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.
Sophia blused and she immediately hid her phone behind her before exclaiming. ‘Please don’t misunderstand. I was just taking a selfie. I didn’t take any pictures of you!”
Although Arthur didn’t say anything, he knew very well that she secretly took a picture of him.
She immediately dashed upstairs and when she got into her room, she checked the last picture that she took using her phone’s camera. Arthur was seen dressed in a black suit which he looked stunning in. At the same time, he exuded a mysterious aura.
‘Since he’s that handsome, he would do well if he joined the entertainment industry. Why didn’t he do so?” Sophia: mumbled.
As she looked at the picture again, she sighed. “It’s a pity that he always has the
poker face on. He’d look even more handsome if he smiled more.”
On the other hand, Nigel was really happy today. When he stepped out of the banquet hall with a bunch of people from the Presgrave Family, he was stopped by his mother.
