Jacob! She jumped to her feet in surprise.
“Sophia, let’s go to the beach and have fun!” Jacob was sitting on a quad bike to take her for a ride.
The look of ecstasy on Sophia’s face illustrated her desire to go. “Wait for me!”
She went downstairs in great haste and, as soon as she met Arthur’s cold gaze, she stopped in her tracks.
“You’re not allowed to go out, he responded icily as he had heard Jacob too.
‘Please, Young Master Weiss. We can have fun on the island anyway. Can’t I just go out and play?” Sophia interlaced her
hands together and pleaded with beady eyes.
“No can do.” However, Arthur stared at the laptop screen and rejected her like a strict and heartless parent.
Gazing at the handsome face, she bit her lips in frustration.
I’ll only hang out for half an hour, okay?” Sophia made a concession, which was ignored by Arthur..
“Twenty minutes! Or ten minutes! I’ll return after just one ride.” Her sole wish was to head outside, no matter how short the time would be.
“Do you like him that much?” He raised his head with a disdainful look.
“No. I just wanna play by the beach.” She was being honest with her answer. No one including her would want to waste the chance to play outside..
Still, Arthur was sure that Sophia liked Jacob as he announced cruelly, “You’re not going anywhere today.”
She pulled a long face. “Then, I’ll inform him about it.”
With that being said, she went outside to
tell Jacob, “Jacob, I’m afraid I come along. I have things to do.”
“What’s there to do when we should be having fun right now?” Jacob was disappointed, for his plan to create wonderful memories with Sophia by the beach had gone out of the window.
“Sorry, but I really can’t go.” She sighed. “Let’s hang out next time!”
“Sophia, who are you staying with?” asked a curious Jacob.
“I…” Before Sophia could even finish her words, she heard footsteps behind her and she turned around, only to see Arthur sauntering over in a black shirt.
Jacob was stupefied by the man’s appearance as well. Although Jacob believed that he was not that in comparison with the anonymous man, who seemed to be of the same age, he felt inferior for some reason.
Even though the man was merely sanding at the yard, he was even more dazzling than the sun with that surreal visuals and stature. The sophisticated aura emanated from him was that of fostered by an inherent ego, not his good looks.
