The Girl Bumped to Him Is Pregnant novel (Anastasia)

Chapter 181

“Mommy, I’ll behave myself at home. You can go.” The little guy meekly nodded. He disliked Erica as well, because he was able to feel her ill will toward him although he was but a little boy.

Therefore, he chose to not tag along to prevent causing trouble for his mother. However, instead of having Grace to keep him company on that night like how Anastasia had suggested, Jared thought that Elliot might be a better candidate for the task.

Anastasia went to the office after dropping her son off. She barely sat for a few minutes on her seat before Grace knocked on her door and pushed it open, inviting a flower delivery man to come in. “This is Miss Tillman. Please send the flowers in!”

The bouquet of blue roses stunned Anastasia for a few seconds. Who sent this?

“Miss Tillman, here’s your flowers. Do sign and acknowledge it.”

And so, Anastasia signed the paper. Then, she reached out for the card in the bouquet and flipped it open. Instead of finding romantic words, she found a domineering order written on it. Do not give the flowers away. Yours sincerely, Presgrave.

Anastasia was rendered speechless. Why did he send me flowers again? He even prohibits me from giving it away.

“Miss Tillman, the flowers are gorgeous. They are obviously imported ones!” Grace came over to admire the flowers. .

Upon hearing that, Anastasia pursed her lips and let out a helpless smile. I don’t want to receive it no matter how pretty it is!

“Miss Tillman, your admirer must be super rich!” Grace guessed in envy.

“He’s not my admirer,” Anastasia vaguely replied before she returned to her seat. In the next couple of hours, she intermittently stared at the bouquet of blue roses and fell into a daze.

At 11.30 AM, Nigel showed up at her office to invite her to lunch-it was in invitation that allowed no room for rejection.

When he saw the bouquet of flowers on the couch, he instantly knew who the sender

was. He felt frustrated with himself for being too busy with the renovation that he had forgotten about sending flowers.

However, Anastasia was embarrassed to have him treat her to lunch every day, so she announced, “Let me treat you to lunch later!”

Nigel merely wanted to have a meal with her, so he didn’t mind who would be paying the bill. In the end, they went to a western restaurant together. During the meal, he talked about his office renovation and asked Anastasia about her opinion.

However, no matter what she suggested, Nigel agreed to all her ideas and decided to adopt them. As a result, she dared not give any hasty suggestions. Otherwise, she would be guilty if the renovation turned out awful.

“Anastasia, what do you think about my cousin?” Nigel suddenly asked. Anastasia’s hand trembled at the question, causing the spoonful of food that she scooped to fall back onto her plate.

“Uh… h-he’s my boss and he’s a nice person, of course,” she stuttered.

“Between him and I, who do you think is better?” Nigel stared at her intently, determined to get an answer out of her.

At that, Anastasia put down her cutlery and looked straight into his eyes. “Nigel, what exactly are you angling at?”

On the other hand, Nigel pursed his thin lips and decided that he shouldn’t avoid the question he had been pondering any longer. And so, he exhaled and uttered, “I know that he’s pursuing you and he’s repaying your kindness at the same time. Anastasia, in regards to our relationship, I hope that… you can give me a chance to be with you.” He lowered his head as he knew that chances were slim. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Nigel, it’s great to be your friend. We can have meals together and meet up sometimes. Besides, you know that I have no intention to remarry. I’m really sorry!” She sincerely apologized, then added, “Please don’t waste your time on me, Nigel. It’s not worth it.”

“But…you are the only woman in my heart. There is no one else.” He raised his head and looked at the woman before him. Although she wasn’t the most beautiful woman, she was the most unique view that he had ever gazed upon.

Truth was, his words moved Anastasia’s heart, but she remained straight-faced and sighed. “In that case, I guess we can’t even be friends.”

His expression stiffened and then fell. “No, I don’t want that to happen.”

“Therefore, let’s remain as friends.” However, Anastasia couldn’t help feeling guilty when she said that. Seems like I have to avoid meeting up with Nigel too often after this. I don’t want to ruin his life. Instead of wasting his time and effort on me, he should go and pursue other women.
