Chapter 700

Sophia was in her own world for a few seconds until the man’s deep gaze landed on her. It was only at
that moment when she regained her composure and approached him. Suddenly, she almost lost
balance due to the slippery road beneath her.

“Ahhh…” she yelled as she lost her balance and fell into his arms.

Arthur wrapped his arms around her to prevent her from falling, but he was a second late. As Sophia
hugged the man, she landed in a kneeling position in front of his legs and her face was exceptionally
close to a place in which a man would regard as sensitive.

She wanted to die on the spot.

He lowered his head and sighed because in all his time of knowing her, this was the umpteenth time of
seeing her embarrassed.

Luckily for them, there was no one around them. So, he reached out and helped her to her feet, but her
face was redder than a shrimp. “S-Sorry.”

Arthur took her hand as his long, slender fingers gripped onto hers. It was evident that he was holding
Sophia in a posture that looked like they were about to kiss.

They passed the entrance and walked up the steps, which they estimated to be at a distance of 200
meters, to where the main church was.

It was halfway through the climb that Sophia regretted her decision as she panted. Of all the places
that she could have suggested, why did she have to suggest a church on the hill?

On the contrary, the man next to her was relaxed. He wasn’t panting and his face wasn’t flushed either.
As the wind gently blew his hair into a somewhat messy state, it made him look just as sexy.



“You can’t climb up anymore?” Arthur asked with a smile.

“I-I still can.” Now that she was under his gaze, she bravely replied. “I can even do it in one breath.”

Arthur continued his climb while Sophia forced herself to follow from behind as a film of cold sweat
coated her forehead.

Now that they were at the top of the hill. she felt that it was worth the hard work since the view from
where they were was breathtaking. The ancient church resembled a quiet place with a vast history
behind it.

He was holding a bottle of water, which he brought from the car. Then, he walked toward her and
handed the bottle to her.. “Drink it.”

When Sophia saw that the bottle was half full, she realized that he had already drunk half of it and left
the rest for her.

“What’s up? Do you have something against my saliva?” Arthur read her thoughts.

She shook her head and sincerely took it with a blushing face before she unscrewed the bottle cap.
Who am I to slander? We’ve already kissed, so what am I being picky about?

Both Sophia and Arthur went to the main area of the church where candles could be found for them to
use to offer their prayers.

Then, she took six candles and lit it before handing it to him. “Follow my actions and say your prayers.
They say that miracles occur if you offer your prayers here, so hopefully it will be granted.”

When he took it, he followed her suspiciously. Firstly, they left the bright candles at the candle holder at
one side of the church before they walked to the pews and knelt down.



Sophia was unaware that when she made a wish, the man beside her still had his eyes open as he
observed her beautiful yet serious face. It was as if she arduously tried to make a sincere prayer. Once
that was done, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile.

When this happened, it caused Arthur to subconsciously follow suit and when he saw her bright red
thick lips, his heart skipped a beat.

As he observed her dazzling and long eyelashes, he hurriedly closed his eyes in a comical manner, so
as to pretend that he was in the midst of offering his prayers.

Now that it was Sophia’s turn to admire him, she realized that he still had not offered his prayers.

He looked even more handsome now that his eyes were closed. His facial features seemed to have
been meticulously carved by the angels above with perfect proportions.

She softly swallowed and harbored inexplicable thoughts while watching him.

What’s going on? Is it because he kissed me? Her heart started to race as she thought of this. Wait!
This isn’t going according to plan! I’m the one who seduced him to make him fall for me, after which I’ll
beg for his forgiveness. So, why am I having second thoughts about him?

Although Arthur’s eyes were closed, he was a sensitive man and knew that Sophia was sizing him up.
As a result, he purposely took his time to open his eyes.

After emerging from the main area of the church, they arrived at the community center where she
couldn’t help but say, “Young Master Weiss, this is where the young single people meet up to socialize
with each other. Do you want to head in and get to know a few girls? Who knows you might be able to
meet your Ms.. Right.
