Once Arthur was gone, Sophia‘s eyes became teary again. When she gazed at the bed, a smile
appeared on her lips as she knew she was not going to regret it forever.
Even if he was not the one who would walk down the aisle with her–or even not walking down one at
all–she acknowledged him as the man whom she loved the most in this lifetime.
Fifteen minutes later, he rushed upstairs with every eye drop he could find in the drugstore.
Momentarily stunned, she picked the one she normally used and asked him to help her with it before
lying on the bed.
He looked at her peaceful expression and landed a soft kiss on her forehead. He was not going to go
anywhere; he would stay by her side until her eyes got better.
At that moment, his phone rang before he looked at it with a frown. Although it was an important call,
he did not answer it nevertheless.
During noon, they had lunch with Elliot and Anastasia, and the atmosphere was great. While the
women chatted away about jewelry, the men listened to them attentively.
Then, Elliot accompanied Anastasia to the company to deal with some work whereas Arthur and
Sophia returned home.
She was exhausted by the time they got home, so he stayed by her side until she drifted into
dreamland.
It was not until then that he made a phone call and the receiver picked up the line immediately. “Young
Master Weiss, where are you?”
“What‘s the matter?”
“Three days ago, the family‘s bank account was short of one billion. We need you to come back to look
into it.”
“I‘ll leave it to you.”
“Young Master Weiss, it‘s not only about the money. It‘s about the company‘s succession too. You must
come over.”
The glint in Arthur‘s eyes simmered. “Alright. I‘ll return soon.”
“Please be back within a week.”
“You can trust me with that.” After ending the call, he let out a sigh.
In the next three days, Arthur and Sophia barely went downstairs other than meal time. It was as if
nothing could hinder their love after having broken through that intimate stage. Nothing mattered more
than spending time together with each other.
Back in Goodwin Residence, Drake heard the news of Sophia‘s boyfriend from Emma, which sparked
the curiosity of the man‘s identity. Although he could accept a guy with a normal background, it was
important for him to be hard–working in life.
Since the family business would be taken over by Sophia, it was best for her to find someone who was
capable in handling company affairs so as to lead a better life.
“Honey, I‘m so curious about the guy. Why don‘t we take a look in secret?” Emma had not been eating
or sleeping well these days. Nothing seemed to pique her interest, yet she was eager to know what
kind of man her daughter was dating.
A parent would have to send their daughter away when they got married someday and the elderly
couple had come to terms with it. Not to mention that Sophia was turning twenty–four this year, which
was about the appropriate age to start thinking about marriage.
Drake shared the same thought as well and he nodded in agreement. “I‘ll have someone positioned
after them to capture some photos for us. We mustn‘t surprise them.”
“Okay. Ask your assistant to do so. Tell him to take a clear picture of the man‘s face, not his back,”
requested Emma.
At the drop of a hat, he contacted his assistant to hide at either the entrance of Sophia‘s neighborhood
or the underground parking lot. As the pictures were compulsory to be delivered by today, the assistant
hit the road instantly to accomplish his mission as ordered.
On one hand, Sophia was cuddling in Arthur‘s arms on the couch at home, sniffing his scent as
happiness filled her to the brim.
He revealed his casual and gentle side of an ideal boyfriend to her, which was unknown to anyone
else.
The simple gray T–shirt looked captivating on him. Despite the ordinary fabric, it looked like a high–end
custom made design since he was wearing it. The aura of a young master dissipated as his fringe
covered his forehead, making him look younger and more handsome. He could easily make one‘s
heart skip a beat at first sight while looking like that.
