Chapter 208 Am I Presentable Enough
At the thought of the signal at Wings of Light previously, that man’s threatening expression flashed across Sophie’s mind.
“What’s wrong? Did he really contact you?” Arius could not help but worry when he noticed the look on the woman’s face.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry. I can handle this.” Sophie was sure that she would be able to deal with it no matter what the other party wanted.
She did not fear anything.
“Sophie, why don’t you come to the medical association with me? He wouldn’t dare to try anything funny there. Besides, you might not be safe anywhere else.”
“Arius, I’ve already told you that I’m not afraid of him at all. Don’t worry about me,” Sophie replied calmly. “I’m no longer the same Sophie from before.”
No one would be able to bully her.
However, that was not enough to soothe Arius’ worries.
Sophie pushed him toward the boarding gate and said, “You’d better get going. Otherwise, the plane is going to leave without you.”
“No matter what, please remember to be extremely careful! If there’s anything, call me at once. I’ll rush back to save you at all costs.”
“All right. Are you going in now? Otherwise, it’s more likely that I would be the one saving you instead!”
That’s not funny! Arius shot the woman a glare.
“Sophie, you’re really ungrateful. I’m worried sick about you, and yet you can still joke about it? Can you have some empathy?”
Arius was feeling exasperated that everyone was so worried about Sophie, but she did not seem to care at all. It seemed a little too much.
In the end, the man had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Sophie turned around and saw Tristan standing there.
He had just arrived after parking his car.
“Has he gone in already?”
As Arius and Sophie had been through a lot together, Arius’ presence in Sophie’s life still bothered Tristan slightly.
“Yup. He just left.”
“Let’s go back then!” Tristan held Sophie’s hand and was about to start walking back when the woman said, “It seems like you don’t really like Arius.”
“Yup, you’re right. I’m not very fond of him. More accurately, I’m not fond of all those men who have bad intentions toward you,” Tristan answered honestly before continuing, “I saw how the two of you were so reluctant to say goodbye to each other just now, and honestly, I’m not very happy about it. All right, let’s go!”
Sophie was speechless when she heard that.
Reluctant to say goodbye to each other?
Seriously?
Was he really referring to me? Unbelievable!
It was snowing outside the airport. Sophie noticed that the weather was rather extreme that year as it had been snowing for almost half a month already.
She zipped up her down jacket.
Noticing the woman’s actions, Tristan wrapped Sophie in his arms and asked, “Are you cold?”
Why did she have to send Arius off? Was she worried that a grown man like him would lose his way? That was absolutely unnecessary.
“Mr. Tristan, why do you dislike Arius so much? He’s a really nice person.” Arius was Sophie’s best friend, and she just couldn’t understand why Tristan disliked him so much.
“Really? How nice? Is he nicer than me?”
After hearing what Tristan said, Sophie understood what was going on at once. The man was behaving in that manner because he was jealous.
That’s ridiculous!
“Arius and I are just friends.” That was the first time Sophie clarified their relationship with Tristan.
It was a fact that both of them were just friends.
They were friends who would be willing to sacrifice their lives for each other.
Perhaps not everyone would believe that such friendships existed in the world, but it was true that Arius and Sophie were friends who would give up their lives for each other.
Tristan was very happy when he heard Sophie’s explanation. To him, that meant that he had become more important to her!
