However, that Arthur no longer existed. He met a girl that had changed him; a girl that he could share his worries with.
“I‘m sorry. I…” Sophia did not want to ruin such a blissful moment as she really wanted every moment with him to be a happy one.
Reaching out, Arthur rubbed her hair gently and kissed it. “I‘m here. You don‘t have to overthink this.”
She did not dare to tell him about the fact that his grandmother had met with her before.
All of a sudden, Sophia lay on him while deciding that she would do something tonight that she would never come to regret. This was because she feared that she had no time left to profess her love. She would not want to regret anything when the day he left came.
After sitting in the room for a while, they then exited with Sophia returning to Grace before she started drinking red wine.
Let‘s get a bit tipsy tonight! If I get tipsy, I‘ll be able to let loose a little.
On the other hand, Anastasia was chatting with some high status women. Even though she was very young when compared to them, her background ensured that she had a dominating aura that followed her when conversing with these ladies.
Naturally, she did not let this chance to establish some business deals slip away as she had planned to grow her company into a renowned global jewelry brand, which needed the support of the upper society. This was why Anastasia was being so proactive in pushing her company.
All of this was observed by Elliot. Watching his wife converse with those women calmly and elegantly made him realize how adorable and charming his wife was.
He used to think that his wife would be one content with being a housewife. Now, she was focusing on her career like him. While fully supporting his wife‘s endeavors, all he strived for was the joy he felt whenever she achieved her success.
Anastasia was getting along with one of the rich women when she met with her husband‘s gaze. Not forgetting to show her love even in this setting, she winked at him.
This made Elliot smile involuntarily as all the other girls that fancied him presently saw this. Seems like the president only has eyes on his wife. He did not even glance at the other women here no matter how beautiful they are.
In a flash, Sophia had already finished two glasses of wine. With a flushed face, she still thought that she did not have enough as she wanted to continue drinking when a hand suddenly took the glass from her grip.
“Why are you drinking so much?” The man had a low and upset voice.
Arthur was standing beside her and had witnessed everything when she was drinking by herself.
Turning around, she then burped at him and mumbled, “N–Nonsense!”
To the man who only focused his attention on her the entire night, he had plenty of evidence to prove that she indeed was drinking excessively.
“I think you‘re drunk. Let‘s head home.” Arthur did not want others to see her in such a state.
“But… Isn‘t the hotel providing rooms tonight? Can we not return home?” Sophia requested.
Of course, he did not refuse her as he agreed with a low voice. “Okay, then. I‘ll bring you upstairs to rest.”
