The Girl Bumped to Him Is Pregnant novel (Anastasia)

Chapter 177

With that, Anastasia turned to Elliot and casually commented, “Thanks for the kind offer, President Presgrave.”

However, Nigel hurriedly got up from his seat and offered, “Anastasia, I can give you a ride.”

At that point, Anastasia quickly turned around. “Nigel, do stay on and finish the meal with your grandmother. I’ll catch a ride with President Presgrave as we’re heading in the same direction anyway.”

After that, Nigel could only watch helplessly as the two of them left together, and he couldn’t contain the desolateness that rose up within him. Is Anastasia interested in Elliot?

Upon entering the elevator, Anastasia keenly sensed that the man next to her was in a horrible mood. Elliot had a dark expression on his face and it was as if he had suffered a huge loss in his business. Instantly, she became quite reluctant to catch a ride with him so as soon as the doors to the elevator slid open with a ping’, she turned to him and immediately said, “President Presgrave, thanks for your offer but I’ll just catch a cab.”

“Why?” Elliot shot her a look.

Why?! It’s because you’re obviously in a bad mood so I’d better avoid courting trouble!

“It’s not a big deal. I just want to catch a cab;” Anastasia lifted her head and replied before quickly walking off in the direction of the street. Suddenly, a large palm reached out and possessively grabbed hold of her wrist before dragging her to the direction of a car. Elliot pulled open the door to the front passenger seat and gestured for her to get into his car.

Meanwhile, Anastasia frowned. This guy is too domineering! Can’t I go back by myself without catching a ride with him?!

In the end, Anastasia ended up getting into the car and Elliot entered the driver’s seat too. Subsequently, the black car drove off and merged slowly into the traffic.

Anastasia was quite perplexed as to why Elliot suddenly lost his temper but despite racking her brain for the reason, she couldn’t quite figure it out. He was an unfathomable individual and his emotions were quite unpredictable most of the time.

All of a sudden, Elliot’s low, interrogating voice rang out. “You mentioned earlier that you intend to remain single for the rest of your life. Are you serious about that?”

At that point, Anastasia was stunned and she turned her head to stare at his handsome side profile. Similarly, he turned his head too and shot a look at her.

“Of course I’m being serious! I have no intention of getting married anyway.” Anastasia wasn’t accustomed to telling lies and she was quite happy and content with the life she had with her son right now, so she found it pointless to add trouble to her peaceful life.

Getting married didn’t necessarily guarantee a blessed life and likewise, remaining single didn’t mean that one’s life would definitely be an unhappy one.

“If Jared also likes the guy who pursues you, then would you still maintain your stance of not getting married?” Elliot continued to direct questions at her. Coincidentally, their car came to a stop in front of the traffic light, so he kept his piercing eyes on her.

Instantly, Anastasia realized that the person Elliot was referring to was himself.

She gulped and turned her head in the other direction to look out of the window. At the same time, she shook her head firmly. “I don’t plan to get married. I plan to raise Jared by myself.”

Suddenly, Elliot felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart upon hearing her words. She knows that I’m referring to myself and yet, she still insists on giving such a ruthless reply.

“Anastasia, could you consider things from another person’s point of view? Don’t keep hiding in your own world and avoid another’s feelings.” Elliot spoke through gritted teeth as he directed his deep eyes at her. He seemed to be extremely angry at the moment.

Meanwhile, Anastasia turned her head to look at him. His current expression was exceptionally forbidding and his gaze was full of frustration.

“Elliot, you don’t even know what I’ve been through and you don’t know me at all, so don’t you dare jump to conclusions about me!” Anastasia was also slightly angered at that point and after finishing her sentence, she remained quite annoyed so she continued on her tirade, “I told you this before. I don’t need you to repay me for anything, so could you please suppress your feelings for me? Nothing will come out of this relationship. Stop the car. I want to get out of the car.”

Meanwhile, Elliot, who was holding onto the steering wheel, evidently tightened his

Tip. There had never been any woman who could easily trigger his anger with just a few mere sentences.

However, he didn’t pull over. He continued to keep his eyes on the road and his anger suddenly dissipated as he calmly responded, “I’ll send you back to the office.”

At that point, Anastasia was stunned so she turned to look at him, who was currently busy driving by her side. She could feel the coldness and the distant feeling that came from within him, and she

thought, Have I gone too far with my earlier sentence?

“Elliot, why don’t you tell me about you and Hayley? I would like to know more.” Anastasia tried to change the topic.

However, unexpectedly, she had hit a sore spot and this was a topic he had no intention of bringing up, so he coldly responded, “I don’t want to talk about it.”

In the end, Anastasia had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. She found Elliot quite unpredictable indeed.
