My Baby's Daddy

Chapter 58

For a child this small to be left alone in a crowd, Jared could have been kidnapped by some ruffian working for a syndicate and no one would have noticed at all.

The amusement park was not too far away from here. Elliot drove over and pulled up outside the parking lot. At present, there weren’t a lot of people at the amusement park entrance and only Francis stood there, waiting with Erica and Naomi in tow.

When Erica heard that Jared had been found, she started to become evasive and

immediately denied having anything to do with his going missing.

The mysterious car was gleaming under the lights as it rolled to a stop. Then, the door swung open as Anastasia stepped out of the car with Jared in her arms.

Francis practically flew over to them and hurried to crush Jared against his chest, his tears streaming down his face as guilt ate away at him.

 “Oh, my darling grandson. You gave me a fright!”

However, in the midst of this joyous reunion, Anastasia’s murderous gaze was fixed on Erica. The rage that boiled within her was urging her to look for an outlet; otherwise, she might combust on the spot.

At the sight of the baleful look on Anastasia’s face, a wary Erica took two steps backward and demanded, “Why are you looking at me like that, Anastasia?”

It was when she saw how uneasy and evasive Erica was that Anastasia’s anger renewed. She raised a hand and brought it down hard across Erica’s face, the slap resounding in the crisp evening air.

“Ow!” Erica shrieked, her eyes wide in bewilderment.
