My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 791

“I‘m not riding.”

“What if I let you ride Artie‘s horse?”

Hearing that, Sophia was startled for a moment, but she shook her head in the end. “I really don‘t know how to ride a horse.”

All of a sudden, Emily clapped her hands, and her bodyguard appeared out of nowhere. Then, he carried Sophia up. “Get her up on that horse.” Emily pointed at a big horse.

Shocked, Sophia shouted, “Let me go! Let me go!”

However, no one could save her here since the racecourse was closed today, as though someone had purposely gotten rid of everyone here. This gave Emily the chance to mess with Sophia.

Sophia sat on the horse in fear, and she grabbed onto the bridle on the side instinctively. The next second, someone slapped the back of the horse, and it dashed forward at full speed. She was scared to death; she could only lie on the horse‘s back and hug its neck tightly.

While the horse was galloping, Sophia was screaming all the way. However, no one including Arthur–knew that someone had been riding a horse on the racecourse since early in the morning. He didn‘t sleep well last night either, since his head was full of the girl she met in the garden and that letter that she had handed him. He looked at it for the whole night but still had no idea when he wrote that to her.

At this moment, Arthur had ridden the horse to a field two miles away. This area was under his family‘s business and was also a good place for horse riding and relaxing. He wasn‘t the the–more–the–merrier kind, so he preferred to stay away from crowds.

However, after around 10 minutes, he heard a girl‘s scream from the woods. He was stunned for a few seconds because he had closed the racecourse today and prohibited anyone from riding horses. So, why are there people here?

The woman‘s scream was getting closer and closer to him, and he could hear her weeping helplessly.

Just then, he saw a horse galloping out of the woods, and a girl was lying on the horse‘s back and hugging tightly on its neck, frightening it and galloping away as though it was trying to fling the girl down from its back.

With his excellent eyesight, he saw that it was the girl he had met last night.

He was familiar with all the horses here, so he blew a whistle, and that frightened horse stopped instantly. It then neighed before turning around and galloping in his direction.

When it reached a few feet away from him, it raised its front legs and finally threw the girl down on its back.

“Ouch...” Sophia felt as though all the bones in her body were broken. Luckily, she fell onto a soft field, but it was still painful.

After the horse galloped away, a man‘s voice came to her ears. “It‘s you again?”

Instantly, she lifted her pale face and looked at the man in front of her following his long legs. Although she was in pain, she still couldn‘t hide her happiness. “Arthur!” she called his name in surprise.

Arthur squatted down and realized she wasn‘t standing up. “Are you hurt?”

Sophia‘s leg was injured, and it was so painful that she couldn‘t get herself up. So, she lay down on the field and decided to rest. “Ya. My whole body is in pain.”

“Who brought you here for horse riding?” he asked with a frown.

Hearing that, she felt bitter. Who else could it be? It‘s the woman whom you‘re marrying soon! Your wife in three days!

“I came here myself,” she simply said.

Arthur reached out his hands to her. “Here, take my hand.”

“My whole body aches. I don‘t want to get up.” She continued to lie down and turned around, looking at the sky. At this moment, she felt good all of a sudden.

The sky was clear, and she could see the man‘s face upside down. She took a deep breath, breathing in all the scents of the grass and flowers around her. She could even vaguely smell the unique cedar aroma on his body.

“Arthur, do you really love Miss Jennings?” Sophia asked her while blinking.

In Arthur‘s eyes, it didn‘t matter whether he loved her or not. Her father could bring him the research results that he wanted, and she was fit to be his wife. “I don‘t want to answer that.”

“You must love her then. She‘s actually quite pretty. You two are a match,” she muttered.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 792

“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.

Soon, Arthur returned to his horse and grabbed his water bottle to take a sip before passing it to her. “Would you like to have some?”

After all the shouting and screaming, Sophia couldn‘t help but feel thirsty, so she stood up and began to guzzle the water down her throat. Then, she returned the water bottle to Arthur, who said, “Alright, it‘s time to make a move. Let‘s go.”

Meanwhile, Sophia realized her ankle was sprained only when she stood up, struggling to walk as she limped. “How are we going to go back?”

“My horse is our only transport back, so of course, we‘re going to ride it back to where we came.” Arthur approached the lady on his horse, asking, “Would you like to sit behind or in front of me?”

“I‘m going to sit behind you.” Sophia was traumatized to sit in the front.

Arthur then got onto his horse in a charming manner, whereupon he extended his hand to grab Sophia‘s. Upon grabbing her palm, he pulled her up as she put her foot on the saddle‘s footrest and sat on the horseback. As soon as the horse started moving, she immediately wrapped her arms around the man‘s waist due to the sudden jerk from the burst of acceleration, her chest completely leaning on his back. At the same time, Arthur didn‘t spur his horse but instead rode it back slowly with Sophia, who was seen with a blushed face behind him. Although the scent wafting from the man was no stranger to her, she could still feel the thrill the first time she caught his scent.

Sitting behind the man, Sophia didn‘t hide the admiration in her eyes as she stared at the back of his head. At the same time, she somehow felt safe and secure when she caught the familiar scent of the man with her eyes fixed upon his firm back. Nevertheless, Arthur knitted his eyebrows just when she tightened her arms around his waist. At the same time, he squinted, feeling the lady‘s soft skin rubbing against his back as he somehow seemed to feel turned on. In fact, Arthur had been abstaining from all pleasures of the flesh recently, as he only cared about handling his work and marrying a wife. However, as he spent more time keeping to himself in solitude without socializing with anyone else, he became temperamental and was easily provoked by small mistakes his maids made.

Despite his respect for the elderly, Arthur kept his distance from them, including his grandmother. Although he wanted to get closer to them, he simply couldn‘t bring himself to do that, as if something was holding him back.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 793

Nonetheless, Arthur felt somewhat insecure with the lady‘s wiggling body right behind him, wondering what magic she had that made him feel aroused. Is she purposely trying to turn me on? Sensing the feelings Sophia had for him, he couldn‘t help feeling annoyed, as he suspected she was doing that intentionally. “Sit still and quit moving.” He gave an order in a cold manner.

However, Sophia reckoned she could barely control herself because her legs were hanging freely in the air. If she didn‘t wrap her arms tightly around his waist, she could fall from the horseback anytime. “Thanks for having come to my rescue last night, Young Master Weiss.” Sophia tried to start a conversation with the man.

“I haven‘t seen anyone as dumb as you are.” Arthur grunted coldly.

Sophia then pursed her lips and smiled, feeling glad that the man was himself because he always called her dumb when they were together. However, instead of showing her disgust, he used that as a reason to love her and show her all the care she needed. Therefore, now that Arthur still called her dumb, she couldn‘t help but wonder whether she was really as dim–witted as the man thought. “I have to admit that I‘m dumb.” Sophia smiled in response.

“How did it feel for people like you as you grew up?” Arthur curiously looked at her.

In that instant, Sophia found those words somewhat familiar, as if he had asked her the same question before. She then smiled helplessly and replied, “I guess I didn‘t have a choice. I wasn‘t dumb until I met you.”

With his eyes looking forward, a smile flashed across Arthur‘s face as he wondered how she could shamelessly put the blame on him for being dumb.

In the meantime, Emily was sipping a cup of coffee in the cafeteria at the turf club when the person in charge suddenly approached her and said, “Here you are, Miss Jennings. Are you here for some horse riding today?”

“Nope. I‘m only here to take a seat.” Emily went on to ask, “Is the turf club

closed today?”

“Oh. No, it‘s not. Instead, it was Young Master Weiss who ordered us not to let anyone else in.”

“Why?” Emily asked in surprise.

“Because Young Master Weiss wants to have some solitude. He is actually on the turf.”

When Emily heard that, she nearly spilled the coffee in her hand, appearing surprised. “What did you say?! Young Master Weiss is on the turf?!”

“Yes, he is. In fact, he‘s been there since this morning until now, and it‘s been almost 2 hours.”

Upon hearing that answer, Emily bit her lip in a panicky manner and said, “I have a friend who just went for a horse ride. Hurry up and send someone to fetch her back. She is not too good with horse riding.” Deep down, she was praying hard for Sophia not to run into Arthur, knowing she would be blamed if anything happened to Sophia.

“Alright, I‘ll send someone to get your friend right now.” The person in charge replied, shifting his eyes to the window before he noticed a familiar figure. “Wait a minute. It‘s Young Master Weiss. He is back, and there is a lady sitting behind him. Is that your friend?”

On the other hand, Emily was glaring at the lady right behind Arthur intimidatingly, realizing it was none other than Sophia. Damn it! I can‘t believe I just created an opportunity for Sophia and Arthur! She angrily stomped off and exited the cafeteria, making her way toward Arthur. “You‘re back, Artie.” Emily greeted Arthur, as if nothing had ever happened.

As soon as Arthur got off the horse, the groom came closer and held the lead line around the horse‘s head to keep it still, whereupon he reached out his arms to carry Sophia off the horseback. When her feet touched the ground, she hissed in pain, stunning Arthur, who quickly carried her in his arms again. At the same time, he looked at the person in charge and said, “Get the driver ready. Her leg is injured.”

“You said you wanted to try some horse riding, Miss Goodwin. So, how was

it?” Emily gave Sophia an evil eye in a hostile manner, wanting to make the latter admit that it was her own mistake to ride the horse unsupervised, which had nothing to do with her.

In the meantime, Sophia knew what Emily was implying, but despite her rage, she couldn‘t dispute the fact that Emily was the one who was about to become Arthur‘s wife. In order to protect Arthur‘s reputation, she answered, “I fell down from the horse myself and got hurt, but don‘t worry about me, Miss Jennings. I‘ll live.”

“Artie, I could tell Henry to take Miss Goodwin home while I go on a horse ride with you,” Emily said, feeling jealous at the sight of their arms around each other‘s waist and neck.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 794

“No need for that. I‘ll take her back home myself.” For some reason, Arthur felt an urge to take Sophia back home by himself. At the same time, Sophia only looked at him in a stunned manner as she was reminded of the moment he once treated her this well.

While Arthur carried Sophia in his arms and walked toward the car that the person in charge had prepped for him, Emily was left stomping the ground behind her with regret and anger. Why on earth did I bring Sophia here and even end up creating the perfect opportunity for her to run into Arthur?! Besides the thought of that, she also noticed Arthur‘s sudden change in attitude as he was usually indifferent toward Sophia. Why does he still treat Sophia so well? I thought he‘d already forgotten about her. Didn‘t my father make sure of that? Emily was left behind as she helplessly watched the car he was in left.

Meanwhile, Sophia was stunned as she looked at the man sitting beside her. After all, he just took her away from the turf club and left his fiancée behind. Thus, she was worried that it would undermine the man‘s reputation if anyone knew what he did. Unwilling to tarnish his image, Sophia decided to force herself to walk without letting Arthur carry her as soon as they arrived at a hospital not far away from the manor. At the same time, Arthur got out of the car from the other side and circled around the vehicle to her. When he saw her holding onto the car door and limping, he frowned and asked, “Are you sure you can walk?”

“Y–Yes, I am.” Sophia nodded, refusing to let Arthur carry her because she didn‘t want to draw attention from the people around her in the hospital. However, as soon as she took two steps forward, she was overwhelmed by the pain in her ankle.

“Say it if you need me to carry you,” Arthur smiled and said.

“No.” Sophia confidently rejected the man. Nevertheless, as she continued to take extra steps further, she suddenly crouched down because she could no longer make herself walk. At that moment, she looked up and asked, “Can you get someone to fetch me a stretcher to carry me? It‘s too painful, and I can‘t walk.”

In response, Arthur grunted and replied, “You‘re asking for it.” He then bent over and carried her to the hospital‘s lobby not long before he took her to

the orthopedics department. After some diagnosis and examination, the doctor confirmed that she suffered from a ligament injury, which would heal in a matter of days with enough rest.

After that, Sophia returned to the manor with Arthur, who later carried her all the way to her bedroom. When Sophia finally settled down on the couch, she gazed at the sweat that was covering the man‘s forehead and said in a sympathetic manner, “I‘m sorry for all the trouble that you had to go through.”

Arthur suddenly crouched down and looked at her in a serious manner. “Do we know each other? Who am I to you?”

In the face of the man‘s intimidating gaze, Sophia didn‘t flinch but instead gazed at him gently as she lied. “Y–Yeah, we do know each other. You‘re... my friend.” Knowing Arthur was about to get married, she decided she shouldn‘t create any more unnecessary trouble that could keep him preoccupied and disturbed. For that, she believed it was her destiny to be forgotten by Arthur, although she used to blame him for his heartlessness in abandoning her for another woman. While she realized there was no meaning in discussing the past since his wedding was in three days, Martha‘s words still reverberated in her ears. Therefore, she knew she must suppress her love for him in order not to ruin the marriage that Martha had arranged for her grandson.

“A friend? How did I end up having such a dumb friend like you?” Arthur grunted in an annoyed manner.

Nevertheless, Sophia wasn‘t angry at the man‘s sarcastic reply at all but instead kept her head down with a smile. “You‘re right. It is true that you‘re friends with a dumb lady like me. But, if you don‘t believe in me, you could check your phone and see if there are pictures of me in there.”

“Do you have pictures of me on your phone too?” Arthur asked.

“Yeah.‘ Sophia had a lot of pictures of them on her phone. In fact, she even had videos of them, as well as their flirtatious chat history, that could indicate that they used to be lovers.

“Show them to me.” Arthur extended his arm and asked Sophia for the pictures.

Panicky, Sophia hid her phone behind her back. “No can do. There are too many secrets in my phone that I can‘t show to you.”

Arthur curled his lips upward and asked, “What secrets? Why can‘t I see them?”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 795

“There are… many pictures of me and my boyfriend, and I don‘t want to show them.” Sophia kept her head down, tears welling up in her eyes.

At the same time, Arthur felt a stab of pain in his chest that overwhelmed him all of a sudden as he asked with a deep voice, “Did you have a boyfriend?”

Sophia‘s eyes were filled with tears as she kept her head low. “Yes, I did, and he loved me very much.”

Arthur stood up with a glacial look. “I guess I shall make a move now. Just call the maid if you need anything.”

Sophia looked up and saw the door shut in dismay. He is gone. I can‘t believe he is gone. At the thought of that, she felt suffocated, wondering why he would forget about her. What happened to him after he returned to his family? What has he been through that traumatized him so much that he would forget a memory? What kind of suffering did he go through? The thought of that left Sophia with a sharp sting in her heart.

Meanwhile, there were two more men who wanted to know about Sophia‘s confusion more than anybody else–Elliot and Richard—as they had started to make their move. In the meantime, Richard had brought along a lot of military gear, including eavesdropping devices that he could use wherever he went. After all, he had a set of extraordinary skills that allowed him to sneak into any place without being noticed. In fact, even Johnny‘s lab, which was heavily guarded, didn‘t prove to be enough to stop Richard, who was able to infiltrate the place stealthily. At that moment, Richard was in the room with Elliot as they appeared to be standing in front of the computer.

With a pair of firm eyes that appeared on his face, Richard had been sitting there the whole day because he didn‘t want to miss any single piece of information that could prove useful. Having planted his eavesdropping devices all over the place, he reckoned nothing should escape his ear, including the maids‘ murmurs. Soon, he squinted the moment he heard a lady‘s voice in his earpiece.

“Mom, is Dad back? I have something important to ask him.”

Richard immediately tuned into the source of the voice, realizing it was coming from Johnny‘s house. Therefore, he squinted and carefully listened in on their conversation.

“Why are you looking for Dad, Emily? You shouldn‘t be running here and there because there is still a lot that you have to do for your wedding. Don‘t forget. You‘re going to become the prettiest bride ever.”

“Mom, do you know why Artie is treating everyone else so coldly? I‘m about to be his wife, but he treats me so indifferently. He won‘t even hold my hand. What‘s wrong with him?”

“Come on, silly girl. As soon as he marries you, I‘m sure he will be much closer to you than he is now. Thus, all we have to do now is make sure the wedding goes on successfully.”

“B–But... Sophia is here. She got injured at the turf club today, but Artie carried her in his arms right in front of me like I didn‘t exist. Do you know how mad I was to see that? I thought he would treat everybody coldly, but it looked like that was not the case with Sophia. Mom, it seems that he hasn‘t completely forgotten about her. He still loves Sophia.”

“What? No way. I thought he forgot about that lady a long time ago?” Vera responded in a surprised manner.

“Exactly. That‘s why I wanted to ask Dad how I could make Artie forget about Sophia. I don‘t want him to be thinking about Sophia after we get married.”

On the other hand, Richard knitted his eyebrows when he heard that through his eavesdropping device. Well, it appears that I just found something useful. So, it was Johnny who did something to Arthur‘s memory, which he erased with some sort of biotechnology. The drug‘s side effect is exactly the reason that explains why Arthur treats everybody so coldly.

“Elliot, Johnny did something to Artie‘s memory. He erased his memory about a girl for the sake of his daughter‘s happiness. Now, Artie is suffering from neurological damage, which explains his indifferent and temperamental attitude.”

“Johnny is controlling Artie to make him marry his daughter against his will. If this goes on, Artie will end up as one of his guinea pigs and pawns.

This man must not be allowed to do any more harm to the Weiss Family. We must expose him!” Elliot could no longer hide his agitated emotions.

“When Artie lost his mother, he was so hurt and devastated that he decided to dedicate his life to biological studies so that his people wouldn‘t have to suffer from the same disease any longer. However, he didn‘t know that Johnny would use his life‘s work against him and make him a part of his experiment. I wish he‘d seen that coming.” Richard finished his words and looked at Elliot. “What do we do now? Should we tell Artie about it?”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 796

“Let’s gather all the evidence we need first and expose him on his daughter‘s wedding day. That way, we could show all the guests his true colors without letting them know we‘re onto them. What do you think?” Elliot made his

point.

“I guess you have a point. If Johnny knows we‘re onto them, he could destroy the experiment results and leave no evidence behind.”

As Richard continued to keep tabs on the Jennings Family, Johnny later returned home but didn‘t discuss the matter with anyone until it was 9.00PM later that night. At that moment, he brought up the matter to his wife and discussed it with her in the study.

“Johnny, Emily said the lady that Arthur met overseas is back. She also said she was very close with him, so please do something to make him forget about her completely.”

Johnny was surprised to hear that. “How is that possible? I‘ve been watching him and noticed symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorder. So, there is no way he‘ll show anyone else affection. Instead, he‘ll only behave like a robot to everyone else.”

“What about Emily? Is she going to be treated like that too, when they both get married? Is her marriage going to be destroyed if that‘s the case?”

“Don‘t worry. I‘m working on creating some fake memories of him and Emily. By then, he is going to love her very dearly.”

“Really? Are you sure this is going to work?”

“My experiment will soon be a success as soon as both of them get married. So, Emily won‘t have to wait much longer before she is going to have the happy life I’m going to give her.”

“It looks like I‘m going to have to drive Sophia away from the family to keep Arthur from ever thinking about her again. If we don‘t put a stop to it, there is no telling when she‘ll ruin Emily‘s wedding.”

When Richard heard that, he knitted his eyebrows, thinking it was perhaps

time to remind his good friend about the imminent danger. Therefore, he decided to help Arthur win back the heart of the woman he loved and left an anonymous note behind. When Arthur returned later, he saw a note on the desk and picked it up to take a closer look at it. ‘Sophia is in grave danger. Please protect her at all costs, or you‘re going to regret it!

Upon reading the note, Arthur couldn‘t help but feel stunned by the person who wrote the anonymous note because he couldn‘t understand why Sophia would be in danger. Nevertheless, he was quickly reminded of the strange incident that happened earlier that day when Sophia fell off the horse at the turf club. Is someone plotting against her?

At that moment, Arthur‘s mind was flooded with images of Sophia‘s face just as he recalled something he had just discovered earlier. I just asked. The reason Sophia will show up during my wedding is that he is the assistant of my friend, Elliot, but why would someone take an assistant like her to the turf club and let her ride a crazy horse? She may be dumb, but I doubt she is so foolish that she‘d put her life at risk. At the thought of that, Arthur looked back at the note one more time, his eyebrows frowning as he slowly began to recognize Richard‘s handwriting.

Wait a second. This looks like that fella‘s handwriting. Is this from him? Because of that, he reckoned it was necessary to take the matter seriously, or Richard wouldn‘t have left him a warning like that so suddenly. Well, if I‘m going to protect Sophia, I guess the only way to do that is to keep her by my side all the time. If I can watch her all the time, she should be safe. Soon, Arthur stepped out the door and summoned his butler, whom he ordered to arrange a room for Sophia next to his.

“Is there any specific reason, Young Master Weiss?” the butler asked in surprise.

“Nothing. I‘d like to have a word with her about something in the next few days. “Arthur finished his words and retreated to his own room before the butler ordered the maid to tidy up the guest room next to his. After that, he headed upstairs to fetch Sophia down to her new room.

In the meantime, Sophia was spaced out in the room, her eyes still tearful because she had just cried for no good reason not long ago. However, the doorbell outside her room suddenly rang, whereupon she limped toward the door and opened it. Then, she was greeted by a man in a classic suit and curiously asked him his purpose of visit. “How may I help you?”

“Miss Sophia, we‘re getting a new room, so please pack your luggage and belongings.”

“Um. Why is that so? I‘m good with this room.” Sophia refused to impose on anyone.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 797

“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.

After Sophia took care of her luggage, the maids carried them out of the room for her while the butler came back to her with a wheelchair. “Miss Goodwin, please sit in this wheelchair. It should make it easier for you.”

“Thank you very much, sir.” Sophia was embarrassed.

As soon as Sophia sat in the wheelchair, the butler wheeled her out the door all the way to the garden. When Sophia looked in the direction in which the butler was wheeling her, she was stunned to see the manor‘s main building instead of the guest room beside it. Upon that realization, she couldn‘t help but ask herself where the butler was taking her. Soon, they arrived at the

elevator, which they took to reach a room on the fourth floor. At the sight of the grand–looking interior, the lady was left with her jaw wide open. Wait a minute! This place looks so magnificent that it is meant for the owner to live in, not the guests. Sophia then looked around her until her gaze fell upon a man sitting on the couch. As the evening sunlight shone on him, he seemed especially charming and handsome, especially in his white button–down paired with a plaid vest. At the same time, the fact that he was crossing his legs in his sitting posture only served to make him look even more attractive. Isn‘t that Arthur? 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.

“Your leg is injured, so it‘s more convenient for you to be taken care of staying here.” Arthur brushed her off with an excuse,

Sophia shook her head and replied, “No need for that. I’ll be fine in a matter of days with enough rest. So, I should probably return to the guest room without imposing on you.”

Nevertheless, Arthur soon wheeled her into the room and responded with a commanding voice, “My house, my rules.”

“B–But... wouldn‘t this be inappropriate, considering the fact that you‘re about to marry Miss Jennings? I can‘t be staying here with you, can I? What if she misunderstands the situation...?” Although Sophia was tempted to stay close to Arthur, she didn‘t want to ruin his reputation.

“I‘ll explain to her if she misunderstands.” Arthur finished his words, but when he noticed her still sitting in the wheelchair, he asked, “Are you going to try and walk yourself? Or do you need me to carry you from the wheelchair?”

“I‘m going to walk by myself.” Sophia finished her words and held the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair, desperate to show the man that she could take care of herself, only to be tripped by the armrests. “Ah...” Staggering, she fell forward and instinctively hugged the thing that she thought would make her feel most secure–Arthur‘s waist. At the same time, the man also extended his arms and wrapped them around her to make sure she wouldn‘t get hurt from the fall.

The next second, Sophia found her head resting on Arthur‘s firm chest. As she could hear his steady heartbeat, her heartbeat was somehow raised by a few BPMs. Great! I oversold my mobility and ended up in his awkward embrace. “Thank you.” Sophia then quickly stood up, backing away from Arthur with her cheeks blushing bashfully.

Meanwhile, Arthur looked down at her, somehow finding Sophia‘s face strangely attractive as he simply couldn‘t take his eyes off her. He then seized her arm and helped her walk to the couch, where he sat her down. When Sophia sank into the couch, she heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the man. “I‘m fine now, so you may leave and attend to your own business.”

Upon hearing the lady‘s words, Arthur walked away while the maids stayed behind to tidy her luggage and place her clothes in the wardrobe. Soon,

when the maids were finally gone, the room was back to its peaceful state, with Sophia left sitting on the couch in a bitter manner. Deep down, she could sense the man‘s feelings for her even though he appeared to have forgotten about her.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 798

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.

Meanwhile, a maid, who was in the garden, reached for her phone and dialed Emily‘s number. “Hello.”

“There is something I want to tell you, Miss Jennings. Young Master Weiss just arranged a guest room next to his bedroom for Sophia and even dined with her earlier tonight. If you ask me, they seemed to be interacting with each other pretty intimately.”

“What? What a b*tch! How shameless of her to seduce Artie knowing that I‘m about to marry him!” Emily was exasperated.

“Miss Jennings, I suggest that you move in here right away. After all, there are only 2 more days until your wedding, so you must make sure nothing goes wrong!”

“Alright, I‘m moving in tomorrow.” Emily had no choice but to postpone her plan to the next day, thinking it was too late for her to do that. Soon, she mentioned what she had just learned to her mother, Vera, who also agreed that Sophia was trying to ruin her daughter‘s wedding. For that, Vera decided to confront Sophia the next day to make her leave Arthur‘s manor, or she would smear her name and make her a sinner by telling the outside world that she was the one who seduced Arthur.

In the meantime, Sophia decided to take a shower despite the overwhelming pain around her ankle when it was 9.00PM. Not long after she entered the bathroom, someone knocked on her room door, but when she didn‘t answer it, the man standing outside frowned and wondered whether she was already asleep. Is she in bed already? But it‘s only 9.00PM now. There is no way she sleeps so early. In fact, Arthur was thinking of telling the maid to prepare him some supper just when he thought he should also ask her about that since she didn‘t eat much during dinner. Thus, he turned the doorknob and opened it, easily entering the room as the door wasn‘t locked. “Are you there, Sophia?” Arthur called out to the lady.

Nevertheless, Arthur‘s response was only met with silence. Noticing how tidy the room was, he began to believe Sophia was not in her room but continued to wonder where she could be in her condition. Just when he was about to leave the room, he suddenly heard a scream that was filled with horror and fear from the bathroom. “Ah...” As his heart skipped a beat, he barged into the bathroom without hesitation, only to see the naked lady lying on the tiled floor after her shower.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 799

Arthur‘s first thought was to turn his back and ask anxiously, “What‘s the matter with you?”

Sophia didn‘t expect him to be in the bathroom because he had just rushed in without hesitation. “I–I slipped.” Her legs were still not their usual self, so when she came out of the bathtub just now, she slipped.

She felt extremely embarrassed for him to see her like this. Although they were intimate before, and she expressed herself easily in front of him, the situation was different now.

Sophia‘s face blushed involuntarily. She wanted to get up, but she found that her waist hurt so much that she couldn‘t get up on her own. She could only ask, “Will you hold me up?”

Arthur breathed a long sigh. He turned around, then looked at the girl on the ground. His eyes did not avoid her; instead, he came over and carried her naturally. On the other hand, Sophia felt mortified. To her, Arthur, who lost his memory, was undoubtedly nothing different from a stranger. He had forgotten her and everything they once had.

Arthur carried her to the sofa, then quickly took a bath towel and draped it over her. At the same time, he thought that if he didn‘t come in, what could she have done?

If another man came in and she fell like this, would she also let that man carry her out?

All these thoughts caused Arthur‘s eyes to narrow a bit.

Seated on the couch, Sophia tightly wrapped herself in a bath towel as she continued blushing hard. Then, she pleaded, “Will you go to the closet and get me some pajamas?”

Arthur got up and went over to bring it to her. Then, he turned his back and did not look like he was going to leave.

“Get changed,” he said.

Sophia couldn‘t help but hesitate for a few seconds. “Go out! I‘m fine now; you don’t have to stay here.”

Arthur didn‘t leave; he snorted. “You have no ability to take care of yourself right now.”

“That‘s my business! It has nothing to do with you, Young Master Weiss,” Sophia said bitterly, her eyes turning red.

Arthur‘s chest couldn‘t help tightening, and he found an excuse to say, “You are my guest, so I can‘t let you meet with an accident.”

“No, I‘m not your guest at all. I was able to come to your wedding this time because I pestered Anastasia about it. Otherwise, I wouldn‘t even be qualified to attend your wedding.” Sophia choked up.

If she didn‘t know Anastasia, she wouldn‘t even know that he was getting married. She would wait for him to come back like a fool in the country all her life, and then he would never come back for the rest of her life.

“Since you‘re here, you‘re my guest.” Arthur had plenty of excuses.

Sophia covered her face as tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes. Choking up, she suddenly felt extremely hurt.

Arthur turned around and found that she was not wearing clothes. Instead, she covered her face and cried. He couldn‘t help but ask in a low voice, “What are you crying for?”

Gasping, Sophia sniffed, wiping tears from her face in a panic. “Don‘t worry about me; just go!” Before, she cried under the dim lights in the garden. Now, when she cried, the sadness in her eyes and her tears were as clear as

day.

Her sadness gripped his heart, as if her grief was also infecting him, causing his emotions to recover gradually. Emotions that could not be suppressed by drugs filled his chest, causing him to turn around involuntarily and squat down by her side. Then, he raised his hand to wipe her tears away.

Why does this feel like second nature?

When he was still stunned by his behavior, Sophia pushed his hand away.

“No, thank you.”

She spoke in a very polite voice.

Inexplicably, Arthur was a little annoyed. She was clearly crying because of him. He wanted to comfort her, but she refused to let him. We‘re just running in circles if this goes on.

“I‘ll ask someone to prepare a late–night snack. You can come out to eat later.” Arthur didn‘t ask anymore and simply decided for her.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 786

Behind him, Eliot also said gently, “Wait for my return, and call me if anything happens.”

“I‘ll be fine. Go ahead!” Anastasia was actually a little tired, and she wanted to rest for a bit.

Eliot and Richard went out together. They asked about Arthur‘s whereabouts, then went straight to him.

Just then, Arthur was in the garden walking his beloved pet. He was sitting on the couch as he watched the Doberman dig holes in the ground. He usually cared for it like it was his own son, but he just told it to stop in a lazy tone, saying, “Gritt, stop it.”

Gritt let out a pampered whine, then immediately went over to him and rubbed its head against his arms. Then, it sniffed all around him, perhaps also noticing that its master was less enthusiastic now, thinking that Arthur probably didn‘t love it anymore.

“What‘s wrong?” Arthur frowned as he looked at the dog, then reached out and patted it. “You like walks, don‘t you? Go and play!”

However, Gritt remained in his arms, reluctant to leave. Its large mouth rubbed against his arm as it let out more whimpers.

“You‘re making my clothes dirty.” Arthur pushed its big mouth away, then picked up a ball beside him before throwing it into the distance. “Fetch.”

Just then, Gritt‘s ears perked up when it sensed someone coming.

Soon, Gritt started barking before it ran over to the visitors, letting out another type of joyful whimper.

Richard and Eliot both smiled as they looked at this large dog with loving gazes. Gritt was a puppy they had picked out together, and the little guy in the past was now enormous.

Arthur turned to look at the two. He simply looked at them, not even expressing welcome.

Eliot‘s emotions right now were undoubtedly the same as Richard‘s not long ago. He looked at Arthur, who was seated there and didn‘t even seem to bother getting up. There was a faint smile in Arthur‘s eyes. “You‘re here.”

“See? With your expressions like that, I might even think that we‘re not welcome to your wedding!” Richard complained. He was a man of few words, but this time,

Arthur had stimulated the expansion of his words.

Eliot had prepared himself beforehand, so he calmly took a seat across from Arthur. then chatted with the latter as usual.

“Congratulations, Artie. I never thought I‘d attend your wedding this soon.”

“Did you come here alone? Where‘s Anastasia and Jared?” Arthur asked.

“I didn‘t bring Jared this time, but Anastasia is resting in the room. She‘s looking forward to meeting your wife; perhaps you can arrange for them to meet tomorrow,” Eliot said.

“Sure, I can do that.” With that, Arthur glanced at his watch. “I have a video conference to attend, so I‘ll go back to my study now. We can talk more tomorrow.”

“Hey, you can‘t leave like that.” Richard didn‘t want Arthur to leave, so he went up and stopped the latter.

Arthur frowned, retracting his hand reluctantly. “Let go, Richard.”

“We just arrived, but you‘re already leaving? That‘s no way to treat your best friends.” Richard wanted to evoke even stronger emotions from Arthur.

However, Arthur just said in exasperation, “Pardon me if I‘m lacking in hospitality.”

“What about a fight?” Richard wanted to throw hands now.

“I can‘t win against you.” Arthur wasn‘t stupid.

“Right, you‘ve never won against me. What I meant was that I‘ve never lost since day one.” Richard continued provoking him.

At the side, Eliot didn‘t stop the fight; he simply observed the reactions on Arthur‘s face. There was indeed something wrong.

Arthur used to be a competitive person, but now, he only wore a bored expression as he retracted his hand and said, “I do admit that I can‘t win against you. If there‘s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”

Richard simply watched him leave, wide–eyed. Then, he turned back to Eliot and said, “See? He‘s just so indifferent, and it‘s no use provoking him. Something must be wrong.”

However, Arthur, who hadn‘t gone very far, seemingly had superior listening. He suddenly turned around and walked back to them as he asked Richard, “What‘s wrong with me?”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 800

Sophia’s heart softened. “Thank you.”

Next, Arthur put the paper on the table beside her. “Cry if you want to! You can call me if you have any issues.”

Sophia was stunned for a few seconds. Considering how kind he was to her, she suddenly wondered if he did remember her and still liked her.

However, these questions were meaningless because his wedding would be held the day after tomorrow. What‘s the point of life now that he‘ll be someone else‘s sweetheart soon?

The servants outside prepared two portions of supper. They were light and delicious, and Arthur came knocking on the door again.

Sophia opened the door after changing into a set of casual clothes. As she limped out, the man naturally supported her. She looked up at him and saw a servant nearby, so she hastily withdrew her arm. “There‘s no need. Thank you.”

But just as she was stumbling out, the man‘s arm that was pushed away came over again and held her arm firmly, not allowing her to refuse.

Sitting at the table, Sophia was famished. So, she lowered her head and ate.

The servant also left wisely. In the quiet dining room with gentle lighting, the man seated in front seemed to have no appetite. He just stared at the thin girl under the light from time to time.

He glanced at her phone again, really wanting to see if she also had his photo on her phone and to know how close they were to each other..…

“Do you really have a boyfriend?” Arthur asked again. He was beyond shocked when he heard her say that last time.

Sophia raised her head and nodded earnestly. “Yes.”

“Do you live together?”

“In fact, we do,” Sophia answered naturally.

Arthur put the spoon down with a clang. For some reason, it sounded like he was upset.

Sophia was startled and looked at the man opposite, who stared back at her with a dazzling gaze. “When are you getting married?” he asked.

“Why do you ask this?”

“Since you‘re coming to my wedding, I will also go to your wedding,” Arthur announced domineeringly.

Sophia was taken aback for a few seconds, and her thoughts became a little muddled. She bitterly thought that he would never be able to attend her wedding because she didn‘t have any hope of marriage in the future at all.

She would never meet a man she loved more than him.

“No need. It‘s just a simple meal between the families. We will not invite other guests,” Sophia replied.

Arthur tugged at the front of his shirt as if something made him extremely uncomfortable. He lifted his head and asked, “Sophia, then why were you crying like that for me?”

Sophia blinked her eyes, feeling panicky. She turned her face away and said, “I‘m not crying for you. Don‘t think about it too much. I just so happen to have a... melancholic temperament.”

Although Arthur had an emotional disorder, he was not stupid! He was clear about who she was crying for.

“No, you don‘t. You‘re crying for me.” I need to know! Admit it!

In reality, Sophia had no courage to come clean to him. She didn‘t dare to admit that all her grief came from him, so she stirred the porridge and said, “No, I cry often. It‘s better for me to cry once in a while.”

This excuse was a bit of a reach, but there was no other explanation.

Arthur took a deep breath. He seemed to be even more annoyed and

snorted coldly. “Who would believe in your dumb reasoning?”

“It doesn‘t matter if you believe it or not, Young Master Weiss. I sincerely wish you a great wedding and a happy marriage,” Sophia raised her head and said to him.

Arthur bit his thin lip and pressed his tongue against his cheek. Obviously, his mood fluctuated somewhat abnormally.

When others wished him a happy marriage, he had no feeling or even response, but when she said it, it made him feel bad. He was even very unwilling to hear it.

“I‘ll be happy in marriage,” Arthur replied to her.

Then, he got up and said, “I‘m done eating. Have a restful evening.”

He seemed to be rather angry. After he left, Sophia felt a little lonely in the big dining hall.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 801

Sophia no longer wanted to eat because her chest felt tight, and an inexplicable feeling of wanting to cry came again.

Thus, she went back to her room, but she didn‘t know that at the end of the corridor, a figure stood in the shadows and watched her go back to the room.

That night, Sophia cried many times and didn‘t sleep well at all.

Early morning the next day, there was a knock on her door. Sophia opened the door and saw an extravagantly dressed woman standing at the door. She asked in surprise, “Are you looking for me?”

“Let‘s talk.” Vera stared at Sophia, looking a little serious.

“May I know who you are?”

“I‘m Emily Jennings‘ mother,” Vera revealed her identity directly, then walked into the bedroom and sat down on the sofa.

Sophia caught her breath. She didn‘t expect Emily‘s mother to find her in person, but she walked over calmly on crutches. Vera frowned. “What‘s wrong with your leg?”

“What‘s wrong with my leg? I think your daughter knows best,” Sophia replied calmly.

“What? Don‘t blame everything on my daughter. My daughter is going to get married tomorrow. I also know about the past history between you and Young Master Weiss. I hope you don‘t cause any trouble and hinder the happiness of my daughter,” Vera bluntly explained her purpose for coming here.

Sophia was of course aware of this. She nodded and said, “Don‘t worry! I won‘t hinder your daughter‘s happiness; I‘m just here as one of the guests for the wedding.”

“I looked through the records of the guests, and it seems that you don‘t have an invitation. So, how did you come here, and what is your purpose? I

should ask the concierge to check it again.”

“No need. I am participating as my boss‘ assistant. She is the wife of Young Master Weiss‘ best friend,” Sophia explained seriously.

Vera sneered, “Very well! So, there is no place for you at tomorrow‘s banquet. You are just a subordinate, so you are not qualified to dine with the other guests, right?”

Sophia couldn‘t refute her words, so she nodded. “Yes, so I won’t go to the banquet.”

“How about this? I‘ll give you 1 million, and you can go back to your country now. Will you stop affecting my daughter‘s wedding here?” Vera wanted to bribe her.

Sophia refused almost immediately. “I’m here this time to accompany my boss on a business trip. I won‘t leave early. Mrs. Jennings, you don‘t need to bribe me, as I‘m not short of 1 million.”

Vera‘s face sank. “You don‘t know what‘s good for you, huh? I‘ll tell you clearly now that I want you to leave here today.”

Sophia shook her head. “I can‘t agree to that.”

“Let me ask you this. Why do you live in Young Master Weiss‘ house if you‘re just a low–level subordinate? Moreover, your room is next door to his?” Vera asked.

Sophia choked. “This is Young Master Weiss‘ arrangement, and I don‘t know anything about that.”

“I think you are very happy about it, right? Sophia, now everyone knows that you are seducing my future son–in–law. Are you really so shameless? Have you ever respected my daughter? The servants are watching you being intimate with my son–in–law now. It won‘t be good for my daughter and my son–in–law‘s reputation in the future. You should know better.” Vera looked at her sternly.

Sophia was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled and replied, “Originally, my legs were well, and I didn‘t need Young Master Weiss to carry me. However, your daughter tied me to a runaway horse, and then I fell and injured my

legs. Then, I happened to meet Young Master Weiss. He carried me out of concern for me, so what can I do?”

“You… Shameless brat!” Vera couldn‘t help but get angry. She thought Sophia would be easy to deal with, but it seemed that it was not that simple.

Sophia didn‘t want to offend her, so she continued, “I can guarantee that I will not hinder your daughter‘s happiness. I will go back to my country after attending the wedding, and I will never set foot in this country again.”

Vera narrowed her eyes. Obviously, she didn‘t believe it. “Can you really do what you say?”

“I can.” Sophia nodded.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 802

Thus, Vera had to get up. “Okay. After attending the wedding, you should leave immediately. Otherwise, I will not let you go.”

Seeing Vera leave, Sophia could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she was extremely bitter.

Tomorrow, she couldn‘t even go to the banquet because she wasn‘t qualified. At the same time, she thought that it might be better not to go, as she really couldn‘t watch him marry another woman.

After Vera left, Sophia completely forgot to eat lunch, constantly feeling depressed. It was Arthur‘s wedding the next day, and it was as if a boulder was pressing on her chest, making her breathless.

Thinking of not being able to go to the banquet and seeing him in the groom‘s suit, she couldn‘t help but feel a little disappointed.

At this moment, someone knocked on her door. Therefore, she walked over weakly and opened the door, but when she saw the man standing outside, her heart broke instantly.

Suddenly, she slammed the door shut because her tears fell so unexpectedly. She covered her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying.

Outside the door, Arthur just came over to remind her to have lunch, but surprisingly, the woman inside shut the door in his face as soon as she saw

him.

Arthur couldn‘t help but frown. He curled his fingers and immediately knocked again. “Sophia, open the door.”

“I don‘t want to eat!” Sophia shouted through the door.

He was originally a little unhappy, but suddenly he thought of something, and his voice softened a little. “Is something wrong?”

“It‘s okay. You can go! I want to sleep.”

“Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I didn‘t sleep well last night.”

Arthur looked at the door and suddenly wanted to push it open, wanting to see what had happened to the girl inside. Why did she close the door in such a hurry when she saw me?

He turned around and met a servant. He stopped the servant and questioned, “Did anyone visit Miss Goodwin in the morning?”

The servant thought for a moment and said, “Oh! Yes, Mrs. Jennings came to visit Miss Goodwin in the morning.”

Arthur was slightly taken aback. Why did Emily‘s mother suddenly come to see Sophia?

Although he wanted to get to the bottom of things, he had errands to run. Thus, he said to the servant, “Keep an eye on Miss Goodwin‘s room. If anyone goes in to look for her again, or if she goes out, report to me.”

“Okay, Young Master Weiss.” The servant hurriedly agreed. Why does it seem to me like he cares more about this Miss Goodwin than his fiancee? This is odd...

In the guest room, Anastasia was sitting on the sofa, listening to the two handsome men discussing tomorrow‘s wedding. She also just knew that Arthur had been manipulated.

No wonder he forgot Sophia as soon as he returned to the family. Moreover, the Jennings Family was too audacious to use this kind of controlling method on the future master of the Weiss Family. The future of the Weiss Family would also be in the hands of the Jennings Family.

At this moment, Anastasia‘s cell phone rang, after which she picked it up. “Sophia is looking for me. I‘ll go over there, so you guys carry on.”

“Anastasia, don‘t tell Miss Goodwin about this for the time being because we still need to keep it a secret,” Elliot reminded her.

“Okay, I know.” She nodded.

He felt that his words were a little inappropriate, so he got up and said, “You know what? I‘ll bring you there.”

Anastasia didn‘t feel that way. Instead, she was as worried about the fate of the Weiss Family as they were, and she hoped that Arthur could regain his memory and have a bright future with Sophia.

As soon as they left the room, Elliot took her hand and wrapped her shoulders with his arm. “What I said just now was inappropriate, and I take it back. Please don‘t take it to heart.”

She shook her head. “Chill, I know.”

He kissed her hair lovingly. Then, he sent Anastasia in the direction of Sophia, and in the garden downstairs, she saw Sophia waiting for her there, so she asked Elliot to go back.

“Anastasia!” Sophia came over happily and held her arm intimately.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 803

“Sophia, what‘s wrong with your eyes? Have you cried again?” Anastasia noticed that Sophia‘s eyes were red.

Sophia lowered her head, a little embarrassed. “I tried very hard to control myself, but I still can‘t control it.” Tomorrow was Arthur‘s wedding day. No one could bear to watch their loved one marry someone else, so Anastasia wondered if it was right to bring her here.

However, she knew that Arthur‘s wedding would not be successful, and Sophia was still very likely to continue her relationship with Arthur

“Sophia, do you believe in fate? Sometimes fate favors kind and loving people. I believe that fate has its own arrangements for you, and it won‘t make you feel so miserable all the time,” Anastasia comforted her.

Sophia smiled bitterly. “Anastasia, are you trying to say that I can meet someone better?” “Trust me, girl. Your destiny will turn for the better.” Anastasia reached out and gathered Sophia‘s messy hair. Then, she added, “How does Young Master Weiss treat you?” Sophia thought of her leaving him outside the door today and ignoring him.

Presumably, he would be angry with her too!

“He‘s been nice to me.” Sophia was also keeping a secret. She didn‘t tell Anastasia that she couldn‘t go to the wedding tomorrow. In fact, as long as she told Anastasia, the latter would find a way to take her there.

The two chatted about some other topics as they strolled around the garden, and unknowingly they also established a kind of sister–like relationship.

Anastasia had experienced Hayley‘s betrayal, which made her more cautious about making friends. Now, besides Felicia, Grace was the person she trusted.

Now, there was Sophia, whom she cared for like a sister.

Since their partners were best friends, they naturally also would become best friends.

A little later, Anastasia went back, and Sophia also went back to her room.

Arthur‘s figure appeared in the hall, and the first thing he asked the servant was, “Has she eaten?” “Miss Goodwin went out for a while, but she hasn‘t eaten.” The servant was also helpless about it.

“Prepare dinner!” After Arthur finished speaking, he thought of something and frowned. “Tell my grandma that I won‘t go over to eat.” “Okay, Young Master Weiss.” The servant left.

Arthur walked to Sophia‘s door, reached out, and knocked on the door. Sophia thought it was a servant again, so she stretched out her hand to open the door.

When the man was revealed outside the door, it surprised her. However, the man‘s long legs had already taken a step, and he had entered the room, not allowing her to close the door.

“I–Is there something you need?” Sophia asked in a panic.

“Are you immortal? You don‘t need to eat?” Arthur stared at her angrily.

Sophia blinked and said hoarsely, “I–I‘m not hungry.” However, just after she finished speaking, her stomach seemed to let out a few protesting noises. In an instant, Sophia blushed and wanted to dig a hole to hide in the ground, The corner of Arthur‘s mouth twitched, and the smile growing on the corner of his mouth was the most intense expression he had shown in so many days.

He was smiling Sophia raised her head and glanced at him, only to find that he was smiling handsomely, which made her bow her head in embarrassment.

“Join me for dinner, will you?” After Arthur finished speaking, he stretched out her hand to lead her out.

Seeing that, Sophia withdrew her hand in a panic. “I will go by myself.” If she was seen by the servant, she would definitely be reported to Vera again.

Therefore, she thought that Vera had come to see her because there was a spy among the servants.

However, Arthur‘s grip was too tight, and she couldn‘t break free, so she had to go to the dining room this way. Under the crystal lights, candles were lit, and the red roses in the vase were freshly cut in the garden in the afternoon, which made the air full of their intoxicating aroma.

Sophia‘s thoughts were a little jammed. Why does this dinner look like a candlelight dinner that only lovers would have?

 

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 804

The servants fixed up a hearty candlelight dinner and had served up the feast in advance.

As Arthur chewed gracefully, he latched his gaze on the young woman sitting across from her as though to make sure she ate everything on her plate.

Famished, Sophia couldn‘t care less anymore and ate away.

Martha had already informed Arthur to join her for dinner earlier in the afternoon. It would be his wedding day the next day, so she wanted to have a serious word with him. But who‘d have thought her beloved grandson rejected her? The news

got her down in the dumps. Moreover, Arthur had gotten distant from her, making her reflect that she had been too strict on him normally.

“Is he having dinner with Emily?” Martha asked a servant.

For fear of upsetting Martha, the servants kept Sophia‘s presence unknown to Martha all this while. But now, seeing how upset Martha was, she couldn‘t help lowering her head and reported, “Young Master Weiss is having dinner with another lady, Old Madam Weiss.” “What?” The news shocked Martha for a moment. “He‘s having dinner with another woman? Which family is she from?” What is Arthur trying to do? Tomorrow‘s his wedding; does he plan on humiliating himself before the wedding?!

“She‘s a guest,” the servant answered.

“What guest? Is it a friend? What‘s her name?” Martha asked directly.

“It‘s a guest from afar named Sophia Goodwin. She has also now been moved to the room next to Young Master‘s. I guess she‘s an important guest to Young Master,” said the servant.

The revelation shook Martha for a solid few seconds, and she slammed the spoon in her hand. “What?! She‘s here? How did she get here? Have the butler come over.” Sophia had come to attend the wedding. It was only then Martha realized she hadn‘t taken notice of the guest list when she had been so busy getting the other wedding details ready.

The butler arrived in two shakes, and Martha questioned him gravely. “Go. and check if there‘s a guest named Sophia Goodwin on the list.” “There is, ma‘am. She came with Mr. and Mrs. Presgrave as Mrs. Presgrave‘s assistant.” Martha sighed in response. What is she doing here? Is she still trying to salvage something when Arthur‘s about to get married? Well, she‘s persistent, no doubt about that. It‘s evident she truly loves Arthur, but it‘s hard to let them be together when their social status and family background are so drastically different.

“Bring her here later. I want to have a word with her,” Martha ordered a servant.

“Yes, ma‘am.” “Have her come alone. Don‘t inform Arthur,” Martha added.

If Arthur still has feelings for Sophia, why would he agree to this marriage so easily?

By the end of the dinner, Arthur left after receiving a call. Sophia, on the other hand, didn‘t return to her room but instead sat in the garden and spaced out while staring at the starry sky.

The sky here was so clear that she could see a speckle of the galaxy. It was a sight to behold.

How Sophia wished time could just stop here forever. She wouldn‘t be greedy and ask for much, only that she could have a meal with him and see him once a day.

That would suffice for her.

But very quickly, she pulled a wry smile. She was already getting greedy, wasn‘t she?!

What luck did she have to stay by his side forever?! She, too, lately sensed something very different about Arthur. She remembered their first encounter; how he was so angry that he could murder her the next second.

She could also sense the fluctuation in his emotions as days went by. His aloofness and nobility were intense, and the haughtiness exuded from deep within him was irresistible as well.

But the current him–as aloof as he still was–was emotionless like he eared about nothing at all. Just what in the world had gotten into him?

While reeling, a servant approached her and said, “Miss Goodwin, please follow me.” “Is someone looking for me?” O “You’ll know when you get there. Please.” The servant gestured a ‘please‘.

At that, Sophia got up and followed after her, traversing a grand hallway. The manor was so massive that one could get lost in it. Thus, it could take some time for a person to get from one place to another.

 

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 805

Sophia grew increasingly uneasy the further she walked, for she had a hunch who she would be meeting, and a pang of guilt and self–reproach arose within her.

She had already promised Martha back home that she would stay away from Arthur, but now, she had chased him all the way here and even snuck her name into the guest list. Just the thought of it made Sophia ashamed of meeting Arthur‘s grandmother.

Sure enough, she found Martha sitting on the couch when they arrived at a quaint hall. The older lady was dressed in a fitting dark silver dress, looking noble and majestic.

 

“Good evening, Old Madam Weiss,” Sophia greeted Martha.

Martha sized the young woman up in response, not in anger but amiably, pointing toward the seat across from hers. “Have a seat.” Arthur had wronged this young woman, after all, and she didn‘t need to ask to know what would happen between them had probably already happened. But now, Arthur was marrying another woman; this was unfair to her.

“I didn‘t expect you to have come, Miss Goodwin.” “I‘m sorry, Old Madam Weiss. Please forgive me for inviting myself. I swear I won‘t cause any trouble during Arthur‘s wedding,” Sophia promised eagerly as she looked up.

To that, Martha waved her hand. “No need to apologize. Everyone‘s a guest here.

All are welcome.” Sophia couldn‘t help being taken aback, and she had now witnessed for herself the older woman‘s noble demeanor. Martha‘s tolerance and kindness made Sophia grow increasingly self–reproaching and unable to face her.

“Tomorrow will be Arthur‘s big day. If you feel uncomfortable, I can make arrangements for you to tour around the area.” Martha had considered her feelings instead But Sophia shook her head. “Thank you for the arrangement, Old Madam Weiss, but I won‘t be attending the wedding tomorrow. I‘ll be returning home with my boss after the wedding is over.” Martha suddenly felt bad for Sophia. She hadn‘t forced Arthur upon this wedding, but Arthur chose his own bride.

So why exactly had he let go of Sophia and chose Emily instead? This was a question that still puzzled her to this day.

“Have you two fought before Arthur came back?” asked Martha, curious.

Sophia shook her head in reply. “No, we didn‘t.” Then, after some deliberation, she asked, “If you don’t mind me asking, Old Madam Weiss, had something happened to Young Master Weiss lately that led him to suffer from amnesia?” “Amnesia? Nothing happened to Artie. Why would you ask so?” asked Old Madam Weiss, bewildered.

“Because... he seemed to have completely forgotten about me.” As dejected as Sophia was, she dared not let it show.

Martha, on the other hand, couldn‘t help reeling. “What did you say? Arthur has forgotten about you?” “Yes, after his departure. I realize he has completely forgotten about me on our first reunion here.” Sophia was now purely worried if Arthur had suffered any injuries that led him to have amnesia.

At that, Martha recollected Arthur‘s behavior since coming home. He was now indeed behaving very differently from the first day he returned. However, she still couldn‘t figure out what had led her dear grandson to behave so indifferently to everything.

“Artie is behaving differently, but nothing happened to him either,” Martha affirmed Sophia was relieved upon hearing so. This was good news, for a severe trauma had to happen to cause someone to lose their memories. As it appeared, he was fine, just that he had completely forgotten about her and her only.

Finally, Martha understood why Arthur would choose Emily as his wife. It was because he had suddenly forgotten about Sophia. But how did it come to this?

“Old Madam Weiss, it‘s getting late. You should rest early. Tomorrow‘s a big day,” the senior servant said.

Martha checked the time to find it was already 10.00PM. At that, she nodded, then turned to Sophia. “You should get some rest as well, Miss Goodwin. You‘re more than welcome if you want to join us for the wedding.” “Thank you, Old Madam Weiss.” After seeing Martha off, Sophia allowed the servant to take her to her room.

Meanwhile, a back sedan drove into the manor. As the door opened, Arthur stepped out of the vehicle. His back suit, complimented with subtle embroidery that showed off his nobility, made him domineering like he was a lord in the dark.

 

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 806

 

Even if Arthur had been manipulated, the imposing aura he exuded remained the same.

Hearing footsteps coming from the garden, he stopped and turned around to find a servant leading Sophia in his direction. He furrowed his brows slightly in response. What is this woman doing here, still wandering around in the garden at this late hour?

Sophia fought hard to conceal the sadness and adoration in her eyes upon seeing him, and she lowered her head, not intending to greet him. She wanted to go to her room and lock herself in from here on, or she would go mad.

 

She grew increasingly miserable as the countdown to his wedding became shorter. She was tough but not tough enough to remain emotionless as she watched the man she loved deeply marry another woman.

“Stop.” A crisp voice came from behind her.

“Young Master Weiss,” the servant greeted him, then walked away astutely.

Sophia stood in the brightly lit hall with her back facing him, having no intention of turning around. Meanwhile, he came forth with steady footsteps and stopped in front of her. With one hand in his pocket, he lowered his eyes and sized her up.

“Why run away when you see me? Are you not going to say hi?” Arthur asked with irritation, causing Sophia to face away. “It‘s really late. I want to return to my room and rest.” Arthur suddenly felt frustrated. He checked his watch to find it was already 10.00PM, but he wanted to be with her for a while longer.

“Are you free? Join me for a drink,” Arthur asked, to which she rejected resolutely.

“No.” “Did you say you‘re my friend? We‘ll just have one glass as friends. I won‘t take up much of your time.” Arthur insisted.

Sophia shut her eyes and fought back the urge to keep him company. However, just as she wanted to turn him down again, Arthur clasped her wrist and dragged her to the wine cellar without another word.

Sophia had thought he was taking her to the dining room, but it quickly became apparent to her that she was wrong. This man had a lavish wine cellar in his basement, storing the best liquor around the world.

As she stepped out of the elevator, she looked at the dimly lit wine cellar with amazement.

“Do we have to drink here?” Sophia mumbled, causing Arthur to look over his shoulder at her. “Are you afraid I‘ll do something to you?” Sophia took a gander at him in response. Hadn‘t you already done everything you were allowed to? What else can there be for me to be afraid of? She just thought, with her current position, they shouldn‘t be in the same room.

Moreover, there weren‘t any servants here, like this was an isolated environment.

“Relax, I just want to grab a drink. I have no interest in doing anything else.” With that, he removed his jacket to reveal a dark–colored dress shirt beneath it, exposing his perfectly shaped body.

The warm golden lights enveloped him, making his handsome face even more refined. He drummed his fingers beside the wine cabinet like he was picking his favorite liquor.

This scene intensified his noble temperament exceptionally.

His looks alone could infatuate a woman. However, if he was gentler and his gaze was more tender, no woman would be able to escape his grasp.

Sophia suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and she looked away. She feared if she continued to look, she wouldn‘t be able to stop herself from running to him and hugging his waist from behind to feel the affection they used to share.

“What would you like to drink,” asked Arthur as he turned around.

“I‘m good with anything.” She was just here to keep him company.

While smirking, he pulled a bottle of red wine out, then proficiently uncapped it.

Following that, he took two wine glasses and filled them up before handing one to her.

Sophia had the urge to get wasted as she looked at the glass of red wine while standing in front of the wine cabinet. I‘ll only wake up tomorrow afternoon if I get drunk now, won‘t I? Then, I won‘t have to think about him marrying someone else.

At that, she took the glass from him and chugged it down her throat. He had picked out a sweet red wine; it tasted pretty smooth.

Arthur, on the other hand, looked at her with dismay while holding his glass of red wine. Does this girl even know how to drink wine? Such a fine wine, but she‘s gulping it like it is water!

 

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 807

 

“Another, to the brim,” said Sophia nonchalantly as she brought the wine glass to Arthur, who was instantly amused. His gaze was fathomless yet crystal–clear under the lights, looking exceptionally charming.

“Are you sure you know how to drink wine?” Despite doubting, he still poured her half a glass of sweet wine.

Sophia didn‘t want to stand on ceremony with him anymore. He would be someone else‘s husband after the next sunrise; she couldn‘t order him around anymore after that.

 

“C‘mon, fill it up to the brim. Don‘t be so stingy.” She propped her chin up, looking all ‘I don‘t get drunk easily‘.

At that, Arthur topped it up, and as the liquid was coming up to the top, he asked with worry, “Are you sure you really want to drink this way?” “Ye–ap!” Sophia enunciated with a nod, took the wine glass from him, then chugged the entire glass of wine down again. This sure is good wine.

Meanwhile, Arthur took a graceful sip, his gaze latched onto her this whole time.

Her soft long hair sat neatly on her shoulders, surrounding her stunning, fair face.

Arthur fell into a momentary trance, thinking, The way this girl drinks sure looks fine.

Sophia burped after chugging the entire glass of wine only to notice she was still sober, and she couldn‘t help asking, “What‘s the abv on this wine?” “Eight percent.” The answer led her to be frustrated. She wouldn‘t get drunk even if she downed the entire bottle!

“Don‘t you have anything stronger in here?” she asked. “I want whiskey.” Arthur had only brought her here because he wanted to spend a bit more time with her. But who‘d have thought she was now demanding liquor?!

“That‘s too strong. It‘s not the type for ladies.” “Well, I want it.” With that, she searched the racks and found one with an aby of 43% in no time.

After taking it out, she popped the cap open, then searched for a whiskey glass but to no avail. Thus, she just chugged straight from the bottle.

Startled by the lady, Arthur dashed toward her and snatched the bottle of whiskey from her. “What, are you crazy?!” Sophia was doing fine until he snatched the bottle from her, causing her to choke and reflexively lean against the table, coughing violently. The next second, she felt a warm, large palm gently patting her back.

Tears instantly streamed down her cheeks, and she turned around to throw herself into his arms. Her actions stumped Arthur for a split second before he wrapped his arms around her and looked down at her.

Her tears had dampened his shirt, but she couldn‘t care less. She continued embracing him, wanting to behave presumptuously one last time, for she wouldn‘t be able to anymore after his marriage the following morning.

Meanwhile, Arthur stood motionless like a tree with his brows locked into a deep furrow, letting the young woman in his arms cry and hug him as she pleased.

Suddenly, Sophia looked up, wrapped her arms around his neck, and stood on tiptoes. She wanted to kiss him, but he towered over her. She wouldn‘t be able to touch his lips if he didn‘t lower his head.

She had acted on impulse, after all. Seeing that he wouldn‘t lower his head, she began crying aggrievedly. But just as she was about to give up, Arthur lifted his arms around the waist while lowering his head, bringing their faces close together.

They were so close their breaths interweaved, and the moment their eyes locked onto each other, time stopped.

He was giving her the chance to do what she had yearned for.

At that, Sophia held her breath, cupped his cheeks, and pressed her slightly trembling lips to his.

Arthur closed his eyes and tightened his arms around her waist. He realized he liked her scent, and her kiss awakened a feeling within him, causing him to reflexively respond to her for a moment.

Just like that, Sophia was pinned against the wine rack, and their raw emotions laid bare...

Perhaps the alcohol had taken effect as well, as the kiss was like a ball of enveloping fire, blazing yet inviting.

Finally, Arthur released her, and Sophia also realized what they had just done.

With that, she held her forehead while her mind went blank for a few solid seconds.

Arthur, on the other hand, had grabbed the opened bottle of whiskey and chugged it straight from the bottle, wanting to use the icy liquid to put out his burning desire.

 

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 808

 

After having enough of the liquor, Arthur looked over to the young woman as he panted lighily, and another wave of urge suddenly surged within him.

Sophia had decided to leave the cellar at this point–she couldn‘t make another mistake. But just as she took a couple of steps, Arthur suddenly tugged on her arm, causing her to turn and fall into his arms.

“You‘re going to leave just like that after kissing me?” he questioned with a raspy voice.

Sophia‘s eyes widened slightly, for his ravishing face was only inches away from her. The next second, his breath came at her. This time, it was his call. He held

her chin and attacked her lips with a passionate kiss.

His initiative stupefied her. H–How is it that he‘s making a move on me?!

Arthur couldn‘t explain his behavior himself. He just went with what his heart told him. It told him to kiss her and not let her go, so much so that his static heart burned ablaze. Even his soul was screaming to have her.

How is it that this woman can have me hooked on her so badly? Why can she make all my sobriety and rationality disappear?

Sophia knew him all too well. So while taking in his kiss, she perceived the change in his breathing and movements.

Suddenly, a red flag raised in her head, and she shoved him away. He couldn‘t do something reckless at this time, or things would really get out of control for the both of them.

As much as she loved and craved him as well, she knew where to draw the line.

She would never make such mistakes.

Having been shoved away, Arthur locked his gaze on her as he panted, saying with a husky voice, “Don‘t refuse me. I know you need me too.” Sophia had calmed down at this point, and she looked resolutely at him with pursed lips. “That was the alcohol just now. I‘m sorry, but I won‘t betray my boyfriend.” Arthur‘s heart twinged in response. He had forgotten she had a boyfriend while he would be marrying Emily the following day.

“Please forgive me for offending you.” At that, Sophia turned to leave, but his deep voice came from behind the next second. “Do you really love your boyfriend?” “Yes, I love him. I will never love any other man as much as him for the rest of my life,” she answered resolutely without turning around.

With that, she headed in the direction of the elevator and disappeared into the corner.

Arthur suddenly propped his arms against the table. Something was tugging on him, forcing him to arch his back and pant.

Sophia thought she had used up all her energy to return to her room. She was so exhausted that she didn‘t have the energy to move to the couch. With her back pressed against the door, she slowly slid onto the floor, then hugged her knees as tears rolled down from her tightly shut eyes.

Meanwhile, at the Jennings Residence, Emily was so excited that she was having trouble falling asleep. She was currently sitting in front of the mirror, admiring her gorgeous face again and again. She was even trying to find the smile that would make her appear even more beautiful when she stood at the altar the following day.

To think she would officially become the young mistress of the Weiss Family from the next day on made her smile. Not only would she have an outstanding and perfect husband, but power and wealth would also follow.

This was the day she had been dreaming of ever since she could remember.

Finally, it would be coming!

Just then, Vera knocked on the door and entered. Upon seeing Emily still awake, she admonished, “Emily, hurry up and go to bed. Tomorrow‘s your big day.” “Mom, I‘m not dreaming, am I? I‘m really about to be married to Artie!” Emily held her chest, oozing happiness.

“Of course not. You‘ll be pronounced his wife by tomorrow.” Emily beamed in response. “Mom, you‘re sure Goodwin won‘t be attending the wedding, right? Actually, I kind of hoped she would. Then, she‘ll be able to witness my happily ever after.” “Look at you. Do you think you won‘t have any more chances to flaunt in her face after your wedding?” Vera‘s priority now was to see that the wedding would be held the following day successfully.

“You‘re right.” A hint of malice flashed across Emily‘s eyes, loathsome at the thought that Arthur was once Sophia‘s, even though she now owned him.

 

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 809

Emily really couldn‘t stomach this bitterness if she didn‘t give Sophia a hard time or flaunt her new status in front of that woman.

“Get some rest. You have to look your best tomorrow. I want my daughter to be the most beautiful bride in the world.” Vera fixed Emily‘s long hair.

At that, Emily went to bed as told. However, the wedding and, most importantly, the wedding night popped into her head as soon as she closed her eyes. She would truly be handing herself to Arthur soon. As the thoughts crossed her mind, her face flushed, and her heart raced.

 

Back at the Weiss Manor, Anastasia was already sound asleep. Elliot, on the other hand, went for a drink with Richard and had a heart–to–heart talk.

The topic then came to their survival days in the jungle, three young men about the same age fighting hard, supporting and sticking by each other. Even when so many years had passed, just thinking about it still got their blood boiling “Richard, have you ever given your love life a thought? You can‘t stay a bachelor forever, can you?” As a married man, Elliot would wish to see that his brothers could have a happy married life as well.

Richard shook his head in response. “My job is my partner. A woman will only affect the speed I draw my handgun.” Elliot couldn‘t help chuckling at that. “Alright, I‘m going to make a note of that,” he teased, leading Richard to guffaw. The two then clinked glasses and looked at the lights afar. There truly was no romance in Richard‘s eyes. He could safeguard his comrades, brothers, and family, but he never gave his love life a thought, for he absolutely didn‘t need it.

This night was bound to be long for a lot of people.

Sophia, too, couldn‘t fall asleep as she lay in bed. Thus, she moved to the couch and lit a bracket light, allowing the dim light to shine on her as sadness enveloped her.

She flipped through the pictures and videos in her phone album again and again as tears streamed down her face like a never–ending waterfall.

“Get over here. I‘m recording a video!” Sophia‘s whiny voice could be heard.

Very quickly, a dashing face appeared on the screen. While Sophia was making cute faces at the camera, the man hugged her from behind and rubbed his face against hers affectionately. At that, she put her phone away, but laughter could still be heard off camera.

“Can you be a little more serious? Honestly!” The man‘s crisp laughter came. “Who‘d have thought my wife knows how to fight back? I‘m impressed, puppy.” “Don‘t call me that.” “Alright, if you don‘t make a sound tonight.” “Arthur Weiss...” The camera shook violently amongst the roughhousing. But off camera, it was a happy time between the couple.

Alas, Sophia‘s heart now ached just as much as she was happy in the video.

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Arthur stared at the ceiling while resting his hands behind his head. His gaze was fathomless, and his mind was a mess, for he couldn‘t stop thinking about all that had happened in the wine cellar. At the same time, an intense feeling surged within him.

It was jealousy; he was sure of it. More than that, he actually wanted to know who the man Sophia loved was.

Is her boyfriend handsome? Is he rich? What is his family like? How does he compare to me?

The sun rose eventually, and Sophia watched the sunrise while curling up on the couch. Her eyes were now puffy, and she looked somewhat gaunt.

Arthur‘s big day had arrived, and the whole place would be buzzing with joy.

In the garden outside, the servants had gotten busy bright and early, traversing the garden‘s every corridor, setting up their young master‘s wedding with joy.

Back in the master bedroom, Arthur wasn‘t in his best shape either. In fact, he didn‘t get out of bed immediately, for he actually wasn‘t really looking forward to the wedding.

“Young Master Weiss, are you awake, Young Master?” A servant called out to him at the door.

At that, Arthur sat up, got out of bed, and headed into the bathroom. He needed a shower to sober up..

Soon, Martha came and sat on the couch, waiting for Arthur to come down and have breakfast with her. The elderly woman had donned a maroon dress for the occasion, looking exceptionally lively. Her thick silver hair had been put up with a ruby–encrusted hair comb, complimenting her nobility.

 

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 810

Martha grew anxious after waiting for about twenty minutes, and she couldn‘t help asking a servant, “Why hasn‘t Arthur come down yet?” “We’ve knocked on his door, Old Madam Weiss, but Young Master Weiss never answered us. So we assumed he‘s still asleep.” Seeing that time was running short, Martha decided to make a trip upstairs herself. After arriving on the third floor, she knocked on Arthur‘s bedroom door.

“Artie, wake up. It‘s getting late.” The door opened soon after, revealing a half–naked Arthur with a bathrobe wrapped around his waist and his hair dripping wet.

 

While the servant blushed, Martha frowned. “Artie put some clothes on. What is the meaning of this? You‘re not a child anymore.” “You go ahead and have breakfast, Grandma. I‘ll go down in a bit,” said Arthur to his grandmother.

“I‘ll wait for you. We still have this bit of time. Hurry up and get dressed.” At that, Martha took another gander at him. Her grandson was indeed top notch in every way.

A hint of a smile even escaped her lips as she turned around, and she involuntarily glanced at the room next door. “Have two people stay here and look after Miss Goodwin. She won‘t be heading to the wedding venue, but make sure she‘s well taken care of,” she instructed the servant, who nodded in acknowledgment. “Yes, ma‘am.” Sometime after all the servants on the third floor left, Arthur came out of his room in a white dress shirt and fitting suit pants. However, his necktie wasn‘t tied up, and his hair was still damp. He was even buttoning up his sleeve while walking to Sophia‘s room.

Sophia, tired and sleepy, was drifting into sleep when Arthur knocked on the door, causing her to sit up. It wasn‘t until the knock came the second time that she was certain she hadn‘t imagined it.

With that, she went to answer the door, only to find Arthur staring at her.

“Yes, Young Master Weiss?” Sophia looked back at him with disheveled hair and puffy eyes, leading Arthur to frown. “Did you not sleep last night?” Why does she look so haggard?

“Of course, I did!” lied Sophia, who actually felt light–headed and quite unwell.

Seeing that she looked awful, Arthur felt her forehead without thinking. The burning sensation caused him to hold his breath; she was feverish.

“You‘re feverish. I‘ll take you to the hospital,” said Arthur.

Having no clue of her fever, Sophia felt her forehead. The temperature is a little high, but it‘s still alright. At that, she waved her hand. “It‘s fine. It‘s your wedding today. Surely you have a lot of things to do. Go on, get busy! I can take care of myself.” With that, Sophia reached for the door to close it, but Arthur stopped the closing door somewhat assertively. To him, between a wedding and her fever, her fever was more important.

“Come with me.” As uncomfortable as Sophia felt, she really didn‘t want to affect his wedding, and for that, she took a step back. “Thanks but no thanks. I‘ll ask a servant to take me there later.” Just then, a servant rushed upstairs, announcing, “Young Master, Old Madam Weiss is still waiting for you to join her for breakfast. Time is running short, and you have to get to the chapel soon.” However, Arthur didn‘t respond to the servant but only latched his gaze on this stubborn young woman.

“Are you going to come with me?” he threatened.

Hearing that Martha was waiting for him downstairs, Sophia was now even more certain she didn‘t want him to bother himself with this. Thus, she shook her head.

“No, you go ahead.” Arthur took a deep breath while sticking his tongue against his inner cheek. It was evident he was running out of patience and was even growing irritated.

“Fine, suit yourself.” Arthur had always been lofty. As if I have the bloody time to coax her. This girl asked for it!

With that, Arthur walked away. Meanwhile, Sophia fought back her tears as she watched him leave before finally closing the door quietly.

A sense of brokenness enveloped the brokenhearted woman as she stood in front of the window, basking in the morning sun.

Downstairs, Arthur joined his grandmother for breakfast. Martha, on the other hand, asked a series of questions only to discover Arthur hadn‘t responded at all.

His gaze was fixed upon a spot, and despite holding a spoon, he hadn‘t taken a single bite for a long time, looking like he was deep in his own world.
