“I have orders from Young Master Weiss.” The butler smiled at Sophia.

Sophia‘s smile stiffened for a few seconds when she heard what the butler said. Wher? It's Arthur's idea? Where is he taking me? Am | causing so much disturbance to him that he wants to get rid of me? Filled with that bitter thought in her head, Sophia braced herself to accept the harsh truth that she didn‘t deserve to attend Arthur's wedding, anyway. Therefore, she had nothing to say, thinking he wanted her gone.

“Alright, please givea moment.” Sophia then limped into the room, but when the butler saw that, he quickly ordered the maids to cand help her.

After Sophia took care of her luggage, the maids carried them out of the room for her while the butler cback to her with a wheelchair. “Miss Goodwin, please sit in this wheelchair. It should make it easier for you.” “Thank you very much, sir.” Sophia was embarrassed.

As soon as Sophia sat in the wheelchair, the butler wheeled her out the door all the way to the garden. When Sophia looked in the direction in which the butler was wheeling her, she was stunned to see the manor’s main building instead of the guest room beside it. Upon that realization, she couldn‘t help but ask herself where the butler was taking her. Soon, they arrived at the elevator, which they took to reach a room on the fourth floor. At the sight of the grand-looking interior, the lady was left with her jaw wide open. Wait a minute! This place looks so magnificent that it is meant for the owner to live in, not the guests. Sophia then looked around her until her gaze fell upon a man sitting on the couch.

As the evening sunlight shone on him, he seemed especially charming and handsome, especially in his white button-down paired with a plaid vest. At the stime, the fact that he was crossing his legs in his sitting posture only served to make him look even more attractive. Isn‘t that Arthur? At that instant, Sophia‘s heart was beating rapidly like a jackhammer as she suddenly realized that was what happened every tshe saw the man.

Soon, Arthur stood up and walked up to the butler, taking over the wheelchair, whereupon he wheeled the lady to her new room. “Wait a second! What's going on? Why am | moving to this room?” Sophia looked up, asking Arthur with a surprised voice.

“Your leg is injured, so it's more convenient for you to be taken care of staying here.” Arthur brushed her off with an excuse, Sophia shook her head and replied, “No need for that. I'll be fine in a matter of days with enough rest. So, | should probably return to the guest room without imposing on you.” Nevertheless, Arthur soon wheeled her into the room and responded with a commanding voice, “My house, my rules.” “B-But... wouldn‘t this be inappropriate, considering the fact that you're about to marry Miss Jennings? | can‘t be staying here with you, can 1? What if she misunderstands the situation...?” Although Sophia was tempted to stay close to Arthur, she didn’t want to ruin his reputation.

“I'll explain to her if she misunderstands.” Arthur finished his words, but when he noticed her still sitting in the wheelchair, he asked, “Are you going to try and walk yourself? Or do you needto carry you from the wheelchair?” “I'm going to walk by myself.” Sophia finished her words and held the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair, desperate to show the man that she could take care of herself, only to be tripped by the armrests.

“Ah...” Staggering, she fell forward and instinctively hugged the thing that she thought would make her feel most secure-Arthur’s waist. At the stime, the man also extended his arms and wrapped them around her to make sure she wouldn‘t get hurt from the fall.

The next second, Sophia found her head resting on Arthur's firm chest. As she could hear his steady heartbeat, her heartbeat was somehow raised by a few BPMs. Great! | oversold my mobility and ended up in his awkward embrace. “Thank you.” Sophia then quickly stood up, backing away from Arthur with her cheeks blushing bashfully.

Meanwhile, Arthur looked down at her, somehow finding Sophia‘s face strangely attractive as he simply couldn‘t take his eyes off her. He then seized her arm and helped her walk to the couch, where he sat her down. When Sophia sank into the couch, she heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the man. “I'm fine now, so you may leave and attend to your own business.” Upon hearing the lady‘s words, Arthur walked away while the maids stayed behind to tidy her luggage and place her clothes in the wardrobe. Soon, when the maids were finally gone, the room was back to its peaceful state, with Sophia left sitting on the couch in a bitter manner. Deep down, she could sense the man’s feelings for her even though he appeared to have forgotten about her.
