Having developed an air of superiority at this house, Mrs. Gamer nodded in agreement. “That's right. How could madam possibly be friends with such a person?” Erica then dialed Alex’s number, upon which he answered the phone on the other end. “Hey, Erica.” “Where are you?” “I'm meeting a client.” “When are you coming home?” “I'll be back in a while.” ‘Cback, then. I'm bored of being alone.” Erica was yearning for Alex to cback to this home.

“Okay.” Anastasia didn't go to her office today. Instead, she went to the Presgrave Residence in the afternoon to take Jared out to relax.
They took a stroll in the park, with several bodyguards escorting them from behind to ensure their safety.
Jared seemed to know something, and a hint of grief sprang to his big eyes. “Mommy, when will Grandpa wake up?” “Your grandpa is ill, so he needs s tto wake up. Let's wait for him a little longer, okay?” Jared blinked his eyes. Being a sensible child, he behaved himself very well at the Presgrave Residence. Elliot often took the boy with him to the Presgrave Group or to hang out at shopping malls.
“Jared, I'll be busy these days.” “It's okay, Mommy. Just go ahead with your business. I'll be good,” Jared replied sensibly. He was well taken care of at the Presgrave Residence, where Harriet treated him like her own great-grandson. He said mysteriously, “Mommy, | saw Mr.

Fixing Anastasia with deep, fathomless eyes, Elliot whispered something to an elder next to him before coming toward her.
Anastasia sized him up with her head slightly tilted to one side.
Elliot narrowed his eyes, asking, “What are you looking at?” ‘I find that you're really quite handsome,” Anastasia praised.
Elliot was inwardly pleased by her words. Still, he asked somewhat sourly, “Only now do you realize it?” Anastasia couldn't help but chuckle. “I've never seen the doctor just now before. Is he newly hired?” ‘Mm-hmm.

He personally went to them and earnestly pleaded with them to cover.” how much I look like him.”
