Chapter 782

In the hall, he saw his wife sitting dazedly on the couch as if something was weighing on her heart.

“What‘s the matter?” Elliot walked up behind the couch and leaned forward, wrapping his arms around

her neck as he asked.

“I told Sophia everything. She got really sad, and I could see that she truly loved Arthur.”

Elliot could also see from the banquet last time that his best friend was serious about Sophia as well.

However, he didn‘t know if the marriage this time had been forced into fruition by the family members.

“Let‘s not interfere in their relationship. You‘ve done what you could as a friend, so leave the rest up to

fate,” said Elliot, trying to comfort her.

“Also, Sophia said that she wants to come with us to Arthur‘s wedding, and I promised to bring her

along,” Anastasia raised her head and said.

Elliot was stunned. “If Artie really wronged her, why would she want to go?”

“Sophia only wants to go there for a look, and she won‘t cause any trouble. I think she only wants to

witness his wedding without doing anything that‘ll cross the line. Can‘t we bring her along?” Anastasia

pleaded.

“Sure.” Elliot had no objection to it, for his mind was currently occupied with another matter–Arthur‘s

abnormal behavior. If something really happened to his friend, he would have to investigate further.

Meanwhile, Sophia sat on the couch in the silent room. In front of her was the letter Arthur had

prepared before he left, and he had carefully written every word on that piece of paper.

This was proof of their love and evidence of the feelings he had for her. If this were fake, then what else

could be true?

If he truly stopped loving her, Sophia still wanted to hear it from himself. As such, she wanted to attend

his wedding with Anastasia and Elliot.

She wanted to hear him announce the end of their relationship before she completely gave up and

forfeited everything related to him. Then, she‘d start all over again.

After a whole night of consideration, Elliot decided that he wouldn‘t be taking his son to Flor. This time,

both he and Richard felt that something was off, and there were too many hidden dangers. They had to

find out the reason first.

Anastasia woke up in the morning to see Elliot leading their son out of the bedroom. The child greeted

her, then ran downstairs to play.

“What were you guys talking about so early in the morning?”

“I‘ve decided not to bring him along this time.”

Anastasia was a little stunned. “Why not?” Arthur was their son‘s godfather, so their son was obliged to

attend his wedding.

“The one who called me up to invite me to the wedding wasn‘t Artie himself; it was his steward instead.

Based on this fact alone, I know there‘s something wrong. I think something might have happened to

Artie‘s wedding this time.”

When she was reminded of this, Anastasia also felt that something was amiss. Arthur had been too

cold and cruel when he ended things with Sophia. Throughout their relationship, Sophia‘s love was

completely humble. She didn‘t ask for a future with him, so even if Arthur didn‘t marry her, he should‘ve

given her a proper ending nonetheless.

“Did Jared agree to it?”

“We agreed on a deal. I promised to bring him on a tour around the world during his summer vacation,

and we‘ll see the penguins in Antarctica together.”

Anastasia nodded. “That‘s good. We can go together.”

She was asking to be included as well!

In the evening, Elliot‘s plane took off. A dark gray private plane shimmered in the night sky above the

international airport, exuding a majestic aura among the airliners.

Meanwhile, Sophia had arrived. She picked up the pieces of her broken heart and was now boarding

as Anastasia‘s assistant.

Grace came along as well. Both she and Sophia could work together to take care of Anastasia.

Anastasia also comforted Sophia, telling her not to do anything rash no matter what happened. Sophia

was still young, and her future was still something to hope for.

Sophia wouldn‘t cause her any worry, and she was already quite calm on the outside. Her only reason

for going was to seek for an answer, and once she received it, she

would completely forget about Arthur before going home to start life anew.

The villa at night was filled with luxurious grandeur and cars with several guests pulled up at the

parking lot outside the villa. Soon, a tall and upright figure opened the door and got out of the car. He

took a luggage from the trunk, then carried it in his hand with great ease.
