Chapter 652
Night of Destiny
At the sight of Sophiaâs reaction, Arthur curled his lips upward, complimenting her deep down for being
smart enough to take off her high heels. In the meantime, Sophia caught a glimpse of two yachts not far
away and noticed the bright lights on them, along with the loud music and cheers. Thinking it was Jacob
and the others on those yachts, Sophia immediately approached the handrail on the edge of the deck
that was closest to
them.
On the other hand, Jacob happened to be catching some air on the deck when he saw an approaching
yacht with a woman standing on it. Is that Sophia? Wondering if the lady was who he thought it was, he
shouted, âSophia!â
âJacob!â Sophia waved at Jacob when she saw him.
Meanwhile, Jacob was thinking of going over to the yacht to accompany Sophia,
only to see another man emerging from behind her, which forced him to give up the idea. At that
moment, Arthur was seen wearing a white suit, and it was as if
he was the charming prince who was
protecting Sophia from behind. Soon, the yacht that Sophia was on sped away and quickly disappeared
from sight, because the yachts that Jacob and his friends were on wouldnât sail any further away from the
dock. After the yacht left in a hurry. an annoyed Jacob clenched his fists and wondered who Arthur was.
As soon as the other two yachts were left far behind, Sophia entered the luxury cabin and sat down after
having enough of the windy breeze. In the meantime, Arthur was enjoying himself with the desserts and
beverages on the table while sitting on the couch with his legs crossed.
âWhen are we going back, Mr. Weiss?â Sophia curiously asked.
âTomorrow.â Arthur figured he should start looking into the matter in which he had to choose a place
where his late grandfatherâs grave could be built.
âThatâs good to hear! Can I go back home to visit my parents, then?â Sophia beseeched the man.
âYou can give a call back home, but you canât leave,â Arthur replied.
âPlease, I just need half a day.â Sophia insisted on going home.
âFrom now on, Iâm going to teach you how to be a qualified maid, Sophia. Until Iâm satisfied with your
performance, you will not be permitted to go anywhere.â Arthur jutted his chin, his eyes filled with
indifference and nonchalance.
Sophia was stunned because she didnât expect the man to say something so harsh to her. After all, she
thought the reason he took her out for a cruise on the sea was because he was softened up a little to
her. âIs what I found earlier really so important to you?â The lady asked.
âThatâs a one and only heirloom that has been passed down to me through generations in my family.â
Arthur squinted, gritting his teeth. âSo, do you think thatâs important to me?â
Upon hearing the manâs reply, Sophia felt cold chills running down her spine. Oh dear! I guess Iâm
screwed for misplacing
his heirloom! âAlright, Iâll give it back to you in a year.â She tried to appease the man despite the panicky
feeling that was overwhelming her on the inside. How am I going to afford that? I doubt I could make that
much cash even if I sleep around for money. Suddenly, she shivered from head to toe when the chilly
sea breeze blew amidst the cold weather at night. As she felt goosebumps all over her skin, she
subconsciously wrapped her arms around herself to keep warm.
Meanwhile, Arthur noticed what was going on and took off his coat, which he threw at her. âPut it on.â
Despite his indifferent tone, his actions were rather heartwarming.
âThank you.â Sophia proceeded to put on the manâs coat. The warmth wrapped around her body, as well
as Arthurâs unique and pleasant scent. When she caught the scent of that, her face blushed in
embarrassment. After spending more than an hour cruising on the sea, they both sailed back to the
dock. At the same time, Sophia stood on the deck and looked at the man beside her. âCan I
shout? Just to vent?â
Thinking a shout at the wide sea would be a good relief, Arthur decided to go along with Sophia. âGo
ahead.â
Sophia then made a gesture of a trumpet with her hands and began shouting at some place far away.
âMr. Weiss, youâre so freaking handsome!â
Arthur was speechless upon hearing Sophiaâs words. Is there something wrong with this woman?
âYouâre the most handsome man Iâve ever seen, Mr. Weiss!â Sophia shouted at the sea as she wanted to
amuse the man.
