Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 687

Chapter 687

Just as Elliot was about to get up, Anastasia reached out to hug his neck. “Then, we don’t have to use it.”

He immediately understood what she meant and was taken by surprise. Then, he kissed her gently and

asked in a hoarse voice, “Sweetheart, are you sure?”

“I am!” She had promised Jared, so she decided to try and see if she could fulfill his wish of giving him a

sister on his birthday next year.

At the break of dawn, Arthur suddenly had the urge to visit Sophia’s father after waking up.

After all, he had nothing better to do.

Deciding that he wanted it to be a surprise, he did not inform her about it. He used other means to get

information

about Drake’s whereabouts. After all, the Goodwins’ company was in his hands.

To avoid Emily, Arthur left at about 10:00 AM to drive directly to the hospital since his bodyguard had

bought him a gift in advance, so he drove directly to the hospital.

At the hospital, Drake and the rest of his family were just at the entrance as his driver was on the way to

bring them to a restaurant for lunch.

As Drake couldn’t walk, he was pushed out in a wheelchair.

At this moment, a pick-up truck drove up toward them and the man who stepped out was Christopher

coming to pick Sophia up. At 5 feet 7 inches, he weighed nearly 200 pounds in sportswear and his body

looked plumper than ever.

His chin and neck were almost touching each other, but this did not stop him from liking beautiful women

at all.

He and Sophia were classmates from junior high until they were in university. She had always been the It

girl since she was young as she was beautiful. Thus, Christopher had always been dreaming of getting

her.

As for Sophia’s parents, they hoped that she would be taken care of for the rest of her life. Although he

was a little plump, he came from a wealthy family, so their daughter would be able to live a prosperous

life in the future.

“Dad, Mom, let Uncle G take you to the restaurant first. We’ll meet you there in a bit,” Sophia said.

“Alright, we’ll get going then.”

Then, she followed Christopher into his car where he immediately acted like a gentleman. “Sophia, today

is a great day for us. Come, let’s get a gift for you.”

“Let us go eat first,” she deflected. She did not want anything from him.

“You’re going to be my wife soon, and it’s only right for me to give you a gift.” Then, he drove her straight

to the jewelry store. Although she had repeatedly refused the offer, he still tried to force a diamond ring

on her finger.

Ultimately, she had no choice but to wear it on her ring finger. This made him grin so widely that his triple

chin was on full display.

“Sophia, you’re so beautiful today. Did you know how many boys were after you back in high school?

Now, I can finally call you mine,” he boasted. He had already made up his mind to bribe the media to

report their wedding. That way, he would look even more imposing.

The most beautiful girl in school was now his wife, which made it extremely wonderful!

However, Sophia had no intention of being his trophy wife. She looked at the time and said, “It’s time for

us to head over to the restaurant.”

Then, Christopher finally drove them toward the restaurant.

In the hospital corridor, a group of young nurses was stunned by the sight of a man in a white shirt, who

became the focus of all the women. He was like a protagonist out of a novel while the two bodyguards

made him appear cold and hostile with a

domineering aura.

Arthur stood at the door of the ward. He stopped outside for a few seconds before he reached out to

push open the door, expecting to see Sophia’s surprised face.

However, the ward was empty.

When a nurse passed by, he politely asked the nurse in a charming voice, “Excuse me, has the patient

here been discharged?”

It just so happened that the nurse happened to be in charge of the ward. “Mr. Goodwin is not discharged

yet,” she hurriedly answered. “He just went out for lunch. If I’m not wrong, his daughter is getting

engaged today.”

At the sound of this, his dark pupils suddenly shrank. “Engaged?”
