The Girl Bumped to Him Is Pregnant novel (Anastasia)

Chapter 174 "Will it be just the three of you today?" the manager asked with a smile.

At that moment, Harriet suddenly recalled that there was another person joining them, so she quickly responded, "There will be four of us today."

Instantly, Anastasia and Nigel exchanged looks with each other. Is there a mysterious guest? Who is it? Harriet, however, was busy chatting with the manager, so they didn't interrupt the conversation.

All of a sudden, a waiter pushed open the door from the outside and a strapping, tall figure walked into the room. He had his suit jacket in his hand, and he was dressed in a white dress shirt paired with black trousers. In short, his attire was minimalistic yet full of elegance.

Anastasia's beautiful eyes widened upon seeing the man, and she was quite stunned to find that he was here too.

The person who walked into the room was in fact Elliot-the man who had shamelessly mentioned he wanted to join the lunch date the night before.

At the same time, Nigel narrowed his almond-shaped eyes too. Why did Grandma invite him along? He's just going to ruin everything!

"Elliot, how come you're here too? Don't you have any lunch conferences to attend?" Nigel lifted his brows and asked questioningly.

Elliot pulled out a chair and purposely took a seat next to Anastasia before he responded with a smile, "Well, I wasn't invited to any lunch conferences, so I had no choice but to barge in and join your lunch date too."

"Pfft! I'm sure there are plenty of people keen to give you a treat." Nigel didn't believe a single word that Elliot said. Furthermore, Nigel was quite sure that his cousin must have purposely turned up to mess things up.

Meanwhile, Harriet smiled upon seeing both of her grandsons in attendance. "Elliot mentioned to me last night that he didn't have any lunch plans for today, so I invited him along."

At that moment, Anastasia turned her head to glance at the man in question, and she noticed that his handsome face had stiffened slightly. Elliot clearly didn't expect that Harriet would expose his lie.

In the end, he took his cup of tea into his hand and took a sip from it. At the same time, he peered across from the edge of his teacup, and his dark gaze went toward the woman next to him. As for Anastasia, she purposely turned in the other direction as soon as she sensed his eyes on her.

"Anastasia, I'm sure that there's no need to introduce this person to you, right? He's my grandson, Elliot Presgrave. You guys must have encountered each other at the office, I believe?" Harriet asked with a smile.

Meanwhile, Anastasia had a slightly abashed look on her face as she spoke up guiltily. "Yes, we've met." Not only have we met, but we've also even kissed more than once! It was mainly because of Elliot's shameless personality, and that he had forcefully kissed her each time.

At that moment, Nigel reached out to hold Harriet's hand. "Grandma, why don't you hurry up and tell us the purpose of this lunch date today?"

Anastasia's heart skipped a beat as she heard that, and she turned to look at Harriet. At the same time, Harriet glanced at Anastasia with a smile on her face before turning to glance at Nigel, who was seated next to Harriet. "Anastasia and Nigel, I'm very happy to know that the two of you are in a relationship, so I've asked the two of you out today to discuss the date for the wedding. That way, we can get the ceremony organized as soon as possible."

At that point, Anastasia thought to herself, Elliot was right in his guess! Harriet has actually taken the proposal for real!

As for Nigel, he lifted his brows happily. "Sure! Grandma, why don't you pick a date for us so that Anastasia and I can proceed with the wedding ceremony as soon as possible? Anastasia, how does that sound?"

Meanwhile, Elliot crossed his arms together and looked at the woman next to him with a slightly gloating look on his face as he waited to see how she was going to handle this.

On the other hand, Anastasia shot a resigned look at Nigel before she turned to speak to Harriet. "Old Madam Presgrave, Nigel was just fooling around when he proposed to me that day. Don't take it seriously. We're just good friends."

"What?! How can one fool around with a marriage proposal?!" Harriet stared at her with an aghast look before turning to look at Nigel.

However, Nigel solemnly spoke up. "Anastasia, I was quite serious during the marriage proposal. I would like to take your hand in marriage and have you as my wife. Please allow me to care for you for the rest of our lives."

At that point, Anastasia lifted her head and she saw Nigel's expectant and loving expression. She couldn't help panicking as she pursed her lips. All of a sudden, she couldn't seem to figure out how to express her rejection with Harriet present. After all, she was mindful of maintaining Nigel's reputation too.

As for Elliot, he reached out and took a sip from his cup. His dark eyes were deep and mysterious, and one couldn't quite tell what was on his mind.

In fact, he was also waiting for the woman next to him to express her stance.

"Look, Nigel's sincerely in love with you, Anastasia. He's a great guy and I do hope that you can consider him as a prospect." Harriet tried to matchmake the two, as she really hoped that Anastasia could be a part of the family too.

All of a sudden, Anastasia found herself in a rut as she mumbled, "Old Madam Presgrave, I

"Anastasia, I'm sincere in my feelings. Ever since you saved my life, I made up my mind that my entire soul and self would belong solely to you." Nigel took this opportunity to confess his true feelings. He also hoped that with Harriet present, Anastasia would no longer shy away from his sincere feelings.
