“He’s very wealthy.”
“Is he as handsome as me?”
Sophia turned to him and consoled, “He’s not as good-looking as you.”
“All right.” James chuckled at her while feeling that his confidence was boosted. “Or else, I’d have
nothing to compete against a wealthy and more handsome guy.”
At that moment, she received a message from Arthur. ‘Why didn’t you answer my calls or reply to my
messages last night?’
She typed a reply and sent it. ‘I muted my phone and fell asleep. I’m sorry.’
‘Are you coming over to my house?’
‘Yes, I’m coming over to pack my things. I’ll be there soon,’ she replied.
At the same time, Arthur took a break from his work in the study room and checked on his messages.
As he read Sophia’s reply, he knitted his brows and wondered, Is she not living here anymore?
Thinking that Sophia would arrive soon, he walked out of the study room and headed downstairs.
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang, so Arthur pressed a button to allow the visitor access. He saw that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophia pushed the door to enter with a young man behind her.
The moment James landed his eyes on the man standing in the garden, he became dejected as his
confidence had quickly dissipated.
How dare Sophia lie to me! Everyone can see the guy over there is the best among all! Not only is he
handsome, but he even has a strong aura, good taste in picking outfits, a stunning look, a toned body,
and an elegant temperament. That man has completely surpassed me in every aspect!
Sophia cleared her throat as she held his hand and led him toward Arthur nervously.
“Good morning, Mr. Weiss. I’m here to pack my things.” She avoided looking into Arthur’s eyes as she
introduced James, “This is my boyfriend, James. He’s here to help me with the packing.”
Arthur squinted his eyes and asked coldly, “Your boyfriend?”
“Nice to meet you. I’m James. Sophia and I are childhood sweethearts.” James reached out for a
handshake.
However, Arthur only gave him a perfunctory glance before turning to Sophia immediately. “You never
told me you’re seeing someone.”
Sophia laughed at the remark. “You never asked.”
“Anyway, I’m going to pack my things.” At that, she held James’ arm intimately as she said, “Let’s go,
dear. I need your help.”
James reciprocated her act as both of them walked into the villa and made their way upstairs.
Arthur was the only one at home now as Emily accompanied Martha on a trip, so Sophia seized the
convenient timing to pack her things. She was aware that their absence set her in comfort.
In the guest room, Sophia took out the suitcase and began packing her clothes. Beside her, James
whispered, “Sophia, are you sure you aren’t going to date a handsome man like him?”
Sophia shushed him to stop talking. Bored, James pulled open a drawer in her closet randomly and
was stunned when he found her lingerie.
“Sophia, come pack these by yourself.”
She was embarrassed by the situation. At this moment, she heard steady footsteps outside the room—
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit belonged to none other than Arthur.
At that moment, an idea flashed across her mind and she raised her voice. “James, help me to store
the lingerie in the suitcase.”
James stared at her in disbelief as he pointed at himself to confirm her thought.
Seeing Sophia nod without hesitation and gesturing at the door, he understood her intention
immediately.
When he bowed to put her lingeries into the suitcase, he stumbled on a corner of it, resulting in him
pushing Sophia onto the bed involuntarily.
Sophia shrieked at the sudden event. Seeing that they were in close proximity, she shot him a glare at
his clumsiness. When she was about to push James away, she noticed someone pushing the door
open.
She wrapped her arms around James’ neck even though he didn’t plan to maintain the position any
longer. However, he was forced to lean forward and ended up pressing a kiss onto her forehead
anyway.
At that exact moment, Arthur pushed the door open and found the two of them about to kiss on the
bed.
He narrowed his eyes at the sight and asked in an unamused voice, “What are you doing?”
