Chapter 268 Investigating Sophie Sophie felt rather uncomfortable 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 playing 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 Nicholas is back in Anglandur.” “Oh.” Sophie didn’t want to say much about Nicholas. “Be careful, Sophie! I think Nicholas saw you in Horington, and he’s now looking for you.” Sophie went silent. He saw me? “Yet, he went back to Anglandur 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, Nicholas won’t dare to touch her. “Okay. Got it. It’s late, 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 so late 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 getting late, and I want to sleep.” In response, Tristan tapped her nose.

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 flattered 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

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 glass of wine. “Want some?” Tristan took the glass of wine and uttered petulantly, “You really made yourself at home, huh?” “Oh, come 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 particular bottle Felix opened hadn’t come easy. “Well,
