Pursuing Her

Chapter 386

“Sophie, you should let Danny walk you out!” Eustace sounded concerned.

“That's right, Sophie. I'll walk you out right now. It won't take more than a few minutes.”

How can we let her walk out alone?

With no further protest from Sophie, Danny escorted her to the main gate.

“Sophie, I'm really sorry. I'm supposed to send you home, but I can't do so because duty calls.”

Cognizant that they were in a hurry to go on a mission, Sophie would never have allowed him to do so.

“Apologies are not needed. You can go back now.”

Sophie hailed a taxi and left right away.

“Sophie is really amazing!” What's wrong with our captain? How can he not recruit such an exceptional person to the team?

By the time Sophie returned to Wisteria Apartments, it was already ten at night.

No sooner had she punched in the code for the door and opened it than Ysabelle sprang forward from the couch.

“Sophie, where did you go? Do you know how worried I was?” Ysabelle was on the brink of tears.

“Something came up. Didn't I tell you earlier about it? Why are you still so worried?”

“You've been gone for so long and we couldn't reach you, so how can we not be concerned?”

We were worried sick, all right?

After throwing Tristan a glance, Sophie gently nudged Ysabelle aside. Oh no, he sure looks angry right now.

“I just went running some errands, and the place required me to turn off my phone. That's why.”

Tristan was rendered speechless.

While all of us were filled with anxiety, she was just running errands?

“Why didn't you call? Don't you know that we would be worried?”

“I forgot, as I was in a rush. I'm sorry. I promise not to make you worry the next time.”

I really didn't mean it. It's just that the place Eustace brought me to can't be revealed to others.

“Where in the world did you go? Felix couldn't find you anywhere,” Ysabelle questioned, unable to control her emotions.

“You even sent Felix to look for me?”

“Don't overthink it. We were just worried about you.”

“Mmm-hmm, I know.”

I admit it's my fault for disappearing for such a long period.

“All right now, all that matters is that you're fine. I was so worried I couldn't even drink any water.” Ysabelle then poured two glasses of water; one for Sophie and the other for herself.

Nevertheless, Ysabelle's reaction still made Sophie guilty.

“I'll make it up to you by buying you drinks the next time we go out.”

“No, do it now. I have yet to have my dinner!” Famished, Ysabelle couldn't wait for another day.

“Have you not eaten too?”

The usually calm Tristan hasn't had his dinner, too? I lost contact with him for about ten hours, that's all.

“Yeah.” Obviously, I haven't eaten.

Even since he got to know her, he lost the ability to maintain his composure.

Anything that was related to her would affect him in one way or another.

“Why are you so stubborn? Didn't I tell you to wait at home for me?” In the end, she still chose to disobey and head out.

The situation was too urgent to be ignored.

“I promise this will never happen again. Are you satisfied now?”

“Is Eustace and the others in some sort of trouble?” It's never good whenever Eustace is involved.

“Mmm-hmm, but I can't tell you much about it. I hope you understand.” She couldn't say much as the information was classified.

“I do. Nonetheless, since you intend to compensate Ysabelle, I'm entitled to something too, as I was also given a scare.”

He obviously didn't want to miss out on any benefits now that she had returned.

Otherwise, the few hours he spent worrying would have been a waste.

His words ignited a glint of amusement in Sophie's eyes.

“So, what is it that you want?” Fine. I'll try my best to satisfy whatever request he has.

“I've yet to decide what I want. Why don't we have dinner first, and I'll tell you about it later.”

“Okay. Coincidentally, I'm hungry too.” She didn't manage to eat due to how busy she was earlier.

Having had nothing since noon, she was truly famished.

“I planned to visit Sunny today, but couldn't make it in the end. I wonder if his hand is doing any better.”

As he was recuperating in the hospital recently, Sunny didn't participate in any of The Wheelers' marketing activities.

“With Arius around, what is there to worry about?” If Arius can't manage the situation, no one can.
