My Baby's Daddy

Chapter 147

“Mr. Presgrave is extremely busy. Let’s not take up any more of his time, okay?” Anastasia advised Jared.

To her dismay, Elliot had carried Jared instead. “I’m not busy. We can continue playing.”

“Yay!” A happy Jared threw his arms around Elliot’s neck before turning back to say to her, “Let’s play together, Mommy.”

Even though she was exasperated, she only sighed in response. “I’ll take a stroll then. See you guys in a bit.”

Hoping that the light exercise would aid with her digestion, Anastasia went for a walk around the neighborhood.

The clock had turned to nine just like that and she returned to the fitness area to see her son on the swings this time. Since Elliot was still pushing him, she could only head over and order, “We’re going back to take a bath, Jared. You still have school tomorrow!”

Hearing the sternness in his mother’s voice, Jared nodded obediently. “Alright, let’s go home!”

Anastasia glanced up at Elliot. “Why don’t you head home first?”
