Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 441-450
Hayley’s hatred for Anastasia persisted even now, and the former believed that Anastasia was to blame for her current plight.
Christmas was around the corner, and Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier was preparing an event for the joyous season. Early in the morning, Felicia gave Anastasia a call.
“Hello?” Anastasia was still laying on the bed, unwilling to get up.
How cozy the bed was in the winter!
“Why? Are you that tired after last night?” Felicia joked indecently.
That stumped Anastasia. “What are you thinking of, Felicia?”
“What? Am I wrong? Is President Presgrave by your side now?”
“We haven’t gotten there yet, Felicia!” Anastasia replied, burying herself in her blanket.
On the other end of the call, Felicia was surprised to hear that. “Oh my! You spend every day with him and have managed to keep your cool until now? Well, I admire you for that,” Felicia teased. Then, she went straight to the point. “Do you have time to attend the annual celebration that Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier planned two weeks ago?”
“Oh? I would like to go.” Anastasia was interested.
“Great! Ask President Presgrave if he has the time to attend as well. Vice-president Young requested me to confirm with you,” Felicia said.
Larry Young was the atelier’s boss for the outsiders. Anastasia rarely saw him, but she knew that he played a significant role in the atelier’s success today.
“Okay, I’ll ask him.”
“It’s quite a big celebration this time. We invited our spokesperson and singer too.”
“Which singer will be there?”
“The more well-known ones will be Bobby Moore and Hendrix O’rion.”
Anastasia was elated to hear that and she exclaimed with much anticipation, “I like Hendrix O’rion a lot!”
She was in a good mood after ending Felicia’s call. The annual celebration was on this Friday, and she wanted to continue working as well although it was just two days before Christmas Eve. Design was her lifelong hobby; it was not merely her job, but her dream as well.
She hoped that her designs would one day be a treasure admired by many, just as an artist would wish for the most dazzling stage. That would give Anastasia an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
After getting up from the bed, she went to Jared’s room, only to find that he wasn’t there. At that point, she was embarrassed to learn that she had become even lazier than her own son.
She then went to the kitchen and saw a portion of breakfast that had been kept warm. After finishing it, she went to the garden and heard Jared’s laughter from the lawn.
Walking in the direction of the sound, she noticed him kicking a ball with Elliot, who was dressed in a gray sports suit.
Elliot is the only one who can be this handsome even in a sports suit.
And his figure was absolutely superb.
Jared saw her coming and immediately demonstrated his kicking abilities. She smiled lovingly at him, her eyes full of praise, and gave him a thumbs up.
Elliot turned around and looked at her too. His black hair was in a messy state from the wind, but it made him appear younger.
She hesitated whether to look at him or Jared, but it was obvious that Jared was not as eye-catching as Elliot just then.
She felt sorry for her son. He was kicking the ball so hard that she could see it, but she was distracted by another man.
Jared, drenched in sweat, finally ran up to her and hugged her. “Mommy, am I skillful?”
“Yes. It’s wonderful.” She gave him a peck on his cheek.
Elliot walked toward them too, holding a towel in his hand. He then thoughtfully replaced the one on Jared’s back. Such attentiveness moved Anastasia’s heart, but she felt ashamed at the same time as she, being Jared’s mother, was not as attentive to Jared.
Jared was like Elliot’s biological son; each and every of the child’s moves affected Elliot. Because he cared for Jared, he was always thinking about how to treat Jared better.
After changing his towel, Jared ran back out to the lawn again, whereas Elliot simply sat down beside Annastasia. Remembering the annual celebration, she asked, “It’s Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier’s annual celebration this Friday. Are you free to attend?”
Upon hearing that, he shook his head. “Larry informed me about this, but I have no time for it.”
“I see.” She nodded. “Then I’ll go on my own.”
Elliot had just turned his head to look at Jared, but upon hearing her words, he immediately turned and looked at her again. “You’re going?”
“Felicia said there will be some good performances. I’m interested.” At that point, Anastasia was already looking forward to seeing her favorite singer.
Elliot changed his mind and said in a deep tone, “Okay. I’ll ask Rey to allocate some of my time then.”
That startled Anastasia. “That’s not necessary. Your work is more important.”
“Work will never be more important than my girlfriend,” he replied casually. He initially refused to attend the annual celebration because the atelier was unimportant to him in the first place. That was just a jewelry brand he bought for fun.
In fact, Elliot acquired it to get closer to Anastasia.
His words gave her a warm feeling. Even the cold air surrounding her became warmer now. Pursing her lips, she smiled and said, “But I’m not planning to bring Jared along. Too many people will be there.”
“That’s great. If you don’t mind, I plan to send Jared to Grandma’s house. She had been nagging to see him.” Elliot looked at her, to which Anastasia nodded in agreement. “Send him there then!”
She did not mind it at all. She merely hoped that Jared would not be too mischievous and cause trouble for Harriet.
When they mentioned that to Jared, he happily agreed and asked, “Mommy, are you going on a date with Mr. Presgrave?”
‘No. We’re just attending a work event,” she explained.
However, Elliot did not go along with her. “You’re right, Jared. We are going on a date.”
“Enjoy your date then! I’ll be good.” Jared hoped that they could be together more than anyone else.
Seeing them both, Anastasia was rendered speechless.
Jared was still young, but he was preoccupied with adult issues.
There were still two days until Friday. The next morning, Anastasia received a call from Francis informing her that there would be a year-end inventory meeting in the afternoon and inviting her to attend.
Though it was still too early for her to take over Francis’ business, she was trying her best to become a qualified successor.
“I’m dropping by my dad’s company, so I’ll leave Jared to you,” she told Elliot.
Elliot had just woken up and his hair was still in a messy state. But not long later, Jared came down with the same hairstyle.
Anastasia couldn’t control her laughter when she saw that. Indeed, hair in the winter is uncontrollable.
“What are you laughing at?” Elliot asked while handing her a cup of milk.
“Both you and Jared really look alike sometimes,” she answered.
Hearing that, Elliot turned around to look at Jared and smiled. “This is our fate as father and son.”
Anastasia had no idea what to reply to that. Jared, on the other hand, hugged Elliot’s legs and asked, “Mr. Presgrave, when can I have such long legs as yours?”
He already had Elliot’s looks and now, he wanted to have Elliot’s long legs as well.
Elliot then put a cup of milk before him and answered, “You will have long legs if you eat more and drink more milk.”
That immediately prompted Jared to take the milk and said, “Okay. I will finish this!”
“Jared, I need to go to your grandpa’s company later. Stay at home and listen to Mr. Presgrave, will you?”
“Sure! I can play with Mr. Presgrave then!”
“Don’t. He is now working from home and has a large amount of work to complete. Don’t bother him,”Anastasia mentioned. In fact, Elliot chose to work from home because they were at home.
However, Elliot consoled Jared, “Don’t worry. I will play with you.”
When he heard that, Jared proudly raised his brows at Anastasia. The child looked exactly the same as Elliot while doing this, leaving her speechless.
She did not drive her car here and hence, she couldn’t go out. It wasn’t practical for someone to pick her up either.
In the end, Anastasia could only borrow a car from Elliot.
“Don’t you have other cars which are not that eye-catching?” Standing in the basement garage, she was taken aback by the array of sports cars in front of her.
All of the cars were either cool, dark, or wild in color, making them completely unsuitable for her to drive.
“That suits you.” Elliot pointed to a gray Ferrari.
Anastasia wasn’t choosy, so she got into the driver’s seat right away and adjusted the seat. Elliot couldn’t help but to admire her from outside the window for a while before she left.
At the same time, Francis walked out from the Tillman Residence. Coincidentally, Erica returned from breakfast with Hayley and when she saw Francis, she asked, “Where are you going, Dad?”
“Of course I am going to work. There’s a year-end inventory meeting today.”
Just as he finished his words, Naomi approached them and said, “Go with your father, Erica. Year-end inventory meetings are very important, so join it and learn from your father.”
With that, Erica had no other option but to say, “I’ll go with you, Dad.”
“You don’t need to. Rest well at home.”
