FreeNovelArthur retorted, “Why would you want me to head in? What about you?” Sophia gave a smile. “I don’t have to since | won't be married before age thirty. anyway.” He didn’t enter the community center to mingle around because he never intended to settle down either.
At this moment, there was a sudden downpour that trapped the both of them inside the church on the hilltop.
The security guards had already knocked off work at this stage and forgot that Arthur and Sophia were still inside before they proceeded to lock the doors.
It was raining cats and dogs and did not look like it would stop for a long time.
When she looked at the time, she couldn't resist informing him, “I think their staff has knocked off work and would lock us here if we don’t leave soon.” “It's raining cats and dogs, so how are we going to leave?” Arthur felt at ease as he asked.

“I think it won't stop until night time!” She cupped her face while she answered.
Not long after that, she felt that the raindrops were beautiful and reached out to play in the rain. The sky gradually darkened over in the distance, which meant that nightfall was about to arrive. The mountain behind the church had also started to become deserted.
“Otherwise, let's try to make our way down,” Sophia said to Arthur. “If we're drenched, so be it!" He nodded in agreement, after which they walked into the rain. As they were heading down the steps, he reached out with his hand and explained, “I'll hold you.” “You don’t have to...” She waved her hand in rejection.
“I'm worried that you'll fall down,” a concerned Arthur explained. This woman had been repeatedly too reckless for her safety, so he could predict the kind of dangers that would befall her in advance.
A helpless Sophia then took his hand before they held hands in the rain and created the impression that they were romantic lovers.
When they finally arrived at the bottom of the steps, she looked left and right as she yelled without receiving any response. She cursed as she slapped her own mouth. “I really have a crow’s mouth because what | said turned out to be true. They have indeed knocked off work.” Hearing this, Arthur, who was next to her, puffed in amusement because she was scolding herself.
“You are still laughing! See, we are stuck here,” she growled as she blinked. He surveyed his surroundings and noticed a wall measuring about two meters in height next to him before pointing at it. “We'll get out here.” Sophia panicked when she heard his words and looked around. “How can you climb up the wall without a ladder?!” Just as she threw her question at him, she saw him approaching the wall and raising his arms to hold the top of the wall. Then, he easily climbed up before stretching out with his hand while saying, “Come, I'll pull you up.” A surprised Sophia did as instructed, after which he yanked her up with his full strength.
“Stay here and don’t move,” Arthur warned before he jumped to the ground and reached out to break her fall.
“We'll jump down together since I'll be catching you.” “I can’t because I'll end up injuring you. Stand aside; I'll jump down on my own.” She was petrified when she saw the distance of about two meters.
“Jump.” He did not mind breaking her fall by carrying her.
As she nervously moved on the wall in preparation to make the jump, she suddenly screamed, “Ahhhh...” Was she behaving like she was an ant in hot water? She should be making the jump with Arthur's safe hands around her.

Fortunately for Sophia, he had already anticipated her reaction and when they made the fall, he tightly hugged her. As she was in shock, she grabbed onto his neck and buried her small face in his collarbone.
They were drenched as a result of being in the rain and now that they were in a tight embrace, it was exceptionally easy for them to create misunderstandings.
“How did you manage to grow up without injuring yourself?” an irritated Arthur asked her.
Sophia felt aggrieved because she had a peaceful upbringing that was devoid of mishaps and injuries! Yet, after running into Arthur, she seemed to be landing herself in all kinds of troubles.
As she sat in the SUV, she noticed that the sky was completely dark by now. He switched on the heater in the car, but he was nowhere in a better shape than her. His hair was glued to his forehead and under the headlights, it was evident that his soaked shirt was so glued to him that it restricted the movement of his muscles.
Yet, in such an embarrassing situation, the moment he pushed his hair to the back, it revealed a different kind of attraction-one that was full of humility.
