Later that night, the maids prepared dinner for Sophia, who thought she was going to enjoy her meal alone until Arthur showed up and had his dinner with her. At that instant, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable, wishing this had happened back in their country because she would have been so happy about it. Nonetheless, the maids were standing right beside them, adding food for them while watching them dine. What’s going on, Arthur? You have a fiancée, and you’re getting married in two days, yet here you are, dining with another woman.
On the other hand, Arthur appeared surprisingly natural, glimpsing Sophia’s reaction every once in a while until he noticed her picking at her meal in an absent-minded manner. “What’s wrong? You don’t like the food?” he asked with a deep voice.
“Oh, of course not. I’m just not feeling that hungry.” Sophia shook her head.
When she was done with her meal, she returned to her bedroom shortly before she got a call from Anastasia, who asked her about her whereabouts because she had gone looking for her in her room.
“Hey, Anastasia… I’m currently staying in the manor’s main building. It’s Young Master Weiss’ idea, apparently.”
“Oh wow, that sounds great! He can take good care of you in that case.” Anastasia was happy for her.
“Come on, Anastasia. Stop pulling my leg. You know he is almost getting married, so why is he keeping me by his side?” Sophia smiled bitterly.
“Look, Sophia. Just stay with him patiently. I believe he still loves you. The reason he doesn’t remember you is that he is suffering from memory loss.” Anastasia consoled Sophia because she knew the actual reason behind Arthur’s amnesia. Therefore, she truly believed that
Sophia was the Mrs. Right meant for Arthur, while the Jennings Family would soon have to pay the ultimate price for the bad deeds they had done. In the meantime, Sophia had no choice but to stay by Arthur’s side because she couldn’t go anywhere either in her current condition, but deep down, she told herself that she would try her best to keep her distance from Arthur.
Meanwhile, a maid, who was in the garden, reached for her phone and dialed Emily’s number. “Hello.”
“There is something I want to tell you, Miss Jennings. Young Master Weiss just arranged a guest room next to his bedroom for Sophia and even dined with her earlier tonight. If you ask me, they seemed to be interacting with each other pretty intimately.”
“What? What a b*tch! How shameless of her to seduce Artie knowing that I’m about to marry him!” Emily was exasperated.
“Miss Jennings, I suggest that you move in here right away. After all, there are only 2 more days until your wedding, so you must make sure nothing goes wrong!”
“Alright, I’m moving in tomorrow.” Emily had no choice but to postpone her plan to the next day, thinking it was too late for her to do that. Soon, she mentioned what she had just learned to her mother, Vera, who also agreed that Sophia was trying to ruin her daughter’s wedding. For that, Vera decided to confront Sophia
the next day to make her leave Arthur’s manor, or she would smear her name and make her a sinner by telling the outside world that she was the one who seduced Arthur.
In the meantime, Sophia decided to take a shower despite the overwhelming pain around her ankle when it was 9.00PM. Not long after she entered the bathroom, someone knocked on her room door, but when she didn’t answer it, the man standing outside frowned and wondered whether she was already asleep.
Is she in bed already? But it’s only 9.00PM now. There is no way she sleeps so early. In fact, Arthur was thinking of telling the maid to prepare him some supper just when he thought he should also ask her about that since she didn’t eat much during dinner. Thus, he turned the doorknob and opened it, easily entering the room as the door wasn’t locked. “Are you there, Sophia?” Arthur called out to the lady.
Nevertheless, Arthur’s response was only met with silence. Noticing how tidy the room was, he began to believe Sophia was not in her room but continued to wonder where she could be in her condition.
Just when he was about to leave the room, he suddenly heard a scream that was filled with horror and fear from the bathroom. “Ah…” As his heart skipped a beat, he barged into the bathroom without hesitation, only to see the naked lady lying on the tiled floor after her shower.
