Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 821-830

Both of her parents had been arrested. Her mother was detained as an accomplice, and they had denied Emily’s involvement in order to protect her. Therefore, she was released by the police even though her parents were imprisoned because of her.

It was something that she regretted most in her life, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Her phone rang all of a sudden, causing Emily to startle. When she saw that it was a call from her good friend, she spoke into the phone. “Hi, Sally.”

“I never thought that you’d do such a thing in order to get Young Master Weiss’ affection. You always seemed pretty confident in front of us, but I bet you’re dying of embarrassment right now.”

Hearing that, Emily’s face turned pale. Her friend wasn’t calling to check on her; instead, Sally was calling to kick her when she was down.

“Since your parents have been imprisoned, you’ll be kicked out of the family soon. I don’t think we will be able to see each other or go shopping together anymore. By the way, the bag that you previously ordered has arrived, but I don’t think that you will be able to collect it. In that case, I shall do you a favor and buy it up since it’s a limited edition make.”

Emily had enough of the insults and ended the call. Now, she finally knew how it felt when her friends turned their backs on her when she was in trouble. She had brought it upon herself since she was used to trampling on others when she was doing well.

However, the thing that irritated her the most was Sophia being the future Young Mistress of the Weiss Family, subsequently owning the entire Weiss Family’s fortune. Once Sophia married Arthur, they would build a family together and stay by each other’s side forever, which was supposed to be the life that Emily was going to have. She was sure that Sophia would act high and mighty in front of her if they were to meet in the future.

At 6.00PM, the dinner banquet that was being held at the Weiss Residence had commenced. Martha, who was the hostess, sat at the head of the table while five attractive youngsters sat next to her. The servants were amazed at how good looking they were as all of them were uniquely gorgeous.

The thing that Martha was most interested in was how Richard and Elliot noticed that Arthur wasn’t his usual self and how they realized that he was being harmed. While Richard explained the situation to Martha, Arthur, who was all ears, felt touched by what Richard had done for him. Moreover, he realized that something was wrong from just a phone call.

“We know Arthur well. He would’ve definitely called personally to tell us that he is getting married,” Elliot said.

“I must have been confused and slow to catch on because of my age. If not for all of you, something disastrous would have happened within our family.” The thought of it still scared her as there was not much she could do if the Jennings Family were in control of her family due to her old age. She was also worried that something would happen to Arthur due to the side effects of the poison.

“Elliot, Richard, cheers to both of you! Arthur raised his glass and said.

“No worries. The other time something happened to me, you and Richard came to my rescue too.” Elliot knew that they had each other’s backs.

“This is what friends are for.” Richard laughed.

Anastasia, who was sitting opposite Sophia, smiled at her as she was happy that they were now sisters. Their husbands saw each other as brothers, after all.

“Sophia, I’d like to apologize to you for the words I said to you back then,” said Martha, apologizing to Sophia in front of everyone.

“Grandma, you don’t have to apologize to me. I understand your situation.” The sudden apology surprised Sophia.

Arthur felt bad for everything that she had gone through and caressed the back of her head as he looked at her. Sophia turned and looked at him too. Noticing that, Martha was glad as after the whole episode, she finally got herself a future granddaughter-in-law who loved Arthur with all her heart.

After dinner ended, all of them left separately. Elliot brought Anastasia for a walk while Richard went back to his room to work. Meanwhile, Arthur brought Sophia out for a short drive. Under the spotlight, the sight of roses in full bloom in the garden looked spectacular. The air was filled with their pleasant floral scent. As Anastasia was admiring the flowers, she suddenly felt nauseous. She wasn’t sure why, but it could be the overpowering scent of the flowers.

The next moment, Anastasia covered her mouth and bent over as she felt like puking.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Elliot bent down and hugged her.

“I just feel nauseous all of a sudden.” She was feeling unwell.

The nauseousness came back again after she took a few more steps. She felt dispirited since she didn’t know what was wrong with her body.

When he noticed that, Elliot brought her back to their room and poured some warm water for her. She lay on the couch after finishing the drink since she felt uncomfortable. Then, Anastasia started retracing what she had eaten or done the past few days. Besides constantly feeling tired, she didn’t seem to have eaten anything wrong.

Suddenly, something came to her mind as she immediately sat up and stared at Elliot.

Elliot seemed startled by her reaction and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Do you think we’ve hit the jackpot?” She immediately got down from the couch and walked toward the cupboard. She was searching for something in her pouch.

“What are you looking for?” Elliot walked toward her and asked.

“This. I’ll go and take a test.” She took out a box and showed it to him.

After she went into the washroom, Elliot had mixed feelings about having a second child. Although he wanted another child, when he thought of the discomfort that Anastasia would have to go through, he was happy just to have Jared.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was standing next to the sink while checking the results, and she was overjoyed when she saw the two red lines that appeared. She was finally pregnant with her second child, and she hoped that it would be a daughter.

When she got out of the bathroom, she teased Elliot and pretended to look disappointed. “It’s not,” she said.

Hearing that, he seemed relieved and hugged her as he smiled. “That’s good. If you really are pregnant, it would bring you a lot of pregnancy related discomfort.”

“What? Don’t you want a daughter?” Anastasia was surprised by his words.

“If it means that you have to go through the discomfort, I’d rather we just have Jared.” He looked down and kissed her forehead. “I have no regrets.”

“I really want another child, and it’s here, though.” Anastasia laughed and hugged him.

“Really?” He looked at her in surprise.

“Mmhm! That’s why I’m letting you know in advance. Get ready to abstain!”

Elliot was surprised and happy at the news. He then hugged her and sighed. “Thank you for carrying our child. I hope that you have a smooth pregnancy.”

However, Anastasia really looked forward to it as she knew that the baby would be the happiest baby when she was born because she would have a loving father and brother. She imagined that the baby would be adorable like an angel.

“Since I’m pregnant, let’s go home after attending Sophia’s wedding so that I can get some rest.” Her focus was now on the baby.

“Sure!” Elliot kissed her.

Under the night sky, the road was empty since it was a private road. Arthur brought Sophia out for a drive in his convertible sports car. Since he wasn’t speeding, it felt nice as the gentle breeze brushed across their faces. When they reached a viewing deck, they were surrounded by wildflowers as they gazed at the sea in front of them. The sky was full of stars, and a floral scent filled the air. The ambience was pleasant and romantic.

Sophia took a deep inhale as she felt that she was surrounded by happiness.

“Is it pretty?” Arthur smiled. He wanted to share the best things within the family with the woman he loved.

“Yes! The scene looks just like a painting.” She nodded and had her attention on his face. His good looking features were prominent under the moonlight, and it mesmerized her more than the view.

That was the case for Arthur too, for she was the thing that he found most beautiful.

Under the moonlight, Arthur grabbed her by the waist and she hugged his neck as they leaned in for a passionate kiss.

They didn’t have any other thoughts; they just wanted to kiss and feel each other.

In the silence of the night, their senses were at their keenest. Sophia leaned into Arthur’s embrace, blushing and feeling that her rapidly beating heart was about to explode.

She would never forget this wholly romantic experience.

Meanwhile, Arthur took her hand and walked some distance forward. Their path was paved with fine white cobblestones that reflected the moonlight and emanated a faint white glow. It was breathtaking.

Even though it was unfamiliar terrain at night with insects chirping all around them, as long as Sophie held this warm and large hand, she would have nothing to fear since she’d gravitate to wherever he was.

When they returned, Arthur carried her on his back. She wasn’t tired, but he just wanted to do it for her. As Sophia leaned against his firm and broad back, she could rest, admire the scenery, and even occasionally kiss him on the back.

Arthur immensely enjoyed this happiness as if he were carrying his entire world on his back.

Out of the three best friends, the other two had already found their partners for life; only Richard was still engrossed in his work, enjoying his time alone.

He was studying some complicated program as he coded, his slender fingers tapping away on the keyboard. His firm gaze was on the lines of code displayed on the screen, and not a bug was in sight.

He had already completed the accurate calculations in his mind. Just then, he received a message on his phone. ‘Richard, they’ve crossed the border and entered your country. It looks like they had already arranged a meeting with the buyer. We should go as soon as possible.’

‘I’ll be back on time,’ Richard replied. Then, he closed his computer. His identity was highly confidential, and his responsibility was to protect his country. No matter what, he wouldn’t allow his country to face any danger.

Tonight, all the servants in the Weiss Family were busy with the preparations. They were changing out all the wedding decorations today, and a new wedding would take place tomorrow.

Early the next morning, a ray of sunshine spilled in through the window and splashed onto the girl’s pretty face. Her slender arms moved before brushing against some firm muscles, and she happily pressed her little face against it.
