Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )

Chapter 787

“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you feel anything?” Richard asked him.

With a smirk, Arthur answered, “I think something is wrong with you, not me.”

“What’s wrong with me?” Richard asked him again.

“You’re a busybody like someone’s mother,” Arthur rebuked him.

Hearing that, Richard looked at him resignedly. “That’s because you ditched us.

“Whatever.” Arthur turned around and left after saying that.

Then, Elliot came over and patted Richard, who was feeling hurt. “There’s really something wrong with

Arthur. We should look into this.”

“I looked into his schedule and saw that he’d met a biology professor, Johnny, the day after coming

back. However, I still haven’t found a chance to meet him yet. I’m sure something is wrong there.”

“Okay, we can start looking into it. We need to be extra careful in Weiss’ territory, though. It’s not our

place, so don’t let them have anything on us.”

“I know. Let’s look into it together.” Richard felt better after knowing that he had someone on his side.

On the other hand, Sophia promised Anastasia to not simply go anywhere at night. She didn’t simply

go anywhere either and merely strolled in the garden downstairs. If she didn’t come out to give herself

some air, she felt that she would go insane in no time.

As she was strolling, her gaze landed in her opposite direction. Lights were shining blindly, and the

person she loved the most was standing there. Even though they were not separated by mountains or

seas, but only by a garden, it was a gully that she found difficult to cross. He was

right there, but she couldn’t touch him.

Sophia was engulfed in sadness as she had her head down the entire time and was walking absent-

mindedly. After walking for quite some time, she raised

her head and was immediately stunned. Where am I?

Since the gardens were interlinked, she was now standing deep inside an unfamiliar garden and had

lost her way. What made it worse was that there was no one in the garden who could help her.

At this moment, she grew more upset, and tears were gushing out of her eyes. She hugged herself in

her arms and chose a bench to sit, ultimately deciding to cry it out.

She could use this chance to release all her emotions since no one was around. All this while, the

toughness and calmness that she tried so hard to put on were all fake. In fact, she was feeling

heartbroken inside.

Under the night sky, Sophia started sobbing, ignoring everything around her.

However, she didn’t know that her sobbing had attracted one person-a man who was heading to his

study. Arthur had good hearing, so he could hear a woman crying from deep inside the garden.

It was the extremely sad sobbing kind. Yet, he didn’t want to know why she was crying. He just hoped

that she could cry in a lower voice so as not to disturb his work later.

Yet, even after a while, she was still crying so loudly. As such, he decided that he would go over and

get her to move somewhere else to cry.

Meanwhile, Sophia thought that there was no one around, so she didn’t suppress her emotions at all.

She was trying to convert all her sadness into tears and was crying whole-heartedly, not realizing there

was a person approaching her.

Just then, she heard a cold voice of a man coming from the side. “Why are you crying?”

Startled, she lifted her head sharply and saw a man standing in front of her under the moonlight.

Although the moonlight was behind him, she could still recognize this figure that she was extremely

familiar with. Regardless of his cold tone just now, he was still the person whom she loved the most.

“Arthur…” Sophia said happily and dashed toward him desperately. After running into his arms, she

hugged his waist tightly.

Arthur didn’t have the chance to reject her, and the woman had wrapped her arms around his waist

tightly. In fact, she was wiping her tears on his shirt.

“Let go.” He reached out his hand to pull her tightened fingers on him.

Instead of letting go, she hugged him even tighter until a cold voice came from above her head, asking

her, “Who are you? Why are you hugging me?”

At this moment, she lifted her head from his chest. Her big, teary-eyed eyes looked at him pitifully

under the moonlight.
