Just as Jacob mustered up his courage and was ready to greet Sophia, a man‘s low voice suddenly came from behind him, “Could you come here, honey?”
With that, Sophia turned around to find two men standing behind her. Despite that, there was only one in her eyes as she blushed out of embarrassment. How could he call me ‘honey‘ in front of everyone!
Still, she greeted Jacob out of courtesy, “Hello, Jacob!” Then, she walked to Arthur‘s side and held his hands.
Although Jacob looked fine on the outside, he felt like his heart was pricked as it was somewhat uneasy and hard to swallow his feelings.
Is this guy doing this on purpose? Did he show off his superiority in front of me intentionally? Who is this goddamn person? At that moment, he had made up his mind to teach Arthur a lesson.
Clenching his teeth, he thought that he would make this ‘Arnold fella‘ pay for his insolence with his blood without exposing himself.
The reason why Jacob was so confident was because he felt that Arthur was not a person from this country even though he had a typical Caucasian look and was speaking their language. Furthermore, there was no prominent family within the country with the surname ‘Arnold‘.
Sophia, who was dragged away by Arthur, sat down inside a private room. Thinking that the man might have something important to convey to her, she was suddenly fed a piece of peach by him.
“Try it.”
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, she could not reject him and took a bite. “Did you bring me in here just to feed me some fruit?”
“You are too stunning tonight. I don‘t want another man to even look at you one more second, so just stay here and be with me,” Arthur conveyed his thoughts straightforwardly.
However, she was a bit dumbfounded at his words. Why does he sound so needy?
