Chapter 78
“Awesome!” Jared happily nodded.
“Jared, perhaps we should invite Mr. Nigel instead. What do you say?” Anastasia reckoned that Nigel was a better choice.
“Nigel just took over his company, so he won’t have time to attend the event.”
“Let me ask him and see what his plan is.” Nonetheless, Anastasia reckoned it was necessary for her to ask.
“No, Mommy! Fred just heard that Mr. Presgrave is my father, so if Mr. Nigel comes with me, our cover will be blown.” Jared disagreed.
After hearing her son’s explanation, Anastasia felt helpless while cursing Elliot deep down inside for telling the others that he was Jared’s father. Why would this fella falsely admit that he is my son’s dad?

Elliot smiled and said, “I’ll play my role as your father well.”
“I look forward to that.” Jared clapped his hands.
“Come on, I’ll treat you to a fancy meal.” Elliot then opened the car door and was about to put the boy inside his car when Anastasia came over and grabbed her son.
“We’re good, President Presgrave. I’m preparing dinner tonight.”

“Mommy, why are you lying about your cooking? You’re a good cook.”
Upon hearing Jared’s words, Anastasia looked helplessly at her son, feeling rather frustrated that he had just exposed her right in front of Elliot due to his naive nature Alas! I guess I can’t blame my son for telling the truth. After all, I’ve always taught him not to lie, and I’m pretty confident with my cooking skills as well.
“Mr. Presgrave, Mommy is going to buy some ingredients to prepare for dinner. Do join us.” The child looked up shortly before he entered the car without giving Anastasia a chance to say no. Nonetheless, Anastasia soon realized she should perhaps treat Elliot to a meal when she recalled the time that he had helped her, as well as his willingness to do Jared a favor by attending the parent-child program with her son. Therefore, she followed Jared and got into Elliot’s car, whereupon he drove them to a nearby shopping mall.
Then, she told her son to wait in the car with the man while she did a quick round of shopping and returned with a bag full of groceries that could last them for the night. before they returned to Anastasia’s apartment,
