Drake and his wife found themselves in a terrible predicament. They couldn’t help but think, we thought that marrying off our daughter would be a joyful occasion, but the wedding gift that the other side is asking for seems ridiculous.
“Don’t tell me you’re hesitant to give it up, Drake.” Edmund continued in his – pursuit.
“Well, that’s not really true. We’ll get ready for our part of the wedding gift, but this land is under my father’s name. I don’t think I have much of a say in this.”
“However, I heard that you inherited the land from him. Certainly, you can make that decision. We also want our children to have a nicer place to live once they marry, wouldn’t you agree? You will provide the land, and we will assist in the construction of a villa. In the end, it’s for the benefit of our children.”
“Mr. and Mrs. York, I’m not too choosy about where I live. Also, I have my own so after Christopher and I get married, we can just move into my apartment,” Sophia said.
“An apartment? That can’t be right. Christopher can’t live in an apartment. We have always given him the best of everything since he was a child, in case you didn’t know,” Margaret refuted in a strong manner and made it sound like his son was a rare and precious gem.
A large black SUV pulled up in front of the restaurant’s entrance. The bodyguard stepped out of the vehicle to open the rear passenger seat door. The man’s slender and long legs stepped out and he walked right inside the restaurant.
“Do you have any reservations, sir?”
“We’re here to look for someone,” his bodyguard answered.
Arthur asked, “Where is The Prema Room?”
“Oh! This way, sir.” The server catered to their needs with enthusiasm. While directing them to The Prema Room, the waitress could not resist catching a glimpse of the male visitor. He is extremely attractive! Is he a celebrity?
At the same time, the atmosphere in The Prema Room had become a little awkward. The York Family was keen about getting that piece of land, but the Goodwin Family was in a dilemma.
The room’s door was pushed open at this moment and the sweet voice of the waitress welcoming someone was heard shortly after. “Please enter, sir.”
The two families turned their heads and glanced at the door in surprise while a noble looking man entered the room.
Sophia was so shocked when she saw the man that she jumped from her seat. “Mr. Weiss, why are you here?” she asked, looking at the man with bewilderment.
Arthur shifted his eyes from the two families in their seats to the plump man next to Sophia. He narrowed his eyes as he thought, is this the man she’s going to marry? Is she blind? This man does not deserve to be with her.
When Drake and his wife saw the man, they were shocked as well and would never intentionally upset him.
Furthermore, their daughter owed him a family heirloom.
As Christopher saw the uninvited guest, something inside his mind warned him to be cautious of this man. So, he rose up and said in an unpleasant tone, “Who are you? Do you not realize that this is a private session? Hurry and leave!”
When Sophia detected Christopher’s unpleasant tone, she hurriedly introduced him to Arthur. “This is my friend, Christopher.”
“Sophia, what do you think this means? How can you invite a male friend to our engagement party?” Christopher was furious. When he saw that this man was truly exceptional, he became really angry.
“No, that’s not what it is.” She waved her hands to indicate that he had misunderstood. She then reached out her hands to push and drag Arthur toward the door. “Mr. Weiss, why don’t we talk about this outside?”
Arthur turned around and followed her to the door.
Sophia closed the door behind her once they were outside. “Young Master Weiss, why are you here?!” she asked, feeling confused.
“Are you going to get married to that pig inside there?” he laughed as if he had just seen a joke.
An embarrassed Sophia said, “Don’t say such rude things about him, will you?”
“Aren’t you afraid that he’ll squash you?” He didn’t pay attention to her and kept making nasty remarks.
Her face immediately turned red with embarrassment when she heard that. Can’t this man at least respect me?
“Yes, Young Master Weiss. I’m getting engaged soon and no longer can serve you. Please revoke our agreement,” she said with a serious expression.
She believed that the only way to resolve her father’s debt was to sever ties with Arthur.
“I disagree; you cannot leave my side for a whole year.” He crossed his arms and gave her a harsh glare.
Sophia choked when she heard that. Since she was determined to have nothing to do with him, she could only say, “In short, I’m getting engaged. I’m going to get married to someone else. So, all I can say is that from now on, I’ll only stay on the side of the man I’m going to marry.”
