something she wanted to ask him.

“Mr. Osborne, did you and Elliot go to my son’s kindergarten Wednesday afternoon?”

Rey had seen how she and his boss interacted earlier in the hotel room and he guessed that they had

probably reconciled.

He answered with a smile, “Yes. President Presgrave was excited to fake a coincidental meeting with

you, but you had already picked up Jared with another man in tow. The president was exasperated! I

remember how dark his expression was when we went back.”

Was he really that mad? Anastasia wondered.

Since he thought that he needed to help Elliot say something, he continued, “I believe that the president

has already explained to you about the matter regarding him and Miss Dora. Please don’t misunderstand

him, Miss Tillman. President Presgrave was only venting his anger. He truly does care about you and

has no other intention than to ensure that Miss Dora is well.”

Anastasia was somewhat embarrassed to hear these words coming from Rey.

Rey left right after he dropped her back home. As her father had some business to attend to, she was

the only one who kept Jared company and she did not even realize the silly grin that remained on her

face.

Jared suddenly noticed the smile and he curiously asked, “Mommy, what are you smiling about?”

“Oh?” She quickly covered her face with her hand. “Was I smiling?”

“You did!”

“It is probably because I am in a good mood.”

“Did something happen that made you happy?” the boy asked with a tilted head.

She didn’t have an answer to his question. All she could do was to rub him on his head thereafter and

say, “I will tell you next time.”
