Chapter 2040
Jared raised his hand to ruffle her hair before calling out to her fondly, “Hey, kiddo.” There were reporters all over the airport at the
moment. When Elliot and his family made such an entrance, the reporters watched them agape. Then, they all shifted their
attention to the couple in the center. Swho happened to know Elliot and Anastasia instantly recognized them.
Isn’t the couple over there the president of Presgrave Group and his wife? What a coincidence to meet them here! The reporters
snapped sphotos even though they could only share the photos among themselves.
After all, the reporters in the country were well aware that they shouldn't spread the news about the couple without permission.
“Look at Jared. Our son has matured a lot.” Elliot gestured for Anastasia to look at Jared.
His words reminded her of a divergence between them back then. He planned to let Jared handle things on his own while she was
reluctant to leave her son. At last, she agreed with Elliot only because she trusted his judgment. As she stood before Jared right

“You're right. Jared is a capable man now. | should stop worrying about him,” Anastasia. agreed with Elliot. After that, she turned to
look around. When her gaze landed on Willow, her heart lurched.
| wonder what kind of man my adorable daughter will meet in the future. When she made sure Jared could take care of himself, her
concern shifted to Willow. She's already twenty.
The siblings got in one of the cars while their parents took another. Once the car rolled down the highway outside the airport,
Anastasia was met by the familiar views. Memories flooded her mind and she gladly welcomed them.
The siblings in another car had quite a catching up to do, especially Willow. She was curious about Ellen, but she urged her brother
to share the love story between him and Ellen with her.
Since there was enough time, Jared told her the story from the beginning. The shock upon learning that Ellen was the younger
sister of Jared's life savior gradually subsided into surprise. It's a small world! “Jared, it's destiny.”
“l agree with you on that. We are meant to be.” He believed that everything happened for at reason. Even though Kevin has
passed away, Ellen hasto take care of her and protect her for the rest of her life.
“That's sweet of you. By the way, Ellen is an amazing woman! | heard she’s a chess champion. Do you remember the t| was
learning to play chess? It gavea headache and | had to give up on it. Thus, you can imagine how much | respect her. She's
practically my idol right now!” Willow was already adoring Ellen..
“I'm sure both of you will becgood friends,” Jared remarked as he could tell Ellen and Willow were birds of a feather. Later, he
brought his parents and sister back to the villa. Ellen was living in New Town for her convenience.
“Jared, take Ellen with you tonight. We'll have a family dinner together, Anastasia reminded Jared. “All right. I'll pick her up,” Jared
replied.

She nodded. After seeing him off, she returned upstairs with Willow in tow. Then, she unzipped her suitcase before taking out two
velvet boxes and opening them. In the boxes lay two necklaces made of rare gems.
“Wow, Mom! Did you design them yourself? They look elegant and beautiful!” Willow was surprised because she had never seen
them in her mother’s jewelry box.
“You're right. | designed them myself. Back then, | got two high-quality gemstones by chance. One was blue and the other was red.
By the t| received them, | was already thinking about gifting them to my future daughter-in-law and my precious daughter.
Now, it's tto give them to you.” After that, Anastasia grabbed one of the boxes and gave it to Willow. “Here, this one is yours.”
Willow happily took it before wrapping her arms around her mother and pressing a kiss to Anastasia’s cheek. “Thanks, Mommy!”
“Still calling‘mommy’, huh? You're already a big girl.” Even though Anastasia teased her daughter, she was secretly enjoying
it. She remembered the days back when Willow was just a toddler. The chubby cheeks and the sweet voice calling out to me! | miss
them so much!
After Willow was slightly older, Anastasia even thought about getting another child. However, she gave up on that thought right
after because taking care of Jared and Willow alone took up a lot of her energy. Therefore, she would rewatch their childhood
videos from tto time.
