Chapter 21

William knew that Sophie would listen most attentively to Julia.Julia had worked hard to become successful overseas before returning to the Queen family.When Ariana and Julia opened the door and saw William, neither of them seemed particularly pleased or welcoming.Ariana had always been straightforward, never one to mince words, nor was she known for her temper. "We weren't expecting you, O'great William Locke. What are your orders, hmm?"Previously, she had reluctantly tolerated William because Sophie loved him. But now, she felt free to speak her mind.William paused for a moment before presenting the luxurious gifts he had brought with him.With a surprisingly humble attitude, he said, "Please, could you help me persuade Sophie to give me another chance?"Ariana recalled the time when Elliot had told them that Sophie had nearly died. Not only had William refused to save her, but he had even kicked her aside to get her out of the way.The memory filled Ariana with such fur

The peaceful, cozy atmosphere was abruptly shattered by the doorbell.William stormed into the house before Sophie's butler could stop him."William! I've had enough of you!" Sophie snapped, her irritation rising sharply.She couldn't understand why William was acting this way.In the past, he had always seemed indifferent when they were together, and now, his behavior made no sense.She was already disgusted by William's pretense of being deeply in love with her, a notion Ariana had pushed so fervently."I only sided with Lily because I felt I owed it to her. You've been the only woman in my heart from day one. I was already planning to marry you after Lily won her competition!"I didn't know she'd be so cruel and try to kill you!

The wedding venue was lavishly decorated for their special day.Photos of Elliot and Sophie, both smiling, were displayed on billboards, and even public transportation had congratulatory messages posted on them.Elliot knew that Sophie loved white camellia, so he had it specially flown to the wedding venue for her.As a little girl, Sophie had often dreamed of wearing a pink wedding dress, saying that white seemed too plain and sad.Elliot had remembered this wish for years, and now he could fulfill it by having her wear a simple yet elegant pink wedding dress.The scene felt like something out of a fantasy novel.Rainbow-colored bubbles floated through the air, and the emerald-green lawn had been neatly trimmed, creating a unique childhood memory.People, from babies to the elderly, went about their lives joyfully.The sunlight at four in the afternoon that day was especially warm, and a rainbow appeared in the sky after a recent rain shower.Elliot held Sophie's hand as they

Sophie was still in shock as she looked at the tourist guide Elliot had prepared for their trip. "So… Did you plan all of this from the start?"Elliot rubbed her head. "I wouldn't put it that way. I only started making plans after you told me you wanted to go on a trip.""What about the guests? And Mom?"Sophie suddenly seemed worried, but Elliot merely smiled and took her into his arms. "They've given us their full support. Plus, they think it's about time we took a trip to relax."Elliot had begun studying the Locke family's business the very day he brought Sophie home. He then altered the nature of his business to attract their clients, ensuring that William would no longer be able to harm Sophie.When Sophie mentioned wanting to go on a trip for their wedding, Elliot deliberately arranged a fake wedding to stall William.The next few days of their lives would forever be unforgettable for Sophie.They walked along Vyrka's streets, stepping over fallen leaves and strolling und
