“It’s okay. Mommy will help you ask him too,” Anastasia assured Jared. With her help, there would not
be any problems.
She knew that Jared did not know how Elliot would kill to give him everything in the world. All Jared
was asking for was to raise a kitten, so there was no doubt that Elliot would agree.
The kitten was very docile. Perhaps it knew that it was incredibly lucky to have met such a kind and
cute little owner, so it stayed in Jared’s arms quietly and meowed once in a while.
Anastasia accompanied Jared down the stairs as they headed into the kitchen to find some food for the
kitten..
At around half past six, they heard a car pulling into the driveway. Jared carried the kitten over to the
door to wait and soon, he saw his father walking in.
“Meow!” As if it had sensed Elliot’s dominating presence, the little kitten meowed pitifully and struggled
in Jared’s arms to try and escape.
“Ahh! Kitty, don’t be afraid. This is Daddy. He won’t throw you out,” Jared cried out in alarm, but before
he could grab hold of the kitten, it jumped out of his arms and fled out the door.
Anastasia came over and saw the kitten running off into the garden. She sighed as she thought about
how upset Jared would be now.
Elliot walked over to Jared and bent down in front of him. “Were you raising that cat who ran out?”
“Daddy, I found the little kitten in the garden today and I wanted to show it to you, but it ran off.” Jared’s
head was bowed in sadness. His eyes turned red and teary.
Elliot patted Jared on the shoulder. “It’s okay. I’ll help you find it.” “Really? I want to come too, Daddy!”
Jared exclaimed excitedly.
“It just rained and the garden’s covered in puddles now. I’ll help you find it, okay? You stay right here
and wait, and I’ll bring it back to you.” Elliot’s deep voice was firm.
“Okay. Thank you, Daddy Jared nodded happily.
Anastasia took one look at the finely dressed man who was about to scurry around the humongous
garden looking for a spooked little kitten and assumed that it would be a tall task for him, so she said,
I’ll come with you. I'll go. You stay with Jared,” he declined the offer after glancing at his sweet wife.
He took off his suit jacket and walked out in his shirt.
Anastasia crouched down to comfort Jared. “Jared, we’ll do our best to look for the kitten, but if it ran
out of the garden, it would be very hard for us to find it. Do you understand that?”
Jared nodded. Even though it had only been a few short hours, he had grown quite fond of the little
kitten..
He fervently hoped that his father would find it.
Meanwhile, Anastasia was taking pity on her husband. The garden was covered in puddles while the
grassy areas had all turned to mud, and Elliot had always been a clean freak..
For the sake of his son, he was willing to go out and look for a little kitten even though he would be
caked in mud and dirty water.
Time slowly crept forward as Elliot searched from the front gardens all the way to the back. His sharp
ears picked out the weak meows of the young kitten and he kept following after it, but the kitten
seemed to be frightened by him as it kept running away.
“Don’t be afraid. I just want to bring you home to live with my son.” All Elliot could do was crouch down
and remain motionless as he called out to the kitten who was still darting around in the garden.
The little kitten had experienced warmth and love from a humans today, and it yearned for the feeling of
being protected and loved..
Therefore, it dragged its drenched little body out of the bushes. It was too young -perhaps only recently
weaned, and it cried out helplessly as it stared at the towering man in front of it.
“Come over here, little guy,” Elliot called out as he extended his hand to the kitten.
The kitten was wary at first, but eventually, it walked over slowly, taking each step with great care until it
finally stood in front of Elliot. Elliot reached out to stroke its tiny head before holding it snugly in his
large, warm hands.
