Chapter 770

“Are you really sure you want to eat here? It looks pretty expensive,” Sophia whispered.

Arthur couldn‘t help but chuckle to himself upon hearing so. “What‘s up? Are you already starting to
think about my spending when you have yet to become my wife?”

After a split–second stump, Sophia rolled her eyes at him while smiling. “Yes, we‘re spending your
money, but it still pains me to see you spending like this. I’m worried you‘ll use up all of your money.”

Arthur felt somewhat speechless, for this young woman really knew nothing about his ancestry. Of
course, he had no plans of telling her now either. “Don‘t worry. It‘s not a big deal even if we eat here
every day.”

Right when Sophia was enjoying her meal, her ringtone suddenly sounded like an incantation. She
jolted upon seeing the caller ID as it was her mother.

“I‘m going to have to take this, but don‘t make a sound, okay? It‘s my mom,” explained Sophia as she
hushed the man sitting across from her.

Arthur nodded in reply and kept quiet, not wanting to cause her any trouble.

She answered the call. “Hey, Mom.”

“Sophia, where are you right now? Come home this instant. Your dad and I need to speak to you
urgently.”

“What is it? Are you okay, Mom? Is it Dad?” Sophia grew concerned.

“Nothing happened to us. We just have something urgent to talk to you about. Come home quickly.
We‘re waiting for you at home.”



“Okay. I‘ll come home at 2.00PM, alright?”

“Sure. You have to come home, get it?” Emma ordered.

She didn‘t mention anything about Sophia‘s relationship with Arthur, for she knew the two were
together as they spoke. Emma and Drake just wanted to keep Sophia in line. As for others, there was
nothing they could do. ”

“My mom wants me to go home for a bit.”

“Alright, I’ll send you home later.”

“No, it‘s fine. I‘ll drive. I‘ll drop you off at my place first.” Sophia planned to hide

Arthur for fear that her parents would discover him.

“Sophia, I think we should plan a date to meet your parents.” Arthur was more than ready to face her
parents.

“Let‘s not do that just yet. I‘ll find out what they think about it first.” After all, she knew all too well how
her parents thought of Arthur.

After finishing their meal, she dropped him off at her place before heading to her parents

During the journey, she kept wondering if something had happened for her mom and dad to call her
home so urgently, so much so that she arrived without delay.

Right as she entered the living room, she found her parents sitting gravely on the couch, looking like
they were expecting to see her home. In fact, it looked as though they had been waiting long.



“Mom, Dad, what is it?” Sophia couldn‘t help feeling apprehensive. It had been a long time since she
last saw this kind of expression on her parents. They didn‘t even pull · this countenance when she
made a huge mistake as a child.

“Come here, Sophia,” Emma called out to her sternly. “We have something to ask you.”

Sophia instantly tensed up as she walked over and sat across from them. Suddenly, Drake slammed
his hand on the armrest. “Tell me the truth, Sophia. Are you living with that guy named Weiss at your
place?”

Sophia still wasn‘t mentally prepared when she heard her parents exposing her affair with Arthur and
her face flushed in an instant, not daring to look straight into her parents‘ eyes. “How did you guys find
out?”

Livid, Emma went up to Sophia and wanted to give her a good beating. Ultimately, she couldn‘t bring
herself to do so, letting her arm hang mid–air for a few seconds before lowering it. “What is up with
you? There are so many good men out there; why do you have to be with that dude? Has his good
looks made you chuck your rationality out the window?!”

Seeing that things were now out in the open, Sophia knew she could only admit it. “That‘s right, Mom
and Dad. We‘re dating.”

“Are you not at all aware of what sort of person he is?! It‘s so blindly obvious that he‘s from a shady
background. Who knows, he might be a money launderer or even someone from the underworld. No
good will come out of this if you date someone like him.” Emma was livid with oncoming tears. She
couldn‘t believe the daughter she had raised so assiduously was lured away by some man so easily.
