“Hmph! You‘re used to a life of opulence since young and if you plan on maintaining your original lifestyle, then you would need to try hard at getting a job,” Martha said this derisively and she seemed to relish in watching him try. She was quite shocked to find her grandson behaving with so much integrity over a girl.
“Don‘t worry, Grandma. I will be able to take care of myself.” Having said that, he attempted to end the conversation.
On the other hand, she hastily yelled out, “Artie, are you sure that you want to go against my will just for that girl?”
“Grandma, her name is Sophia Goodwin and you can address her as Sophia.”
“Are you guys in a relationship?”
“Yes!” Arthur admitted.
“Do you plan on marrying her?” Martha‘s eyes flickered and it looked like her grandson had met his true love.
“Grandma, let‘s not talk about this for now. I‘m sorry to trouble you, but you will have to handle the family business for now. Give me some time.”
At that point, she could not help her thoughts as she narrowed her eyes. She knew his personality well and she felt that time would prove whether he was truly in love with Sophia. She would wait and see for herself by then.
However, she reckoned that her decision to freeze all of the bank accounts he held was the right one as it was important to have him go through some hardships in life.
Back home, Sophia moved into her own apartment and she went behind her parents‘ back to live with Arthur.
Coincidentally, her apartment was located extremely close to Presgrave Group, so she claimed that it was for the sake of work convenience, which prompted no reason for Drake and Emma to doubt her words.
Despite living in the same space, Sophia and Arthur stayed in separate rooms, so they were not technically in cohabitation.
After Arthur ended the phone call with his grandma, he instantly felt a wave of relief and he glanced at Sophia, who was currently doing the laundry on the balcony, before he initiated his help to her.
Since he was young, he had never done any chores but was happy to help out despite
having to do all that now.
“Hmm, are you a C cup?” He held her pink undergarment in his hand and studied it.
At that sight, Sophia blushed slightly and reached out to grab it from him. “Why are you studying this so intently?”
