Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

Chapter 107

Anastasia’s smile stiffened for a few seconds before she let out a light cough. “Of course I know that.”

“Anyway, you shouldn’t trust any other guys apart from me.” Nigel was tempted to just state Elliot’s name

explicitly

“I got it.” Anastasia nodded. Right then, Jared accidentally knocked into her bag on the couch, and a

bunch of things fell out. Among the items were her keys, her lipstick, and an invitation card.

Nigel’s sharp eyes immediately caught sight of it, and he picked it up. “Did you receive my grandmother’s

invitation as well? My grandmother’s the one who is hosting this charity dinner.”

“Oh! Yeah.” Anastasia pressed her lips together into a smile. She didn’t want to mention that her mom

had once saved Elliot. Nigel was elated to hear this, and he quickly gave her a reminder. “You have to

come! I’ll be there too, and I can introduce you to my mom and dad.”

“Okay!” Anastasia nodded thoughtfully. She had already told Harriet that she would be there, so she had

to attend the dinner. “Oh, by the way, I’ll prepare an evening gown for you,” he offered.

“It’s fine.” Anastasia immediately rejected him. But Nigel didn’t want to be rejected, so he continued

insisting on his wishes. “I’ll show you how good my taste is! Trust me. I’m leaving now.” Anastasia sent

him to the elevator. “Drive safe,” she uttered. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

He turned around to give her another stern reminder. “Promise me that you won’t bring other men home,

okay, Anastasia?” For the sake of reassuring him, she gave him a firm nod. “Okay, okay. I know you care

for me. I’ll take note of what you said.”

Once he got into the elevator, she heaved a sigh of relief before returning home to give Jared a bath.

She read a book with him before she went to shower. When she came out of the shower, she heard her

phone ringing, and she rushed over to see Elliot’s name on her screen.

“Hello?” She picked up the call.

“Are you home?” The man’s voice was deep and thick, which made Anastasia’s ear tingle. She knew that

it was wrong for her to have stood him up, but she didn’t have much of a choice. It’s not my fault that

Nigel showed up all of a sudden, right?

“It’s nearly 10.00PM. Of course I’m at home,” she replied.

“What’s going on between you and Nigel?” The man’s voice carried a hint of distaste as he questioned

her. “We’re more than good friends,” she replied.

“I told you not to fool around with his feelings. If you don’t want to get married to him, then you shouldn’t

give him hope.” The man gave her a stern warning.

Anastasia felt like he was too much of a busybody, so she rolled her eyes. “What’s wrong with us being

friends? Furthermore, you are in no position to warn me about my relationship with Nigel. What are you

going to do if I fall for him and decide to marry him?”

“Do you want me to tell him about how you forcefully kissed me twice?” The man’s voice

sounded extremely sinister all of a sudden. She was taken aback by his words, and she immediately let

out a cry. “Don’t talk nonsense, Elliot!”

“What? Does he know about how the lines are blurred between us?” he asked.

“There are no blurred lines between us. Things are clear between you and I-there’s nothing going on

between us at all,” she replied with a determined look in her eyes.

“You owe me dinner. You have to make up for this in the future.” The man scoffed before ending the call.

Anastasia held onto her phone and gritted her teeth in anger. How can there be a man as annoying as

him? He’s really sticking his nose into all aspects of my life.

Anastasia lay on her bed for a while, but she couldn’t seem to fall asleep as she knew that the prizes

would be revealed the next day. Furthermore, there was going to be an award ceremony at 3.00PM. If

she won a prize, she wouldn’t just get the trophy; she would also win a cash prize of 1 million. Anastasia

needed the money, so she naturally hoped to be the lucky winner. Such thoughts made it hard for her to

fall asleep.

Meanwhile, Hayley was also losing sleep in her luxurious villa. Ever since she took up her fake identity of

being Anastasia, she had been enjoying her life as a rich girl. However, she still felt empty with just

materialistic pleasures-she didn’t have the relationships she desired. She desperately wanted her

relationship with Elliot to blossom. Ideally, she’d be able to get physical with him.
