NovelEnglishChapter 182 “Will you say the sif it's my cousin who pursued you?” Nigel pouted and asked. feeling a little depressed.
Something flashed across Anastasia’s eyes at that question. Elliot was never an obedient gentleman like Nigel. Instead, he had a strong and overbearing character, somewhat like a bandit’s. He would ignore her rejection and warnings.
Upon seeing her reaction, Nigel couldn't help feeling jealous. It seems like she gives Elliot special treatment.
In the end, she didn’t answer his question and she muttered, “After lunch, | have to return to the office for a meeting. You should go about your renovation.” In the evening, Anastasia went to pick up her son before a certain someone did so. Otherwise, the child would be taken away by him yet again.
This time, she successfully picked Jared up. She even brought him to the mall and had a stroll near her office. She also bought sdumplings hto cook. However, when she was buying them, the little boy kept asking her to buy more. “Mommy, that's not enough. | want more.” “It's enough. In fact, it's more than enough for the two of us,” she helplessly replied.
“No, it's not enough.” He used a small ladle and continued filling the frozen dumplings into the bag.

After they reached hand while Anastasia was at the balcony, the boy took her phone. Finding Elliot's number, he sent the man a message. ‘Mr. Presgrave, cover to have sdumplings!” All that was done quickly and easily.
‘Sure! I'm on my way, Elliot replied.
The boy put down the phone happily. As expected, Mr. Presgrave will come.
When Anastasia saw that it was getting late, she went to cook the dumplings.
“Mommy, you have to cook all the dumplings!” the little boy reminded her “It's too much. It's a waste if we can't finish them.” “I can finish them. | want to eat 50 dumplings!” he announced loudly.
“You can't fill 50 of them in your little tummy!” She chuckled as she said that.
“I can!” He put on a straight face as he commented, “Mommy, just cook them.” “Alright. I'll cook two plates first, and I'll make smore if it's not enough, okay?” she conceded with a smile.
“Okay, but don’t forget to cook more if it’s not enough!” Mommy can cook more when Mr. Presgrave is here, Jared thought.
Thereafter, Anastasia went to the kitchen to cook sdumplings. Meanwhile, the little boy waited and stared at the door as he listened to the footsteps outside intently.
Ten minutes later, Anastasia received a message on her phone. The boy quickly took a glance at it.
Open the door He giggled and immediately turned the door handle. Standing outside the door was none other than Elliot. The man was dressed like an elite who had just exited from a meeting room, and he emanated the presence of someone powerful and influential.
“Mr. Presgrave, we are having dumplings tonight.” “Great!” Elliot grinned.
Anastasia, who exited the kitchen to get something from the fridge, was startled to see the man in the living room.

“Mommy, | invited Mr. Presgrave over to eat dumplings,” the boy explained on behalf of Elliot, for fear that Anastasia would be mad.
Anastasia narrowed her eyes. At that instant, the reason behind Jared's actions of insisting on getting extra dumplings and asking her to cook 50 of them dawned upon her. It turned out that her son had included Elliot's portion since the very beginning.
“Don’t put him on the spot. | wanted to cmyself” Elliot chimed in.
There was nothing that Anastasia could do at that point since he had shown up.
“Alright, then. Since we have enough dumplings...” Looking at her son's large innocent eyes, she couldn't bring herself to scold him.
It's a good thing that he took the initiative to think about others. It shows that he has beca more mature kid, she thought.
“Have a seat. I'll go and cook the dumplings.” After Anastasia said that, she returned to the kitchen.
Subsequently, the first thing that cto Jared's mind was to ask for Elliot's permission. “Mr. Presgrave, Mommy is going to attend Grandpa’s banquet tomorrow night. Can | go to your house to play?” “What's wrong? Won't she be taking you along?” Elliot asked with a frown.
“Nope! Mommy said that it's not convenient forto be there because there will be a lot of people. She is going to get Grace to look after me, but | want to spend twith you.” MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
