As Spohia’s attention was captivated by the newlyweds, she heard a young man next to her coughing, as if reminding her to dial it back. Right after, she got slightly embarrassed and took a sip of tea as she looked down. At the same time, Anastasia noticed the beautiful lady next to Arthur, who seemed like a good match to him.
“Artie, introduce her to us.” Elliot smiled as he glanced at his good friend.
“There’s no need to.” Arthur shot a look at Sophia placidly.
Just then. Sophia stood up and greeted the bride and groom politely. “Mr. and Mrs. Presgrave, I’m Sophia Goodwin. I’m honored to attend your wedding banquet, and I wish the both of you a blessed and happy marriage.”
“Thank you!” Anastasia seemed to really like Sophia, and she was left with a good impression of the woman.
“Artie, look after Ms. Goodwin well and don’t neglect her.” Elliot patted Arthur’s back since this was the first time his good friend showed interest toward a lady. Truth was, he was glad about it.
Meanwhile, Lorelai, who was seated on the third row’s table, looked sullen as she raised her glass and took a sip of wine. She was distracted while the younger Presgraves were enjoying themselves.
“Miss Lorelai, what are you thinking about? You should be happy on such a lively occasion!” One of the Presgrave girls asked her.
‘I’m really happy.’ She tried to squeeze out a smile and held her forehead before saying, “I’m just tipsy.”
The juniors couldn’t tell what was going on in her head and just asked her to have less wine. Just then, Lorelai saw Elliot walking toward them with his hand around Anastasia’s waist. She immediately adjusted her hair, wanting to look her best in front of him. Although she was as pretty as Anastasia, she didn’t get to marry him since Anastasia was his one and only true love!
“Elliot.”
“Mr. Presgrave.”
Since Elliot was rather senior within the Presgrave Family, the juniors greeted him like how they usually did. He was addressed in a few different ways and it amused Anastasia, who giggled as she buried herself in his arms.
“Lorelai, do take good care of them.” Elliot raised his glass at her. Thereafter, Anastasia stretched her hand over and patted on her back, “Lorelai, have fun today.”
“Sure, I will.” Lorelai smiled as she nodded.
Soon after, the newlyweds went to the next table. Since Jonathan was a renowned businessman, he knew all the guests by heart and was able to mingle with everyone. The banquet hall was filled with laughter, which gave it a lively atmosphere.
Dissatisfied that she was seated at the last row, Katrina complained, ‘It’s a humiliation to be seated at the last row!”
Upon hearing that, Mason turned over and glared at her before whispering, “Stop with the nonsense. You’re lucky to be invited here tonight. Can’t you see that those who are here tonight are the elites?”
Not convinced by him, she grumbled,. “Isn’t it obvious that they looked down on us?”
“You shouldn’t think that way. Even if you are seated at the other tables, do you think you can blend in with the: billionaires? You’ll be uncomfortable around them since all of them are rich and powerful business leaders. In truth,
Mason was relieved that he wasn’t seated there.
Since the duo were currently seated together with the Presgrave Family, they had common topics to talk about. Very soon, Elliot and Anastasia approached their table. Katrina took the chance to look at the handsome Elliot for as long as she could since she wouldn’t have the chance to do so anymore in future.
“Mason, Katrina, thank you for attending my wedding,” Anastasia uttered earnestly.
“Anastasia and President Presgrave, congratulations to both of you.” Mason raised his glass.
Elliot clinked Mason’s glass and said. “Thank you.”
Upon hearing that, Katrina quickly chimed in, “President Presgrave, here’s to you and Anastasia.”
And so, Elliot raised his glass and drank up.
Finally, after they had greeted all the guests, it was already 12.20PM. They went back to their seats as lunch was served. The atmosphere was great, with lively music being played in the background. Since his parents are finally seated, Jared went over and sat next to them. The photographer managed to take photographs of the family. After lunch, Anastasia and some of the juniors of the Presgrave Family walked out to take some pictures together since the venue had been beautifully decorated.
As soon as she stepped out of the hall, she saw a woman in front of her. “Ms. Goodwin!” she called.
“Anastasia.” Sophia walked toward her, feeling flustered.
“Let’s take a picture together!”
“Really? Sure!” Sophia walked over and stood next to Anastasia excitedly.
After the brief photo session ended, Sophia was really happy that she was invited to take a picture, and it made her like Anastasia even more.
“If you’re not in a hurry to leave, you can stay on the island with Young Master Weiss for a few more days.” Anastasia told her.
“Sure!” Sophia nodded.
After lunch, all of the guests had gone back to rest in their rooms as there would be another banquet and a ball at night. Anastasia immediately removed her high heels to check her toes when she reached the mansion, since she had been wearing them the whole day.
“What’s wrong? Let me have a look.” Elliot kneeled down to get a closer look.
He could see that her pinky toe had a visible red mark on it. His heart ached as he rubbed her feet. “You shouldn’t wear high heels tonight.”
“No way. I will have to wear high heels since I’m wearing a gown.”
“In that case, I’ll prepare some hot water for you to soak your feet in and to relieve the tension.”
“It’s okay. You must be tired.” Anastasia knew how tired he must be, since he had been busy the whole day..
“No worries.” Elliot walked out and requested a foot basin from the room attendant, thereafter filling it with hot water for her foot bath.
His actions made Anastasia shy, but it warmed her heart at the same time. Elliot’s love for her could be seen and felt from his eyes, heart and through his actions.
While Anastasia was soaking her feet, she felt sleepy and yawned.
“You should take a nap after your foot bath since tonight’s gonna be hectic.”
“Yeah. What about you?” Anastasia stared at him. His attractive face was flushed red since he had had a lot to drink earlier on.
“I’m not tired.”
“Then accompany me as I nap?”
“Alright.”
After she changed into a set of comfortable pajamas, Anastasia got into bed while Elliot lay next to her until she fell asleep. She dozed off in no time. After that, he tucked her in and went downstairs to get some work done.
Meanwhile in Villa No. 58, Sophia was holding her phone and taking selfies in the garden. Since the gown looked nice on her, she naturally took more pictures.
Suddenly, her gaze shifted over to the living room and she saw a handsome man sitting on the couch. She secretly took a picture of him but as she did so, her phone’s camera shutter sound was heard because she forgot to put it on silent mode. The nex: second, Arthur lifted his head and the atmosphere instantly got awkward.
