Chapter 790

After walking a few meters, Sophia was engulfed in sadness all of a sudden, making her unable to
walk. While covering her face, she squatted down on the pathway beside the bushes and started
sobbing while suppressing her voice.

However, she didn‘t realize that a few meters behind her, there was a person watching her. Arthur
looked at the girl whose shoulders were trembling from her cries. He knew he was the reason she was
in misery.

Why is she crying like this? Why does she think that I abandoned her?

He just stood there for as long as she was crying until his phone started ringing and frightened the
crying Sophia. She quickly stood up and turned around, only to see that the man was still there. Seeing
him there stunned her for a few seconds.

I thought he didn‘t care about me anymore. Why is he still following me?

Arthur looked at his phone, but he didn‘t pick it up. In fact, he hung up the phone and told her, “Stop
crying and go back to your room!”

“Even if I cry, it‘s none of your business!” Sophia quipped out of annoyance.

“Your crying disturbed me,” he said ruthlessly.

Hearing that, she felt her body sway a little and nearly passed out from
anger. Is this man really the Arthur that I know? He‘s even colder than strangers.

“Fine! I just need to cry further away, right?” As soon as she said that, she turned around and saw an
exit, so she ran in that direction right away.



At this moment, Arthur remembered that that was the way to the pond, and there was no path there.
Just as he wanted to stop her, she had already run away.

“So…” He suddenly realized that he had forgotten her name, so he could only run in the same direction
as her.

Yet, before he could stop her, she jumped into the pond as expected, since she didn‘t know there was a
pond behind the bushes.

“Ah!” she shouted fearfully as her body sank into the pond. The coldness of the water at night made her
extremely frightened.

Just then, Arthur rushed over and took a deep breath. He looked at the girl, who had brought him so
much trouble tonight, and felt speechless.

“Give me your hand.” He reached out his hand, wanting to pull her up.

However, Sophia took a step backward. “I don‘t need you to care about me. I can save myself.”

As she said that, she tried hard to walk to the side and grab the stone steps beside it. trying to get
herself out of the pond. Luckily, the pond was stone–paved, and there were only a few fancy fish, so it
was really clean without any dirt.

When her foot stepped on the stone steps, she slipped and fell back into the pond since she didn‘t
know that the stone steps were filled with moss. Now, her whole body sank into the pond.

The next second, Arthur jumped into the pond as well. He reached out his long arm and pulled the
drowning girl up. Sophia was so terrified that she hugged him at his waist as if he was her savior.

“Why are you doing this to yourself?” he bellowed. After that, he carried her in his arms and walked in
the opposite direction to the stairs.



At this moment, Sophia was stunned as she felt like the Arthur that she knew was back. She was
happy even when he scolded her, for it was much better than the cold words he said to her

She looked like a mess when he put her down. Then, he pointed in a direction. “This is the way to the
guest room. Don‘t use the wrong way again.”

“Can you send me back?” she asked.

“I‘m busy.” He needed to go back and take a shower as he was soaking wet too.

“What if I get lost again?” she pleaded.

“Are you a three–year–old kid?” You‘re a grown woman. Figure it out by yourself?

“You‘re not wrong. My mind is like a three–year–old. Are you sending me back or not?” she asked with
her brows raised.

All of a sudden, a smile tugged on his lips as though Sophia had made him laugh. This was the only
time someone made him laugh during this period of time. “Let‘s go.” He decided to send her back.

Sophia followed him and walked forward. But not long later, he pointed in a direction and told her, “Go
there. There‘ll be a maid there to help you.”

“Are you not sending me back to my room?”
