Once Arthur was gone, Sophia‘s eyes became teary again. When she gazed at the bed, a smile appeared on her lips as she knew she was not going to regret it forever.
Even if he was not the one who would walk down the aisle with her–or even not walking down one at all–she acknowledged him as the man whom she loved the most in this lifetime.
Fifteen minutes later, he rushed upstairs with every eye drop he could find in the drugstore.
Momentarily stunned, she picked the one she normally used and asked him to help her with it before lying on the bed.
He looked at her peaceful expression and landed a soft kiss on her forehead. He was not going to go anywhere; he would stay by her side until her eyes got better.
At that moment, his phone rang before he looked at it with a frown. Although it was an important call, he did not answer it nevertheless.
During noon, they had lunch with Elliot and Anastasia, and the atmosphere was great. While the women chatted away about jewelry, the men listened to them attentively.
Then, Elliot accompanied Anastasia to the company to deal with some work whereas Arthur and Sophia returned home.
She was exhausted by the time they got home, so he stayed by her side until she drifted into dreamland.
It was not until then that he made a phone call and the receiver picked up the line immediately. “Young Master Weiss, where are you?”
“What‘s the matter?”
“Three days ago, the family‘s bank account was short of one billion. We need you to come back to look into it.”
“I‘ll leave it to you.”
“Young Master Weiss, it‘s not only about the money. It‘s about the company‘s succession too. You must come over.”
