“I wasn’t frightened. If your mercenaries didn’t scare me last time, I certainly wouldn’t have been affected by a car crash. I’m a brave woman, don’t you know? There’s no need for you to fuss about me. I’m not that fragile,” Sophie assured.

“All right, then. You sure are amazing. Still, why aren’t you asleep yet? Is something on your mind?” Tristan wondered.

“It’s nothing.”

“Really?”

“What’s the matter? Don’t you believe me?”

“Why wouldn’t I believe you? I trust every word that comes out of your mouth.”

Sophie turned around and lay in his embrace. “If one day you’re injured because of me, I won’t be able to help but blame myself for it. I don’t want to see you harmed.”

Pressing his chin on her head, Tristan replied, “What are you thinking? Why would I be injured because of you? Your existence alone brings me joy. So, no matter what happens, I only ask that you stay by my side. Don’t think that whatever you do will make me happy.”

She had no idea what message he was trying to convey, but that was his sincere thoughts.

Even if it cost him his life, he still wouldn’t hesitate to stand by her side.

“Tristan—” Sophie was touched. How did he soften my heart to this degree? How can he? It’s because of him that I’m no longer the carefree person I used to be. I just want to protect myself and stay by his side forever. That’s why I want to formulate better solutions to these abrupt problems instead of charging headlong into the issue.

“It’s late. You should rest.” After carrying her to the bed, Tristan covered her with the blanket and lay beside her. “I’ll keep you company until you’re asleep.”
