Chapter 761

Looking at the beach not far away, Sophia sighed and said, “Do you still remember what happened

during Anastasia‘s wedding? I nearly got washed away by the sea. When I saw you dashing to help

me, I was really moved then.”

Arthur rubbed her head. “You still have the cheek to mention that, eh? You‘re forbidden from going to

any dangerous places from now on. I can‘t be at your side at all times after all.”

“But, it‘s so strange! I never found myself in such situations before I met you. Ever since I stuck with

you, it‘s either I nearly drowned at sea or rolled down a hill. Fortunately, you were always there to save

me.” Having said that, she hugged his waist and looked up, still a bit baffled that the man in front of her

was her boyfriend now.

He hugged her tightly while promising, “With me by your side, you‘ll be safe and sound for the rest of

your life.”

“We‘ll be safe and sound.” This made Sophia a little teary–eyed.

A thought then came to her mind as she asked him in a serious tone, “Young Master Arnold, I have a

question for you, so please answer me sincerely.”

“Yes?” Arthur also became serious, not wanting to answer perfunctorily.

“With your status, you must have had a lot of girls swarming you since you were young, so why did you

choose me?” She had a very curious gaze.

Looking down at her bright eyes, Arthur felt like she resembled a flower blooming in summer as there

was an inexplicable charm to her. The thing he loved about her was her smile; though it had hints of

silliness, it always soothed him and made him feel like life was full of joy just by being with her.

Yet, when mentioning what trait made him fall for her, he only wanted to say that she brought a sense

of life into his world. Being with her made him feel comfortable and natural, which prompted him to

envision his future with her.

Since his young age, Arthur had always been surrounded by exceptional ladies from prominent families

and even nobles as their desires and ambition were always on full display. Hence, when Sophia

appeared, she was like a ray of sun that pierce through his ironclad heart.

Reaching out, Arthur did not answer her. Instead, he gently hugged her and kissed her head twice.

“You shouldn‘t underestimate your charms. To me, you‘re unique and

irreplaceable,” he whispered.

“But, I‘m dumb,” she replied while still in a haze.

Rubbing her hair with his jaw, he answered dotingly, “It‘s fine. I don’t need those from you. I just need to

be the first person you think of whenever you‘re in danger… and the person you come home to

whenever life gets hard.”

Sophia felt her heart skip a beat upon hearing this as she laughed out loud while embracing him tightly.

To her, this was the highest form of confession she could receive; it was even more romantic than

hearing an ‘I love you‘.

In a blink of an eye, Friday came as the banquet by Presgrave Group was organized. Being the star of

the event, Anastasia appeared under the lenses of the media while holding her husband‘s hand.

Since they needed to reach the venue earlier, she stepped out of the car in a light gold dress in the

evening. The dress, which was exquisite and glamorous, accentuated her beautiful figure and

charisma.

Even under the scrutiny of the flashing cameras, her naturally beautiful face was flawless. Appearing in

front of the media for the first time since a long while, Elliot appeared handsome while not losing his

dominating aura, which made the surrounding women gasp and scream.

It was apparent that even after his marriage, this could not stop the ladies from admiring him.

Yet, he paid no heed to all this as he naturally held his wife‘s hand gently and walked together on the

red carpet while the reporters made sure to capture this affectionate moment.

From adjusting her dress to holding her bag, his gaze never left his wife as if nobody except his wife

mattered to him.

Meanwhile, in a high–end dress shop…
