Sophia raced down the stairs and as soon as she rushed into the living room, she startled Emma, who was watching TV. “Where are you off to?”
“Mom, I need to grab my parcel from the hub. It’s an urgent parcel,” Sophia lied.
After she had said that, she pushed open the door and left. She ran out of the house hastily and arrived at the gates. As soon as she yanked the gates open, she saw the man standing under the street lights. He had a smug smile on his face as he looked at
her.
He behaved as if he had already expected her to be rushing out of the door to come and see him.
“You…” Sophia glared at him in anger.
“Accompany me for a walk.” Arthur reached out to tug her hand.
She refused to move but she was forcefully pulled to the side of his car door by his strength and she panicked at that point. Then, she struggled to get away. “I don‘t want to go. You should leave.”
However, he refused to release her hand and the two of them just stood there holding hands while she made several attempts to get away from him.
“Arthur, let go of my hand.”
“Sophia, just be honest with me. Do you really have no feelings for me?” Arthur interrogated her. Although he had done a lot of nasty things, he had treated her quite well.
Sophia took the chance to extricate her hand as she turned in the other direction. “I don‘t. I don‘t fancy men like you at all.”
“Then, what kind of men do you prefer?” Arthur cast aside his usual high and mighty attitude as he persistently asked her.
“I don‘t need to tell you that.” She reckoned that he seemed slightly different tonight and there was a whiff of alcohol in the air and she frowned. “Did you drink?”
“Yes.” Arthur admitted to her.
However, subsequently, Sophia chided him angrily. “How dare you drink and drive!! Arthur, don‘t you know that it‘s illegal to drink and drive?!”
He was significantly speechless.
“If something bad happens, say if you hit a passerby or get into a traffic accident, then you would be doomed.” She suddenly lost her temper and she was angry that he did such an irresponsible thing.
“I didn‘t drink much. I just had a glass,” Arthur explained.
“That is unacceptable too. From now on, you must not drive if you‘ve taken even just a sip of alcohol, alright?” At that moment, Sophia behaved like a strict wife lecturing her husband
He seemed to be in good spirits suddenly as he revealed a smile and agreed in no time. “Sure, I promise not to drink and drive from now on and I won‘t drive if I plan to drink.”
Their interaction was clearly audible to the girl sitting five meters away with her car window wound down and it was brought to her ears by the night breeze because of the quietness of the surroundings. Emily couldn‘t believe her ears at all as she heard their conversation. Seriously?! Did these words come out of the mouth of the high and mighty Young Master Weiss?!
“I want to head back inside. You should leave.” After Sophia said that, she turned around and was about to walk off.
However, Arthur clutched her wrist. “Keep me company for another moment.”
Sophia didn‘t mind keeping him company so they stood by the entrance and basked under the warm light of the street lamp above their head. At that moment, they looked at each other quietly.
Suddenly, there was a car coming in their direction from afar and she acutely realized that it was her father‘s car. She panicked and pulled Arthur away. “It‘s my dad‘s car. Find somewhere to hide.”
Arthur noticed her frantic look and he quickly pulled her aside to hide on the other side of the SUV. Over this side, they had their backs against the road so they were masked beneath the large SUV and it was quite a safe spot.
However, as she came back to her senses, she realized that she had her back pressed against the car door with him in front of her. Instantly, her face flushed red.
