Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 805

The servants hxed up a hearty candlelight dinner and had served up the feast in advance.

As Arthur chewed gracefully, he latched his gaze on the young woman sitting across from her as though to make sure she ate everything on her plate.

Famished, Sophia couldn’t care less anymore and ate away.

Martha had already informed Arthur to join her for dinner earlier in the afternoon. It would be his wedding day the next day, so she wanted to have a serious word with him. But who’d have thought her beloved grandson rejected her? The news got her down in the dumps. Moreover, Arthur had gotten distant from her, making her reflect that she had been too strict on him normally.

“Is he having dinner with Emily?” Martha asked a servant.

For fear of upsetting Martha, the servants kept Sophia’s presence unknown to Martha all this while. But now, seeing how upset Martha was, she couldn’t help lowering her head and reported, “Young

Master Weiss is having dinner with another lady, Old Madam Weiss.”

“What?” The news shocked Martha for a moment. “He’s having dinner with another woman? Which family is she from?”

What is Arthur trying to do? Tomorrow’s his wedding; does he plan on humiliating himself before the wedding?!

“She’s a guest,” the servant answered.

“What guest? Is it a friend? What’s her name?” Martha asked directly.

“It’s a guest from afar named Sophia She has also now been moved to the room next to Young Master’s. I guess she’s an important guest to Young Master,” said the servant.

The revelation shook Martha for a solid few seconds, and she slammed the spoon in her hand. “What?! She’s here? How did she get here? Have the butler come over.”

Sophia had come to attend the wedding. It was only then Martha realized she hadn’t taken notice of the guest list when she had been so busy getting the other wedding details ready.

The butler arrived in two shakes, and Martha questioned him gravely. “Go and check if there’s a guest named Sophia Goodwin on the list.”

“There is, ma’am. She came with Mr. and Mrs. Presgrave as Mrs. Presgrave’s assistant.”
