Chapter 429 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

The peak of the mountain was a flat, grassy field with no trees to be seen. The field of grass stretching far into the horizon made it seem like they were closer to the sky.

The fortune teller began rattling off calculations based on the complex formulas of his profession. While Sophia was left confused by his words, Arthur nodded along as if he understood what was being said.

That surprised her. Had Arthur learned. how to tell fortunes just from reading books on the subject over the past few days?

No way! Just how strong of a learner was he?

The fortune teller pointed to a spot halfway up a mountain. “Young Master that is the spot I have selected for your grandfather. It is surrounded by mountains, which means he would be surrounded by protectors. It is a great spot.”

Arthur stared at the spot being pointed at. It had a great view while being surrounded on all sides by mountains. There was nothing that loomed over it, which meant there was no weird imbalance. It was certainly a good spot.

He had planned to purchase the entire mountain as his grandfather’s eternal resting place if he could find a good spot.

The mountain peak was covered in grass that came up to their knees. It was an incredible sight to behold. Standing beside him, Sophia solemnly listened to the lecture on fortune telling.

The fortune teller began walking in excitement with Arthur following behind him. Enthralled by the lecture, she followed after them.

The fortune teller came to a stop. Suddenly, something near her began wriggling, startling her. It was a sunbathing snake that was currently licking the air in her direction while rearing up as if to attack her. “Aah!” When she saw the snake, she hurriedly darted to the side. However, a greater danger awaited her, for she had lost her balance and was about to roll off the side of the mountain.

“Sophia!” As the person standing closest to her, Arthur moved to catch her. In doing so, he lost his balance as well.

“Sir!” The bodyguards charged over.

It was too late..

They watched as Arthur and Sophia rolled across the grass and over the side of the mountain.

All Sophia knew was that she was being held in a tight embrace while her face was pressed hard against Arthur’s muscular chest. Despite rolling down the hill, he did not let her go at all. Thankfully, they soon arrived at a flat piece of land that stopped their descent.

The moment they stopped rolling, she pulled her face away from his chest. Her nostrils were filled with his cedar-scented cologne and the smell of grass. She looked up to find that he was bleeding from a cut on his forehead while she had come out of the experience unscathed.

“You’re hurt!” Sophia hurriedly got off of

Arthur. They were both covered in dirt and grass. The bodyguards leaped down to them, and two of them helped Arthur up to his feet. “Are you alright, sir?”

He was feeling fine, other than the cut on his forehead that had been caused by a sharp tree branch and the various scrapes that littered his hands.

“I’m fine.” He dusted himself off before turning to look at her. “Did the snake bite you?”

“No, it didn’t.” She shook her head. Her face was still stark white from shock.

As they climbed back up to the peak, her gaze remained fixed on him. Her heart was pounding. When they rolled down the side of the hill, he had wrapped an arm tightly around her waist while his other hand pressed her head against his chest. He had done it just to ensure she would not be injured.

However, that meant he was unable to protect himself during the fall.

Her blood was rushing. The high and mighty young master had actually risked himself to protect her.

What if she had fallen off a high cliff instead? From how tightly he had wrapped himself around her, would he fall with her as well?

The bodyguards pulled out a first-aid kit, then cleaned and dressed the bleeding cut on Arthur’s forehead.

The fortune teller was scared out of his wits by the dangerous situation Arthur had placed himself in.

“Are you alright, Young Master Weiss?”

“I’m fine. Continue!” Arthur said with a wave of his hand.

His bodyguards spread out around them, area sweeping the for any signs of snakes. Even Sophia was starting to feel afraid of the grass around her. That snake had been the longest snake she had ever seen in her life.

By the time the fortune teller was done with his analysis, Arthur had his men take photos of the area instead of making a decision right then and there. He would decide after thoroughly researching the area.

Hiking up a mountain was always easier than hiking down a mountain.

It was a steep climb, which meant their descent was harder. One false move and they would go rolling down the mountain.

With bent legs, she slowly shuffled down the mountain while clinging to the surrounding branches. Her hand reached for the next branch, only to grab a long leaf instead. Suddenly, pain shot through her hand as the sharp edges of the leaf slashed her hand.

She let out a sharp hiss, pulling her hand back to inspect it. It was bleeding..

Arthur was right behind her. He frowned. and said, “Let me see.”

She showed him her palm. “Be careful,”

he said as he inspected her hand. “Avoid touching leaves similar to this.”

She nodded in response. He then moved to walk in front of her. When they reached a tough part of the climb, he would turn around and give her a hand.

Every time that happened, she would notice the wounds on his fair hands, making her heart throb in pain.

“Young Master Weiss, please don’t save me from danger next time,” she said.

“Why?” He turned around and stared into her eyes.

“I’m afraid you will be injured. I do not want you to get hurt because of me.” She solemnly stared back at him. “I’m a lucky man. I won’t die.” He turned his attention back to climbing down the mountain.

They soon arrived at another steep section. Just as she was cautiously making her way down, he suddenly lifted her up horrizontally since he was already on a safe, flat spot.

Her mind was stuck in a dazed state, and she only snapped back to her senses when she was finally put down. Arthur had carried her.

Finally, they were back on the dirt path they had initially followed and had safely made it back to the cars..

Emily had been waiting for their return.” By the time they did, the sun was about to set. After all, it was well past five o’clock.

“Artie…” She happily dashed over to the group but stopped when she saw the wound on Arthur’s forehead. “How did you get hurt?” she asked, upset.

“I’m fine. I was accidentally cut by a branch,” he calmly explained.

She looked him up and down. His black outfit was covered in bits of grass, as if he had been rolling on the ground.
