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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSophia 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.
