My Baby's Daddy

Chapter 173 

Anastasia’s heart sank upon hearing that. She couldn’t even imagine the state of Harriet’s situation back then. The latter was a fifty-year-old woman trying to cope with the sudden loss of her son and daughter-in-law, and she had to step up to manage a multi-million company single-handedly. Furthermore, she had to raise a young grandson and back then, Elliot was her only hope.

Right now, Elliot had grown up to become an independent man and he ran the company well, so she could finally relax and enjoy a life of retirement.

“Your mother’s a great woman and though I’ve never spoken to her before, she has a mighty and heroic presence in my heart.”

Anastasia was also quite young-barely two years old-back then, so her impression of her mother was just the exceptionally heroic-looking woman in the photos. At that time, her father had just started up his business, so Anastasia was raised by her maternal grandmother. Two years later, her father had remarried and that was when Naomi joined their family. Naomi had brought along a daughter with her. After Anastasia’s grandmother had passed away due to illness, her father finally brought Anastasia back home to care for her.

At that point, Harriet quickly halted the current topic as she didn’t want to bring up Anastasia’s painful past, so she smiled and asked, “Anastasia, why don’t you make a guess as to who’s the other person joining us for lunch?”

In fact, Anastasia was quite confident that it was Nigel joining them for lunch, but she could only act confused. “Did you invite another person to join us?”

“It’s Nigel. I asked the two of you out for lunch with me to have a proper discussion. It was totally beyond my expectation that you were the little girl who saved Nigel back then. It must be fate!”
