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.
