Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 741

Chapter 741

Sophia looked up in shock. Really? Will he stay if I want him to?

Yet, despite the strong urge of expressing this thought to him, she could not say it out loud as Martha‘s

words were like a curse haunting her.

“I–I have something to do tomorrow, so I might not be able to send you off. Otherwise, I would try to be

there. I‘m serious,” said Sophia with a pout.

Arthur sighed. It seemed like he was being delusional.

“It‘s fine. You don‘t have to come since you don‘t want to see me anyway. I‘ll go back to my country and

inherit the family business. After that, I‘ll replace someone suitable to marry and form a family with her.

Now that I think about it, it actually seems quite nice.” He acted like he had already planned out his

future.

Yet, Sophia suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable as she pushed him. “Right, you‘re not young anymore. It‘s

time for you to build a career and a family.”

Then, she turned around and quickly walked to the direction of her home before wiping her face.

This action made the man chase after her. Then, he gripped her wrist, pulled her in and embraced her

just as she was about to reach the entrance.

This made Sophia fall onto his body. Looking up, she had a face full of tears, making her seem

especially pitiful.

Right then, Arthur was feeling a bit perplexed by his own words. Why would I say that to anger her?

Somewhat upset, Sophia pushed him. “Just leave if you want to. Why are you still holding onto me?”

Without saying a single word, Arthur hugged her.

Sophia, who was full of tears by this point, buried her face in his chest out of embarrassment and

sadness.

“Why are you crying? Are you that reluctant to see me leave?” Arthur teased her.

It was then Sophia heard the side door being opened and she remembered that her father had the

habit of going out on walks.

In the heat of the moment, she pulled the man to a corner of the villa.

“Quickly come here. My dad‘s coming out now.”

Although Arthur did not know why they had to hide like this, he still followed her instructions and went

to the corner. The moment he hid himself, he hugged her tightly.

This made Sophia blush again. Daddy just came out and here I am, hugging with some man. We‘ll be

dead if he catches us!

Yet, Drake went on his usual route as she only looked up after her father had disappeared from their

view.

“Alright. You should go now. If I don‘t go back home now, my mom‘s definitely going to get all anxious,”

Sophia stated sternly.

Hearing this, Arthur let go of her and asked, “Are you really not going to persuade me to stay back?”

Sophia was feeling bitter at his question. It was not that she did not want him to stay back; it was that

she did not have the right to do so.

Yet, she could only keep this to herself.

“Goodbye. I won‘t be seeing you off.” Sophia then turned around and entered her home after entering

the door pin number.

Standing in the courtyard, she did not go to the main hall straight away. Instead, she went to a window

and cried upon seeing the man drive off.

Why does it hurt so bad? We didn‘t say that we like each other nor have we confessed before. On top

of that, we‘re not even lovers, so what is this pain in my chest?

On the plane.

Lorelai, who was flying long distance just after a surgery, felt lethargic. She had found the perfect seat

on the plane. Even though she believed that Elliot would look for her, she hoped that it would be in five

years‘ time. By that time, she promised herself that she would come back with two children who

resembled him.
