Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 621-630
A graceful and elegant Sophia danced along the rhythm by twirling her body and swirling her arms to execute the clean moves with seamless flexibility.
Initially, Arthur was irritated by the jarring music, but he now couldn’t shift his gaze from the dancing girl. From staring blankly to watching her performance with delight, he had set the laptop aside on the fly.
Dance was a wordless means of communication via souls. When she noticed that he was watching her attentively, she smiled lightly as a calculative glint flickered in her bright eyes.
As the music was coming to an end, she began spinning toward the man, who was in the middle of the living room. Finally, she feigned fatigue before falling into his arms.
Noticing her fumbling steps, Arthur stretched out his arms instinctively to catch her as she did the ending pose in his embrace before rising to her feet with a smile. “I feel refreshed now. Oh, I’m already sweating. Guess I gotta go take a bath.”
Before he could even realize it, Sophia had already headed upstairs and left him zoned out while mesmerizing the soft sensation on his fingertips, which was so vague as if he hadn’t hugged her waist during that fleet second.
As soon as she returned to her room, she took a deep breath and patted her chest. It wasn’t until then did the embarrassment struck upon her for dancing unreservedly in front of the man.
Sophia opened the wardrobe and looked at the tight red dress, which made her sigh in a dilemma. Should I wear it? I mean, why not? If I can’t make him fall for me within one year, I’ll be a dead meat! So, why shouldn’t I try my best when I still get the chance to do so?
Then, she took a shower before wearing perfume and putting on makeup. After a full makeover, she saw a beautiful girl in red from the mirror.
Arthur was still a mysterious person to her; she only knew of his last name until today. Since she didn’t know what he would prefer and thus to show him the best of her.
At the same time, Arthur was having a phone call with his grandmother, Elizabeth, who was informing him on something.
“Artie, please find a local fortune teller to determine which place is suitable for your grandfather’s tomb. It is his wish to be buried in his homeland.”
“Sure, Grandma. I’ll stay for a little longer in the country to search for the perfect spot for Grandpa,” he promised.
As soon as she returned to her room, she took a deep breath and patted her chest. It wasn’t until then did the embarrassment struck upon her for dancing unreservedly in front of the man.
“Alright. Do inform us once everything is settled. We’ll bring him back to the country.”
“Okay. I’ll find it as soon as possible,” responded Arthur.
“Relax while you can. Don’t push yourself too much. You should be having fun when you’re on a trip.” Elizabeth was concerned about his personal life as their family had amassed enough fortune for their younger generations to lead a life of leisure.
Hearing the descending footsteps, he turned his head before he was paralyzed in confusion. While she was still talking on the line, his baffled mind was buzzing and he didn’t hear a thing.
Hence, he asked, “Grandma, what did you just say?”
“I said that your grandfather is afraid of water, so find somewhere near a mountain if possible. ” She trusted fortune tellers.
“Got it.” Arthur turned his head back to pay attention to the conversation.
Elizabeth exclaimed, “It’s been a long time since I’ve gone back to the country. I can’t wait!”
“Grandma, once I’ve found a spot for Grandpa, you can come back for a trip with Mom and Dad,” he said.
“Alright. Do inform us once everything is settled. We’ll bring him beck to the country.”
“Okey. I’ll find it es soon es possible,” responded Arthur.
“Relex while you cen. Don’t push yourself too much. You should be heving fun when you’re on e trip.” Elizebeth wes concerned ebout his personel life es their femily hed emessed enough fortune for their younger generetions to leed e life of leisure.

“Alright then. Let’s talk another time.”
As soon as Martha hung up the phone from the other end, Arthur glanced at the phone in his hand. Meanwhile, Sophia sat on the couch like a lady waiting to attend a ball.
The evening gown she had on was a dress that she had spent a fortune on abroad and the quality of the gown was impeccable.
Since young, she had been brought up with tender, loving care. As she lacked nothing at all, she was used to the finer things in life.
“Are you going to seduce some man by dressing up?” Arthur scornfully remarked.
She took the opportunity to jokingly reply, “You’re the only man here right now, though.”
In response, Arthur scoffed, “Well, you’re not pretty enough to seduce me.”
At that moment, Sophia’s face flushed slightly, and she could feel a shameful feeling wash over her. If it wasn’t because she owed him the necklace, she would never have to endure such humiliation and endure his taunts.
He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the sunlight as a ray of sunlight shone on his face. At that moment, his delicate features were perfectly illuminated.
Sophia was shocked upon seeing that.
He was too handsome and at that moment, as he basked under the sunlight, there was an indescribable regal look to him that was quite enchanting yet seemingly impersonal.
This was the type of man that usually appeared in novels and was hardly ever seen in real life. She thought, His existence on this earth must be to make women feel inferior.
She exhaled moodily and felt that everything she did seemed to be pointless because there was nothing she could do that would attract his attention.
“Well… I was just joking earlier on. I’m not interested in you.” She smiled sheepishly and got up to get out of the room. Subsequently, she went to the garden and remained there by herself.
Sophia found the air quite suffocating when she was in the same area as Arthur.
At that moment, there was a notification from the phone number used to contact the guests. There would be a ball organized in the main hall tonight, so the guests were invited to enjoy the glorious night.
Since she had left her phone number, she received the message too. At that moment, she felt quite excited. Can I attend the ball?
Meanwhile, on the spacious deck overlooking the sea, Anastasia came out to look for her son. She bumped into a group of people and it was such a coincidence that the old man was the person who had gotten into a spat with Harriet in the morning.
He glanced at Anastasia walking toward him and greeted her kindly, “Anastasia, you’ve worked hard.”
“Hi, Granduncle Henry. Nice to meet you.” Anastasia greeted him politely.
The other people by his side of the younger or same generation greeted her politely too. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Presgrave.”
She smiled and nodded. These people here were this elderly man’s younger generation. There were strict rules to follow in the Presgrave Family, which meant that there were rules in terms of addressing people as well.
Anastasia was here to seek her son Jared as Nigel had said that he would bring Jared to enjoy the beach nearby.
She could sense Henry sizing her up, and there was a scheming and speculative look that was quite evident in his eyes.
“Well… I was just joking earlier on. I’m not interested in you.” She smiled sheepishly and got up to get out of the room. Subsequently, she went to the garden and remained there by herself.
Anastasia noticed everything, but she didn’t show it. She merely greeted them with a smile before leaving.
As soon as she walked off, the middle-aged man next to the old man revealed a smile. “Dad, once she takes control of the family, it will be much easier for us to enter the Presgrave Group.”
“We’ve got to be patient and wait till she marries into the family. Harriet will hand over control of the family to her soon enough,” the old man reminded his son.
“I’ve waited so many years,” his son complained unhappily, “If it wasn’t for Harriet being in the way, I would have become one of the shareholders of Presgrave Group a long time ago.”
“Darling, there’s no need to rush things. How much longer can Harriet remain alive anyway?” A well-dressed woman adorned with jewelry spoke up as she clutched his arms.
Meanwhile, Nigel was building a sandcastle with Jared on the shore of the clean beach. Nigel was quite childish and he had fun building a large sandcastle with Jared, which left the young boy just as elated.
“Mommy, look at this. I built this with Uncle Nigel.”
Anastasia walked over with a smile. “That’s great.”
As soon as she said that, she quickly took out her phone to record this moment for her son. The smile on Nigel’s face widened too.
“Daddy!” Jared pointed in the direction of the fence close by and he waved to Elliot, who was busy entertaining the guests from abroad.
Anastasia turned her head and saw her charming husband. At the same time, Elliot glanced at her from afar. Although there was a slight distance separating them, his loving, tender look seemed to be meant only for her.
Anastasia felt a sense of bliss within her. In three days’ time, it would be their wedding day.
Night descended, and the atmosphere on the island tonight was merrier than ever because of the party that the guests were eagerly waiting to attend. This was even more so for the younger crowd, as they were full of excitement for tonight’s event.
The band invited to perform tonight was the top band in the country. Furthermore, there was great wine, good food, and interesting young souls at tonight’s event.
However, both the bride and the groom had no time to attend the party.
Anastasia was summoned to see Harriet. The reason was that Harriet had prepared photos of everyone from the Presgrave extended family to make things easier for her granddaughter-in-law. Harriet also went through each person in detail with Anastasia, going through the person’s background and personality.
Although Harriet was aged, she had a great memory and a logical train of thoughts. Anastasia was quite impressed by that.
Anastasia was also quite touched that Harriet had done so much in preparation for her upcoming role as the lady of the house. Anastasia forgot about everything else and focused on Harriet’s analysis.
There were two powerful forces she had to pay attention to amongst the Presgrave extended family.
The first one was Old Master Presgrave’s first cousin. They were closely related due to their blood ties, so their families tended to interact with each other.
The second force to be mindful of was the influential group passed on decade after decade by the earlier generations of Presgrave ancestors. They pledged their allegiance to the Presgrave Family, but they had their own power and wealth. They had once intended to join the board of directors of Presgrave Group, but Harriet had denied that.
On the surface, Presgrave Group seemed to be peaceful and stable, but in actual fact, the entanglement of relationships within was messy and quite complicated. From then on, it was imperative that she handle every relationship carefully.
The Presgrave Family continued to uphold their reputation and the glorious family prestige passed on from a hundred years ago. As such, it was essential that they uphold the family reputation, and there was no way that the family name could be tarnished in any sense.
