Pursuing Her Chapter 268


    Chapter 268


    Investigating Sophie Sophie felt rather ufortable in his embrace. However, she shifted her


    attention back to her phone. She unlocked her phone and saw that she had received a voice message


    from Arius. “It’s Arius.” Sophie got up from him. “Go back, okay? I need to give Arius a call.” Tristan


    kept mum for a while. Is she chasing me away? “Go on! I’ll wait for you here.” Sophie ignored what he


    said and went to a corner to put on her earbuds before ying the voice message Arius had sent to


    her. After listening to the voice message, she called Arius. The call was answered on the first ring.


    “You finally called me, Sophie! How’s everything? Have you got back to Jipsdale from Horington?”


    Arius asked. “Yes. What’s up?” “Nothing much. I just want to tell you that Nichs is back in Ennd.”


    “Oh.” Sophie didn’t want to say much about Nichs. “Be careful, Sophie! I think Nichs saw you in


    Horington, and he’s now looking for you.” Sophie went silent. Did he see me? “Yet, he went back to


    Ennd so soon after seeing me?” “Yes. I think something happened to his father. That’s why he came


    back,” Arius answered. I’ve already told her to stay in Jipsdale, but she just wouldn’t listen to me.


    Jipsdale is Mr. Tristan’s territory. As long as she’s there, Nichs won’t dare to touch her. “Okay. Got it.


    It’ste, and I’m tired.” “What’s with you? I’ve been so worried about you. Are you going to hang up on


    me after being on the phone with me for just a few minutes? How are you so heartless?” “Tristan is still


    in my room.” “Sophie, let me remind you that you’re underage! I don’t care about other girls your age,


    but you must protect yourself, okay?” It’s already sote at night.


    What is Tristan still doing in her room? In response, Sophie just hung up on him. Arius talks too much.


    Sophie went back to Tristan after she hung up the phone. “Why didn’t you go to bed?” “I’m waiting for


    you.” “What for? Arius said I’m still underage, so you should keep your hands to yourself.” “What does


    it have to do with him? Sophie, Arius isn’t a good person. Let’s just stay away from him, okay?” “Well,


    you guys seem to have the same impressions about each other.” Did Arius say the same thing to her


    about me? “I’m not the same as him.” “Okay.” Sophie didn’t have anything to add. Whatever he says!


    “Besides, am I that much of an animal in your heart?” Tristan was well aware of the fact that she was


    underage. That was why he had never done anything inappropriate to her. All he had ever done was


    give her hugs and kisses. “No. To be honest, I think you’re quite a gentleman.” Sophie had always


    thought so. “So, as a gentleman, don’t you think you should leave soon, Mr. Tristan? It’s gettingte,


    and I want to sleep.” In response, Tristan tapped her nose.


    After talking for so long, all she wants is for me to leave. Tristan scooped her up and walked toward her


    bed. Calmy, Sophie wrapped her arms around his neck. Perhaps after spending so much time together,


    she knew that he wasn’t going to do anything inappropriate to her. Hence, she wasn’t worried about


    what he would do. After putting her down on the bed gently, he pulled the covers over both their bodies.


    Sophie raised her eyebrows when she saw that. “Sleep in peace, okay? I’ve thought about doing


    something to you, but since you’ve already ttered me, I can’t possibly ruin that, can I?” “I meant it,


    though.” In fact, she only said it because she really thought he was a gentleman. “All right. You’ve had


    a long day today. Clear your mind and go to sleep, okay? I’ll leave once you’ve fallen asleep,” he said.


    With him next to her, she didn’t need essential oils anymore. “Okay,” Sophie answered sweetly and


    obediently. Tristan’s heart melted when he saw how sweet she looked. He kissed her on the forehead


    and shut his eyes. Sophie opened her eyes instantly when he kissed her.


    However, she kept silent when she saw that he had already closed his eyes. She even moved closer to


    him after that. He’s so approachable when he’s like this. Sophie quickly fell asleep while lying on his


    shoulder. Upon seeing that she was already fast asleep, Tristan left her room reluctantly. By then,


    Ysabelle had also gone to sleep. Felix was sitting alone in the living room. When he saw Tristan, he


    poured him a ss of wine. “Want some?” Tristan took the ss of wine and uttered petntly, “You


    really made yourself at home, huh?” “Oh,e on, Mr. Tristan! I’ve already done so much for you.


    Can’t I open a bottle of your wine?” “Do you know what I had to go through to get that bottle of wine?” It


    was Tristan’s hobby to collect wine. That particr bottle Felix opened hadn’te easy. “Well, I think


    wine only serves its value when someone drinks it. Don’t you think so?” Felix asked. What’s the point of


    collecting wine if we don’t drink them? Tristan didn’t answer to that. “By the way, Mr. Tristan, someone


    in Horington is investigating Sophie.” Felix had been wanting to tell Tristan that, but he never had a


    chance to do so. “There must be more to why Sophie went back this time around.” Tristan took out a


    cigarette from the cigarette box.


    He simply yed with it without lighting it up. Seeing that, Felix took a lighter from the coffee table,


    wanting to light the cigarette for Tristan. However, Tristan shook his head and said, “I don’t want to


    harm her with secondhand smoke.” “So, are you just going to keep holding it, then?” “You have a


    problem with that?” “No, of course not. Why would I have a problem with that? Whatever you say.”


    What can I possibly say? “Find out who the person investigating Sophie is.” The nerve of them to look


    for Sophie so openly. “I’ve already done that, but I couldn’t find anything.” How dare he talk so much


    when he can’t even find out who that person is? Tristan raised his brows. “Is that all you’re capable of?”


    “You can’t me me, Mr. Tristan. You know how weird the people around Sophie are.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    They’re all more powerful than the other! I think it’s normal that I can’t find anything about them.”


    Tristan didn’t respond. “To be frank, Sophie is an extraordinary girl. Not only is she associated with the


    International Medical Association, but she’s also connected to Arius. Now, we don’t even know who


    we’re dealing with. Being with a girl like her, don’t you feel pressured?” Felix asked. We don’t even


    know what’s going to happen next. Someone might juste and grab Sophie. Does he not feel


    pressured at all?
