Chapter 780

“Sophia, where‘s Young Master Weiss?” Anastasia probed.

“Oh, he flew back for a family affair,” Sophia answered.

“In that case, did he tell you when he‘ll be back?”

“He said right after he‘s done dealing with his family‘s affairs.” Sophia‘s gaze was already filled with
longing.

Anastasia‘s heart skipped a beat upon hearing
so. Sure enough, she‘s clueless about this! Arthur didn‘t go home to deal with his
family‘s affairs; he went to get married, and his wedding date is this Saturday!

How Arthur had decided to deal with this really pissed Anastasia off. Even if he was Elliot‘s best friend,
it couldn‘t be denied that he was a douchebag for messing with Sophia‘s love and not holding himself
accountable for it.

“Grace, wait for us here in the car. I have an urgent matter with Sophia.” Anastasia decided the two of
them should talk in private.

While Grace waited in the car, Anastasia and Sophia entered the cafe. While the former was ordering,
she asked the server to bring a couple of drinks to Grace and her chauffeur.

Sophia, on the other hand, was taken aback as it seemed that Anastasia had something important to
tell her. Could it be about her resignation?

“Anastasia, is there something you want to talk to me about?” Sophia felt bad about it. She was
supposed to be Anastasia‘s assistant, but she quit just a few days into taking up the job.

“Sophia, how are things between you and Young Master Weiss?” Anastasia asked gravely.



Sophia smiled bashfully in response. “Not too bad.”

“Has it come to a point where you guys are talking about marriage?” Anastasia pressed on.

Recollecting the promise he gave to her parents, Sophia nodded. “He‘s met my parents, and he said
he‘ll marry me. I‘m already happy that we can be together, though.

Anastasia once again changed her impression of
Arthur. He actually promised to marry Sophia? Then what is he doing, marrying someone else as soon
as he goes back to Flor?He can‘t

possibly be thinking of having two families and two wives, right?

She then looked at Sophia sitting across from her, whose gaze was innocent. This young woman had
no clue she had been dumped!

“Sophia, what I‘m about to tell you might come as a shock to you. Promise me you‘ll stay calm and
don‘t freak out, okay?” She decided that Sophia should know.

“Alright.” Sophia nodded.

“Earlier today, my husband got a call from Arthur‘s family at 4.00PM, inviting him to attend Arthur‘s
wedding in Flor this coming Saturday.”

The cup of coffee in Sophia‘s hand slipped and fell onto the table with a thud, and even as the scalding
coffee burned her hand, she felt nothing.

Startled, Anastasia hurriedly grabbed some paper napkins to stop the coffee from spilling further, then
asked a server to come and clean the table up.

“Anastasia, is it true?” Tears of shock had already formed in Sophia‘s eyes when she looked up again.



After handing her a paper napkin, Anastasia nodded in affirmation. “It is. I thought you‘d be the bride,
but Elliot confirmed it‘s someone else.”

Sophia pursed her lips as tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls of a broken string. She didn‘t want to
embarrass herself in public, but it felt like someone had lacerated her heart, making it bleed badly.

Even if she never thought she and Arthur would have a future together, to hear that he would be
marrying as soon as he went home was still unbearable, so much so that it suffocated her. In fact, she
wasn‘t as tough as she thought she would be.

“Sophia…” Anastasia grabbed a paper napkin and went to her side, handing it to her gently.

Anastasia felt guilty, for she obviously knew telling Sophia this would break her heart. However, she
was even less willing to see Sophia be kept in the dark. At least, it would be better for her to walk out of
a bad breakup sooner.

“Anastasia, I…” Sophia choked on her words, and she couldn‘t even speak properly.

“It‘s okay, I understand. Just let it all out. I got you.” Anastasia sat down next to her on the couch. Her
heart ached for Sophia, but there was only so much she could do.

Sophia‘s tears fell like a never–ending waterfall. She tried to accept the reality, but it only made her feel
worse. She couldn‘t figure out why Arthur would leave that letter for her and why he would give her
such expectations, telling her that he would only

be gone for a while.
