Room for You

Chapter 40

On the way, Nigel received a call from his grandmother. However, since he had already agreed to accompany Anastasia and her son for lunch, he decided to only return to Presgrave Residence for dinner at night.

In the restaurant, Nigel talked about his plans to return to the country. He had returned to inherit the family business this time.

“What exactly does your family do? Can you tell me specifically?” an inquisitive Anastasia asked.

Nigel gave a mysterious smile; he had deliberately concealed his family background abroad and she had only known him as an ordinary hotel manager.

At this moment, he didn’t want to hide the truth anymore, so he pointed to the most luxurious hotel outside the window and said, “That belongs to my family.”

Anastasia turned to look out the window. It was a 7-star luxury hotel, yet it turned out to be owned by his family?

“My family has businesses in 36 countries around the world. The hotel that I interned at abroad is also owned by my family. Anastasia, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hide it from you,” he apologized.

She smiled. “It’s okay. I didn’t expect you to be the young master of a wealthy family.”

“Don’t say that. To you, I’m still me; nothing has changed,” he hurriedly explained.

Anastasia shrugged and explained, “I’m also lucky to be able to be friends with you! I can proudly say to the outside world that I am friends with you!”

Nigel looked at her with a wry smile. Why did she just want to be his friend? He wanted to have a more intimate relationship with her. However, he was not in a hurry and could wait for her.

In the afternoon, he accompanied Jared to go shopping for clothes and toys. If Anastasia hadn’t stopped him, he would probably have moved the entire Lego store home for Jared. She knew that he was wealthy, but he couldn’t spoil her son so much because she was afraid that Jared would become a spoiled brat. The little boy was elated today because he had received many gifts, all of which were his favorites.

The little boy went to the room to unpack the gifts in Anastasia’s apartment. Then,

she poured a glass of water for Nigel and asked curiously, “Nigel, do you know Elliot?”

He almost choked on the water when he heard that, after which he hurriedly covered his thin lips and coughed. “Anastasia, you’re not in love with him, are you?”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Anastasia frowned. “Why do you think so?”

“I admit that he is the only man more handsome and more attractive than me in this world. I am afraid that you will fall in love with him, and if that’s the case, I won’t be able to win the fight,” Nigel said somewhat jokingly.

“You know him?”

“He’s my cousin,” he explained.

Hearing that, Anastasia was shocked and speechless. What? Is Elliot Nigel’s cousin? No wonder his family is wealthy! It turned out that they’re family!

“Anastasia, I know that he has acquired QR International Group and is now your new boss. Do you like him?”

She retorted indifferently, “No. Don’t talk nonsense! Do you think I’m such a superficial person?”

A grinning Nigel immediately relaxed. “Of course, I know you have an eccentric character. Otherwise, based on my appearance alone, you would have fallen in love with me a long time ago.”

Anastasia smiled before she looked at the time and said, “Aren’t you going back to your family for dinner? Go ahead! It’s already 5:30PM.”

“Okay, I’ll contact you tomorrow then.” Nigel returned to the room, said goodbye to the little boy, and then left.

She was sitting on the sofa, still lost for words about how she got to know more of Elliot’s family. No wonder Elliot didn’t allow her to talk about what happened that night. So, was he also afraid of being humiliated? NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

When Monday came, Anastasia sent her son to kindergarten. Seeing how obediently her son went to school, she also went to work with a great peace of mind.

As soon as she arrived at the office, she was greeted by everyone’s attention. She didn’t know what had happened until a female assistant said to her, “Miss Tillman, your boyfriend is so handsome!”.

Boyfriend? What boyfriend?
