Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 19

After Anastasia returned to the shop and explained everything that had happened, the owner of the shop glanced at the torn gown before consoling her with a smile. “It’s alright, Miss Tillman. I’ve already bought insurance for this dress, and they’ll settle it for me.”

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.” Anastasia felt even more guilty.

“It’s alright as long as you had fun,” the owner of the shop assured.

Although Anastasia still felt guilty when she took the cab to go back home, she was extremely tired as well. All she wanted to do right now was to go home and hug her son until she fell asleep.

Anastasia finally reached home around 10.00PM. When she saw that Francis was still playing with Jared, she said, “Dad, I’m back. You can have some rest now.”

“Anastasia, Jared is a really bright kid, and I can’t even tell that he’s just four years old! You really did a great job educating him,” Francis exclaimed.

Upon hearing that, Anastasia couldn’t help but smile wryly as Jared learned everything by himself without needing her to educate him, and all she did was accompany him. After Francis went back to his room, she showered before hugging Jared tiredly and planting a kiss on his face. “Let’s sleep now, Jared.”
