Chapter 619


    There was a table and chair for her to take a rest, but the night wasn’t as serene as one expected.


    Sometimes, a squeaky cry of a bird and the sight of a cat fleeting from out of nowhere pierced through


    the silent air.

    Under such circumstances, a poor Sophia curled herself on the chair, hugging herself to retain her


    warmth.


    One of the posh vis were Anastasia and Elliot’s matrimonial house. The exquisite yet minimalistic


    interior filled the ce with a mixture of romantic and wholesome atmosphere.


    Anastasia was still bathing when Elliot returned after settling some work. Listening to the running water,


    he smiled lightly while undoing the button’s on his shirt before opening the door to the shower.


    Looking at the intruder, she dipped herself into the bathtub. “I’m not done yet!”


    “Let’s shower together, sweetheart.”


    “You’re going to say that we’re running out of water, aren’t you?” Anastasia chuckled.


    “Nope. I thought I should give you a shoulder massage since it’s been a tiring day for you.” He


    approached closer with a sinister smile.


    The night belonged to the lovers; the fire in them ignited ardently after having


    quelled for so long. She knew that she stood no chance against the man whom she had fallen deeply in


    love with. Even if she was all in, she couldn’t help but submit herself to Elliot until she fell asleep in his


    embrace.


    There was a girl fast asleep on a bench ced outside of Vi No. 58. It was already midnight and the


    temperature had dropped. No matter how much she tried to endure the cold by hugging herself, she


    was freezing in her sleep too.


    In the meantime, Arthur couldn’t sleep in hisfortable and warm room, for his mind kept thinking


    about the girl, who was still outside.


    It was 3.00AM, yet she neither made a fuss nor shouted during the past four hours.


    In the end, he got up from bed and opened the bedroom room. As the chilly air caressed his skin, his


    face stiffened. Due to the huge temperature difference between day and night on the ind, one could


    even feel the cold in the vi, let alone being outside.


    He descended the stairs and went out. As soon as he pulled open the small gate, he could see Sophia


    sleeping while trembling in the cold under the street light


    If she falls sick, I gotta ask someone to take care of her and that will be a hassle. I should just let her


    sleep inside. He made up an excuse in his head.


    “Hey. Sophia Goodwin, wake up,” Arthur called her in an attempt to wake her up.


    She pried open her drowsy eyes to see the man, who was standing beside her with arms crossed.


    “Can I head inside now?”
