Chapter 387 Promise Me This
With that, Aliona left. Now, all she could do was wait for Lucas’ news before she took the next step.
She had to bear Elliot’s child quickly, for Riley was still waiting for her to bail him out.
Meanwhile, in Hogland, Hayley removed her bandage for the first time a week after her surgery. Now
that her face was no longer swelling, the surgery results were visible.
Her originally slightly square face had now become oval. Her double eyelids were still swollen, but her
nose had become taller, her lips were now prettier, and her jawline was now perfect.
Hayley got ecstatic at that—she was finally beautiful. Though it wasn’t as good-looking as Anastasia’s
all-natural face, she was certain it wouldn’t be far off from Anastasia’s.
Once her swelling was gone entirely, she’d be able to see Elliot!
What she didn’t expect was that the results were far better than she had expected, and she’d be able to
go home after a month.
Hayley looked into the mirror to find her profile and features similar to Anastasia’s. She smiled at that,
her gaze laced with triumph.
What will Anastasia think when she sees my face? Will it disgust her?
Then, she wondered if Elliot would accept her and suddenly fall in love at one point once her face had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthealed entirely and was at the peak of her beauty.
Surely the night five years ago was unforgettable to him. If he suddenly had the urge to revisit the
feeling, only she would be able to give it to him.
“You’re stunning, Miss Seymour. A perfect ten,” said the agent beside her.
However, Hayley suddenly stopped smiling, and the happiness was gone in a split second. The praise
did nothing to delight her.
Her face was shaped according to Anastasia’s. Simply put, praising her would be like praising
Anastasia, and this displeased her.
Worse, this discomfort would only remind her of Anastasia’s perfect, all-natural face whenever anyone
praised her.
At night, after showering Jared, Anastasia planned to watch some TV and relax when her phone rang
all of a sudden. She picked it up to find Elliot calling.
What is he doing calling this late?
However, she still answered the call nonetheless. “Hello?”
“Can I hang out at your place?”
“Right now?” Anastasia checked the time at that to find it was already 8.30PM.
“I just finished a business dinner, and I’ll be passing by your place on my way home. I want to see you.”
“Didn’t you just see me yesterday?”
“To me, there isn’t a second that I don’t stop thinking about seeing you.” Elliot became the embodiment
of Mr. Romantic.
Anastasia, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.
Surely he would already have a child by now if he used this effort to court another woman!
“Alright, come up then.” Finally, she said yes.
An elated Elliot responded, “Right away!”
Just like that, a regular night turned exciting following Presgrave’s sudden visit.
Right after that, Anastasia got up to make tea and cut up some fruits.
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang. She checked the peephole, and sure enough, a certain someone
was standing outside of her apartment.
She opened the door only to find he hadn’t come alone, but also brought tons of stuff with him! The
most eye-catching thing would be the latest set of Legos. Elliot carried two sets in his hand while Rey

“Why did you buy so many?” Anastasia didn’t know how to react upon seeing this.
“Jared loves them.”
“You’re going to spoil him,” she pointed out frustratingly.
“Why don’t you come in as well, Mr. Osborne?” Anastasia invited Rey in.
However, how dare he stay when his boss had come to spend some quality time with Miss Tillman?
He’d like to live a couple more decades, after all. “No, thanks. I still have something to do. You two
have a nice chat.”
Jared thought he heard noises outside and came out, exclaiming when he saw the lego sets on the
couch. “Wow! I love you so much, Mr. Presgrave!”
At that, he threw himself into Elliot’s arms, leading Anastasia to shake her head. This guy has bought
Jared over completely.
“You’ll have to promise me one thing now that you’ve taken my presents. Listen to your mom, and don’t
ever make her upset.”
