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.
