Save for him and his wife, no one else knew about this.
In the evening, a private plane landed safely at Flor International Airport.
When they exited the airport, the cars that would ferry them were already there. Anastasia went with
Elliot, while Sophia and Grace got into another car. As Sophia felt the evening breeze of this country on
her face, she couldn‘t help the tears welling up in her eyes. She felt as if there was a hint of kinship in
the air.
She was breathing the same air in this country, just like him. She would be able to see him soon.
“Don‘t cry, Sophia. You’ll be able to see Young Master Weiss soon.” Grace considerately passed her a
napkin and comforted her.
“Thank you.” Sophia suppressed the sorrow inside her. No one could understand her feelings then, her
joy of seeing him soon, and also the despair that would ensue when she witnessed his wedding.
Shrouded in the curtain of night, Flor was both bustling and unfamiliar. The cars were headed toward
the horizon in the distance.
Finally, after two hours, they arrived at the villa where the guests would be lodged. Under the night sky,
the villa looked magnificent and large as if it were a huge beast crouched on the ground.
Sophia looked at the huge villa which was akin to castles and palaces. It took up almost a million
hectares, and the garden formed a patchwork pattern in the night. This definitely wasn‘t any ordinary
rich person‘s house.
“Wow! Young Master Weiss is so wealthy!” Grace was also in shock.
The butler brought a few people along to welcome them, then led them to the guest rooms prepared
beforehand. Anastasia took Elliot‘s hand and whispered in his ear, “The Weiss Residence feels like an
ancient palace to me.”
“Yes, the system is quite strict here, and the difference in classes is clear as day.” Elliot nodded.
Anastasia couldn‘t help but be stunned. She was more used to the relaxed atmosphere back home.
The woman then turned to look at Sophia and said, “Sophia, you can rest for today, and we‘ll talk about
everything tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay, Anastasia. I won‘t do anything rash.” Sophia nodded as she promised.
She was already grateful enough to be able to set foot in here, so she wouldn‘t cause any trouble for
Anastasia. Even though she could hardly suppress her urge right now, she would do her best to rein it
in.
As soon as Anastasia and Elliot arrived at their room, someone knocked on their door. Elliot opened
the door to see Richard standing at the entrance. In delighted surprise, he immediately gave his best
friend a hug, and Richard also squeezed him back tightly. Then, Richard mused that this was the right
way best friends should treat each other.
After Richard came in, he greeted Anastasia, “Hello, Anastasia.”
“Hi, Richard.” Anastasia was also on familiar terms with him.
“Elliot, there really is something wrong with Artie.”
“What is it?”
“He seems to have changed completely, and he‘s indifferent about everything as if nothing could get
him excited or emotional at all. He has lost all emotion toward everything. Even when he sees us, he
treats us like mere acquaintances,” Richard said helplessly.
Elliot frowned. “How could this be? When I met him last time, we were still so close to each other.”
“I know, right? His grandmother told me that he changed on the day after his return, and even though
he‘s going to get married, he doesn‘t look happy about it at all. It‘s as if getting married carries the
same weight as having a meal to him.”
“Is he marrying the girl he likes?” Anastasia couldn‘t help but ask curiously.
Richard shook his head. “I have yet to meet that girl, but I think that Artie is only going through with the
wedding because it‘s protocol. I don‘t think love is involved here.”
“Did his grandmother ask him to have this wedding?” Anastasia asked again.
“No, I heard that he asked to marry this girl himself.”
Anastasia exchanged glances with Elliot. Arthur wasn‘t forced into marriage, and he was the one who
wanted to marry the girl instead? What about Sophia? Did he really have no love for her?
“We‘ll go see him for a bit.” Elliot was a little anxious to see for himself what had changed about Arthur.
“Okay! Anastasia, you can rest in the meantime. We’ll be off.” With that, Richard headed outside.
