Chapter 601
“Mason, it‘s not his fault. If he had a choice five years ago, he wouldn‘t have hurt me either.” Anastasia sighed.
“I don‘t know how he managed to gain your forgiveness, but... my heart aches for you.” It was spelled out in
Mason‘s eyes too, just how much sympathy he had for her.
“Thank you, Mason, but I‘ve come out on top now. Oh, let me congratulate you for joining Bourgeois!” Anastasia
raised her glass.
Mason sighed. “We‘ll be there at your wedding ceremony. I wish you well, always.”
“What about you? Are you married?” Anastasia asked out of concern for her friend.
Mason glanced at her before chuckling bitterly. “No. I haven‘t found the right one.”
The only woman he had ever liked was seated in front of him right now. Back then, his sister refused to let him go
after her and did everything she could to stop him. This led to Anastasia working for QR Group and him moving to a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdifferent country, and they fell out of contact as a result.
“There‘s no rush. You‘re still young. You‘ll find someone,” Anastasia said reassuringly.
“I hope so too, but I‘ll leave it up to fate. There‘s no point trying to force things.” Mason picked up the card and
glanced through it again. “You wrote this, right? I recognize your handwriting.”
“Yup!”
“Your handwriting still looks as amazing as ever.” He looked up at the woman in front of him, and affection filled his
eyes once more.
“Did you know? If it hadn‘t been for my sister coming between us, I would‘ve tried to date you, and we might‘ve...”
Mason was halfway through his sentence when he heard someone with a deep voice calling out, “Sweetheart!”
Anastasia looked up at the man approaching them and she got a little nervous. Why is he here?
However, she recalled that he was the one who gave Adriana her orders, so it was only natural that he would be
the first to know where she was and who she was with.
He probably heard what Mason had been trying to say, because otherwise, he would not have used such a mushy
term in public.
“You‘re here.” Anastasia gave him a sweet smile as she stood up to greet him. Then, she introduced him to Mason.
“Mason, this is my fiancé, Elliot.”
Elliot glanced at Mason and caught his eye before pulling the chair out. As he sat down, he placed one of his arms
on the back of Anastasia‘s chair and indiscernibly crowded into her personal space. It was like an animal staking his
claim on its territory, but either way, the message was clear.
Anyone could have gotten the message from a mile away, and Mason was no fool either. He greeted Elliot politely,
“Nice to meet you, President Presgrave.”
“Nice to meet you too,” Elliot replied with a faint smile.
“Elliot, this is Mason Sullivan. He‘s a good friend I met overseas.” As Anastasia said these words, she emphasized
the words “good friend” and stared at Elliot with a warning look in her eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnly Elliot would understand the warning in her eyes. She was warning him to not get jealous of Mason and to treat
him with courtesy out of respect for her.
Elliot blinked in response as if promising that he would be a good boy.
“Thank you for taking care of Anastasia while she was overseas,” Elliot thanked Mason.
“Not at all. It was the right thing for me to do.” Mason nodded and looked at the couple in front of him. He sincerely
meant it when he said, “Anastasia,
President Presgrave, I wish you two all the happiness in the world.”
“Thank you. You and Katrina must come to the wedding!” Anastasia said with a smile.
“We‘ll be there.” Mason checked his watch and said, “I should get back to the office. There are still a lot of things I
need to get the hang of. I look forward to working with you, President Presgrave.”
“Likewise,” Elliot replied with a nod.
There was nothing else for Mason to say, so he got up and left.
As soon as he was gone, Anastasia turned to Elliot. “You‘re not allowed to think of Mason as your enemy. He helped
Jared and me a lot while we were overseas, and when I was giving birth to Jared, he was the one who waited
outside the delivery room. He‘s also the first person who held Jared.”
Elliot‘s heart clenched tightly, and he nodded solemnly. “Okay. I will take good care of him at the company.”
