Pursuing Her

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 England.” “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. Did he see me? “Yet, he went back to England 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.

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

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?”

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, 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.”
