Chapter 220 She Hates Him Because She Hates Hayley
Daniel came up in two shakes, and when he saw Hayley chugging liquor, he snatched the glass from her. “Don’t drink like this, Miss Seymour. You’ll get sick.”
“Daniel.” Hayley got up and hugged him. She seriously needed a man and she didn’t want to give herself a hard time, even if she couldn’t have Elliot to herself.
His body stiffened at her contact. He tried to push her away, but she had a tight grip around his neck. “Don’t leave me too, Daniel. Hug me.”
Daniel obliged half-heartedly. Though Hayley knew she was leaning against Daniel, she couldn’t stop thinking about Elliot. With that, she closed her eyes and consoled herself by thinking she was hugging Elliot.
Meanwhile, at Anastasia’s home. Jared waited in his room for Elliot to arrive after making a sneaky call to him. Meanwhile, Anastasia was busy with house chores and it was already around 8.00PM by the time she was done with their laundry.
Just as she was about to return to her room to continue working, the doorbell rang.
Hmm? Who could it be at this hour?
With that, she walked to the door and found Elliot standing outside through the peephole.
She was surprised he would still come. Isn’t he supposed to be on a date with Hayley? What the hell is he doing here?!
The doorbell rang again, and she knew he wasn’t going to leave anytime soon. Hence, she opened the door with frustration and pulled a grim face. “It’s already late at night. What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to play with Jared.”
“Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll play with my son. Please leave,” Anastasia said indifferently.
However, the little one ran out from behind her at that moment. “You’re here, Mr. Presgrave. Let’s play downstairs.”
Anastasia stared at her son as she watched him dashing out the door to hold Elliot’s hand and say, “I didn’t expect you to come so soon, Mr. Presgrave!”
She was once again rendered speechless. Had her son called Elliot to come over?
“Mommy, please don’t be mad at Mr. Presgrave. I called and asked him to come to play with me.” Jared looked back at his mother.
Apart from speechlessness, she was now troubled as well. With that, she reprimanded, “Jared, who said you could bother him as you please? I’ve told you before that he’s a very busy man. He doesn’t have the time to play with you. Why can’t you listen?”
It was rare for Anastasia to get upset over her son, but right then, she was truly pissed. She thought her son was being inconsiderate by calling Elliot over when he was on a date with Hayley.
“I’m sorry, Mommy.” Jared drooped his head and apologized when he realized he had angered his mother.
It was Elliot’s first time seeing Anastasia reprimanding the little one, and with that, he carried Jared up and looked at the little fellow with distress before turning to Anastasia. “I have the time. I’m more than happy to play with Jared, so please don’t scold him anymore.”
Anastasia didn’t want to scold her son either, but she was in a bad mood that day, and she didn’t want to have any more to do with Elliot either. So, she wished Jared would stop being attached to Elliot and stay away from him even more so.
“Jared, come back inside and let Mr. Presgrave go home.” With that, she came out and reached out with her hands to carry Jared, who immediately leaned toward her.
On the other hand, Elliot was actually afraid of Anastasia at this moment. He was worried that he had hurt her with his words or disturb her, and she’d even hate him.
He just learned from Hayley how Anastasia got hurt, how she conceived and birthed the child of the man who defiled her, and how she was chased out of her own home. It was only normal for Anastasia to repulse men when she had been through all she had.
With that, he tried to explain, saying, “Anastasia, I mean no harm. I—”
“No need to explain, President Presgrave. I know you have a date with Hayley. I’m sorry that my son has bothered you guys.” Anastasia looked plainly at Elliot as she carried her son in her arms.
Elliot’s breathing stopped for a split second after she finished speaking and he frowned. “How did you know I was having dinner with Hayley?”
However, Anastasia didn’t want to talk. Just the thought of him exhibiting his excellence on top of Hayley and fulfilling his biological imperative had Anastasia thinking the air around him was suffocating.
As she hated Hayley, she hated him as well. She wanted nothing to do with anyone or anything related to Hayley.
