Chapter 732
Night of Destiny
âIâm kissing my girlfriend.â James quickly slid into his role. âThis is not a crime, is it?â
Sophia feigned shyness as she said, âWeâre not kissing here! Wait until weâre home!â
He grinned. âAll right, all right. Iâll listen to you for now. Iâve prepared a candlelight dinner for tonight, so
we can enjoy a romantic night later.â
She could only blush coquettishly at his words. Even though she wouldnât even dare look at Arthurâs
face, she could feel his eyes glued on her.
Arthur saw everything when James went straight for Sophiaâs lingerie in the closet and kept them in the
suitcase.
At last, Sophia zipped her suitcase and lifted it from the ground. She passed her luggage to James,
who naturally took it from her.
Then, she walked toward Arthur, who was waiting at the door and mustered the courage to look into his
eyes which seemed to have a deep meaning beneath. âMr. Weiss, Iâve decided to live with my
boyfriend. Thank you for your hospitality.â
Arthur grabbed her wrist without giving her the opportunity to resist. âCome with me for a sec.â
âHey! Mr. Weiss! Let go of me!â However, he didnât spare her any time to struggle out of his grip as he
led her toward his study room.
âYou! Let go of my girlfriend!â James shouted from behind, but Sophia was already being pulled into the
study room by Arthur and the door shut with a loud thud.
Sophia could only feel Arthur being oppressive before he pinned her against the door. His fresh scent
enveloped her as he leaned forward to question her with a cold tone. âYou dare to flirt with me when
youâre already dating someone?â
Raising her head, she saw his stony face and ice-cold eyes.
She insisted, âIâm sorry, b-but I never flirted with you.â
âNever? You didnât stop me when I kissed you in the hotel that day. Canât you remember?â If that was
the case, Arthur would help Sophia to recall that dayâs events.
Her cheeks flushed as she nudged him. âDonât do this. My boyfriendâs not far away.â
Arthur pressed her harder on the door. âDoes he know we kissed? Does he know you melted in my
embrace like a good girl that day?â
Sophia was short of breath at their proximity. Her face was turning crimson. What does he want?
âIâll be frank to him. We only kissed, after all. Heâll forgive me.â She turned her head away from him.
âWhen did you find yourself a boyfriend?â Arthur was confused as he had initiated an investigation on
her. The man who showed up today was not in the findings.
âHe returned to the country last week. Heâs really my boyfriend,â Sophia explained promptly to make
him believe her.
âYouâve been sleeping with each other?â His eyes turned cold when he asked as if he was ripping off
his disguise and revealing his cruel inner self.
His expression was a heart-wrenching view for her. However, she had no choice but to lie to him.
Shutting her eyes, and in the most solemn tone she could manage, she said, âWe had done everything
we should as a couple two years ago.â
Her statement was even solid with a precise time. Nobody would ever have any more doubt about their
relationship.
Arthur was dumbfounded by her calm statement. Sophia could sense his disdain as he took a step
back, indicating that she succeeded in her plan. Martha once told her that he would never be close to
someone who gained his hatred ever again.
âIâm sorry,â she apologized quickly before she walked out of the study room.
Downstairs in the living room, James was admiring the art pieces here. Seeing Sophia coming down,
he asked in concern, âAre you okay?â
âIâm fine. Letâs go.â All Sophia wanted to do was run away from here because Arthurâs look was causing
her heart to ache.
Just then, James saw Arthur walking down the stairs. He immediately returned to his role as he held
Sophia close and warned the other man, âPlease stay away from my girlfriend from now on. I want you
to keep your distance from her.â
Sophiaâs eyes widened at him as she only hoped to leave right now.
However, Arthur sneered. âSay, did she ever tell you that she and I shared a room before? And did she
tell you that we kissed when she was wearing only a bathrobe?â
