Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 686

Chapter 686

“Artic, is there something on your mind? You can talk to me about it!” Emily sat beside him and hugged

his arm as she looked at him with doe eyes.

“No.” Arthur shook his head.

Then, she pursed her lips and asked, “Are you thinking about Sophia?”

Hearing this, he raised his beautiful eyebrows and answered again, “No.”

How could he possibly miss her? Anyway, she couldn’t escape until she returned his family heirloom.

At 9:30 PM, Anastasia accompanied her son into the room and helped him take a bath before changing

into his adorable cartoon pajamas.

Jared’s wet hair was combed to the side,

revealing his handsome and delicate little face, making him look like a young prince.

“Jared, it’s your birthday soon. Think about what you want as your present!” she said.

“Will you give me anything I want?” the little guy asked slyly.

“Yes, I will!” She would, of course, do anything for him.

Then, Jared smiled and requested, “Okay, then. I’ll tell you what I want for my birthday. I want a brother

and sister for my birthday present.”

When Anastasia heard this, she kept quiet for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. “I can’t give

you that by your birthday!”

“I’m not in a rush for it, Mommy. You can give them to me for my birthday present next year!”

This made her sigh softly; she knew that her son was a little lonely. She gently stroked his little head and

said, “Choose another gift. Let Mommy think about this one for a bit.”

The little guy immediately asked for another set of Legos, and she pulled him into a hug and kissed his

head. “Okay, I’ll get that for you.”

After tucking Jared to bed, Anastasia returned to her room, picked up a briefcase from the couch, and

looked through the documents. Elliot had a social gathering tonight, so she had to wait for him to return.

At about 11:00 PM, she heard the sound of a car, and soon, a handsome figure stepped through the

door. The black suit and pants gave him a stylish yet domineering look. He looked like he had just

stepped out of a magazine.

“Why are you still looking through documents?” Elliot sat down and took the documents from her hands

before continuing distressingly, “It’s late. Stop working.”

At this moment, Anastasia took a whiff of him. “You reek of alcohol. How much did you drink?”

“I didn’t drink much. I’ll take a shower.” He did not want the smell to rub off on her. Although he didn’t

drink much, the room reeked with the smell of alcohol and it absorbed into his clothes.

Lying in bed, Anastasia suddenly thought of her son’s birthday wish earlier. Because of the pain she had

experienced during childbirth, she was under a lot of pressure. If she were to have another child, it was

inevitable that she would have to experience what she endured again.

However, the kins of the Presgrave were phasing out. Thus, she was still burdened with the task of

continuing their bloodline. Before she could think more about it, she saw Elliot walking out with a bath

towel.

His sculpted and muscular body shone under the light, filling her with

As he lay in bed and took her into his arms, Anastasia couldn’t help but tell him about her son’s wish.

“The decision is yours to make. I won’t

force you.” He leaned in to kiss her head.

“I’m fine with just Jared.” Then, Anastasia raised her head slightly and asked, “Have you ever thought

about

having another child?”

“I’ve thought about it. I wanted a daughter so that she could be as beautiful as you.” Elliot curled his lips

into a smile. How could he not want another child? However, he was afraid that she would have to go

through the pain of childbirth again and he couldn’t bear it.

She was curious as well; if she were to have a daughter, would the child look like Anastasia or Elliot?

Then, he stretched his hands slightly and looked over at her in surprise, “Honey, why didn’t you tell me?”

Anastasia immediately snorted. “Don’t you keep track of the days? How dare you ask me to tell you! Of

course, I won’t!”

In a blink of an eye, he pulled her into his arms with force. “You little devil, are you

trying to starve your husband?”

This was a good enough reason for him to punish her, but soon, Elliot was a little annoyed. “I forgot to

buy them. I’ll call Rey-“
