Chapter 755
Night of Destiny
Instantly, Sophiaâs eyes widened in fright and she quickly asked, âMom, where are you right now?â
âIâm in the elevator.â
âMom, why didnât you let me know that you were coming?!â
âWhy should I have to inform my own daughter before visiting her place? Hurry up and open the door.â
âUgh! Mom, hold on. I need to change.â Yet, Sophia did not even have time to put on her clothes as she
hastily opened the door to rush out before twisting open the door to the other bedroom. She hurriedly
pestered the man asleep in bed. âArthur, get up right now! My momâs here. She cannot see you here!â
âHuh?â He opened his eyes and as he sat up while the silken blanket slid off his chest.
All Sophia could see was his exposed chest and it remained glaringly in front of her eyes.
He studied her intently with an interesting glint in his eyes. She was currently dressed in a pink
spaghetti strap nightgown and her captivating figure was entirely displayed before him. He could not
help revealing a slight smile wittily. âI knew that youâre a C cup!â
At that point, she reached out and immediately covered his eyes as she retorted angrily, âWhere are
your roving eyes looking at?! Stop it!â
Arthur could feel her soft hands covering his eyes. A man was usually most easily aroused in the
morning, but she dared to touch him at that moment. He could smell the sweet scent of hers linger in
his nostrils and it was quite a trigger to his sensations. Without a second word, he reached out and
pulled her into his arms.
He plopped backward, which resulted in her falling onto him with their chests pressing against each
other.
âYou⦠Arthur, let go of me.â
It was then that a knock sounded on the door and Emma had arrived.
âMy momâs here. You need to hide.â Sophia tugged his hand while her little hands were still lingering on
his body as she was pushing him somewhere.
To that, Arthur immediately responded by panting hard, âStop touching me!â
âIâm sorry. Iâm really sorry.â At that point, she was fairly anxious and frantic. She did not realize that she
had touched him where she was not supposed to.
He noticed the brightâred flush on her face out of anxiety and he kindly uncovered the blanket to get
out of bed. He had some pants on his lower torso and he grabbed the pajama top by the side to put on
as he said, âNow, open the door.â
âNot yet. I canât let my mom see you, otherwise we wonât get to see each other again,â she replied.
âI have a way of making myself disappear.â
Outside the door, Emmaâs loud hollers rang out persistently, âSophia. Sophia! Why arenât you
answering the door?â
âThe wardrobe. Yes, thatâs right. Iâm sorry, but youâll have to suffer for a moment.â Sophia pulled open
the wardrobe and intended to get him to hide inside just like last time.
Arthur pushed her toward the door. âGot it. Iâll stay hidden.â
As Sophia heard the sound of the door shutting behind her, she thought to herself, He must have
hidden inside the wardrobe, so Iâll just have to keep Mom out of the guest room later on.
Emma, who was carrying a load of groceries with her outside the door, started to wonder, Why is
Sophia taking so long to open the door even though sheâs home?
In the end, she could only knock on the door once again. âSophia, open the door. What are you doing
inside?â
âIâm here!â At the moment, Sophia had an armful of Arthurâs laundry in her arms as she collected them
from the laundry line outside and headed toward her room. Subsequently, she bundled up everything
and stuffed them into her wardrobe. She was just about to turn around and walk out of the master
bedroom when she saw that she had dropped a pair of his underwear on the ground. Hastily, she
grabbed it from the ground and stuffed it into her wardrobe before taking a deep breath. She took
another look in the direction of the guest room and she reckoned that Arthur must have already hidden
inside the wardrobe.
After taking forever, she finally yanked open the front door as Emma glanced at Sophia perplexedly
and questioned, âWhat were you doing?â
âIâI just woke up.â Sophia purposely yawned and pretended to act sleepy.
âYou little brat. Did you stay up the whole night again last night? Watch your health. Your body wonât be
able to take the stress from the lack of sleep. Itâs really bad for your body.â
âIâm aware of that, Mom.â
âIâve bought you some breakfast. Go ahead and have some,â said Emma as she started to tidy up the
items on the table, diligently cleaning up the place for her daughter.
Originally, she and Drake had refused to allow Sophia to move out by herself, but after considering the
fact that Sophia was a grownâup woman after all, it was normal for her to yearn for some privacy.
However, that did not stop her and Drake from worrying about their daughter constantly.
Emma started to tidy up the place and glanced in the direction of the door to the guest room. She
suddenly realized that Sophia must not have gone inside the guest room to air out the room and the
items inside, so there was a chance that there would be mold growth inside that room. After finishing
her thought, she reached out and twisted the door knob to the guest room and pushed open the door.
