“Fine, we‘ll talk properly tomorrow.” With that, Richard leaped out of the window. Arthur frowned, but he didn’t give Richard another look as if he knew that the man wouldn‘t fall to his death.

Arthur didn‘t feel anything weird about himself these days, but everyone around him noticed the changes in him. He had become more indifferent, and even when faced with things he should be angry about, he simply responded calmly without much fluctuation in emotion.

Richard went back to his room and rested his head on his own arm, but he couldn‘t fall asleep despite his fatigue. He still felt that the matter with Arthur was of great importance, and he had to investigate this in order to find out what caused his best friend to act so coldly.

In the morning, Richard purposely went to the villa for breakfast. Even though it was a bit shameless, he still sat opposite Arthur and studied him with an unabashed stare.

Arthur simply swept an indifferent glance over him and continued his breakfast in elegance, undisturbed.

“You‘re here, Richard,” said Martha as she came over and greeted.

“Hello, Grandma. Long time no see,” responded Richard, returning the greeting politely.

“Long time no see, indeed! You‘re still handsome like always,” Martha praised before she continued to ask, “Is your grandfather still in good health?”

“Yes, he‘s still up and about.”

Martha nodded, then looked toward Arthur. “Artie, why don‘t you take Richard on a walk after breakfast? You must have a lot to catch up on.”

“I still have some matters to attend to. I don‘t have time for him.” Arthur unexpectedly declined the suggestion.

Richard felt like his heart had been stabbed as he said to Martha, “It‘s okay, Grandma. I‘m used to doing things alone.”

“Come here, Richard. I have something to ask you about,” Martha called him over to a wing at the side of the building.

Richard also hastily got up and followed. Martha looked at him worriedly and said, “Richard, did you notice anything wrong with my grandson? I feel like he has completely changed after coming back this time.‘

“Yes! I noticed that too, Grandma.”

“I wonder what happened to him; he acts as if he doesn‘t care about family anymore. He doesn‘t even look excited about his wedding, and he just treats it like a job he‘s supposed to do. I don‘t understand him at all.”

“Grandma, when did this change happen?”

“The day after he came back. When he came home, he still hugged me happily and acted like a spoiled child, but now, it seems like he can‘t even stand it when I speak more than two sentences. Oh, dear!” Martha was also heart–broken.

“Doesn‘t Arthur realize that himself?”

“He seems fine, but also unusual at the same time. I even asked him to see a doctor, but the doctor couldn‘t find anything wrong with him either. He just said that Arthur has had a change in personality, and his emotions and feelings have toned down. He‘s in good health, and there‘s nothing wrong in that aspect.”

“Can you get the butler to give me a copy of Arthur‘s itinerary when he comes back? I‘ll look into it.” Richard was determined to carry out the investigation.

“I‘ll leave it to you.” Martha was also terribly worried. Her grandson had turned into a cold and aloof person, and she was anxious about it.

Meanwhile, in the laboratory, Johnny was also gathering data on Arthur‘s recent

emotional changes. In the end, he found out that his medicine had destroyed Arthur‘s nervous system as a side effect, robbing the man of his emotions.

Something was wrong with Arthur‘s emotional mechanism, but Johnny‘s wife and daughter were still in the dark about this as they were still rejoicing over the wedding.

Johnny thought that he should observe for a while longer, hoping that these symptoms would heal with time. He couldn‘t offer a better treatment, after all.

Nonetheless, Johnny knew that if his daughter married Arthur, he wouldn‘t have to worry about funds for his laboratory anymore. He could make the best use of this laboratory and invent even more wondrous things than this. By then, he would be famous all over the world.

Thus, out of concern for his own prestige, he decided not to cure Arthur. He could treat the man as a research subject so that more observations could be carried out.

Save for him and his wife, no one else knew about this.

In the evening, a private plane landed safely at Flor International Airport.

When they exited the airport, the cars that would ferry them were already there. Anastasia went with Elliot, while Sophia and Grace got into another car. As Sophia felt the evening breeze of this country on her face, she couldn‘t help the tears welling up in her eyes. She felt as if there was a hint of kinship in the air.

She was breathing the same air in this country, just like him. She would be able to see him soon.

“Don‘t cry, Sophia. You’ll be able to see Young Master Weiss soon.” Grace considerately passed her a napkin and comforted her.

“Thank you.” Sophia suppressed the sorrow inside her. No one could understand her feelings then, her joy of seeing him soon, and also the despair that would ensue when she witnessed his wedding.

Shrouded in the curtain of night, Flor was both bustling and unfamiliar. The cars were headed toward the horizon in the distance.

Finally, after two hours, they arrived at the villa where the guests would be lodged. Under the night sky, the villa looked magnificent and large as if it were a huge beast crouched on the ground.

Sophia looked at the huge villa which was akin to castles and palaces. It took up almost a million hectares, and the garden formed a patchwork pattern in the night. This definitely wasn‘t any ordinary rich person‘s house.

“Wow! Young Master Weiss is so wealthy!” Grace was also in shock.

The butler brought a few people along to welcome them, then led them to the guest rooms prepared beforehand. Anastasia took Elliot‘s hand and whispered in his ear, “The Weiss Residence feels like an ancient palace to me.”

“Yes, the system is quite strict here, and the difference in classes is clear as day.” Elliot nodded.

Anastasia couldn‘t help but be stunned. She was more used to the relaxed atmosphere back home.

The woman then turned to look at Sophia and said, “Sophia, you can rest for today, and we‘ll talk about everything tomorrow, okay?”

“Okay, Anastasia. I won‘t do anything rash.” Sophia nodded as she promised.

She was already grateful enough to be able to set foot in here, so she wouldn‘t cause any trouble for Anastasia. Even though she could hardly suppress her urge right now, she would do her best to rein it in.

As soon as Anastasia and Elliot arrived at their room, someone knocked on their door. Elliot opened the door to see Richard standing at the entrance. In delighted surprise, he immediately gave his best friend a hug, and Richard also squeezed him back tightly. Then, Richard mused that this was the right way best friends should treat each other.

After Richard came in, he greeted Anastasia, “Hello, Anastasia.”

“Hi, Richard.” Anastasia was also on familiar terms with him.

“Elliot, there really is something wrong with Artie.”

“What is it?”

“He seems to have changed completely, and he‘s indifferent about everything as if nothing could get him excited or emotional at all. He has lost all emotion toward everything. Even when he sees us, he treats us like mere acquaintances,” Richard said helplessly.

Elliot frowned. “How could this be? When I met him last time, we were still so close to each other.”

“I know, right? His grandmother told me that he changed on the day after his return, and even though he‘s going to get married, he doesn‘t look happy about it at all. It‘s as if getting married carries the same weight as having a meal to him.”

“Is he marrying the girl he likes?” Anastasia couldn‘t help but ask curiously.

Richard shook his head. “I have yet to meet that girl, but I think that Artie is only going through with the wedding because it‘s protocol. I don‘t think love is involved here.”

“Did his grandmother ask him to have this wedding?” Anastasia asked again.
