Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 761-770
In fact, Elliot owned the hotel. The moment Anastasia entered the room, the man who had promised to listen to her trapped her against the door with his blazing gaze upon her.
“Sorry, sweetheart, but I’m not going to let you go tonight,” he apologized before pressing his lips against hers aggressively.
She was the only person who knew how he would behave after forsaking his sophisticated and cold image, which was shown to the public; beneath that facade lay a beast.
Still, it was early to determine who was the one in control tonight as Anastasia was the siren waiting for her husband to take the bait.
Otherwise, she would not have let her hair down in the elevator and made eyes at him while being all touchy by linking arms with him or leaning on him. The coy act was to display her charms to appeal to Elliot, who was the only one who could enjoy that treatment.
One of her little entertainments after tying the knot was to see her husband being assertive; that was why he could not hold himself back against such temptations.
However, he was oblivious of his wife’s little ploy.
After the long and deep night came the morning.
The sunlight streamed upon a girl’s beautiful face in the other room and woke her up. The first thing Sophia did after opening her eyes was to look at the man next to her.
Little did she know that he had been watching her the whole time with a smile while propping himself sideways with his arms supporting his head.
“Naughty girl.” The endearment escaped his sexy lips.
Embarrassed, she covered her face with the blanket. “No, I’m not.”
“Well, you’re right considering how many times you said ‘stop’ last night.” Arthur pulled her leg when he could.
Her face turned crimson as she dared not recall what had happened last night. Everything felt so real since she was now sober, but she would never regret it.
It was then that his arm wrapped around her body gently and he whispered sweet nothings into her ear, “I’ll take responsibility for you for the rest of your life.”
She turned her head to meet at his determined gaze before smiling. “You don’t have to be responsible for what happened last night.”
Arthur was baffled for a moment before staring at her nervously. “Sophia, what do you mean by that? Was last night merely a game to you?”
She blinked her beady eyes. “Can we not think about the future just yet? Let’s focus on the present and cherish it. I’m satisfied as long as you’re by my side.”
It was because she dared not think of the future, which scared her.
However, he was disheartened as he felt himself being played with; Sophia’s cool manner had hurt him.
“I’m going to the bathroom for a while,” she said before getting out of bed.
He removed the blanket to get out of the bed too, but his eyes were fixated onto the red stain on the bed. It tightened his heart and the strong resolution to take care of her surged in him.
Regardless of her attitude, he had made up his mind to be her only toy in her lifetime.
Feeling the water flowing from her head to toe, she was not sure if the droplets on her face were tears or water.
When she came out with wet hair and reddened eyes, the hickeys on her exposed areas were visible.
A startled Arthur came over and cupped her cheeks to take a closer look at her eyes. She then hastily lowered her head to dodge his gaze as she was afraid that he could see through her frail heart.
“What’s wrong with your eyes? They’re red.”
“The water must’ve gotten into my eyes. It kinda burns.” Sophia simply glossed it over by making up an excuse while blinking her eyes profusely.
“Let’s go to the hospital,” he suggested.
“No.” She shook her head. “I’ll buy an eye drop later. It should be fine.”
He cupped her face again to check on her eyes as his heart ached. “Stay here. I’ll buy one for you right now.”
Having said that, he immediately changed his clothes and left. She did not stop him because her mind was in a mess as well. She figured that she might as well take the time to calm herself down.
Once Arthur was gone, Sophia’s eyes became teary again. When she gazed at the bed, a smile appeared on her lips as she knew she was not going to regret it forever.
Even if he was not the one who would walk down the aisle with her—or even not walking down one at all—she acknowledged him as the man whom she loved the most in this lifetime.
Fifteen minutes later, he rushed upstairs with every eye drop he could find in the drugstore.
Momentarily stunned, she picked the one she normally used and asked him to help her with it before lying on the bed.
He looked at her peaceful expression and landed a soft kiss on her forehead. He was not going to go anywhere; he would stay by her side until her eyes got better.
At that moment, his phone rang before he looked at it with a frown. Although it was an important call, he did not answer it nevertheless.
During noon, they had lunch with Elliot and Anastasia, and the atmosphere was great. While the women chatted away about jewelry, the men listened to them attentively.
Then, Elliot accompanied Anastasia to the company to deal with some work whereas Arthur and Sophia returned home.
She was exhausted by the time they got home, so he stayed by her side until she drifted into dreamland.
It was not until then that he made a phone call and the receiver picked up the line immediately. “Young Master Weiss, where are you?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Three days ago, the family’s bank account was short of one billion. We need you to come back to look into it.”
“I’ll leave it to you.”
“Young Master Weiss, it’s not only about the money. It’s about the company’s succession too. You must come over.”
The glint in Arthur’s eyes simmered. “Alright. I’ll return soon.”
“Please be back within a week.”
“You can trust me with that.” After ending the call, he let out a sigh.
In the next three days, Arthur and Sophia barely went downstairs other than meal time. It was as if nothing could hinder their love after having broken through that intimate stage. Nothing mattered more than spending time together with each other.
Back in Goodwin Residence, Drake heard the news of Sophia’s boyfriend from Emma, which sparked the curiosity of the man’s identity. Although he could accept a guy with a normal background, it was important for him to be hard-working in life.
Since the family business would be taken over by Sophia, it was best for her to find someone who was capable in handling company affairs so as to lead a better life.
“Honey, I’m so curious about the guy. Why don’t we take a look in secret?” Emma had not been eating or sleeping well these days. Nothing seemed to pique her interest, yet she was eager to know what kind of man her daughter was dating.
A parent would have to send their daughter away when they got married someday and the elderly couple had come to terms with it. Not to mention that Sophia was turning twenty-four this year, which was about the appropriate age to start thinking about marriage.
Drake shared the same thought as well and he nodded in agreement. “I’ll have someone positioned after them to capture some photos for us. We mustn’t surprise them.”
“Okay. Ask your assistant to do so. Tell him to take a clear picture of the man’s face, not his back,” requested Emma.
At the drop of a hat, he contacted his assistant to hide at either the entrance of Sophia’s neighborhood or the underground parking lot. As the pictures were compulsory to be delivered by today, the assistant hit the road instantly to accomplish his mission as ordered.
On one hand, Sophia was cuddling in Arthur’s arms on the couch at home, sniffing his scent as happiness filled her to the brim.
He revealed his casual and gentle side of an ideal boyfriend to her, which was unknown to anyone else.
The simple gray T-shirt looked captivating on him. Despite the ordinary fabric, it looked like a high-end custom made design since he was wearing it. The aura of a young master dissipated as his fringe covered his forehead, making him look younger and more handsome. He could easily make one’s heart skip a beat at first sight while looking like that.
This explained why Sophia felt time was flying by so fast during the last three days she spent with Arthur. He was either hugging her the entire time or she was clinging onto him the rest of the hour; they basically could not leave each other’s side.
It was as if they had entrusted their whole world to each other. There was nothing else that bothered them besides their love.
“Where do you wanna go tomorrow?”
“The amusement park! Are you willing to go with me?” asked Sophia.
Arthur kissed her lips in response and answered in a horse voice, “Of course, I am.”
She shoved him away bashfully. “Stop it!”
