Later that night, the maids prepared dinner for Sophia, who thought she was going to enjoy her meal alone until Arthur showed up and had his dinner with her. At that instant, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable, wishing this had happened back in their country because she would have been so happy about it. Nonetheless, the maids were standing right beside them, adding food for them while watching them dine. What’s going on, Arthur? You have a fiancée, and you’re getting married in two days, yet here you are, dining with another woman.
On the other hand, Arthur appeared surprisingly natural, glimpsing Sophia’s reaction every once in a while until he noticed her picking at her meal in an absent-minded manner. “What’s wrong? You don’t like the food?” he asked with a deep voice.
“Oh, of course not. I’m just not feeling that hungry.” Sophia shook her head.
When she was done with her meal, she returned to her bedroom shortly before she got a call from Anastasia, who asked her about her whereabouts because she had gone looking for her in her room.
“Hey, Anastasia… I’m currently staying in the manor’s main building. It’s Young Master Weiss’ idea, apparently.”
“Oh wow, that sounds great! He can take good care of you in that case.” Anastasia was happy for her.
“Come on, Anastasia. Stop pulling my leg. You know he is almost getting married, so why is he keeping me by his side?” Sophia smiled bitterly.
“Look, Sophia. Just stay with him patiently. I believe he still loves you. The reason he doesn’t remember you is that he is suffering from memory loss.” Anastasia consoled Sophia because she knew the actual reason behind Arthur’s amnesia. Therefore, she truly believed that
Sophia was the Mrs. Right meant for Arthur, while the Jennings Family would soon have to pay the ultimate price for the bad deeds they had done. In the meantime, Sophia had no choice but to stay by Arthur’s side because she couldn’t go anywhere either in her current condition, but deep down, she told herself that she would try her best to keep her distance from Arthur.
