Chapter 145
“Get in. We’re going to the grocery store.” As Elliot placed Jared at the backseat, it suddenly occurred to him that he would need to get a child safety seat installed so that it would be easier for him to pick Jared up in the future.
After the three of them returned to the car, they went to a nearby commercial area where they had plenty of time to stop since it was still rather early.
While they were inside the grocery store, Jared sat on the cart that was pushed around by Elliot while Anastasia was in charge of selecting ingredients for that evening’s dinner. Feeling somewhat gluttonous tonight, she picked up some pork, shrimp, and a few kinds of vegetables.
“My! What a beautiful family!” someone suddenly commented as Anastasia was choosing vegetables. When she turned her head, she saw two young women standing nearby and staring at them.
The moment Anastasia turned to look at them, they scuttled away in embarrassment as they had been caught in the act.
When Anastasia glanced back at Elliot and her son, she understood why those two young women had misunderstood. They looked very much like a family of three on a shopping trip indeed!
She quickly finished grabbing the vegetables and said to the man pushing the cart behind her, “Let’s go. I’m done.”
After they finished shopping, he drove all the way to the entrance of her neighborhood and parked. As soon as she gathered the bags of ingredients she had bought, he took them from her while saying, “I can carry them.”
“They’re not heavy. It’s fine.” Anastasia didn’t want him to lend a hand.
However, he stubbornly snatched them from her; his action prompted her to glance speechlessly at her son, who was also happy to have Elliot hold his hand.
Now that she was somewhat embarrassed, she strode off quickly to maintain her distance from them so that the neighbors wouldn’t think they were a family.
“Mommy, wait for us!” Jared shouted behind her.
Anastasia could only wait for them in a disconcerted manner.
When they finally arrived home, she let out a sigh of relief and took the bags from Elliot before heading into the kitchen. Some foods, like the pork, required a little more time to cook and she would need to prepare it beforehand.
“Entertain our guest, Jared,” she instructed her son as she left the kitchen to grab something.
A somewhat befuddled Jared nodded and looked up at Elliot. To him, Elliot was not a guest but
something of a family member.
Elliot stroked Jared’s hair with a grin. “I can entertain myself.”
Meanwhile, Anastasia began to busy herself in the kitchen. Since she had spent so many years cooking for her son, she had completely mastered her way around the kitchen. Moreover, to cater to her son’s taste, she had even spent many years looking up recipes and studying the concept of heat distribution. That meant she was quite adept at home cooking.
