Chapter 703
Sophia’s arms wrapped around his neck reflexively. The thought of Arthur had been on her mind lately and she
found herself attracted to him.
She wondered when she had fallen for him. Was it that time when he risked himself to save her at the beach; or the
moment he tried to rescue her but ended up rolling down the hill with her; or when he settled her father’s debt?
For her whole life, never had someone sacrificed himself for her like he did aside from her family.
As time passed, the kiss between them became more intense. She could not help but panic as everything was going
out of her control. Right now, he was giving off a dangerous vibe as though he could devour her with the kiss.
Sensing that Sophia’s body was tensing under his touch, Arthur let go of her promptly. Emotions were surging in his
eyes and his face showed a trace of him restraining himself. Moreover, he felt like his body was burning in a fire
and the fire was slowly making its way up to his brain, eating away all his reasons.
The more he tried his moves on her, the more he was confused by the results. At the same time, even if he wanted
to trigger a reaction out of her to explore her effect on him, he still did not want to scare her away by making one
wrong move.
As the stalemate grew heavier between them, someone rang the bell.
Assuming it was his bodyguard outside with the clean clothes, he turned to open the door. As he expected, standing
out there was one of his bodyguards, but Emily stepped into the room with a click of the high heels before the
bodyguard could.
As soon as she took in the scene in the bedroom where the occupants were wearing only bathrobes, she turned to

How dare Sophia bring Arthur to mess around in a hotel room!
“Emily? Why’re you here?” Even though
Arthur directed the question to her, his eyes were shooting daggers toward the bodyguard.
The man’s stomach churned at the sight.
In no position to reject Emily’s demand, the bodyguard let her follow along without a second choice.
When Sophia’s eyes met Emily’s gaze, she noted instantly that Emily had misunderstood the situation and was now
mad at her.
Even more, it was a huge misunderstanding.
“Wait outside, we’re changing.” With a deep voice, Arthur instructed Emily.
Emily was full of resentment as she eyed Sophia one last time before exiting.
At last, Sophia swapped her attire with clean clothes. They even brought me the underclothes, she thought. It must
be Emily’s servant who prepared for me.
After changing, they made their way back to the villa.
In the car, Sophia took the passenger seat while Emily and Arthur sat at the back seats. As they did not bother to
make any conversation along the trip, there was a heavy silence hanging in the air.
Suddenly, the car came to a hard stop and Emily seized the opportunity to fall into Arthur’s arms. “Ah!”
Just as Sophia turned to check on them. Emily’s upper body was already leaning feebly into Arthur’s chest.
“Sit tight.” Arthur helped her into a sitting position.
“But I’m feeling dizzy! Artie, let me lean on you, please!” Emily refused to wait for his reply and clung to him with
great force.
Fixing her gaze on the road, Sophia tried her best not to check on the commotion at the backseats.
It was an obvious fact that Emily liked Arthur. Other than that, they came from a similar family background, which
added to the possibility of Emily
becoming Arthur’s future wife.
Sophia was aware that she should keep her hopes down, but when she heard Emily playing coquetry on him, her
heart felt tangled.
At this very moment, she began to feel her mind turning cloudy. She wondered whether she was suffering from
carsickness, or if it was because she was drenched in the rain this afternoon.
Sensing the warmness enveloping her cheeks, she placed a hand on her face. Feeling the burning sensation under
her
touch, she finally realized that she was
running a temperature.
“Sir, please let me off here.” Sophia turned to the side and asked the bodyguard in the driver’s seat.
The bodyguard stopped the car at the roadside according to her words. Before she left the car, she turned to the
back and told Arthur, “Mr. Weiss, I can’t accompany you back to the villa. I have some matters to attend to
tonight.”
Finishing her sentence, Sophia pushed the door open and alighted from the car.

Seeing that Emily made no remark about her departure while Arthur was silent, the bodyguard continued to drive
on.
He made it about a hundred meters before Arthur directed an order at him. “Reverse now.”
The bodyguard was confused only for a second before he reversed the car just as
the man had ordered.
Meanwhile, after alighting from the car, Sophia was feeling worse than before. As she stood under the streetlights,
she waved helplessly at the passing cars, in the hopes of someone stopping to send her to the hospital.
However, her effort was fruitless as she was standing in the middle of the roadside, which was not suitable for a cab
to stop.
At this moment, a black SUV rolled to a stop about ten meters away from her. The beaming light enveloped the
person
who alighted from the car. Arthur, who was wearing a dress shirt with embroidery, caught her in his sight and
noticed her discomfort immediately.
He strode to where she stood.
Feelings of queasiness were coursing through her bloodstream. As she saw a silhouette nearing toward her, she
wearingly let out a deep breath and raised her gaze at that person.
