Chapter 665
Hearing that, Felix was the first to state his disagreement. “That won’t do. If you girls insist on heading out to have fun, you’ll have to bring me along!” he insisted.
As Ysabelle’s boyfriend, Felix was so smitten with her that being apart from her was simply unbearable. Thus, he wanted to be by her side at all times.
Ysabelle jumped at the idea and responded, “Why not? I could use a little bit of time away, too. So when are you planning on going? I’d love to join you, Cecelia!” It sounded like a great idea to her.
No matter what issues or difficulties they encountered, they were confident that a vacation would be the answer to their problems.
“Mr. Tristan, can you stand the idea of being apart from Sophie? Should we tag along? We can do all the hard labor,” Felix suggested. He knew that Tristan wouldn’t want to be separated from Sophie.
“It’s time for a much-needed vacation. You’ve been tired recently, so it would be nice to take a break,” Tristan replied. He was always busy at work, so he wanted her to be able to get away from it all and enjoy a holiday abroad.
“Mr. Northley, you should learn from Mr. Tristan. Your girlfriend won’t run away, so why would you need to stick to her at all times?” Cecelia complained.
I can’t believe Sean didn’t fall for my charms. He’s weird. Forget it, then. Since he doesn’t like me, I’ll just give up. He’s not worth my time, anyway.
Cecelia was not in a rush to find her ultimate companion. After all, there were countless potential suitors in the world. She believed that one day she would eventually find “The One” and that the wait would be worth it.
“Says who? What if she escapes? Who’ll take responsibility if that were to happen?” Felix retorted like the coward he was.
Hearing that, Ysabelle gave his thigh a forceful pinch.
“Felix, don’t you trust me? What was that? Don’t worry. I’ll let you know in advance if I want to break up with you,” she snapped.
Felix was speechless.
Why would she tell me in advance? What use is that? I don’t want to break up with her!
“Ysabelle, how can you disregard me after hurting me? That’s too much! I can’t comprehend why you’d want to break up with me when I love you so deeply.”
Seeing their interaction, Sophie felt her frustration fading away.
Indeed, her friends were the ones who provided her with the most love and support.
“You should travel with your friends,” Arius told her. “A little bit of rest can go a long way. You don’t want to exhaust yourself, do you?”
“Mm. I know,” Sophie agreed.
Tristan remained steadfastly beside Sophie that night, assuring that she had no opportunity to ruminate and become overwhelmed by her thoughts.
Sophie flung her arms around his neck and pressed a kiss to his sexy lips.
“Aren’t you busy? I don’t need you to stay with me. I’m fine!” she assured him.
“I’m not busy. Have you decided where you want to travel?” Tristan asked. He was reluctant to be apart from her, but he knew it would be beneficial for her to spend some time with people who could make her feel better.
Cecelia and Ysabelle were pretty famous locally, so they were unable to go on vacation within the country and instead had to go abroad for their break.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you get a leave of absence from the University of Medicine, so don’t worry and have fun. I’ve arranged for someone to keep watch on your mother, so she’ll be in good hands,” he added.
“Mm!”
The following morning, Tristan received a call from the psychiatric nursing home telling him that Willow had escaped.
Seeing his reaction, Sophie asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Tristan replied, “It’s nothing. Let me give you a ride to the airport!”
After making up their minds to take a vacation, the girls decided to depart that day.
“If you’re busy, you don’t have to drop me off at the airport. Felix is heading there later too, so I can take his car,” Sophie said.
Tristan shook his head. “It’s fine. I’ll take you to the airport myself. Nothing is more important to me than you.”
Sophie couldn’t stop him.
After he dropped her off at the airport, she met with Cecelia, Ysabelle, Butterfly, and Sarah.
When Sarah discovered that they were planning a fun-filled getaway, she quickly decided to jump on board and join them. Butterfly heard about their vacation from Arius, so she also decided to tag along.
At first, Butterfly wasn’t close to the other girls, but her outgoing nature allowed her to quickly become more comfortable and acquainted with them.
When Tristan and Sophie showed up, the four girls stood up and welcomed Sophie warmly.
Naturally, Felix was still worried.
“Be careful, okay? You girls are so gorgeous, so I’m worried that scoundrels will take advantage of you,” he said worriedly.
I wish I can join them.
He suggested, “Why don’t I tag along? That way, I can protect you girls.”
“That’s enough, Felix. There are five of us! Besides, no one will dare to bully us with Sophie around!”
Felix knew that Sophie was more experienced in combat than he was, so he gave up trying to convince them to change their mind.
Ysabelle said eagerly, “It’s almost time, so you should leave now. We’re going to board the plane soon.”
Reluctance flashed across Felix’s eyes as he dragged Ysabelle aside.
“What’s wrong? We’re leaving soon. What are you doing?” Ysabelle rolled her eyes at him.
“Do you resent me? I’m just worried about you. If anything happens, let me know immediately. Remember to video call me every day, too!” he reminded her urgently.
Once Ysabelle’s wild side took over, he would be chucked at the back of her mind. It was inevitable that she would get carried away when she was having a good time.
That could explain why Felix was worried about her.
Seeing that, Ysabelle felt her heart soften.
Does he feel insecure in this relationship?
“Felix, there is no need for you to worry. I want you to know that I love you, and I am not planning on ending our relationship. I’ll remember to video call you every day!” she promised.
Felix felt aggrieved as they weren’t planning on letting him tag along on their trip.
He cupped her cheeks and gave her a firm kiss. “Remember your promise,” he urged.
Ysabelle gave him a reassuring nod.
Sophie and Tristan stood some distance away from the couple. Tristan knew she was capable of protecting herself and the other girls.
“It is important to take care of yourself when you travel, so make sure you do not overexert yourself. Make sure you eat regularly and eat enough,” he reminded.
“Got it.”
Knowing he would worry about her, she consented to each and every one of his requests.
“Remember to call me.”
“Okay.”
Tristan asked her hesitantly, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?” He couldn’t help but wonder if she had nothing to say after all this time.
Sophie nodded and said, “Don’t tire yourself out. Remember to miss me, too.”
There was no need to voice the rest of her thoughts.
Tristan placed his arm around her waist.
“Mm. Have fun! I’ll be waiting for you back home.”
