Arthur was still a mysterious person to her; she only knew of his last name until today. Since she didn’t know what he would prefer and thus to show him the best of her.
At the same time, Arthur was having a phone call with his grandmother, Elizabeth, who was informing him on something.
“Artie, please find a local fortune teller to determine which place is suitable for your grandfather’s tomb. It is his wish to be buried in his homeland.”
“Sure, Grandma. I’ll stay for a little longer
in the country to search for the perfect
spot for Grandpa,” he promised.
“Alright. Do inform us once everything is
settled. We’ll bring him back to the
country.”
“Okay. I’ll find it as soon as possible,” responded Arthur.
“Relax while you can. Don’t push yourself too much. You should be having fun when you’re on a trip.” Elizabeth was
concerned about his personal life as their family had amassed enough fortune for their younger generations to lead a life of leisure.
Hearing the descending footsteps, hel turned his head before he was paralyzed in confusion. While she was still talking on the line, his haffled mind was buzzing and he didn’t hear a thing.
Hence, he asked, ‘Grandma, what did you just say
I said that your grandfather is afraid of water, so find somewhere near a mountain if possible.” She trusted fortune tellers.
“Got it.” Arthur turned his head back to pay attention to the conversation.
Elizabeth exclaimed. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone back to the country. I can’t wait!”
“Grandma, once I’ve found a spot for Grandpa, you can come back for a trip with Mom and Dad,’ he said.
“Alright then. Let’s talk another time.”
As soon as Martha hung up the phone from the other end, Arthur glanced at the phone in his hand. Meanwhile, Sophia sat on the couch like a lady waiting to attend a ball.
The evening gown she had on was a dress that she had spent a fortune on abroad and the quality of the gown was impeccable.
Since young, she had been brought up
with tender, loving care. As she lacked
nothing at all, she was used to the finer
things in life.
“Are you going to seduce some man by dressing up? Arthur scornfully remarked.
She took the opportunity to jokingly reply, “You’re the only man here right now, though.”
In response, Arthur scoffed, “Well, you’re not pretty enough to seduce me.”
