“I guess that‘s not a bad thing either because you both belong in the same world while I‘m from another world. I hope I can find my true love when I return and get married, like what my parents want me to do. By then, both of us will carry on with our own lives.” Sophia bitterly smiled, her tears welling up in her eyes as she tried to comfort herself. “It seems that you have forgotten me, but that‘s okay. I‘ll endure all the pain by myself,” Sophia added.
“What do you think we are to each other, Sophia?” Arthur suddenly asked.
“It doesn‘t matter anymore. Congratulations on your wedding. I look forward to hearing good news about your firstborn.” Sophia looked at the man sincerely, finally realizing that Emily wasn‘t lying to her. I guess I was indeed in over my head for wanting to marry into the Weiss Family.
She then recalled Martha‘s words about the Weiss Family‘s wealth that far exceeded the level she could ever imagine. For that, she was told that the man was out of her league, which was something she finally understood at that moment. After all, Arthur was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but Sophia was just an ordinary lady from a modest family. I probably used up all my luck when I had the chance to date him for a while. At the thought of that, she considered herself lucky to have ever been in a relationship with Arthur.
“Let‘s go home.” Arthur took a look at the time and decided that they should make a move.
“You could go first. I want to lie down here for a little while more,” Sophia responded stubbornly. Deep down, she fell in love with the beautiful scenery around her and was so enchanted that she was reluctant to leave.
“This place is about 2 miles away from the manor, plus the fact that your leg is injured is only going to make it even harder for you to walk back.” Arthur was actually thinking of giving her a ride back with his horse.
Nevertheless, Sophia shook her head and replied, “It‘s okay. I don‘t have anything else better to do, anyway. So, now is the perfect time for me to admire the beautiful view around your residence.”
After hearing the lady‘s words, he was tempted to save his breath on changing her mind but couldn‘t bring himself to leave her there out of chivalry. “How much longer do you want to stay here?” Arthur asked.
“Another half an hour more, I guess,” she said, fiddling with the flower in her hand.
