Chapter 855
“It’s okay. You guys should go ahead. I’ll catch up to you in a while.” Sophie saw Nicholas and thought he had come alone.
“Okay, be careful.” Arius knew Nicholas had always restrained himself and behaved well in front of Sophie despite being a lunatic.
He gave Butterfly a nudge when he noticed her standing still.
“Hey, didn’t you hear what Sophie said? She asked us to go ahead. What’s wrong? Have you fallen for Nicholas?”
Why is she staring blankly like that?
Butterfly glared at him in response.
“Why are you such a busybody? It’s my freedom to love whoever I want! What’s it to you? Mind your own business!”
After all, Nicholas saved my life, but I haven’t thanked him. Ah… Forget it. He only risked his life to save me because of Sophie. It’s all because I’m Sophie’s best friend. Otherwise, he would have cared less about my safety.
At the thought of that, she could not help but feel bitter about it.
After glancing at Nicholas, she didn’t walk over to him but instead left with Aruis and the rest.
Nicholas expressed his disdain when he saw Tristan coming over with Sophie. “I only want to have a few words with Sophie, Mr. Tristan. What are you worried about?”
Is there really a need for such caution?
“She’s my wife and not someone you can covet. You should probably go on your way now.” Tristan had never spoken nicely to Nicholas.
“Haha, your wife? You two are not married yet. Who knows whose wife she would become in the future?” Nicholas made a provocative remark in return.
His words successfully caused Tristan’s temper to flare up.
Without hesitation, Tristan folded his sleeves, wanting to teach Nicholas a lesson right away.
When Nicholas saw Tristan’s actions, he quickly removed his jacket, ready for a fight.
Sophie was rendered speechless by their childish behavior.
“I’m being serious. You two have to stop this nonsense! We’re getting on the plane soon.”
Nicholas instantly felt aggrieved after hearing Sophie’s words.
“Can I go with you, Sophie?” Nicholas wanted to stay next to her.
“What do you think?”
Nicholas knew he could never leave with Sophie as he wished, as he still had many things to handle in Anglandur. Moreover, the foundations of the Sable family’s businesses were in Anglandur. It would be impossible for him to leave whenever he wanted to.
“Can’t you go easy on me, Sophie? At least try to lie to me!” Sometimes, he felt pathetic as his affection was not reciprocated.
Seeing Nicholas’ miserable situation, Tristan felt incredibly lucky to have Sophie in his life. Fortunately, when they met, Sophie wasn’t in love with anyone and eventually fell in love with him.
Otherwise, he would be in the same unfortunate situation as Nicholas.
Unrequited love was the worst thing to ever happen to anyone in love.
“Don’t give me that look, Tristan. We won’t know who’s the winner at the end of the day!” Nicholas was adamant that he was not going to give up.
“No matter what, I’m grateful for your help, Nicholas. How about this? I’ll treat you to a meal when you come to Chanaea. But for today, we really need to leave now.”
Sophie glanced at her watch and realized they needed to leave.
“Okay. Remember what you said. I’ll meet you in Chanaea soon. Promise me you won’t bring him along when the time comes,” Nicholas said straightforwardly.
“All right. I promise. We’ll be heading in now.”
Although he was reluctant to let her go, he was not in the position to make her stay.
“Remember this, Sophie. Just give me a call no matter what difficulties you’re encountering. I will definitely rush to you.”
Sophie was both speechless and exasperated at Nicholas’ continued stubbornness.
“You need to live for yourself, Nicholas. Please don’t put your priority on me. It’s not worth it!” Sophie didn’t want him to treat her too well since she couldn’t respond to his love.
Then, Tristan wrapped his arm around her waist and led her inside the airport.
Standing outside the airport, Nicholas felt utterly desolated.
He wished he was the one standing next to her and was ready to give anything for that.
Richard quickly got out of the car after he saw the two leave.
“Boss, we need to leave.”
“Mhm.”
It’s fine. I still have a chance as long as they are not married.
In truth, there was nothing he could do.
With his arm wrapped around Sophie’s waist, Tristan went to find Arius and the others. This time, they were taking Tristan’s private plane.
Hence, they could board the plane now.
“Honestly, I’m not coming to Anglandur ever again,” Arius said curtly.
We worked our asses off here, but what did we get in return? These people are terrible.
“Don’t jinx it. Nobody knows what might happen the next day.” Butterfly figured he didn’t need to say something unguaranteed in advance.
Hearing that, Arius rolled his eyes at her.
Whatever. I’ll just ignore her.
Barney finally heaved a sigh of relief when the plane took off.
“Sophie, you should manage Chanaean Medical Association from now on. I’m getting old and not fit to make any more decisions.”
He knew his decision had put his two mentees in great danger this time.
“Dr. Smith, you’re still young. You should manage Chanaean Medical Association!” Sophie wasn’t inclined to take the offer.
“But I think you’re more suitable for the position.”
“I’m still a student and have to attend classes, Dr. Smith.” Even if I don’t study, I have to spend time dating. Otherwise, poor Tristan will feel too lonely.
“Well then. Arius, I’m leaving Chanaean Medical Association to you when we return to Chanaea,” Barney said resignedly.
Hearing that, Arius promptly shook his head.
“You’ve got to be joking, Dr. Smith! I don’t have a girlfriend yet! I need time to find one. Do you want me to be single for life?” he snapped.
“What are you two thinking? Why are you refusing a highly esteemed position? Anyone would kill to have it!”
“Dr. Smith, I’m serious. I think you’re the most suitable person for that position. Don’t worry! We won’t have any problems with your decisions,” Sophie said sincerely. “You don’t need to take what happened this time to heart. Everything has been resolved, hasn’t it?”
She knew Barney was traumatized over what happened this time. However, there really was no need for that.
They were all adults who could take responsibility for their own decisions.
“That’s right, Dr. Smith. Please feel at ease with your position as the decision-maker. Sophie and I will take your instructions.” Barney Smith was undoubtedly the God of Medicine.
