He only cared about her life. The lives of others had nothing to do with him.

After the meal, Sophie requested, “I want to see Butterfly. I won’t stop worrying until I see her.”

Unfortunately, Nicholas shook his head.

“Sophie, I know that I’m just a villain in your eyes, but don’t you worry! Since I’ve promised not to harm her, I’ll keep my word. However, I will never agree to you seeing her now. I know how skilled you are. Moreover, I’m certain that you’re carrying a gun with you! If you were to see Butterfly, you would definitely rescue her and take her away. By then, I wouldn’t even have a chance to see you.”

That was how pathetic Nicholas was willing to become for Sophie. All that he had done so far was just for a chance to see her face.

Sophie was rendered speechless by Nicholas’ response to her request.

Nicholas knew her all too well.

“I can’t even take a look at her?” Sophie narrowed her eyes in displeasure.

Her annoyance did not go unnoticed by Nicholas, but he would not cave. Nicholas was too well-versed in Sophie’s powerful skills, which was why he could not risk it.

“Fine, then! If that’s the case, I’ll be heading back now. I’m tired. I want to rest.”

She had been on a flight for quite a long while. Not only so, but she still had not adjusted to the time zone and was struggling with jet lag. It was only natural that she felt tired.

All she wanted to do was to retire for the day.

“All right. I’ll send you back.”

Nicholas was familiar with her temper. If he continued to retain her in the restaurant after she had made such a statement, she would be infuriated.

Sophie’s temper toward himself had always been terrible.

Hence, Nicholas would sometimes be envious of the people around her, for Sophie would always be gentle to those she cared about.

Without arguing, Nicholas personally sent Sophie to the hotel.

“Can I hang in your room for a bit?” When they arrived at the hotel, Nicholas was still reluctant for them to part ways. He had pulled a lot of strings just to see her. It had always been his desire to spend more time with her.

When Sophie heard Nicholas’ question, her expression darkened instantly.
