Chapter 289
Tied Up Before Tristan could open the door, someone did so from the outside. Sophie saw him standing behind the door, so she asked puzzledly, “What’s wrong? Are you going somewhere?” Tristan shook his head. Since she had already returned, he wasn’t going anywhere anymore. “You’ve been gone for so long, so I was actually going to look for you. Since you’re back, let’s sit and eat!” Everyone in the room was waiting for her. “I’m sorry to have kept you all waiting,” Sophie apologized.
Felix a look. Why is he such a busybody? Seeing as Sophie didn’t seem inclined to answer, Sarah then lightened the mood by saying, “All right. Let’s eat, everyone. I’m famished!” Felix wanted to say something, but he changed his mind when he saw Sophie’s expression. Fine. Mr. Tristan isn’t even asking. Why should I?

Since Sophie doesn’t feel like telling us about it, we shouldn’t keep asking. When she’s ready, she’ll talk. Sophie went back to her seat and sat down. Tristan sat down next to her as well. It was as if Tristan hadn’t heard Felix’s question. As they ate, he was still putting food on Sophie’s plate. With Tristan, Sophie could do whatever she liked. When she felt like talking to him, he would always listen attentively. However, he wouldn’t force things out of her if she refused to speak. Seeing him like that, Sophie felt relieved. Meanwhile, Nicholas was tied up to a chair in the private room next door. Besides that, a towel had even been stuffed into his mouth. At that moment,
