Chapter 845
Butterfly had just finished showering when she received Tristan’s call.
“What? You want me to find Winter?” What the heck? Why do I have to look for that woman?
“Mr. Tristan, although I’m on good terms with Sophie, I’m not that close to you. What makes you think you can order me around like that?” Butterfly said while drying her hair leisurely with a towel.
“Are you really not going to do it?”
Butterfly was the only one he could ask as the others were all busy.
“Mr. Tristan, is that a threat? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll call Sophie right now and tell her that you’re threatening me?”
“Try it if you dare!” Tristan replied in a cold voice. After a pause, he continued, “Oh, do you need me to pass the phone to Sophie?”
At that moment, Sophie appeared.
“Fine. I will do as you say only because of Sophie!” That woman must have a death wish to show up in Anglandur now.
Sophie stopped beside Tristan just as he hung up.
“What’s the matter? Did anything happen that I’m not aware of? You must let me know if there’s something wrong.”
“Winter is here. Charles asked me to take care of his sister.” An irritated expression appeared on Tristan’s face at the mention of Winter.
He could not help but feel frustrated as she was a huge problem to them.
“I see.” That did not bother Sophie the least. She would not waste energy on the woman, who was no different from a clown to her.
“Yup. I’ve asked Butterfly to look for her as I’m not free to do that myself.”
“You can go there personally if you want. Don’t worry about me. I will be fine here.” You really don’t have to stay with me round the clock.
“Nope. I want to stay by your side.”
“Tristan, I think it’s better that you go and take a look! I know how close Charles and you are. No matter what, Winter is still his sister. It would be difficult for you to face him if something bad happens to her here.”
Charles was someone important to the couple.
Besides, shouldn’t friends help each other?
“Haven’t I already asked Butterfly to look for her?” I’m doing that just for Charles. Taking a pause, Tristan continued, “By the way, did you manage to make any good progress? Do you think you will be done by today?”
“I don’t think so.” Although Sophie was indeed talented in that area, not all problems could be solved instantly. Moreover, medical research was a tedious process that needed time.
“No rush. Take your time.” Tristan pulled Sophie toward him and sat her down. “Where are you heading to now?”
“I have to go to the lab, so if you want to, you can look for Winter yourself.” It’s best to send that woman back to Chanaea anyway.
“All right then! I’ll listen to you.”
Since it was what Sophie wanted him to do, he had decided to make a trip personally and kick Winter back to Chanaea.
Tristan went to look for Butterfly after sending Sophie to the laboratory. When he called Butterfly, he was told that Winter had already been found.
Winter was in a miserable state when the man arrived. It seemed as if she had been robbed.
“Mr. Tristan, I’ve already found her, but she doesn’t trust me and refuses to leave with me. There’s nothing I can do,” Butterfly explained helplessly.
The moment Winter saw Tristan, tears started to stream down her cheeks.
She had come here because she could not stop worrying about him. However, she did not expect things to turn out that way.
“Mr. Tristan, I…” Before the woman could finish her sentence, she started sobbing again. It was undeniably a pitiful sight to behold.
“Hey, Ms. Quigley, are you trying to gain sympathy now?” One look and Butterfly could tell that Winter was a b*tch who had designs on Tristan. If she had known this fact beforehand, she would not have agreed to find the woman.
Winter did not pay any attention to Butterfly at all. Although Butterfly was an attractive woman, Tristan had not looked at her ever since he arrived. From that, it was obvious to Winter that the two of them were not close.
“Butterfly, please send her to the airport. I’ve already arranged for someone to be there to receive her.” Tristan did not want to waste another second there.
“Sure.”
Indeed, Sophie has picked the right man! Butterfly was rather impressed with Tristan for not wavering in front of Winter.
Upon hearing that, Winter started crying even harder.
“Mr. Tristan, I came here because I was worried about you. Do you really have to be so cruel to me?”
She could not believe that the man was not even willing to talk to her when she had disregarded her own safety to look for him.
“I’m not going back. I want to stay here with you!” Winter exclaimed shamelessly.
Butterfly was rendered speechless.
Why is she being so clingy when Mr. Tristan is not interested in her at all? Is there a point in wasting her feelings on someone who will never reciprocate them?
“Ms. Quigley, let’s go! Don’t force me to use violence. I don’t like to resort to that as I’m very ladylike.”
Winter shot Butterfly a glare and said, “Why are you being such a busybody? No one asked you to be here. What I choose to do is none of your business!”
There was no way she would easily return, given how much effort it took her to be there. “Mr. Tristan, I don’t mind going back, but you have to go back with me, okay?”
It’s simply too dangerous for him to be here. There’s absolutely no need for him to stay.
Anglandur has got nothing to do with us at all. I only want him to be safe.
“You’re not returning to Jipsdale. Currently, your only option is to go to Fandar. Charles is waiting for you there!”
Tristan had already given Winter a chance. Since she did not want it, he could only send her back to Fandar.
When Winter heard that, her expression changed at once. After staying in Fandar for so long, she could feel goosebumps on her skin just by hearing the name of the place.
“Mr. Tristan, I didn’t mean to trouble you. I came here only to see you. That was all I wanted and nothing else!”
She took a pause and continued, “I just could not stop worrying about you. I really don’t have other intentions. Please let me off!”
At that moment, Winter was extremely regretful for acting so impulsively.
She had left Jipsdale right after Charles departed, his words still fresh in her mind.
Tristan took out a length of rope from his car and tossed it to Butterfly.
Grabbing the rope, Butterfly immediately knew what Tristan wanted her to do.
She nodded and said, “All right then! Leave this to me. Even though Sophie is a very gracious woman, I still don’t wish to see her man getting involved with another woman in any capacity.”
Right after Butterfly finished speaking, she tied Winter up with the rope.
“Let me go! What are you doing? What are you planning to do? Mr. Tristan, I really don’t know what I’ve done wrong. Is it a crime for me to love you? Why do you have to do this to me?” Winter wailed hysterically.
Butterfly, who could not stand the woman’s voice any longer, found a piece of cloth in the car and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Mr. Tristan, don’t worry, and just leave this to me! I will make sure she reaches Fandar. From now on, you and Sophie can lead a peaceful life without anyone disturbing you.” Butterfly was all pumped up to carry out her task.
