Chapter 460
Sophie and Tristan nestled on the couch while watching television together.
Sophie seldom watched any dramas, but she would watch variety shows sometimes. At that moment, she was watching a variety show with Tristan when Felix called him informing him to handle some issues at the company.
Sophie overheard the call and frowned. Tristan’s still feeling unwell!
“Felix, can’t you settle it yourself?” She voiced her concern directly since the call was on speaker, and she was quite familiar with Felix.
“Well, I wouldn’t have called if I could settle it myself, now would I? You think I want to disturb you two?” Felix really had no choice. If not, he definitely wouldn’t have made this call.
Felix knew Tristan’s temperament all too well. Now, Sophie was the only one who mattered in his mind. Felix wouldn’t have a good time either if he interrupted their time alone.
“All right, I got it. I’ll be there right away.” Tristan hung up the phone call. Indeed, he needed to handle certain matters.
Seeing his reaction, Sophie sighed, knowing that nothing she said could persuade him to stay home.
“Don’t worry. I’m fine.” It’s merely a slight fever. I can even bear sicknesses that are worse than this.
“Mr. Tristan, I know you’re busy, but it’s also important for you to take care of your health.” Besides, it’s already after working hours. Why is something still happening at the company? Who is preventing my boyfriend from getting adequate rest? “Fine. The risotto’s cooked. Have some before leaving,” Sophie insisted.
Since the risotto was prepared by her, Tristan didn’t refuse. Each of them had a bowl. She even took his bowl of risotto over and blew on it to cool it down, as it was hot.
“To be honest, Sophie, I think it’s quite nice to be sick now because you’ll take good care of me.” This feels great!
Sophie shot him a glare.
“You’re not a child anymore. Why would you say such a thing? What’s nice about getting sick? Promise me you’ll stay healthy and stop getting sick.” Although sickness and death were inevitable in life, she just didn’t wish to see him get sick.
“Okay, I promise you. Is this enough?” Tristan replied.
When the risotto was cold enough to be consumed, Tristan began eating.
“This is quite delicious.” He started praising her right after he had just taken a bite.
Hearing that, Sophie was rendered speechless. It’s just risotto. How delicious can it be? He’s too supportive!
After finishing the risotto, Sophie started preparing Tristan’s outfit. He stood beside and watched her choose his outfit from the wardrobe.
A smile appeared on his face. She looks like my wife when she’s choosing an outfit for me so seriously. This thought alone made him feel extremely blissful.
Having chosen an outfit, Sophie placed the clothes on the bed. “Get changed now.”
Then, she saw how happy he was. A tinge of sorrow filled her heart. He’s Tristan, a man who can have whatever he wants! Yet, he’s so easily satisfied at this moment.
“What are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking that when we get married in the future, we’ll be the happiest people on earth!” I feel glad and blessed as long as she’s here.
“Mm-hmm.” Sophie didn’t have the heart to deny his words after seeing his joyous expression. “You should get changed now.”
“Help me!”
Sophie only had to shoot him a glance for him to stop pushing his luck and admit defeat.
“All right, I was just joking! I’m changing now. You don’t have to get out. I don’t mind you watching.”
Sophie was at a loss for words. I know you don’t mind, but I do. I can’t bring myself to stay here and watch.
At last, Sophie left the room and got changed as well. After Tristan came out of his room, he noticed she was already wearing a new set of clothes.
“Why did you get changed? Are you going somewhere? I can drop you off first!” Tristan thought she had something else to do, so he insisted on fetching her.
“I’m not going anywhere. I just think it’ll be boring to stay home, so I’m coming with you.” Sophie wanted to know who was interrupting his rest.
“You don’t have to come with me. You should rest after having such a long day.”
“What if I insist?”
“All right, then. Let’s go!” Trisan never said no to whatever she wished to do.
Sophie couldn’t help but laugh when she saw his reaction. He really spoils me. She felt extraordinarily blessed at that thought.
After getting to the underground garage, Sophie asked Tristan for the car keys, then opened the door to the passenger seat. “I’ll drive today.”
Tristan had no objection to her arrangement as he got into the passenger seat directly.
After closing the door for him, Sophie hopped into the car and drove to Lombard Group.
“Sophie, there must have been a misunderstanding. I only have a slight fever!” Although her acts of service made him happy, he didn’t want her to worry.
“I know that!” She was fully aware of that.
“All right, then!” Looks like there are consequences for acting pitiful. I still made her worry.
Sophie drove all the way to the underground parking lot of Lombard Group. Then, she took the elevator and got to the ninetieth floor with Tristan.
Felix saw them as his savior as soon as they arrived. “You guys are finally here! Someone’s attacking our system right now. All of our cybersecurity engineers are here, but I’m not sure if we can defend our network.”
That is how the world works. There are always someone better and many talented people out there.
Sophie frowned. “Who’s always trying to cause trouble for you?” This wasn’t the first time such a situation had happened.
“I can’t even keep track of the enemies I’ve made.” Tristan was already used to dealing with these issues.
“I’ll go take a look!” Sophie couldn’t help but want to teach the opponent a lesson. After all, the only way to keep Tristan safe was to find out who the culprit was.
“There’s nothing you can do to help, Sophie. You should just stay here and rest.” Felix thought it was pointless for Sophie to go inspect the situation.
Most of the cybersecurity specialists were top hackers. It would be impossible for Sophie to get anything done if those specialists couldn’t even settle the problem.
“Mr. Northley, I’m only going to see what’s happening. I’m not trying to do anything. You don’t have to be so worried.”
“It’s not that. I just think they’re too busy right now. Don’t go over and cause them any more trouble.”
“Felix!” Tristan warned him as soon as he heard what Felix said.
Felix rubbed his nose awkwardly. “Fine. That’s not what I meant, and I shouldn’t have said that.”
“That’s exactly what you meant. It’s all right. I’ll be the bigger person and forgive you,” Sophie said magnanimously.
Felix didn’t know how to respond. This is miserable. Why is my life so difficult?
“No more next time, Felix!” Tristan didn’t want Felix to treat Sophie that way even if Felix was his best friend.
