Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 582

Chapter 582

Anastasia took the microphone from Elliot. “Elliot and I met five years ago, and while it was only a

fleeting moment back then, we are happy that our paths have crossed again. I hope that everyone will

celebrate the reunion of our family of three and wish us well.”

Elliot had a look of gratitude and commitment. Anastasia’s words had masked the mistake he made five

years ago and said that they had been briefly acquainted.

She protected his dignity.

Elliot swore to love her for all eternity.

“Are you really my daddy?” Jared had not wrapped his head around this yet.

Elliot kissed Jared on the forehead and said with absolute certainty, “Yes, I am. Say ‘Daddy.”

“Daddy!” Jared exclaimed happily before hugging him by the neck.

The word “Daddy” rang out loud and clear.

Elliot’s eyes teared up again as he stared at his son with indescribable joy. He wrapped his hand behind

Jared’s head and pulled him close to rest their foreheads together. He then twirled him around on stage

before finally planting another kiss on Jared’s head.

Beneath the stage, Harriet had also welled up with happy tears and was now a crying mess. Nigel and

Brenda both stood beside her in fear that her overexcitement might trigger her high blood pressure.

This news was the icing on the cake at the engagement ceremony.

Anastasia thought about what Hayley had screamed at her back then. She said there was a secret she

would bring with her to the grave.

Anastasia knew what the secret was now. Hayley was probably referring to Jared’s . true lineage.

She had a bout of belated fear as she wondered what would have happened if she had not found out

about this secret. Her son may never have been able to reunite with his father.

It would be one of the world’s greatest tragedies if the father and son had run into each other but never

got to know the truth.

Thankfully, fate did not choose to do this to them, and she did replace out the truth..

That deplorable woman, Hayley Seymour, would pay for this!

After getting off the stage, Elliot brought. Jared to a lounge backstage. He was beating himself up for

replaceing the wrong person a year ago. This meant that he had delayed reuniting with his son for an entire

year, and his son even called him. mister.

I’m sorry, Jared. Daddy was too stupid that he didn’t recognize you.’ Elliot was guilt ridden.

“Daddy, you’ve been very good to me!” Jared shook his head and wisely consoled

Elliot. He finally realized why he felt oddly close to Elliot from the first moment he met him.

Anastasia took one look at her son and the tears she had fought back all this time finally broke free. This

was the best news she could ever receive. All along, she did not have the guts to tell her son who his

father was as she was afraid that he might look down on himself for it. She rued the fact that Hayley had

invented the story of a gigolo to trick her. Due to this, she had never felt suspicious about the possibility

that Jared and Elliot might be related.

This explained why Hayley had destroyed all of Abyss Club’s stored data. She was trying to hide the

truth so that she could take Anastasia’s place and enjoy the material benefits that Elliot provided as

compensation.

Hayley was far too greedy. Not only did she enjoy such material benefits, but she also had her eyes set

on becoming the young mistress of the Presgrave family. This was why she kept trying to come between

Anastasia and Elliot.

However, the world worked in mysterious

ways and fate had brought Anastasia back to Elliot’s side. This was Hayley’s worst fear, and it made her

go to extreme lengths to try and become Elliot’s wife. She was even willing to put Harriet in danger so

that she could throw Anastasia under the bus for it.

In the end, Hayley paid for her heinous behavior. Elliot stopped his provision to her and he took back the

watch she had kept.

This watch was the catalyst that led to the truth coming to light.

“From now on, Daddy will do everything it takes to make it up to you.” Elliot would serve the world up on

a silver platter if Jared asked him to.

Anastasia knew that Elliot was overcome with emotion from finally reuniting with Jared. She sat down

beside him and said, “As long as the three of us get to live happily ever after together, nothing else

matters.”

“Mommy, does this mean you’ll be giving me a younger brother or sister?” Jared’s

pleading began in earnest once again.

Meanwhile, Elliot finally knew why he could never get the feeling he felt five years ago when he was with

Hayley. It turned out that the woman he felt guilty toward was not Hayley after all, but Anastasia.

“I’m sorry.” Elliot looked Anastasia in the eye and apologized once more for his frenzied state five years

ago.

The man who traumatized her turned out to be him. He did not recall much about that night five years

ago as he had lost all his senses. All he could remember was her quiet sobbing and helpless pleas for

mercy.
