“Hmph! You‘re used to a life of opulence since young and if you plan on maintaining your original
lifestyle, then you would need to try hard at getting a job,” Martha said this derisively and she seemed
to relish in watching him try. She was quite shocked to find her grandson behaving with so much
integrity over a girl.
“Don‘t worry, Grandma. I will be able to take care of myself.” Having said that, he attempted to end the
conversation.
On the other hand, she hastily yelled out, “Artie, are you sure that you want to go against my will just
for that girl?”
“Grandma, her name is Sophia Goodwin and you can address her as Sophia.”
“Are you guys in a relationship?”
“Yes!” Arthur admitted.
“Do you plan on marrying her?” Martha‘s eyes flickered and it looked like her grandson had met his true
love.
“Grandma, let‘s not talk about this for now. I‘m sorry to trouble you, but you will have to handle the
family business for now. Give me some time.”
At that point, she could not help her thoughts as she narrowed her eyes. She knew his personality well
and she felt that time would prove whether he was truly in love with Sophia. She would wait and see for
herself by then.
However, she reckoned that her decision to freeze all of the bank accounts he held was the right one
as it was important to have him go through some hardships in life.
Back home, Sophia moved into her own apartment and she went behind her parents‘ back to live with
Arthur.
Coincidentally, her apartment was located extremely close to Presgrave Group, so she claimed that it
was for the sake of work convenience, which prompted no reason for Drake and Emma to doubt her
words.
Despite living in the same space, Sophia and Arthur stayed in separate rooms, so they were not
technically in cohabitation.
After Arthur ended the phone call with his grandma, he instantly felt a wave of relief and he glanced at
Sophia, who was currently doing the laundry on the balcony, before he initiated his help to her.
Since he was young, he had never done any chores but was happy to help out despite
having to do all that now.
“Hmm, are you a C cup?” He held her pink undergarment in his hand and studied it.
At that sight, Sophia blushed slightly and reached out to grab it from him. “Why are you studying this so
intently?”
Arthur took out another pink undergarment from the washing machine and she instantly pounced on
him to snatch it away from him. “You should just go and relax on the couch. I can do this myself.”
“I wanna help.” Having said that, he reached out and took out some clothes to hang them.
After Sophia finished hanging out the washing, she saw him seated on the couch and he was busy
tapping away on his laptop. Out of curiosity, she inched closer and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Investing in the stock market.”
“I thought all of your assets were frozen?” She blinked. Where did he get the
money to invest in the stock market?
“I took out a loan.”
“From who? From your friends?”
“No, I just went to a bank.”
“Huh?! Arthur, you shouldn‘t take up a loan like how you borrow a pen! Do you realize how high the
interest is? You should settle the loan right away. I‘ll bear the interest.” Sophia instantly stopped him.
However, he grinned confidently. “Don‘t worry. I‘ll be able to settle the loan within a week.”
Despite not being as optimistic as him, she still had some savings which she could use to help settle
the loan when it was due.
“Sophia, let‘s have lunch at the same restaurant we went to last night! I like the food.” Arthur folded his
laptop shut and looked at her expectantly.
At that moment, she was tickled by the idea. Last night, she had brought him to try out a seafood
platter that was extremely spicy and she thought that his picky palate would not be able to tolerate that.
However, he actually enjoyed the meal very much and the side dishes he tried from last night amazed
him.
“Sure, let‘s go for lunch at the same restaurant. Are you sure that you’re fine with it
though?” she asked out of curiosity because she was afraid that he would get an upset stomach from
the spicy food.
As much as Arthur seemed like a spoiled brat, he actually liked the food that was enjoyed by the
general public. Frankly, they even tasted much better than the ones prepared by the five–star chef he
brought back with him from abroad.
The restaurant that he pestered Sophia to head for lunch consisted of several awestruck waitresses,
thanks to his appearance from last night. Surprised to see his return today, they blushed and tried to
find excuses to come over and sneak furtive looks at him as their hearts thudded hard.
Furthermore, they were envious of Sophia for having such a handsome boyfriend.
On the other hand, Sophia enjoyed the food from this restaurant as equally as Arthur did. Despite its
low popularity with the crowd, the food was very delicious
