“I have orders from Young Master Weiss.” The butler smiled at Sophia.
Sophia‘s smile stiffened for a few seconds when she heard what the butler said. Wher? It‘s Arthur‘s idea? Where is he taking me? Am I causing so much disturbance to him that he wants to get rid of me?
Filled with that bitter thought in her head, Sophia braced herself to accept the harsh truth that she didn‘t deserve to attend Arthur‘s wedding, anyway. Therefore, she had nothing to say, thinking he wanted her gone. “Alright, please give me a moment.” Sophia then limped into the room, but when the butler saw that, he quickly ordered the maids to come and help her.

At that instant, Sophia‘s heart was beating rapidly like a jackhammer as she suddenly realized that was what happened every time she saw the man.
Soon, Arthur stood up and walked up to the butler, taking over the wheelchair, whereupon he wheeled the lady to her new room. “Wait a second! What‘s going on? Why am I moving to this room?” Sophia looked up, asking Arthur with a surprised voice.
