Chapter 347 Creating an Opportunity
“Mommy, are you and Uncle Elliot getting married?” Jared immediately asked in surprise.
Anastasia hurriedly explained, “Uncle Nigel is joking, so don’t take it seriously.”
Upon hearing those words, Nigel couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and look at Elliot. It seemed like he
was asking, Dude, why haven’t you succeeded yet?
When Elliot met Nigel’s eyes, he returned with a helpless look. After all, it wasn’t as if Nigel didn’t know
that going after Anastasia would be a tough challenge.
The four of them had a good dinner. While they were still seated at the dining table, Nigel said he had left
the gift he bought at home, so he coaxed Jared into staying at his house for the night. Jared agreed to it
immediately after hearing Nigel’s words, and Anastasia couldn’t do anything to stop him.
“Jared, if you don’t behave, I’m going to be angry!” Anastasia knew very well that Nigel wanted to create
an opportunity for her and Elliot!
However, she didn’t need it at all!
“Leave Jared to me, and I will send him to school tomorrow. You don’t have to worry since I’m the most
reliable person you can think of,” said Nigel as he took Jared by the hand and ran to his car as quick as a

“Nigel… Jared, come back!” Anastasia shouted as she chased after them, but Jared giggled and ran
toward Nigel’s car. Not long after that, she watched as the man’s car pulled away and left.
At that point, Anastasia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. For one, she felt at ease with Nigel taking
care of Jared because she often entrusted her son with his care whenever she went abroad. However,
without her son by her side, what would that be like with her and Elliot?
Upon realizing the situation, Elliot appreciated Nigel’s gesture of creating an opportunity for him while
having his back.
“Come on! Let’s get in the car.” Elliot took Anastasia by the hand and strolled toward his car, wasting no
time at all.
Meanwhile, Anastasia was extremely speechless. The intimacy level she had with him had already
exceeded the limit for that day, and she had no intention of carrying on.
Once they got into the car, Elliot turned to ask her, “How about a drive?”
“Just send me home! I still have work to do.” Anastasia made an excuse so she could leave him. She
was not afraid of him, but she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to control her feelings.
“Which do you think is more important? Work, or coming with me for a drive?”
“Work, of course,” replied Anastasia. Work brought her income and gave her a sense of security, while
this man constantly put her in danger.
“Even if you perform badly the entire year, I can still give you an excellent employee award. How about a
generous bonus at the end of the year?” He smirked. As her boss, it was his right to be so unruly and
presumptuous.
At the moment, Anastasia couldn’t do anything about him. “Alright then! We’ll go for a drive!”
Upon hearing her answer, Elliot started his car and drove off along the city’s coastline. It felt relaxing as
they cruised on the highway. Anastasia hadn’t been able to enjoy the night scenery like this in a long
time. Her mood was lifted, and she felt at peace.
The bright moon shone over the sea, which was spectacular and magnificent. From a distance, it looked
like a watercolor painting.
Suddenly, Elliot drove his car down a small road. When Anastasia saw that, she couldn’t help but turn to
look at him and ask, “Where are we going?”

“Just wait here for a moment.” Elliot glanced at her and got out of the car.
Then, she watched as he walked toward a tall bush of reeds, and her face blushed immediately.
Elliot returned shortly after. Even though this man had just taken a leak, he still looked elegant and well-
dressed, and he even emitted the aura of a slick-haired douche.
Elliot stood beside the passenger side’s window, leaned down, and asked her, “What about you?”
“I’m fine…” Anastasia replied embarrassedly.
“I’ll keep a lookout for you as well,” he said with a smile.
Anastasia was red in the face. However, what was even more embarrassing was that she had drunk
several cups of tea at the restaurant, and more than half an hour had passed; when he asked that
question, she realized that she had the urge to go as well. It was awkward.
“Isn’t there a hotel or something along the way?” Anastasia looked up at him.
“As far as I know, there aren’t any within the next half an hour.”
“What? Where are we?”
“We’re on the highway to Belros. We’re going to stay there for the night.”
Upon hearing this, Anastasia was dumbfounded. Why is he taking me to another city without even telling
me about it? Damn it.
