At that, Drake coughed and said, “Alright, I‘ll go and help your mother out. You should entertain Young
Master Weiss.”
After Drake left, Sophia began behaving somewhat restrainedly. Who‘d have thought something from
the TV would actually happen to her?! She thought Arthur‘s family was merely rich. However, not only
were they rich, they also dominated the world‘s most money–making businesses. To add to the list, his
family was mysterious and complex as well.
Arthur held her hand and kissed the back of it. “Did I scare you?”
“How would I not be scared when this is my first time hearing about your family‘s businesses?!” Sophia
didn‘t conceal her thoughts.
“My love for you has nothing to do with my family‘s assets,” said Arthur as he fixed her hair. “I‘m no
God. My life will wither away as you would, and I‘ll need to eat as well. I‘m just a living, breathing man
who has fallen in love with you, Miss Sophia Goodwin.”
Sophia burst into a giggle. “There‘s no need to humble yourself to comfort me. I feel really lucky to be
able to meet you and to be loved by you.”
“Me too,” Arthur cooed by her ear in a slightly hoarse voice.
Emma cooked up a feast that night, and the four enjoyed a pleasant dinner as well. After finally
realizing who Arthur truly was, the Goodwin couple no longer viewed the young man as some scourge.
Rather, he and Sophia made a pretty lovely couple the more they looked at it.
Nothing beat Sophia‘s love for her significant other. They just hoped that this affluent young man
wouldn‘t disappoint their daughter.
After dinner, Arthur took Sophia home, and while driving, he would keep his eyes on the few black
SUVs behind them every now and then. These vehicles had been following them since they left
Goodwin Residence.
It just so happened that Sophia wanted to get something when they were about to reach the apartment
complex‘s entrance, and after pulling over, she turned to Arthur. “Wait here for a few minutes. I‘ll be
right back.”
As Sophia went into the supermarket, one of the black SUVs instantly approached them, and two
stalwart bodyguards got out of it, greeting Arthur deferentially, “Young Master.”
“What are you guys doing here?” Arthur wasn‘t the happiest to see them.
“Old Madam Weiss has asked us to take you home.”
“I will go back myself.”
“Old Madam Weiss wants you to return home this time without taking Miss Goodwin for now.”
“I have my own plans.”
“This is for Miss Goodwin‘s safety. Also, it would not be suitable for her to show up at your succession
ceremony.”
Seeing that Sophia was already making a payment at the counter, Arthur ordered plainly, “Be gone.”
With that, the bodyguards hopped back into the black SUV and drove away. After Sophia entered the
car, the black SUVs continued following them as their number one job was to ensure their young
master‘s safety.
Outside, the sky was painted black with speckles of stars and the moon as an accent. • Inside, Sophia
came to the couch after taking a shower, and her long, white T–shirt accentuated her pair of fair,
slender legs. Meanwhile, Arthur put his laptop aside and spread his arms out for Sophia to embrace
him with a smile. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the lips, asking, “Are
you done with work?”
“Yeah.”
At that, she couldn‘t help nibbling his neck mischievously, teasing him like a cuddly kitten.
Arthur loved the moment and tilted his neck slightly to give her full access to his neck. Sophia, on the
other hand, blushed as she breathed in his unique scent.
However, she thought it felt amazing to tease him; she could bully him however she wanted, no matter
how affluent he was.
“Why do you like to bite me so much? Have I offended you in any way?” asked Arthur as his breathing
grew heavier.
“I don‘t know. Perhaps I have a problem with the rich.” Sophia made a random excuse.
Arthur burst into a chuckle and pulled her deeper into his arms. “You‘re held liable for teasing me, you
know?”
“What liability?” Sophia played dumb.
At that, Arthur held her chin. “What do you think it is, puppy?”
Sophia parted her lips. “Don‘t call me that.”
