Chapter 911 No Need To Follow Me
“Why are you in such a rush? I’ve never heard you say anything about this!” Sophie was slightly taken aback by the sudden turn of events.
“Something happened in Anglandur, and I must return to settle it.” The truth was, Nicholas did not want to stay there for a second longer.
“Why don’t you go back first? I want to stay here a little longer,” said the woman.
“Sophie, you and I are engaged. The trouble in Anglandur is much more serious than I expected. Why don’t you come back with me and help me out?”
There was no way Nicholas would allow her to stay behind all by herself.
At his insistence, Sophie let out a sigh and stopped rejecting him. “Is that so? All right, then.”
Nicholas heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her answer. In the next second, his phone rang, and he hurried outside to accept the call.
After his call, he noticed that Padma was leaving, and Richard was trailing behind her to send her off.
“There’s no need to thank me. You’re fast at transferring money. I like it,” said Padma.
No one had ever suspected Padma’s abilities, not even herself.
“Okay. Be careful on your way home.”
Nicholas maintained a similar demeanor with other women. He did not display excessive interest when engaging with them, with the only exception being Sophie..
Only in Sophie’s presence did Nicholas reveal his longing, desiring her undivided attention.
“Richard, send Ms. Padma to the airport.”
“Understood.”
Richard and Padma departed, leaving Nicholas alone. As he hung up the call, a mischievous smirk played across his lips. Everything is going according to plan, but why do I still feel a lingering sense of uneaset
They had to depart as soon as possible. Only then would Nicholas find peace of mind. If they lingered any longer, he couldn’t help but worry about the impending consequences.
Upon his return, Richard also inquired about Nicholas’ plan.
They had been away for an extended period this time, and it was time to head back. “Boss, I have already made arrangements for our return,” Richard informed.
“Very well. Make sure everything’s meticulously handled. I want to avoid any unforeseen complications before our departure,” stated Nicholas. Having recently gotten everything he ever wanted, he was determined to safeguard his newfound contentment from any potential disruptions.
“Don’t worry, Boss, I will see to it that everything is in order.” Naturally, Richard knew how much Nicholas

cared for Sophie.
That evening, Nicholas went to look for Sophie, who was immersed in her artwork, her concentration unbroken. As he laid eyes on her, a surge of emotion coursed through him, causing his heart to skip a beat.
She was a woman of many facets, and Nicholas found himself drawn to every single one of them. Sophie sensed his presence, but she chose to finish her painting before finally turning to face him. “What’s wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?”
“No, I don’t need anything. I just want to sit here quietly and watch you. It would be wonderful if we could stay like this forever,” Nicholas expressed, his desires simple and heartfelt, wanting nothing more than to remain by her side.
When confronted with Nicholas’s overwhelming affection, Sophie found herself at a loss for words, She couldn’t quite grasp how to respond to his deep infatuation.
That was how she was, being a naturally reserved person. Sophie’s quiet demeanor was something Nicholas had grown accustomed to.
Meanwhile, Tristan found himself alone in the mansion. In the past, he had never given much thought to being in solitude. However, now that Sophie was no longer there, he couldn’t help but feel that the mansion seemed too vast and empty.
He did not like this feeling at all.
Sean went to the mansion to find Tristan, and the two of them ended up sharing a drink.
“Sophie will return soon! There’s no need for you to be like this!” Sean reassured Tristan, hoping to ease his friend’s worries. There’s really no need for you to act like this.
“I know.”
Knowing that she would return soon was comforting, but Tristan couldn’t help but long for Sophie. It had only been three days since they last saw each other, yet he missed her intensely.
“If Sophie didn’t like you, I can imagine you would’ve ended up like Nicholas,” Sean remarked. Having an unrequited love was a pitiful thing, after all.
“That wouldn’t happen. The reality is that I’m the man she loves. Sophie loves me, and she’ll be with me for the rest of our lives.”
Sean merely hummed in acknowledgment before dropping the topic entirely.
“What about that case of yours? Isn’t it quite challenging? Can you solve it? If you can’t-”
“Hold it right there, Mr. Tristan. You know very well what kind of person I am. No matter how hard the case is, it’s no problem to me.”
No matter how complex the case was, Sean had confidence in his ability to unravel it. However, there was one knot in his heart that he could never untangle – the woman who had left him and fled the country.

Tristan posed a question, “Do you intend to remain like this for the rest of your life? If she doesn’t return and you don’t make an effort to find her, there will be no resolution.”
“She doesn’t want to see mel
Sean had contemplated searching for her but ultimately decided against it when he recalled the heartbroken expression he had seen on her face.
The mere thought of her caused his heart to shatter into countless fragments, leaving him in a state of excruciating pain and anguish. Thus, he could only immerse himself completely in his work, hoping to mask his pain.
It was essential for two individuals to value the time they spent together, as they never knew when it might come to an end. Regretting the lost moments would serve no purpose once everything had already
concluded.
“I wish I could hear Sophie’s voice,” Tristan muttered. However, deep down, he knew he still couldn’t make that call.
Sean said nothing in response.
He, too, shared the desire to hear the voice of the woman he held close to his heart. Despite all the years that had passed, he had never changed his phone number, hoping that one day she would reach out to him. Yet, the call he yearned for never came.
The next day. Sophie woke up at eight in the morning. As she opened her eyes, she was taken aback to find Nicholas standing in her room.
Restraining herself from giving him a piece of her mind, Sophie asked him, “I have something to attend to at the medical association today. Do you want to go with me?”
“Can I follow you?” Didn’t she always dislike me following her around? Oh gosh! I can finally accompany her!
“Sure, but if there’s something else you need to do, then forget it. I won’t force you to come with me,” she said accommodatingly.
“No, there’s nothing else I have to do. There’s only you. It’s always been just you.” Nicholas went to change his outfit before accompanying her to the medical association.
He was determined to stay by her side. After all, the people at the medical association knew that Tristan was Sophie’s boyfriend, and Nicholas didn’t want her to be affected by any gossip or rumors they might spread.
“What is the matter you have to attend to? Is it important? If it’s not, we can just come back and handle it after we get married.“
Upon their return to Anglandur. Nicholas was resolved to move forward with their wedding. He couldn’t bear to wait any longer and wanted to marry Sophie as soon as possible.
“It’s very important. Let’s go!”
Sophie’s intention in bringing Nicholas to the medical association was to wipe away part of his memories, believing that it was the most suitable place for the procedure to be performed.

Upon realizing that they were preparing to leave, Richard quickly joined them, ready to personally drive them to the medical association.
“Why are you following us? Go and handle the preparations for our return to Anglandur. We’re leaving tomorrow, Nicholas instructed his assistant.
Nicholas did not allow Richard to tag along, for he was aware that Sophie preferred to have privacy and did not fancy people following her around.
“I’ve already made the necessary arrangements, Boss. Please allow me to come with you. If anything were to happen, I can be of help.”
Richard couldn’t shake off his worries, fully aware that Tristan wouldn’t simply let the matter slide, even though Sophie’s memories had been altered.
A frown etched itself on Nicholas’ visage as he exclaimed with utmost confidence, “I said you don’t have to come with us. She won’t let anyone hurt me!”
