Chapter 198 “My stomach hurts... Do you have anything to eat at home?” Elliot raised his head and asked. After drinking so much alcohol tonight, his stomach, which has always sustained itself on high grade whole foods, naturally could not take it.
“Wait here. I'll cook snoodles for you.” With that, Anastasia then went to the kitchen.
Sitting on the sofa, he smiled warmly as he watched the person in the kitchen busying herself.

After ten minutes, Anastasia cout holding a bow! of noodles, of which the noodles were of low sodium. Normally, she would cook this for her son, but she now used it all to feed the man.
Walking over, Elliot ate it without hesitation. Looking at the man under the light, it was even more evident that Jared's face resembled his.
Wait! What nonsense am | thinking about? They just have similar looking features, that’s all.
While Elliot was eating the noodles, Anastasia went to clean up her room. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat upon discovering that it was already 9 PM. Goodness! | haven't even picked up my son yet! “Elliot, you'll have to leave after eating. | need to go pick Jared up,” urged Anastasia.
“I can let Rey go pick him up. It's not safe for you, going out alone late at night,” Elliot immediately replied.
“Isn't Rey's father hospitalized?” Upon realizing that fact, Elliot paused for a few seconds before stating, “I'll let my bodyguard pick him up.” Just then, Anastasia’s phone rang. Nigel's calling me? Picking it up, she said, “Hello, Nigel. I'll cpick Jared up now.” “There’s no need for that. The little rascal has already fallen asleep here. Just let him stay over at my place.” On the other end of the line, Nigel laughed, obviously happy to have the boy accompany him.
“What? Jared's already asleep? I'd hate to burden you, though.” “It's nothing. Just lettry to be his father and sleep with him for one night!” Truth was, this was exactly what Nigel wanted.

Are you done with work? Are you outside or at hright now?” “I'm at home.” “Hey, Anastasia, | found out that Jared really looks like me, and his face resembles mine exactly when | was young. Say, don’t you think this is sspecial fate between him and 1?” Nigel started to hint at her again.
While talking, Anastasia slowly made her way to the balcony. She laughed as she commented, “Jared resembles you when you were a child? How is that possible, though?” “He really does. If you don't believe me, | can send my childhood pictures for you to see. The resemblance is uncanny!” Nigel kept emphasizing.
“You don't have to. | believe you. As long as you looked good as a child, that means that my son looks handstoo!” “Are you implying that I'm handstoo?” “You always were handsome.” “You like handsguys, right? Withbeing so handsome, that means you liketoo.” Nigel laughed out happily on the other end of the line.
Anastasia, who was teased to laughter by his joke, also laughed out loud.
Yet, at that moment, the man who was still eating the noodles at the table suddenly found the food to be bland and tasteless after hearing their conversation.
Whenever this woman was with him, she would act like she was facing her mortal enemy, but when she was doing anything else with another man, she would always put on a smile and talk in a sweet voice.
Do | really not deserve to see her smile? Meanwhile, Anastasia did not want to chat anymore and told Nigel. “I'll have to trouble you then, Nigel. I'm going to take a bath now, so I'll be hanging up first ** “Alright. Remember to think about me.” “I will. I'll treat you to a meal next time.” “Alright! I'll be looking forward to it.” “Okay. Goodbye.” Anastasia then hung up after that and just enjoyed the cool breeze on the balcony when suddenly, a cold husky voice cfrom behind her. “Someone had a grand old twith Nigel!” Looking back at the man who suddenly appeared on the balcony, she raised her eyebrows. “Have you finished your noodles?” “I have.” “Then you best be going! It's getting quite late now. Oh—and I'm not going to pick Jared up tonight as he'll be sleeping over at Nigel's.” MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIIIOfiflO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
