Chapter 788

“You don‘t recognize me? You don‘t remember who I am?” Sophia asked him.

Arthur lowered his head and gazed at the girl in his arms. Suddenly, he felt his heart aching as he

sensed a sense of familiarity with that face. Adding on to that, her pair of eyes, which had tears welling

up, were tugging on his nerves, and he felt his heart pounding for her as though he was under a spell.

“Do I know you?” he asked with a frown.

Sophia let go of his hands and looked at him in agony before asking, “Don‘t think that you can act

dumb, Arthur. Just tell me if you don‘t love me anymore. We can break up.”

Startled, Arthur looked at this enraged girl and didn‘t know what to do.

“My name is Sophia Goodwin, and I used to be your girlfriend. I came here to see you and hear what

you said. Once you‘re done talking, I‘ll leave and never get in your way again.”

Surprised, he asked her, “What do you want me to say?”

“Say you don‘t love me any more or that you fell in love with someone else. Just say it. I want to hear

what you have to say.” She lifted her head, and while tears were streaming down her face, she made

herself look at him.

Arthur looked at the girl whose tears kept coming. His chest tightened as if something were pressing on

his heart, and he found breathing impossible.

Why did I feel compelled to comfort her by wiping her tears? Even though he realized she was the girl

on his phone, it was clear he had never met her.

“Say it! Why didn‘t you tell me you don‘t love me anymore?” Sophia was enraged and shouted at him.

He did not respond or move away; he just gazed at her calmly.

“You don‘t dare to say it, do you! Okay, then, I‘ll say it: let‘s break up! I don‘t want to talk to you or think

about you ever again; I‘m getting rid of anything you left behind at my place and any promises you

made to me are now null and invalid,” Sophia exclaimed loudly to him as if she was cool about it, but

tears could not fool people.

At this moment, a large dog rushed out from the side and barked madly at Sophia. Her face turned pale

with fear, and even as she panicked, she picked the safest spot for protection–Arthur‘s arms.

She gripped him like an octopus by wrapping her arms around his neck and bending down on her legs.

“Gritt, get out of here.” Arthur was holding a panicked girl as his dog continued to bark anxiously.

“Arthur, I‘m scared. Ask your dog to go away.” Sophia clutched his neck hard, almost suffocating him.

“It will not bite you. Come on down!” Unexpectedly, he didn‘t try to push her away.

“No way, it‘ll bite me.” She was sure that the big dog considered her an enemy.

He inhaled deeply and said, “I can‘t breathe!”

“Then, tell your dog to leave!” Sophia was annoyed.

“Gritt, go away.” The most Arthur could do was shout at his pet, and when Gritt caught on to the fact

that its master was becoming irate, it moaned pitifully, turned, and walked away.

As soon as Gritt left, Sophia refused to let go of Arthur until he finally pulled her hand away; she was

thrown off balance and fell to the ground.

“Ouch!” she shouted in pain.

Arthur gazed at her while extending his hand to help her up.

“I don‘t need your help! You can leave now!” She decided to ignore him.

“You‘re lost. Let me send you back.” Arthur‘s surprising kindness sprang from his inability to bear the

idea of leaving her alone.

Sophia stared at the man in front of her and had the impression that he didn‘t recognize her. He looked

at her as if she were a total stranger; the affection he had felt for her had faded away. This feeling was

far more excruciating than really putting an end to her.

“Are you sure you don‘t remember me?” she stood up and asked him.

Arthur looked over Sophia‘s face, which was covered with tear stains. Under the moonlight, she

resembled a weeping lily, charming and heartbreaking.
