Chapter 602
“Mmhmm!” Anastasia sighed and said, “Those years I spent overseas were the hardest period of my life, so anyone
who walked with me through those years and cared for me, will always be someone that Jared and I owe a lot
to.”
“I‘m sorry. It‘s my fault. I should‘ve found you five years ago.” Elliot blamed himself for everything. Five years ago,
he did go back to try and find the woman, but the employees at the Abyss Club were a mess and he did not try very
hard either. He ended up getting tied up with the company‘s affairs and had to run around the globe for over a year
before finally coming back.
It was in that year that he realized he could not forget the woman from that night, so he decided to search for her
once more. He decided to use the watch to find her. As long as a woman showed up with that watch in hand, he
would know that it was her.
However, he never would have expected that Anastasia would have thrown the watch away that night, and it would
end up in another woman‘s hands.
“Forget it. Let‘s not talk about the past anymore. We should look toward the future,” Anastasia consoled him before

Elliot clasped her hand tightly and promised, “We‘ll always be together, forever.”
He took her out to lunch, and in the afternoon, he accompanied her to a nearby shopping mall to take their mind
off things.
Back at Bourgeois, Mason returned to the office and gave his sister a call to inform her about the wedding
ceremony.
“What?! Anastasia‘s future husband is the president of Presgrave Group, Elliot Presgrave? You must be kidding!”
Katrina exclaimed in disbelief.
“Why would I kid about something like this? I even met him just now.”
“So what you‘re saying is, the child Anastasia gave birth to back then is his
as well?”
“Yes, he‘s the father.”
“Wow, Mason, you‘ve hit the jackpot then! If it hadn‘t been for you, the Presgrave Group‘s little heir would have
drowned with his mother. He wouldn‘t have been born at all! Did Elliot Presgrave offer to give you a raise?”
“Don’t talk like that, Kat!”
“Huh? Why not? Elliot Presgrave is loaded anyway. Shouldn‘t he repay you in some way?”
“That‘s enough, Kat. Don‘t bring this up ever again. I‘m just glad that I ran into Anastasia once again and know that
she has a good life now.”
“You haven‘t had a girlfriend all these years because of her, but look at her. The moment she shows up, she throws
a bunch of wedding invitations at us. That‘s so unfair for you!”
“Enough of that. She invited you too, so are you going?”
“I‘ll go! Of course, I‘m going! I want to see Elliot Presgrave in person! I heard that he‘s an incredibly handsome
man,” Katrina commented.
“Fine. We‘ll talk later.” Mason ended the call and his thoughts began to drift again.
It was six years ago when he first saw a girl sitting in a park with her luggage in tow. Winter was nearly upon them,
but she dressed in so very little that it made others take pity on her. He saw the stickers on her luggage and
decided to talk to her.
When she looked up at him, her clear and breathtaking eyes were full of
caution.
She asked him for directions to the design institute, and he just so happened to be a student there, so he was happy

Mason then helped her find a place to stay, and when he asked for more
information, he finally realized that she was not enrolled in the design institute, but just someone who came
because she was determined to study design.
He had to break the news to her that the design institute never accepted students who did not enroll the traditional
way. However, she looked at him with a pair of steadfast eyes and said she had no other option now. She had to get
into the design institute.
She had heard about a genius designer who had been admitted into the design institute on special consideration,
and she believed that she could too. Mason was moved by her determination.
He decided to help her approach the institute‘s administration. Half a month later, he brought her designs to his
lecturer‘s office and kept pleading for his lecturer to make an exception for her, but he failed every single time.
Mason did not give up, and neither did she. Just as he began to develop feelings for her, he found out that she was
pregnant, and his heart came crashing down as well.
It was around that time when she lost all hope in life. The design institute refused to make an exception for her.
Throughout those dark times, he stood by her and watched as she struggled in the darkness of her despair, and
every time, he would reach out to pull her back up with the strength to face the world again.
