Chapter 651

At that moment, Sophia, who happened to return from the dinner, heard the telephone ringing in the

living room and answered it. “Hello. Who’s on the line, please?”

“It’s me, Sophia. Aren’t you coming?” Jacob asked anxiously.

“I’m sorry, Jacob. I can’t make it for the event. Have fun!” She smiled in embarrassment.

“Oh-come on! I was looking forward to your arrival. In fact, I’ve been waiting for you to come.”

“I’m flattered to hear that, Jacob, but please don’t wait for me. Don’t forget to have fun,” she replied.

“Sophia, can we grab breakfast together tomorrow morning? I’m leaving tomorrow, and I don’t know

when we’ll meet again.”

“Um… Can we talk about that tomorrow?” Sophia was dismayed with her tight schedule. After hanging

up the call with Jacob, she returned the telephone to the cradle and let out a sigh.

“It looks like someone can’t wait to go cruising on the sea.” A man’s deep voice was suddenly heard from

behind the woman.

A startled Sophia immediately turned around and saw Arthur walking in. She then quickly hid her

emotions and replied, “Nah, not really. I’m tired by the way, so I’m going to head upstairs and take some

rest.”

As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard the man’s voice from behind her again.

“I’ll meet you at the door in ten minutes.”

With her hand on the handrail, she turned around and asked, “Where are we going?”

“A night cruise.” The man puckered his lips in response.

Sophia’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She then exclaimed in surprise and excitement. “Wait… What?

For real? I can tag along too?” The next second, she rushed upstairs, wondering whether she

should change her outfit for the occasion. only to realize there was not enough time for her to do so.

Therefore, she only fixed her make-up a little before she headed downstairs.

In the meantime, Arthur was sitting on the couch while waiting for Sophia, whereupon they both got into

the car and made their way toward the docks. As they were on their way, her mind was full of images of

the beautiful seaview that she was admiring on the cruise. After all, she hadn’t gone on a cruise at night,

which she believed was going to be fun.

Furthermore, she would be even happier if there were going to be a lot of people because she liked the

lively atmosphere that was full of high energy.

Once they arrived, the duo was greeted by a huge luxury private yacht moored at the bright dock. Sophia

then alighted from the car and walked toward the yacht behind Arthur, all the while feeling a little

bewildered at the sight of the desolated place. Shouldn’t there be a crowd of people who are going to

cruise with us?

Why is it so quiet? Where is everyone? The next moment, she was stunned when she entered the

grand-looking cabin of the yacht. Oh my god! This is absolutely luxurious! The designs definitely deserve

a seven-star rating! How magnificent this is!

“I thought there were going to be a lot of people. Why is there no one else?” Sophia asked in confusion.

Arthur replied lightly, “They are gone.” He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you

happy to go cruising on the sea with me?”

“O-Of course, I am happy with that.” She forced a smile to hide the surprise within her upon realizing that

he had the whole yacht booked.

Soon, the yacht sailed away from the dock toward the sea just as the fireworks were lit up and shot up to

the sky from afar. Seeing the magnificent sight, Sophia excitedly scampered to the deck and placed her

palms together delightedly. Not long after that, Arthur also came to the deck, and he happened to notice

Sophia’s curvaceous figure in the illuminating moonlight and the fireworks in the sky.

At the same time, the blowing sea breeze gently grazed the woman’s dress, carrying her skirt with it as

her long hair billowed in the wind.

On the other hand, the man kept his eyes upon the lady despite the glaring fireworks, as if she was more

attractive and eye-catching than the grand fireworks. Thanks to the training Sophia received through

dancing since she was little, she had managed to develop a perfectly slim figure. Although she didn’t

take much pride in that particularly, her curvy stature made her so attractive that no man could look away

once he set his eyes on her.

Suddenly, Sophia tripped on an abrupt jerk that was either caused by the yacht’s short burst of

acceleration or the rough tidal waves beneath them. The next second, she lost her balance and

staggered backward. “Ahhh!” She thought she was about to land on her behind and she exclaimed in

horror, but at that

moment, she felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist shortly before she felt her head resting on

someone’s firm chest.

Feeling relieved and secure, she knew who just saved her from the embarrassing fall, and she blushed

bashfully. Then, she stood on her feet clumsily and thanked Arthur for his help. “Thank you.” After that,

she took off her high heels and put them aside, thereafter walking barefoot on the deck so that she

wouldn’t have to worry about falling again.
