Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 796

“There are… many pictures of me and my boyfriend, and I don‘t want to show them.” Sophia kept her head down, tears welling up in her eyes.

At the same time, Arthur felt a stab of pain in his chest that overwhelmed him all of a sudden as he asked with a deep voice, “Did you have a boyfriend?”

Sophia‘s eyes were filled with tears as she kept her head low. “Yes, I did, and he loved me very much.”

Arthur stood up with a glacial look. “I guess I shall make a move now. Just call the maid if you need anything.”

Sophia looked up and saw the door shut in dismay. He is gone. I can‘t believe he is gone. At the thought of that, she felt suffocated, wondering why he would forget about her. What happened to him after he returned to his family? What has he been through that traumatized him so much that he would forget a memory? What kind of suffering did he go through? The thought of that left Sophia with a sharp sting in her heart.

Meanwhile, there were two more men who wanted to know about Sophia‘s confusion more than anybody else–Elliot and Richard—as they had started to make their move. In the meantime, Richard had brought along a lot of military gear, including eavesdropping devices that he could use wherever he went. After all, he had a set of extraordinary skills that allowed him to sneak into any place without being noticed. In fact, even Johnny‘s lab, which was heavily guarded, didn‘t prove to be enough to stop Richard, who was able to infiltrate the place stealthily. At that moment, Richard was in the room with Elliot as they appeared to be standing in front of the computer.

With a pair of firm eyes that appeared on his face, Richard had been sitting there the whole day because he didn‘t want to miss any single piece of information that could prove useful. Having planted his eavesdropping devices all over the place, he reckoned nothing should escape his ear, including the maids‘ murmurs. Soon, he squinted the moment he heard a lady‘s voice in his earpiece.

“Mom, is Dad back? I have something important to ask him.”

Richard immediately tuned into the source of the voice, realizing it was coming from Johnny‘s house. Therefore, he squinted and carefully listened in on their conversation.

“Why are you looking for Dad, Emily? You shouldn‘t be running here and there because there is still a lot that you have to do for your wedding. Don‘t forget. You‘re going to become the prettiest bride ever.”
