Chapter 773
He was truly at a crossroads. “I‘m not absolutely certain it will work on Young Master Weiss, though.”
“You have to do it no matter how much confidence you have in this serum. Young Master Weiss will be returning to Flor real soon, and I‘m just asking you to remove that girl from his memory. As for the other girls in Flor‘s affluent families, they have nothing on Emily.”
Vera continued, “That girl is just a nobody. Wiping it away from Young Master Weiss‘ memories won‘t cause any significant consequences. Besides, Old Madam Weiss also hopes that he‘ll marry our daughter.”
After a ponder, Johnny nodded in agreement. Their daughter‘s happiness was the most important thing, after all.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Sophia agreed with Arthur‘s suggestion after his successful reassuring. Running away really wasn‘t going to solve the problem, and she should face it instead.
Thus, she called her mother and said that she and Arthur would be going over later that night to talk this over.
Emma was relieved as well to receive the call. At the very least, Sophia was willing to come home to them and not run away for good.
“Alright, come over then. I‘ll get dinner ready.”
Later in the evening, with Arthur driving, the couple arrived at Goodwin Residence and entered the house hand–in–hand.
Drake and Emma had to admit that Sophia and Arthur made a lovely couple now that they were seeing it for themselves. However, they still couldn‘t accept the two being in a romantic relationship in light of the young man‘s identity.
“Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin. Please allow me to formally introduce myself. I‘m Arthur Weiss. Though I‘m Florian, I hold a local passport. If I can have your permission to marry Sophia, I‘m more than willing to settle here.” Arthur spoke sincerely.
Sophia couldn’t help looking at him in shock as he had never brought any of it up with her before this.
At the same time, Drake and Emma exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say for a moment.
“I love Sophia, and I intend to marry her. I hope you can accept me as your son-in law,” Arthur continued.
Sophia was now as speechless as her parents. His sincerity moved her, and she had never demanded him to marry her or hold any responsibility for their relationship. Everything that happened between her and Arthur was of her own free will, yet this man promised her parents so much with the intention of settling down here. Would his grandmother agree to this?
“Do you really love Sophia? Will you cherish her forever?” Drake bore into Arthur, whose gaze was filled with nothing but resolution. “I will.
“My daughter isn‘t rich or noble, and she isn‘t outstanding or perfect either. Meanwhile, I‘m sure you‘re from an affluent family. Can you really only love her your whole life?” Emma questioned, leading Sophia to stop her. “Mom! Can you guys not push him?”
Arthur, on the other hand, vowed without a second of hesitation. “I can do that.”
The man‘s sincerity eventually moved the Goodwin couple. He was willing to sacrifice anything for their daughter, which was something most men were not able to do.
With that, Emma went to prepare dinner while the rest of them went to the couch. Drake then asked Arthur for details of his background.
“You said your family‘s huge, so what exactly do you guys do?”
“Banking, energy, and biotech research, to be specific. We also have other international investments. We‘ll be here all day if I list them all out, but they‘re all definitely honest business,” Arthur answered
Sophia, who was listening from the side, was rendered gobsmacked as well.IstheWeissFamily‘sbusinessthismassive?Justhowwealthyarethey,and whatkindofsuperrichlifedidthismangrowupin?!
Apart from the shock, a hint of inferiority arose in Sophia as she listened to the two talk about Arthur‘s family.
Drake couldn‘t help gasping as well.Nowonderthisguyhas suchdeeppocketsandisabletomobilizesomanyconnectionsatsuchayoungage.Who‘dhavethoughthe‘stheyoungmasterofa superrichfamily?!
Arthur sensed his beloved‘s bundled–up fingers, and he reached his hand out to hold them, looking at her with a gentle, encouraging gaze.
“Dad, don‘t ask him any more questions, alright? Let him take a breather and have some water,” Sophia asked of her father.
