Chapter 661
Anastasia was reading on the grassy lawn right outside the living room while Jared was playing with the cat. When she saw Elliot walking up to her with his silhouette outlined by the twilight glow, she set her book down and ran to meet him in the middle,
She had missed him dearly after not sceing him for the whole day,
Upon seeing her running his way, Elliot opened his arms and caught her just as she threw herself into his embrace like a child. He lifted her up by the waist and iwirled her once, then set her back down. “Missed me?” he asked tcasingly. There was a warm and gentle gleam in his eyes as he kissed her forehead indulgently.
She nodded, smiling as she said, “I did.”
“Daddy, I want a kiss too,” Jared demanded as he approached the loving couple with the kitten in his arms.
Elliot let go of Anastasia and bent to pick up the little guy, then kissed him on the cheek lovingly. “Did you have fun at school today, Jared?”
“You bet!” Jared replied with a firm nod.
Meanwhile, Lorelai was on her way home when she called her mother and told her what happened with Anastasia. Upon hearing the details, Kendra said on the other line, “You did the right thing, Lorelai. That way, Anastasia won‘t be suspicious of you or see you as a threat.”
Lorelai had deliberately dropped by Anastasia‘s house during the late afternoon and left before dinner time just so the latter wouldn‘t think she was trying to butt into her family affairs. The clever planning would help Lorelai make a good impression on Anastasia, who would then put her guard down.
Presently, there was an ambitious glimmer in Lorelai‘s eyes as she said, “By the way. Mom, I‘ve already sent in my resume to Presgrave Group.”
“That‘s a little too soon, Lorelai. My father said not to rush the plan, remember? After all, Elliot is still in his honeymoon phase with Anastasia. You ought to wait until she‘s got a second kid on the way before you make a move.”
“Mom, don‘t worry, I‘m only doing this to gauge Elliot‘s feelings for me, that‘s all” Lorelai
