Chapter 837
“That won’t be necessary, Felix. Trust me. I can head over on my own.”
Having seen the files on the terrorist organization, he believed that he could manage it all on his own.
“You should just focus on your relationship instead. Why would you want to go with me? I don’t need your company.” Charles felt he needed such an opportunity.
“You… Fine! Be careful, then.”
Realizing that Charles wouldn’t let him come along, he had no choice but to give up.
Charles did not tell his family where he was headed and what he was doing.
Thinking he was going to Anglandur, Winter kept pestering him to let her go with him.
“Take me with you, Charles! I just want to make sure you’re all right over there! I promise I won’t cause you any trouble!” Given how dangerous it was in Anglandur, she didn’t feel safe letting him go alone.
“Why are you being so persistent, Winter? I’ve told you that it’s impossible between you and Tristan, haven’t I? Stop blaming it on Sophie. He wouldn’t date you with or without her in his life!” Charles said with a frown.
I’ve told her this countless times, so why is she still being so stubborn?
“You’ve never been in love with someone, so you would never understand how I feel. I can’t stop my heart from longing for him!”
She would’ve stopped herself from loving Tristan if she could.
“That’s enough. Grandpa isn’t well right now. Instead of thinking about such things, you should visit Grandpa at the hospital and spend more time with him.”
Charles wasn’t about to let her go with him, especially since she was finally back.
Fine! If you won’t bring me along, then I’ll find a way to head over myself! Winter was determined to get what she wanted, with or without his help.
Charles headed out after all of his preparations were complete.
Fifteen hours had passed by the time Sophie woke up.
It wasn’t like her to sleep for such long periods of time, but she was too tired and didn’t feel like getting up after lying down.
The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was Tristan lying next to her and staring at her.
She felt her face burn up from his scorching gaze.
“You haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. Shouldn’t you be getting some sleep now that you’re finally back? Why are you staring at me like that?” He really deserved a good rest after everything he had gone through.
Tristan pulled her into his arms as he replied, “I didn’t sleep because I wanted to look at you. Honestly, I can’t believe a pretty girl like you would exist in this world. I can’t help but find every inch of your body irresistible!”
There wasn’t a single part of her that he didn’t like.
Hearing those words of affection filled Sophie’s heart with a sweet sensation.
“Thanks for staying by my side all this while, Tristan. I know it wasn’t easy for you,” she said while kissing him on the lips.
He has a lot on his plate as is, and yet, he set them aside so he could remain by my side at all times. This man really loves me to the core!
“I didn’t do anything, so it’s not exactly rough at all.”
It was the three of them who conducted the research while being under a ridiculous amount of pressure, so it was them who truly had it rough.
However, Sophie never let them down and managed to save the day once again.
It felt as though she could solve any problem anytime with ease.
Sophie rolled herself on top of him and said, “We’ll be able to head back in another two more weeks at most.”
The problem here would have been taken care of by then. I can’t wait to head back to Chanaea! I don’t like the environment here in Anglandur!
“Mm. Are you hungry? You must be starving after sleeping for so long, huh? Shall I have someone bring you some food?”
“Yeah, I am a little hungry.”
Sophie had eaten before going to bed, but she found herself getting hungry after hearing him say that.
Tristan had the hotel staff bring some food over to their room, and they then took turns feeding each other.
Had someone told her in the past that she would act all lovey-dovey with her man, she would never have believed it.
Even so, everything Sophie did with Tristan simply came naturally to her and filled her heart with a sweet and warm feeling.
They had just finished eating when someone knocked on the door.
The look on Tristan’s face turned gloomy when he opened the door and saw Arius and Butterfly standing outside.
“We haven’t been able to rest well for a long time, so why aren’t you two resting in your rooms? Why come and disturb us like this?” he asked with a frown.
Arius pouted as he replied, “As tired as we may have been, we’ve had over ten hours of sleep, which is more than enough. Anyway, I didn’t come here to disturb you two. There’s something that I need to speak to Sophie about.”
Butterfly simply kept quiet and stood behind Arius the entire time.
Tristan sighed as he stepped aside to let them in.
Upon noticing the food on the table, Arius helped himself to it without any hesitation.
Butterfly fell speechless when she saw that.
Professor Gullifer really isn’t picky about his food, huh?
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the medicine?” Sophie asked.
We have conducted tons of experiments on it, so there shouldn’t be any issues.
“No, no problem at all. I just came to tell you that our mentor has headed over, so you can rest easy now.” Apparently, Barney was so worried that he went there to keep watch himself.
Sophie frowned when she heard that.
He’s not exactly feeling well, so why wouldn’t he stay here and rest instead?
“Okay. I’ll head over later and have a look.” In order to reduce the drug’s side effects as much as possible, they would have to monitor the clinical trials closely.
“No. You’ve been exhausting yourself a lot lately, so you should just stay here and rest. I’ll go and have a look,” Arius said.
Tristan nodded in approval of Arius’ response. “Yeah, he can take care of things for you. You should just stay here and try to get some more rest.”
Butterfly knew that she was worried about Arius’ safety, so she reassured her, “Don’t worry, Sophie! I’ll go with Arius and keep him safe!”
“All right, then. We’ll swap places tomorrow.”
Sophie decided not to dwell on the matter as it wasn’t anything worth stressing herself over.
Arius then headed out of the room with Butterfly, leaving Sophie and Tristan inside. She had been too busy to think about the terrorist organization’s motives for capturing her and Arius, but she had all the time in the world to do so now.
“You wanted me to look into the terrorist organization, right? Could you show me the files?” she asked.
Tristan switched on his laptop and showed her the data that Sean had gathered.
As Sophie was able to read ten lines in a single glance, she was able to skim through the data fairly quickly and understood the situation.
“Heh… These people sure are bold. I can’t believe they had the audacity to capture me!”
With Barney and Arius around, she figured her presence was not needed at the moment.
“How about we go say hi to these people, Tristan?” Since she would be free for the next couple of days, she decided to destroy the terrorist organization’s base and capture their leader in retaliation.
