Chapter 173

Anastasia’s heart sank upon hearing that. She couldn’t even imagine the state of Harriet’s situation back

then. The latter was a fifty-year-old woman trying to cope with the sudden loss of her son and daughter-

in-law, and she had to step up to manage a multi-million company single-handedly. Furthermore, she had

to raise a young grandson and back then, Elliot was her only hope.

Right now, Elliot had grown up to become an independent man and he ran the company well, so she

could finally relax and enjoy a life of retirement.

“Your mother’s a great woman and though I’ve never spoken to her before, she has a mighty and heroic

presence in my heart.”

Anastasia was also quite young-barely two years old-back then, so her impression of her mother was

just the exceptionally heroic-looking woman in the photos. At that time, her father had just started up his

business, so Anastasia was raised by her maternal grandmother. Two years later, her father had

remarried and that was when Naomi joined their family. Naomi had brought along a daughter with her.

After Anastasia’s grandmother had passed away due to illness, her father finally brought Anastasia back

home to care for her.

At that point, Harriet quickly halted the current topic as she didn’t want to bring up Anastasia’s painful

past, so she smiled and asked, “Anastasia, why don’t you make a guess as to who’s the other person

joining us for lunch?”

In fact, Anastasia was quite confident that it was Nigel joining them for lunch, but she could only act

confused. “Did you invite another person to join us?”

“It’s Nigel. I asked the two of you out for lunch with me to have a proper discussion. It was totally beyond

my expectation that you were the little girl who saved Nigel back then. It must be fate!”

Anastasia curled up her lips and revealed a smile. “I didn’t expect that he was your grandson either.”

Harriet requested for Anastasia to explain the process of how she saved Nigel in detail, so Anastasia

acceded to the former’s request and thoroughly spoke about the ordeal. Anastasia also shared with

Harriet some of her experiences with Nigel when they were overseas. Meanwhile, Harriet listened on and

concluded in her mind that it was proof of Anastasia and Nigel’s affectionate relationship.

As such, the elderly woman was very intent on bringing the couple together. Once

Anastasia was part of the Manson Family, then Harriet could naturally continue to provide support and

compensation for Anastasia in every aspect.

At the moment, a gray-colored sports car was also heading in the direction of the restaurant. Nigel had

received Harriet’s phone call the previous night and she had instructed him to dress up well for lunch

today, as Anastasia would be in attendance too.

As a result, Nigel had woken up early to go to the barber’s, and he had gotten a stylish haircut for today’s

lunch date. His originally quite good-looking face was much more handsome and full of vigor than ever

after all the grooming.

Presently, Nigel had arrived at the restaurant and remained in his car. Taking a look at himself in the

mirror, he cheered for himself. “Nigel Manson, you must win Anastasia’s heart today and get her to agree

to your proposal. Good luck!”

He then pushed open the car door and got out of the car to enter the restaurant. Subsequently, the

waiter greeted him and escorted him to the direction of the private room as he waited there.

Meanwhile, Harriet and Anastasia arrived at 11.50 AM. Throughout their journey, the latter was

preoccupied with her thoughts as she tried to figure out how to explain the matter of the proposal to

Harriet, so that Harriet could give up on the thought of making arrangements for their marriage.

As soon as they entered the private room, Nigel instantly stood up to greet them and he lovingly

addressed Harriet, “Grandma, you’re here!”

After he had said that, he directed his affectionate almond-shaped eyes toward Anastasia. “Anastasia!”

Meanwhile, Anastasia greeted him with a smile. “You’re quite early today.”

“I wouldn’t dare to be late for lunch with you,” Nigel responded wittily.

Upon hearing that, Anastasia couldn’t contain herself and she laughed upon hearing his words. Harriet

watched their interaction and she was secretly quite pleased. They are indeed a perfect match for each

other. They look so compatible!

“What happened to your finger? Let me have a look at it.” Nigel had noticed it almost instantly so he

quickly reached out to hold her hand and check on her wound.

In response, Anastasia hastily withdrew her hand. “I’m fine. I accidentally cut myself while I was cutting

some vegetables.”

“That’s so careless of you. You should avoid cooking from now on. I’ll treat you to your meals.”

“No, Jared’s not used to eating out.”

“Come on and take a seat. Let’s order our food.” Harriet sat at the head of the table and the manager of

the restaurant came in personally to take their order. At the same time, he introduced to them the

restaurant’s specialties. Anastasia sat there and listened to him introduce their fresh and imported,

luxurious ingredients, which were all air-flown to the restaurant, and she realized by listening to the way

the ingredients were obtained that this was clearly not a restaurant that could be afforded by the general

population.

“Serve us one of each, then!” Harriet announced with a swagger.
