“Great idea. I’ll introduce you to other family members along our way too.” Then, they headed outside..
Every single time they bumped into the Presgraves, Harriet never failed to remember their names and relationship, impressing Anastasia with her sharp memory despite the old woman being in her 80s. While Anastasia was busy understanding more about her family, Elliot was busy welcoming some important guests from abroad.
At the same time, it was another same old day of cooping in the villa for Sophia, who was dying from boredom in Villa
No. 58. Although Arthur was present as well, he had been using his laptop in the living room the whole time. When she was staring at the sea from the balcony, she heard a voice coming from the courtyard. “Sophia.”
Jacob! She jumped to her feet in surprise.
“Sophia, let’s go to the beach and have fun!” Jacob was sitting on a quad bike to take her for a ride.
The look of ecstasy on Sophia’s face illustrated her desire to go. “Wait for me!”
She went downstairs in great haste and, as soon as she met Arthur’s cold gaze, she stopped in her tracks.
“You’re not allowed to go out, he responded icily as he had heard Jacob too.
‘Please, Young Master Weiss. We can have fun on the island anyway. Can’t I just go out and play?” Sophia interlaced her hands together and pleaded with beady eyes.
“No can do.” However, Arthur stared at the laptop screen and rejected her like a strict and heartless parent.
Gazing at the handsome face, she bit her lips in frustration.
I’ll only hang out for half an hour, okay?” Sophia made a concession, which was ignored by Arthur..
“Twenty minutes! Or ten minutes! I’ll return after just one ride.” Her sole wish was to head outside, no matter how short the time would be.
“Do you like him that much?” He raised his head with a disdainful look.
“No. I just wanna play by the beach.” She was being honest with her answer. No one including her would want to waste the chance to play outside..
Still, Arthur was sure that Sophia liked Jacob as he announced cruelly, “You’re not going anywhere today.”
She pulled a long face. “Then, I’ll inform him about it.”
With that being said, she went outside to tell Jacob, “Jacob, I’m afraid I come along. I have things to do.”
“What’s there to do when we should be having fun right now?” Jacob was disappointed, for his plan to create wonderful memories with Sophia by the beach had gone out of the window.
“Sorry, but I really can’t go.” She sighed. “Let’s hang out next time!”
“Sophia, who are you staying with?” asked a curious Jacob.
“I…” Before Sophia could even finish her words, she heard footsteps behind her and she turned around, only to see Arthur sauntering over in a black shirt.
Jacob was stupefied by the man’s appearance as well. Although Jacob believed that he was not that in comparison with the anonymous man, who seemed to be of the same age, he felt inferior for some reason.
Even though the man was merely sanding at the yard, he was even more dazzling than the sun with that surreal visuals and stature. The sophisticated aura emanated from him was that of fostered by an inherent ego, not his good looks.
“Erm… He’s my… Sophia was racking her brain to find a plausible identity for Arthur, but in vain. Should I say that he’s my master? That will be embarrassing.
Meanwhile, Jacob already had his guesses.. Is that her boyfriend? That’s why they’re staying in the same house.
“Sophia, is this your boyfriend? He let out an awkward smile.
“Erm….N-No-” She waved her hand in denial.
Suddenly, Arthur, who was standing next to her, piped up. ‘Yes, I am. So, stay away from her.”
She looked at him in disbelief. What is he doing?
“My bad. Sorry for the disturbance.” Jacob then left with the quad bike sensibly.
After standing on the spot for a while, Sophia smacked her own head upon her realization. My mission is to seduce Arthur! Not having fun! Only then, I can. seek forgiveness for losing the necklace. Now’s my chance since we’re living under the same roof!
The epiphany expanged her sadness at once as she headed toward the parlor. While Arthur was using the laptop on the couch, she broke the silence. “The weather is killing me. I’m melting!”
Next, she removed her thin outerwear to reveal her strip dress, which caused him to glance at her before focasing on his work again.
Right then, a hyping music could be heard from the beach and the rhythm filled the living room before a lightbulb went over her head. Sophia had been attending dancing classes since young and thus an impromptu dance was a no brainer for her.
After tying the outerwear around her waist to enhance her slim figure, she began to dance along the music in the spacious room.
It wasn’t until then did the man raise his head at her with a frown as frustration was bubbling up in him.
A graceful and elegant Sophia danced along the rhythm by twirling her body. and swirling her arms to execute the clean moves with seamless flexibility.
Initially, Arthur was irritated by the jarring music, but he now couldn’t shift his gaze from the dancing girl. From staring blankly to watching her performance with delight, he had set the laptop aside on the fly.
Dance was a wordless means of communication via souls. When she noticed that he was watching her attentively, she smiled lightly as a calculative glint flickered in her bright eyes.
As the music was coming to an end, she began spinning toward the man, who was in the middle of the living room. Finally, she feigned fatigue before falling into his arms.
Noticing her fumbling steps, Arthur stretched out his arms instinctively to catch her as she did the ending pose in his embrace before rising to her feet with a smile. I feel refreshed now. Oh, I’m already sweating. Guess I gotta go take a bath.
Before he could even realize it, Sophia had already headed upstairs and left him zoned out while mesmerizing the soft sensation on his fingertips, which was so vague as if he hadn’t hugged her waist during that fleet second..
As soon as she returned to her room, she took a deep breath and patted her chest. It wasn’t until then did the embarrassment struck upon her for dancing unreservedly in front of the man.
Sophia opened the wardrobe and looked at the tight red dress, which made her sigh in a dilemma. Should I wear it? 1 mean, why not? If I can’t make him fall for me within one year, I’ll be a dead meat! So, why shouldn’t I try my best when I still get the chance to do so?
Then, she took a shower before wearing perfume and putting on makeup. After a full makeover, she saw a beautiful girl in red from the mirror.
Arthur was still a mysterious person to her; she only knew of his last name until today. Since she didn’t know what he would prefer and thus to show him the best of her.
At the same time, Arthur was having a phone call with his grandmother, Elizabeth, who was informing him on something.
“Artie, please find a local fortune teller to determine which place is suitable for your grandfather’s tomb. It is his wish to be buried in his homeland.”
