My Baby's Daddy Chapter 385

It seemed that he should really keep his jealousy in line and give her some space and freedom.

After Elliot left, Anastasia returned to Francis’ office to find Erica tugging their father’s sleeve. buttering
up to him.

“Dad, I swear I can do what Anastasia can. Please let me work here!”

“No. Cut it out and go home now.”

“You’re so biased, Dad. Hmph! You don’t love me at all. All you care about is Anastasia,” Erica whined
as she turned around in anger, only to find Anastasia approaching. At that, intense resentment flashed
across her eyes.

Meanwhile, Francis coaxed Erica when he saw Anastasia. “Okay, okay, we’ll talk about this some other
time.”

“Anastasia, has Young Master Presgrave left? A few clients will be coming in the afternoon. You should
get to know them.”

Anger flashed across Erica’s eyes upon hearing her father’s words. Sure enough, Dad sees Anastasia
as his only successor!

“Dad, introduce them to me too.”

“Why don’t you ask Alex to show you around first.” Galled, Francis tried to send his younger daughter
away.



To be honest, why would Erica want anything to do with the company? She had long wanted to leave,
for she had zero interest in things that challenged her brain.

“In that case, I’ll go and look for Mr. Hunter!” Erica now put her focus on seducing Alex.

As soon as Erica left, Francis turned to Anastasia. “Have you made up with Young Master Presgrave?”

Anastasia blushed right at that. She swore nothing could escape her father’s eyes.

“Actually, we can’t blame the Presgraves for this. What your mother did was out of instinct, and it has
nothing to do with anyone. If she’s watching, she’d want you to be with Young Master Presgrave.”

“Why is that so?” Anastasia looked over to her father, confused.

“That’s because the Presgraves’ debt to your mother will have Young Master Presgrave treating you
and Jared well for your whole lives. At the very least, he won’t let you down or have an issue with
Jared.”

Thanks to her father’s words, the sadness and hesitation within Anastasia had alleviated. Riley had
merely said those words to separate Elliot and her.

In that case, why should she trust a murderer?! The one who deserved to rot in hell was him!

“I get it, Dad.” Anastasia nodded.

“That’s good.” Just then, Francis’ phone rang. He picked up the call and said, “Alright, we’ll be there in
five.”

“Anastasia, come and have lunch with me.”

With that, Anastasia follow her father to meet some of his important clients while Erica hung out in
Alex’s office, having no intention of leaving.



“Mr. Hunter, can you teach me accounting?”

“Erica, you can’t touch these papers.” The way Alex addressed her had changed.

Erica put the papers down right at that and sat down next to him, resting her hand naturally on his leg.
“Are you available tonight, Mr. Hunter? Why don’t we have dinner together?”

“Watch what you’re doing. We’re at the office.” Despite saying so, Alex didn’t move his leg away.

Erica had been missing the comfort of a man lately, and she was beginning to find Alex pleasing to the
eye. “Does it scare you to live alone, Mr. Hunter? Would you like me to keep you company?”

At that, she whispered into his ear, “We can do anything you like!”

Alex’s body stiffened upon hearing that, and he looked over at Erica. Though she wasn’t as beautiful as
Anastasia, she wasn’t unattractive either. Naturally, how could he resist the temptation when she was
offering herself on a silver platter? He was no gentleman anyway.

Anastasia was like a flower on the edge of a cliff, difficult to pick. Plus, now that Elliot was by her side, it
was even more impossible for him to get close to her anymore. Hence, he decided to settle for second
best.

Marrying Erica was also an effective way to obtain Tillman Constructions’ equity, after all!

“Erica, do you really like me?” Alex looked at Erica with a blazing gaze as he held her hands.

Erica went soft in an instant and fell into his arms. “Of course! You’re so capable. Plus, my dad thinks
highly of you, and even my mom likes you too!”
