Ch. 581..590

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 581

No matter his figure or looks, one could almost say that he was perfect.

This made some of the girls on the scene envious of Anastasia.

Besides that, Harriet also felt very proud, as her grandson was, indeed, handsome! Since he was young, he had always made her proud, especially when everybody would praise him no matter where he went.

By then, Anastasia had already come out of the waiting room and was waiting in the main hall. Even though it was only an engagement party, she was standing on the red carpet with a bouquet of roses in her hands. When the time came, the golden gates opened whilst romantic music slowly played in the background as she walked down the aisle to the man on stage.

“Wow! The bride is also very pretty!”

“She’s gorgeous!”

“They really are a pair meant for each other.”

The songs of praise all came from the old and young. Tonight, they only invited the extended families of the Presgrave Family and some important guests.

So, it could be said that they were all well acquainted with each other.

Walking step by step to the stage, Anastasia saw that the host tonight was none other than Jonathan, who was going to be the witness to their engagement.

Anastasia smiled at her future uncle before Elliot held her hand and stood beside her.

After a short speech, Jonathan congratulated them again.

“Here, we bear witness to the pair of couples, Ellipt and Anastasia, wishing them a happy life thereon after and that they never part.”

“Now, let’s have the groom put the diamond ring on the bride to signify his love. After this, we will be looking forward to the upcoming wedding.”

The gaffer immediately dimmed the lights, leaving only the lights on the stage, focusing on the pair like a beam of moonlight. This enabled everyone to see them clearly.

Elliot first put Anastasia’s diamond ring on her while his was on the tray held by a woman, which Anastasia took. Reaching out, Elliot revealed his hand with his watch sticking out.

A ray of green light hit Anastasia, who was about to put the ring on him. Attracted by the light, she forgot to put the ring on him, as she only stared at the reflection on his watch.

Under the dim lights, an emerald wolf’s head reflected itself from the watch.

The ring in her hands dropped because she was so shocked.

Elliot looked up and saw that Anastasia was stunned while sťaring at his watch to the point where it was as if she had seen something horrifying.

“What’s wrong, Anastasia?” Elliot hugged her.

The people below were anticipating the two exchanging the engagement rings when the bride dropped the ring and froze there, looking like an icicle.

All of a sudden, Anastasia turned to the gaffer and said, “Could you turn off the lights?”

A bit dumbfounded, he then immediately followed her request and switched off all the lights.

The whole venue descended into darkness. In the dark, everyone was shocked and stunned, as they all did not know what Anastasia was going to do.

Even Elliot did not know what Anastasia was thinking of.

Anastasia was fixated on the watch, as the wolf’s head reared itself clearly upon the moment the lights went out.

Covering her mouth, the overwhelming emotions nearly made her faint. Her mind went blank while the memories from five years ago appeared. Although it was a dark night, she still remembered everything.

The watch was the exact same as Elliot’s, with the rare design of a wolf’s head.

“Anastasia, what’s wrong? Are you feeling alright? Elliot’s concerned voice came as he hugged her and felt that she was trembling all over. It seemed like something terrifying had happened to her.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 582

He was wrong, though. Anastasia was not trembling because of panic; she was trembling out of shock. She led to recollect her thoughts without panicking,

Elliot had said that he recognized Haylcy i hrough a watch, and that night, it was Anastasia who threw the watch onto the floor when the man gave it to her.

The room was booked under Hayley’s name, so her phone number appeared in the registration, The staff who found the watch would naturally contact the person who booked the room, leading to the watch landing in her hands.

Elliot, who found Hayley through the list, thought that she was the woman who had a one night stand with him.

As for why Jared looked so much like him…

It was because…

The man whom she had a one night stand with was right in front of her!

Anastasia was caught in a dilemma as he was, simultaneously, the person she hated and loved the most.

This torrent of emotions washed over her, making her shudder in thought.

“Turn on the lights!” Elliot told the gaffer, since he detected that something must have happened to Anastasia to make her tremble all over.

The gaffer turned on the lights to the sight of Elliot embracing Anastasia protectively.

Buried in his chest, Anastasia took a few deep breaths before lowering her head and seeing the diamond ring on the carpet.

Gently pushing Elliot away, she bent down to pick up the ring and proceeded to put it on his finger.

“I have something to tell you.” Anastasia looked up at him, teary-eyed.

This made Elliot’s heart pang. Why is she crying all of a sudden?

The crowd below breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the bride put the ring on the groom.

“I’m sorry, but we’ll be excusing ourselves momentarily,” stated Elliot to the guests before he held Anastasia’s hand and went down the stage from the side exit.

Harriet then stood up and said, “No worries. Please, everybody, help yourselves with the food. I apologize beforehand if there’s anything inadequate.”

Originally, it was Elliot who was holding Anastasia’s hands, but once they reached the hallway, the situation turned around, as she could not wait to find a spot.

“Whai’s wrong, Anastasia? Did something happen?” Elliot was truly concerned about her

Finally, she brought him into an empty room and closed the door. Holding his hands, Anastasia stared at his watch and asked, “You said that this watch was custom made by your grandmother for you. So, that means that there is only one in this entire world, right? There won’t be another watch with the same design?”

“Yes! It’s one-of-a-kind.” Elliot nodded.

“What about the wolf’s head on the watch face? Is it something exclusive to your family?”

“This wolf’s head is an insignia my grandmother believes in, as she had the designer incorporate it on the watch’s face. I think… this should be owned only by me.” Even though Elliot was not too sure, he had never seen another watch like his before.

At this point, Anastasia suddenly remembered that this watch was not the only proof of the one night stand; there was also her darling son.

“You said that you found Hayley through this watch. Are you sure she was the woman you spent the night with back then?” Anastasia asked.

This made Elliot’s heart skip a beat. Does she still care about this? This was the only stain that he could not wipe away from his life.

“Yes,” Elliot replied gently, afraid of setting off her bad mood.

“Have you ever thought that the woman might not be Hayley and that it was actually some other woman?” Anastasia looked up at him and asked, seeming a bit angry that he was actually gentle toward Hayley before.

Stunned, Elliot could not respond.

Seeing this, Anastasia followed up with another question, “After you found Hayley, did you… have any intimate contact with her?”

Elliot shook his head firmly. “I never did that. After I found her, I did not do anything except make it up to her materialistically.”

“Why not? Was it because Hayley gave off a different feel from the woman five years ago?” Anastasia pressured him.

Shocked again, Elliot asked, “How did you know?”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 583

“Why are you deicomincd to find the woman from that incident five years ago?” Anastasia’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

Elliot did not know how to explain it to hci, but no matter what, he could not quell the urge to find her.

All of a sudden, Anastasia’s tears began to stream down her face. She covered her mouth as an overwhelmung wave of emotions washed over her.

“Anastasia, what’s wrong? Did I do something? I’m sorry.” Elliot was frantic. Despite not knowing what he could have done, he was certain that he must have done something to make her cry.

However, Anastasia’s tears flowed even harder once she heard what he said. She cried so profusely that she began to hiccup.

No one would know what she was going through right now. She finally found relief from the thoughts that had chained her down for nearly six years. The vision of that terrible beast of a man that she had concocted in her heart had changed to the man in front of her.

He was no beast!

Only the gods would know how incredibly freeing it felt to have the burden of these torturous thoughts and feelings lifted off her shoulders.

Elliot was beside himself with worry, but Anastasia threw herself into his arms and spoke with a teary voice, “Thank goodness it was you. I’m glad it was you. As long as it’s you… it’s not that bad after all.”

He pulled her into an even tighter embrace. However, he had no idea what he could do to comfort her. Her sorrow seemed to stem from somewhere deep within her soul, and he hated that he did not know her enough to understand what was happening to her.

Even though he could not make out what her words meant, he felt she really needed him.

“Anastasia, could you tell me what’s happening?” he asked as he gently stroked the back of her head.

Finally, Anastasia pushed him back a little before explaining it all to him.

“Do you think Jared looks like you?” She looked up at Elliot and asked.

“Yes. Everyone who sees him says he looks like me.” This was something that he was incredibly happy about!

“Why do you think my son would look like you?” she asked him a tricky question on purpose.

True enough, her question had stumped Elliot. He stared at her in trepidation, afraid that she might start crying again if he said something he should not have.

Anastasia decided to put him out of his misery. She raised her hand and lifted his watch. “I told

you bctore that the man who hurt me that might five years ago left me a watch, but I didnt like it and throw it away insicad.”

Elliot did recall her saying that.

“The watch I threw away was retrieved by the staff at the club. They must’ve thought the watch was too expensive to just keep to themselves, so they contacted the person who booked the room. That person took the watch and kept it in her possession. Five years later, someone came to her and asked if she was the woman in the room back then. When she realized that the man was the wealthy and powerful presideni of Presgrave Group, she readily said she was,” Anastasia recounted as if she was telling a story.

Elliot’s eyes flickered back and forth as the revelation sent waves of shock coursing through him, and his breathing grew heavier.

“It’s you. That woman from that night five years ago… It’s you, isn’t it? Anastasia? Hayley was the one who booked the room, so she had my watch and received the compensation that I owed to you instead.” Elliot was both shocked and furious, but at the same time, he was ecstatic.

“Jared’s my son. He’s my son… I’m his father!” He began to tear up as he was overwhelmed and on the verge of exploding from all the emotions that welled up inside him.

Anastasia nodded. “Yes, Jared is your son. You’re the man that slept with me that night.”

His heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. He hugged her tightly and kissed her hair as he blabbered on and on, “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry… I’m sorry. I’m the worst. I’m the b*stard who deserves to rot in hell. I’m sorry…”

She looked up at him and refuted him. “Stop saying such nonsense.”

All at once, Elliot lowered his head and began to kiss her ferventy.

Anastasia nearly suffocated from the ferocity of his kiss. I thought he was in the middle of an apology, so why is he kissing me instead?

She had not forgotten about setting the score with him for what he did five years ago!

Elliot was breathing a little heavily as he stared at her with loving eyes. “I’m sorry. I owe you too much, and I won’t be able to pay it all back even if I spent this lifetime, and the next, and every

single one after that doing so.”

Anastasia blinked at lim. “You can take your time to make it up to me.”

No one know what shie was thinking inside.

If it were fated that she could not escape the trap Hayley had set up for her, then she would rather in belum than some other random guy.

Fate had caused her a lot of pain and sorrow, but it had now given her a chance to set the record straight, and true love as well.

“Grandma told me that this watch was my good luck charm. It turns out I had been wrong about it. It truly is my good luck charm.” Elliot meant every word he said.

When Anastasia recalled what Hayley had done, she gritted her teeth in contempt. “Don’t let Hayley get away with this. I want her to pay for what she did.”

Elliot was just as furious as she was. He clenched his fists and declared, “I will make her pay heavily for everything.”

Anastasia looked up and suggested, “Run a DNA test with Jared to confirm it.”

“Why would I need one? Jared is my son.” Elliot did not feel a speck of doubt at all about this. He had long since felt an inexplicable connection with Jared.

From the moment he first met Jared, he had a feeling that they were related.

“Jared will be very happy to know that you’re truly his father.”

Elliot grasped her hand and asked, “Can I break the news to all the guests today? The fact that Elliot is my son.”

Anastasia saw the impatience in his eyes and thought to herself, Why not?

Tonight was not just their engagement ceremony, but also the moment when the father and son duo would formally reunite with one another.

Meanwhile, at the ceremony, the couple in question had disappeared without a trace, and Harriet could barely take a few bites. She was sorely worried that Anastasia would scoff at Elliot and refuse to marry him again.

Nigel had been tasked to take care of Jared. Jared tried looking for Anastasia a couple of times, but Nigel stopped him. He thought to himself, I better not let this kid go looking for them. What if he walked into something that’s not meant for kids to see? Therefore, he did his best to coax Jared. He even used the ulumate trump card–the mobile games on his phone to keep Jared happy.

Brenda approached the main table.

“Mom, these are all your favorites. You should eat more,” Brenda tried to convince Harriet.

“Why aren’t they back you?” Harriet asked.

“They probably wcut off to discuss something. Relax, Mom,” Brenda reassured her just then, she spoiled the couple walking into the hall hand-in-hand, so she chuckled and said, “There they are now.”

Truc enough, the newly-engaged couple who had run ofl carlier came back with their hands caped together.

Elliot led Anastasia up the stage before calling out in the direction of the main table, “Jared, come here.”

The little kid happily leaped out of his seat beside Nigel and went up the stage. Elliot bent down and carried him.

As Anastasia stared at them, her eyes were filled with content. Her son’s father was not some

heir of the Presgraves.

Elliot took the microphone and gazed out at the attendees who were all staring at him. He had a hard time suppressing his excitement and he announced, “I just received some wonderful news. It turns out that Jared is my son. He’s the son that Anastasia and I had five years ago, and I am truly his father. We are family through and through.”

“What?! Is that true?!” Harriet was the first to stand up in surprise.

“I’ve always said that Jared and Elliot looked like father and son,” Brenda commented.

Nigel was floored. He had been curious to know who fathered such a cute child with Anastasia five years ago, and now it turned out that he had to credit his cousin’s genes for it?

It was no wonder that Elliot had defeated him in the battle for Anastasia’s love. Elliot’s son had been right beside Anastasia all along!

Sull, Nigel was genuinely happy for his cousin that Jared belonged to their family.

Francis had frozen in shock at the news. His grandson was now the young heir of the Presgraves. This news took him by surprise.

“I knew it! I always said that Jared looked just like Elliot when he was a kid, so this is why… He’s indeed my great-grandson!” Harriet was on the verge of fainting from all the excitement she felt, and Brenda swiftly held onto her. “Mom, don’t get too excited! Remember your weak heart!”

“It’s fine. I’m fine. I can take it. It turns out that my great-grandson had come to us a long time ago. Jared is the Presgrave family’s great-grandson!” Harriet cupped her mouth with her hands as tears of joy trickled down her cheeks. .

Anastasia blinked at him. “You can take your time to make it up to me.”

No one knew what she was thinking inside.

If it were fated that she could not escape the trap Hayley had set up for her, then she would rather it be him than some other random guy.

“Why aren’t they back yet?” Harriet asked.

“They probably went off to discuss something. Relax, Mom, Brenda reassured her. Just then, she spotted the couple walking into the hall hand-in hand, so she chuckled and said, “There they are now.

True enough, the newly-engaged couple who had run off earlier came back with their hands clasped together.

Elliot led Anastasia up the stage before calling out in the direction of the main table, “Jared, come here.”

The little kid happily leaped out of his seat beside Nigel and went up the stage. Elliot bent down and carried him.

As Anastasia stared at them, her eyes were filled with content. Her son’s father was not some unknown gigolo. The Presgrave family blood flowed through his veins, and he was the rightful heir of the Presgraves.

Elliot took the microphone and gazed out at the attendees who were all staring at him. He had a hard time suppressing his excitement and he announced, “I just received some wonderful news. It turns out that Jared is my son. He’s the son that Anastasia and I had five years ago, and I am truly his father. We are family through and through.”

“What?! Is that true?!” Harriet was the first to stand up in surprise.

It was no wonder that Elliot had defeated. him in the battle for Anastasia’s love. Elliot’s son had been right beside Anastasia all along!

Still, Nigel was genuinely happy for his cousin that Jared belonged to their family.

Francis had frozen in shock at the news. His grandson was now the young heir of the Presgraves. This news took him by surprise.

“I knew it! I always said that Jared looked just like Elliot when he was a kid, so this is why… He’s indeed my great-grandson!”

“It’s fine. I’m fine. I can take it. It turns out that my great-grandson had come to us a long time ago. Jared is the Presgrave family’s great-grandson!” Harriet cupped her mouth with her hands as tears of joy trickled down her cheeks.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 585

Anastasia took the microphone from Elliot. “Elliot and I met five years ago, and while it was only a fleeting moment back then, we are happy that our paths have crossed again. I hope that everyone will celebrate the reunion of our family of three and wish us well.”

Elliot had a look of gratitude and commitment. Anastasia’s words had masked the mistake he made five years ago and said that they had been briefly acquainted.

She protected his dignity.

Elliot swore to love her for all eternity.

“Are you really my daddy?” Jared had not wrapped his head around this yet.

Elliot kissed Jared on the forehead and said with absolute certainty, “Yes, I am. Say ‘Daddy.”

“Daddy!” Jared exclaimed happily before hugging him by the neck.

The word “Daddy” rang out loud and clear.

Elliot’s eyes teared up again as he stared at his son with indescribable joy. He wrapped his hand behind Jared’s head and pulled him close to rest their foreheads together. He then twirled him around on stage before finally planting another kiss on Jared’s head.

Beneath the stage, Harriet had also welled up with happy tears and was now a crying mess. Nigel and Brenda both stood beside her in fear that her overexcitement might trigger her high blood pressure.

This news was the icing on the cake at the engagement ceremony.

Anastasia thought about what Hayley had screamed at her back then. She said there was a secret she would bring with her to the grave.

Anastasia knew what the secret was now. Hayley was probably referring to Jared’s . true lineage.

She had a bout of belated fear as she wondered what would have happened if she had not found out about this secret. Her son may never have been able to reunite with his father.

It would be one of the world’s greatest tragedies if the father and son had run into each other but never got to know the truth.

Thankfully, fate did not choose to do this to them, and she did find out the truth..

That deplorable woman, Hayley Seymour, would pay for this!

After getting off the stage, Elliot brought. Jared to a lounge backstage. He was beating himself up for finding the wrong person a year ago. This meant that he had delayed reuniting with his son for an entire year, and his son even called him. mister.

I’m sorry, Jared. Daddy was too stupid that he didn’t recognize you.’ Elliot was guilt ridden.

“Daddy, you’ve been very good to me!” Jared shook his head and wisely consoled

Elliot. He finally realized why he felt oddly close to Elliot from the first moment he met him.

Anastasia took one look at her son and the tears she had fought back all this time finally broke free. This was the best news she could ever receive. All along, she did not have the guts to tell her son who his father was as she was afraid that he might look down on himself for it. She rued the fact that Hayley had invented the story of a gigolo to trick her. Due to this, she had never felt suspicious about the possibility that Jared and Elliot might be related.

This explained why Hayley had destroyed all of Abyss Club’s stored data. She was trying to hide the truth so that she could take Anastasia’s place and enjoy the material benefits that Elliot provided as compensation.

Hayley was far too greedy. Not only did she enjoy such material benefits, but she also had her eyes set on becoming the young mistress of the Presgrave family. This was why she kept trying to come between Anastasia and Elliot.

However, the world worked in mysterious

ways and fate had brought Anastasia back to Elliot’s side. This was Hayley’s worst fear, and it made her go to extreme lengths to try and become Elliot’s wife. She was even willing to put Harriet in danger so that she could throw Anastasia under the bus for it.

In the end, Hayley paid for her heinous behavior. Elliot stopped his provision to her and he took back the watch she had kept.

This watch was the catalyst that led to the truth coming to light.

“From now on, Daddy will do everything it takes to make it up to you.” Elliot would serve the world up on a silver platter if Jared asked him to.

Anastasia knew that Elliot was overcome with emotion from finally reuniting with Jared. She sat down beside him and said, “As long as the three of us get to live happily ever after together, nothing else matters.”

“Mommy, does this mean you’ll be giving me a younger brother or sister?” Jared’s pleading began in earnest once again.

Meanwhile, Elliot finally knew why he could never get the feeling he felt five years ago when he was with Hayley. It turned out that the woman he felt guilty toward was not Hayley after all, but Anastasia.

“I’m sorry.” Elliot looked Anastasia in the eye and apologized once more for his frenzied state five years ago.

The man who traumatized her turned out to be him. He did not recall much about that night five years ago as he had lost all his senses. All he could remember was her quiet sobbing and helpless pleas for mercy.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 586

Her sobbing and pleading had etched a deep sense of guilt and heartache into his soul despite the fact that he barely had his wits about him at that time. This was why he had spent five years looking for the woman he had spent that night with.

Elliot never would have thought that even though he was foolish enough to find the wrong person, fate had delivered the right one to his doorstep and even brought his son back to him. He was thankful that he had done a good job protecting Anastasia and Jared throughout the past year.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Nigel peered into the room and said, “Grandma is eager to reunite with Jared too. I’ll bring him over to her first.”

“Jared, go and meet your great-grandma!” Elliot said as he stroked Jared’s head.

“Okay!” Jared was still a little boy and he had no clue about the magnitude of today’s events.

Once Nigel led Jared out of the room, Elliot’s eyes grew cold and menacing. There was a murderous glint in them.

“I’m going to make Hayley suffer for this.”

Meanwhile, Anastasia managed to keep her cool. She comforted him by saying, “There’s no rush. We should be celebrating today. Let’s not waste any more time on her.”

Elliot held her hand gently and raised it to his lips. “It’s you. The woman I’ve been looking for all this time is you.”

Anastasia held his other hand and gazed at the watch around his wrist. “You should thank this instead! If it weren’t for this watch, you and Jared would never have reunited.”

Elliot stared at the watch. It was a cold and lifeless object, but to him, it seemed to come alive and give off a warm aura.

“Yeah. From today onward, I’m keeping it on me every day” Elliot’s lips curved into a smile as he reached out to pull her close. Anastasia leaned into his arms and closed her eyes.

was

She had never felt at peace the way she did right now. She was no longer troubled by her son’s biological lineage.

At half past nine at night, Harriet’s blood pressure soared from all her excitement, and several doctors from Presgrave Hospital kept watch just in case.

Eleven o’clock at night, at Elliot’s hillside villa.

Elliot helped Jared with his bath. The little kid had tired himself out today, and he fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow. Elliot sat on the edge of the bed and remained transfixed as he

stared at Jared’s face.

He did not even notice Anastasia, who had been standing at the doorway for a long time now.

o sta

Anastasia smiled. It seemed like Elliot would not be getting any sleep tonight. He was too thrilled to find out about Jared’s identity.

She needed time to digest this new development too. Elliot turned out to be the man from that night!

Finally, Elliot sensed her presence behind him. He bent down to kiss Jared gently on the forehead and tucked the covers more securely around him before heading out of the room. He closed the door behind him and grabbed Anastasia’s hand.

He pulled Anastasia toward his master bedroom. Both of them were filled to the brim with things they wanted to say to each other.

In the end, Elliot brought her to the living room on the second floor, and under the warm glow of the light, his sparkling eyes looked a little red as they filled with guilt and self-blame once more. Anastasia raised her hand to push his hair away from his eyes.

“It’s alright. Stop blaming yourself. I know that it was an accident five years ago.” Although he had compensated the wrong person at first, it proved that he had always been willing to take responsibility for what happened that night, and she saw how he held himself accountable for everything

Elliot pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. “I’m sorry, I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you and Jared.”

“Okay!”

There was no way to describe the guilt that Elliot was feeling as there was no way he could make up for all the hurt he had caused Anastasia.

· “I want to see Hayley tomorrow,” Anastasia looked up at him and said. She wanted to be the one

who informed Hayley about this so that she could see the look on Hayley’s face.

“I won’t let her get away with this.” There were countless ways that Elliot could make Hayley face the consequences of her actions.

Anastasia had decided to sleep in the master bedroom tonight. A while later, when Elliot came out of the shower and saw the woman playing with her phone while lying on his bed, his eyes filled with desire, but at the same time, he tried his best to cull it.

He did not want to do anything that would hurt her. He would only do what she was willing to do,

“It’s a little cold today. I want to fall asleep in your arms.” Anastasia gave her excuse. In any case, she was his fiancée now, so it would not be an issue if she slept with him!

Elliot climbed under the covers and opened his arms to let her slide into his embrace. Anastasia nudged herself across the bed and into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his muscular waist and felt the vigorous beating of his heart.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 587

This turned out to be the best way to sleep. Anastasia immediately began to feel drowsy, and when Elliot heard her even breaths, his heart settled down as well.

That night, they fell asleep in each other’s arms and felt a kind of peace they never felt before. The next morning.

As soon as Anastasia opened her eyes, she saw a pair of beguiling eyes, the owner of which was staring at her for who knew how long. She instantly turned red and buried her head into his arms, sticking close to him as she said petulantly, “Stop staring at how ugly I look right now.”

Elliot chuckled in amusement. “Who are you calling ugly? I’ve been staring for one hour and I didn’t see any trace of ugliness.”

Anastasia flushed a deeper shade of red. He’s been staring at me for one whole hour? Oh dear.

“Not ugly at all. On the contrary, you’re gorgeous” Elliot announced soothingly as he held her in his arms.

Anastasia laughed and looked up at him with feigned dissatisfaction. The morning rays shone in

sun, and his features came to life. He was the image of perfection with his sharp brows, deep eyes, tall nose, and luscious lips. It was almost as if he were a masterpiece sculpted by the best artist in the world.

She was positively drowning from how enthralling he was. This made her despise Hayley even more for taking her place and being the one who possessed such a gentle and caring man for so long. The more she thought about it, the more disgruntled she became.

The first time she had met him, it was after her fight with Hayley, and he had lovingly carried Hayley away in his arms. All of a sudden, she sat straight up in bed and growled, “I want to see Hayley right now and let her know the horrors she’ll be facing in her very near future.”

Elliot pulled her back down. “I’ll drive you over after breakfast.”

“Fine, but I want to confront her myself.” Anastasia could not wait to see the look on Hayley’s face.

As soon as they finished breakfast, they heard from Harriet who was eagerly waiting to spend the day with Jared. She would leap at the opportunity to keep Jared by her side forever.

Elliot first made a stop at Presgrave Residence to drop Jared off before driving Anastasia to the detention center.

Anastasia had gotten all dressed up for the occasion. She never cared about her appearance in the past, but she felt the need to look immaculate when she met Hayley.

When Hayley heard that someone had come to the detention center to see her, she felt a mix of joy and surprise. She assumed that it was her parents since they were the only ones who would come and see her now.

However, when she saw the person walking in through the door, her expression darkened at once. Was Anastasia here to mock her?

“Why did you come here?” Hayley loathed Anastasia with every fiber of her being.

Anastasia leisurely pulled out a chair and sat down. She dazzled like a diamond with her poise and refined aura. Her makeup brought out the best in her features, while her tan coat, white lace dress, and elegant jewelry all added to her captivating looks.

“Hayley, do you know how much I hate you?” Anastasia’s fists were tightly clenched. If this was not a detention center, she would have slapped Hayley across both cheeks.

“Hahaha! You hate me? What gives you the right to hate me?” Hayley sneered. Despite her downfall, she was unwilling to be the brunt of Anastasia’s mockery.

“I found out about the secret you mentioned last time,” Anastasia declared with slightly raised brows.

Hayley felt a jolt down her spine. She shook her head vehemently. “That’s impossible. There’s no way you’d find out about this. You don’t even know what I was referring to. You’re just trying to fool me.”

“Jared is Elliot’s son. Five years ago, the person I slept with that night wasn’t the man you arranged, but Elliot instead. Am I right?” Anastasia retorted coolly.

Hayley’s heart dropped and her eyes widened in shock. “How did you know? Who told you? Who?!”

“It was a sign from heaven. I realized the truth about that night right as Elliot and I got engaged.

As for you, just sit tight and wait to face the music in court! You’re going to spend your life in

· prison for swindling 750,000 from me and 4.5 million from Elliot!” Anastasia talked about it like

she was just describing the weather, but to Hayley, she was confronted with the knowledge that she would be spending the rest of her life behind bars.

Hayley felt like she had been struck by lightning. She took a deep breath and grabbed the metal grills in front of her. “Anastasia, Anastasia, we’ve been good friends since we were kids, right? Don’t treat me like this. Save me! Don’t make me spend the rest of my life in prison. Anastasia… I know I made a mistake. I know what I did was wrong. Please…”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 588

Hayley was beset with such fear that tears had begun streaming down her face. The consequences of what she had done finally dawned on her as she realized the price she had to pay for her mistakes.

She should have just accepted that boutique and lived out her life in peace. She could have found a man to marry and start a family.

That would be a thousand times better than rotting away in prison!

Anastasia remained expressionless as she stared at the tortured look on Hayley’s face.

“Anastasia, can’t you understand me? When Elliot came to me back then, he was so rich and handsoine. I had never met such a wealthy man before, so it was only natural that I took your place. You know that I’m scared of living in poverty. My parents heavily favor sons over daughters, and I’ve never lived a good day in my life,” Hayley cried out as tears continued flowing down her cheeks. Her eyes were filled with anger and hatred.

Anastasia could tell that Hayley was no longer putting on an act. She was truly regretting what she had done, but it was too late now.

“It’s too late for regrets. Everyone needs to pay the price for their mistakes.” Anastasia stood up in distaste as she did not want to look at Hayley any longer.

“Anastasia, please! Ask Elliot to drop the charges against me, won’t you? Please don’t go after me!” Hayley wailed in despair as her hands clenched around the metal grills.

“He hates you even more than I do,” Anastasia turned around and added.

Hayley knew that already. Elliot probably hated her enough to kill her with his own hands. She had usurped Anastasia’s identity and enjoyed the luxuries he showered her, along with his care and concern.

Those were the happiest days of Hayley’s life. She was an ordinary woman who led such an ordinary life. Had it not been for this miraculous chance that fell into her lap, she would never have crossed paths with a man like Elliot.

“Anastasia, if you were in my shoes and Elliot approached you and offered to compensate you with anything you wanted, would you have been able to reject him? I don’t believe that you wouldn’t be swayed by the possibility of having everything you want in life!” Hayley shrieked.

Anastasia paused in her footsteps. She gave this question some serious consideration before turning back to say, “I’m not you. None of our decisions would’ve been the same.”

“You’re lying! If our places were switched, you’d share the same fate as me! Anastasia Tillman, don’t think you’re so high and mighty! You won’t be happy either! Would you be able to hold onto a man as distinguished as Elliot? Some other woman will come along and steal him away from you!” Hayley screamed in fury.

“You won’t ever know how blissful my life will be, and you won’t have the chance to find out either.”

Anastasia did not want to ever spend another second in Hayley’s presence.

Once she left Havley slumped down on the floor. All her energy drained out of her as her face was covered in tears of agony, rage, and regret. The moment Anastasia stepped out of the detention center, the warm, spring sunlight hit her right in the face, and she took a deep breath. Meanwhile, there was a man waiting for her outside the first car in the parking lot.

He stood tall and proud with an air of refinement. Amid the hustle and bustle of a busy world, he seemed to only have eyes for her. There were such loving and adoring eyes too.

As Anastasia walked toward him, her heart was bursting with sweet and tender joy. She seemed to have a halo around her, and her steps were so light that she practically flew into his arms. He caught her like it was the most natural thing in the world to do.

She looked up at him as his large hand gently caressed her hair. He looked down and planted a kiss on her forehead.

“Let’s go home!” Anastasia had avenged herself. This was only the start of Hayley’s downfall. She would be paying the price for her deplorable actions for the rest of her life.

There was no reason for Anastasia to continue wasting her energy on hating a woman like that. Instead, the rest of her life would be spent showering Elliot and Jared with love, along with her family members as well.

Elliot drove her back, and along the way, they passed by a flower shop. He stopped the car and went in.

Anastasia watched him from the window. A man like him would stand out among the crowd no matter where he went!

She saw the ladies in the flower shop greeting him enthusiastically and covering their mouths in amazement behind his back. They probably never thought that they would see a man as breathtaking as him so early in the morning.

DIC

Meanwhile, from her seat in the car, Anastasia gloated gleefully.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 589

That man was hers. Elliot came out holding a bouquet of red roses. He was wearing a thin black trench coat, and he walked toward her, as if he was Prince Charming going up to his Cinderella. He handed the bouquet to her, and she took it from him. She could see that the florist’s employees were watching them, looking a little envious.

Anastasia took a whiff of the roses. It smelled seductively intoxicating, and it delighted her. Wow. Didn’t think he’d be this romantic,

“Come with me. We’ll take Jared home later and have dinner together.” Elliot had arranged everything for the day.

Anastasia nodded. “Sure!” She was happy as long as he was around, no matter where they were.

She was in Presgrave Corporation’s president’s office. The assistant was serving her cookies and coffee, not daring to slight her. She knew the rumors as well. It was said that her boss had been courting a woman for a long time. She was his beloved, and no one was more important than she was to him. That woman was Anastasia, a famous designer who used to work for Bourgeois.

Anastasia was sitting on the couch in front of the French window. She sipped the coffee and flipped through some magazines. It was a relaxing time, and she was looking forward to the rest of the day. She was engrossed in the magazines, until someone held her shoulders behind her.

She turned around, and there Elliot was, straight out of his meeting.

“Done with your meeting?” She looked up.

He stared at her and leaned in for a kiss. “Yes.” She indulged in that kiss, and he went even deeper. It was gentle, but also firm. She was embarrassed, but she enjoyed it nonetheless, though they were in an awkward position.

She pushed him away when someone knocked on the door.

Elliot said in frustration, “Come in.”

Rey came in, but when he saw the both of them inside, he smiled. “I’ll come back in a moment, sir.”

“No need. Make it quick.” Elliot frowned.

“You need to sign this document. It’s urgent.” Rey went over and handed the file to him. Elliot scanned and signed it in just a moment. “I don’t want anyone disturbing me for half an hour.”

“Yes, sir.” Rey left the office right away.

Anastasia blushed and she gave him a look. “Don’t push your work aside just for me.”

“You’re more important than any work.”

She smiled. “No can do. You gotta work to provide for me and Jared.”

“Of course” Elliot went to his desk and took his wallet out, then he gave her a few credit cards. “Here, honey. I have more if you need it.”

She chuckled and shook her head. “I have more than enough now.”

He said, “From now on, I’ll put everything I have under your name, including this company.”

A shocked Anastasia waved her hands. “No. I don’t want that pressure. I’m fine just being your wife.”

Okay then. Elliot was silent. “I see. But I’ll give you anything you want as long as I have it,” he promised her.

She trusted him, of course. As she got up, she wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at him. “All I want is you.”

He looked down at her, his eyes glinting with some sort of desire. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace. “Can we do it?” He sounded almost like he was begging, as if he had been waiting for her.

He desired her, but he could never do it unless she agreed to it. He would never overstep.

She blinked at him a few times and whispered, “You’ll have to get Jared to stay at Presgrave Residence then.”

Elliot was overjoyed, and he laughed. “I’ll call Jared right away.”

He released and called the Presgrave Residence’s number right away.

“Hi, Daddy,” Jared said.

“Your mother and I have something to do tonight, son. Can you stay at the residence with your great-grandma?”

“No. I want to be with you guys,” Jared refused.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 590

*Be a dear and just stay there, alright? I’ll get you la present tomorrow.”

“But I wanna go home.”

“Two presents!”

“But great-grandma has bought me a ton of presents, and I haven’t even opened them yet. I don’t want any more presents.” Jared was spoiled rotten. Presents could not interest him anymore.

Elliot was getting a headache. Jared was usually a smart boy, but he just had to act differently when it mattered most. Anastasia was holding her laugh back. She knew he was having trouble with Jared. “What would you like then? I’ll give you anything you want.” Elliot tried to get him to agree.

“I wanna sleep in the same room as you.”

Elliot looked back and saw Anastasia laughing. I can handle this. He then asked, “Jared, do you want a sibling?”

“Yes, of course!” Jared said, delighted.

“Then you’ll have to stay with great-grandma tonight, or I can take you to Nigel’s place, alright?”

“Sure! I wanna go to Uncle Nigel’s place!” Jared requested.

Elliot was delighted. Done. “I’ll get Nigel to pick you up then.” He hung up and called Nigel. This was probably the most proactive he had been in a while.

“Sup, Elliot?”

“I need you to pick Jared up from the residence later. He’ll be staying at your place.”

“I can’t. My flight is scheduled for three.” Nigel had something to do.

“Can’t you put it off for a day?”

“I booked the ticket already.” Nigel laughed. He knew why Elliot wanted Jared to stay with him.

“Cancel it. I’ll pay for all your damages,” he whispered the last part.

OUT

“What’s the hurry, Elliot? Are you doing anything?”

“You know why.” Elliot gritted his teeth.

Nigel roared in laughter, and he ‘begrudgingly’ said, “Fine. Bui I’ll need to use your private jet tomorrow. I’ll take care of your kid if you let me use it.”

“You can use it for as long as you like.” Elliot was paying a heavy price for a fun night. He finally settled everything, and when he turned around, Aulastasia was covering her laugh behind her hand. He squinted at her, as if he was a beast staring at its prey. “You aren’t going anywhere

tonight, the look in his eyes said.

Anastasia kept smiling, and eventually, she turned red with embarrassment. He sat beside her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, then played with her earlobe and slowly closed in

She could feel his warm breath on her cheek. “It’s just you and me tonight.”

Anastasia got even redder, and her heart raced. She averted her gaze from him. It was like she would have a heart attack if she looked at him for a moment longer. Fortunately, a meeting distracted him from her, and she enjoyed a nice afternoon tea in his office.

He took her and left the building after that meeting. Elliot did not want anyone to interrupt their night, so he would make dinner himself. He took her to a mall to buy what they needed. Shopping was relaxing, and Anastasia was looking forward to the dinner, so she decided to buy some scented candles the moment she saw them!

She bought more than a dozen of them. Elliot would be cooking dinner himself. He never did any chores before this, but now, he knew how to make great food. They bought a lot of stuff, but when he took her to the condom counter, she blushed. She saw a few gentlemen taking their picks as well, and she averted her gaze. Hey, you could have just picked one yourself!

Elliot was scanning the brands and fiddled with the one he was holding. She thought he would leave after she bought the stuff, but he was still staring at it.
