After walking a few meters, Sophia was engulfed in sadness all of a sudden, making her unable to walk. While covering her face, she squatted down on the pathway beside the bushes and started sobbing while suppressing her voice.
However, she didn‘t realize that a few meters behind her, there was a person watching her. Arthur looked at the girl whose shoulders were trembling from her cries. He knew he was the reason she was in misery.
Why is she crying like this? Why does she think that I abandoned her?
He just stood there for as long as she was crying until his phone started ringing and frightened the crying Sophia. She quickly stood up and turned around, only to see that the man was still there. Seeing him there stunned her for a few seconds.
I thought he didn‘t care about me anymore. Why is he still following me?
Arthur looked at his phone, but he didn‘t pick it up. In fact, he hung up the phone and told her, “Stop crying and go back to your room!”
“Even if I cry, it‘s none of your business!” Sophia quipped out of annoyance.
“Your crying disturbed me,” he said ruthlessly.
Hearing that, she felt her body sway a little and nearly passed out from anger. Is this man really the Arthur that I know? He‘s even colder than strangers.
“Fine! I just need to cry further away, right?” As soon as she said that, she turned around and saw an exit, so she ran in that direction right away.
At this moment, Arthur remembered that that was the way to the pond, and there was no path there. Just as he wanted to stop her, she had already run away.
“So…” He suddenly realized that he had forgotten her name, so he could only run in the same direction as her.
Yet, before he could stop her, she jumped into the pond as expected, since she didn‘t know there was a pond behind the bushes.
“Ah!” she shouted fearfully as her body sank into the pond. The coldness of the water at night made her extremely frightened.
Just then, Arthur rushed over and took a deep breath. He looked at the girl, who had brought him so much trouble tonight, and felt speechless.
