NIGHT OF DESTINY NOVEL BY VANESSA K - Season 3 Episode 60

Alex could tell Anastasia might stand on ceremony with Elliot, but she cared deeply about Elliot.

After dinner, Alex went to pay the bill, only to learn that Rey had already done so. With that, he went

back to the table to tell Francis. “President Tillman, President Presgrave had already paid the bill.”

“What?! Young Master Presgrave, I should be the one paying the bill!” Francis felt horrible. How could

he continue to let Elliot spend the money?

“Don’t worry about it, Mr. Tillman; we’re all family here.” A hint of a smile laced Elliot’s eyes as he

looked knowingly at the young woman next to Francis.

Anastasia reflexively lowered her head and retorted inwardly, Who’s family with you?!

On the other hand, Francis couldn’t thank Elliot enough. But just then, Francis got a call from his office,

saying there was something he needed to see to urgently. It was only when Anastasia watched how

her father kept shaking Elliot’s hand and thanking him again and again that she realized how rude she

was to Elliot.

Look at what she had done when even her father behaved differently around Elliot, fearing that Elliot experienced any remiss.

She had no respect for him from the moment they met, and she even found him repulsive. Even at this

point, she still saw him as an equal, in no way any more superior than her.

But now, looking at how her father behaved toward Elliot, she realized how horrible she had been

acting toward Elliot.

It was time for Anastasia to go home as well. With that, she went up to Elliot. “Thank you for today,

President Presgrave. I should take Jared home now.”

However, he had other plans. “Why don’t we go shopping instead? I’d like to get Jared some toys.”

With that, he picked the little guy next to him up and headed toward the mall.

“Hey…” Anastasia called out anxiously and chased after them with resignation.

Later, they arrived at the Lego store. Whatever Lego set Jared looked at and expressed his liking for,

Rey would take one box for him, and in the blink of an eye, the cart Rey was pushing behind Jared

already had a good few sets of Legos.

“President Presgrave, you’re going to spoil Jared. This is already plenty enough.” Anastasia had to stop

Elliot from splurging further.

Elliot, who was still carrying the little guy in his arms, still wanted to pick out a few more sets. But

Anastasia’s bright, insisting gaze told him she was serious. With that, he turned to Rey and said, “This

will be all.”

“Mr. Presgrave, can I play over there?” Jared pointed at the play station aside, hoping he could play

with the other children there.

As soon as Elliot put Jared down, the little guy dashed toward the play station. A gentle smile laced

Anastasia’s eyes as she watched her boy playing happily.

When she looked up, she was surprised by the pair of dazzling eyes staring right at her, melting her

away.

Anastasia’s heart skipped a few beats, and her lashes instantly fluttered in discomfort, unsure of where

to look.

Even if Elliot didn’t look at a woman with a tender gaze, he could already have her falling head over

heels for him, so which woman could say no to him if he softened up?

After paying for the Lego sets, Anastasia thought it was time for Jared and her to go home. With that,

Elliot told her to drive safely before leaving with Rey.

After returning home, Jared played with his new Lego sets on the carpet, minding his own business,

and Anastasia took this opportunity to work on her sketches. Now, all she had to design was Elliot’s

necklace.

But she wasn’t happy with any of the designs she came up with that night. Worse, her mind was

everywhere, and she couldn’t focus.

Back in the Tillman Residence, Naomi called Francis to ask about Tillman Construction’s fate. He

naturally didn’t hide anything from her, telling her Elliot had stepped in and the company wouldn’t be

acquired.

Naomi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the news. Francis’s company had been saved, so now she

had to come up with a plan to seize the company for herself. She couldn’t just sit idly by and get

nothing in the end.

Meanwhile, Hayley was waiting for Elliot’s phone call in the lavish mansion. It had been two days since

she told Anastasia to give him the necklace, but Elliot had never given her a call at all.
