Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744 Act Like A Scoundrel

“Don't mind him. No matter what he says, don't pay him any attention!” Tristan said. He did not want Sophie to meet Nicholas on her own.

He wouldn't mind if Nicholas were an ordinary man. However, the latter was literally a psycho who thought in extremes.

Tristan didn't know what would happen if Sophie actually met that man.

“Yeah, I know. So I didn't say yes,” Sophie voiced. Since she had decided to be with Tristan, it was only right that she told him about these things.

“All right. Remember to take a break in the lounge after you eat,” Tristan reminded.

“Okay. I'm hanging up then. You should also get some rest.”

After hanging up, Sophie headed to Barney's office. As Barney had things to deal with in Anglandur, he had to go back there.

However, it was risky for him to return. Once he was there, there would be many things out of his control.

Many people in Anglandur did not understand why Barney left in the first place, and the government was also unhappy about his decision.

That was why his trip this time was dangerous.

When Sophie reached the door, she heard Arius' voice coming from inside. “Dr. Smith, I'll go with you. No matter what comes our way, I'll face them with you.”

The decision to return to Chanaea was made by them collectively, so Arius would never let Barney handle the consequences on his own.

“No need. I'll return on my own. They won't dare to do anything to me,” Barney said. After all, he was a well-respected figure in Anglandur.

Arius shook his head.

“Dr. Smith, have you forgotten how they locked you up last time? They are willing to do anything for the sake of benefits.”

Arius was exasperated. He knew that not everyone cared about morals and ethics.

There were some people that were just outright shameless.

Barney heaved a sigh.

“But I have to go back. I know it will be difficult to come again once I go there, but I have no choice. Arius, if I fail to return, make sure to keep an eye on things here.”

As Sophie was totally inexperienced, Barney couldn't help but worry.

Just then, Sophie knocked on the door and walked in.

“Don't worry, Dr. Smith. I'll go with you this time. No matter what you'll have to face, I'll be by your side.”

Sophie was now a member of the Chanaean Medical Association. Naturally, she couldn't let Barney face the danger on his own.

Shaking his head, Barney insisted, “No, none of you should go. I can go by myself.”

There needed to be closure for some things. Otherwise, those people would never let him off and keep on pestering him.

Barney disliked being disturbed.

“I'll go with you,” Sophie repeated firmly.

She could only feel at ease if she went with Barney personally. There was a huge possibility that he wouldn't be able to come back after his trip this time if he went alone.

“Sophie!”

Barney knew that Sophie was a strong-minded woman, but he didn't want her to do this.

“How about this, Dr. Smith? Both Sophie and I will go with you. Let's be together no matter what happens,” Arius suggested.

They could not possibly back down at this time. Since they couldn't run away, they might as well brave the storm together.

“Fine.”

Left with no choice, Barney could only agree. Indeed, nothing could pose a challenge as long as the three of them were together.

“When do we leave?” Sophie asked since she had to let Tristan know.

“There's a flight tomorrow morning,” Barney replied with a sigh. Nevertheless, he seemed more relaxed now that Arius and Sophie were accompanying him.

“All right, I got it.”

The other members of the Chanaean Medical Association were also aware that Barney was going to visit Anglandur, and they were all worried.

However, none of them could help. The only thing they could do was to do their own jobs properly and not cause any trouble for the trio.

When Georgina found out that Arius was also going, she was dejected.

She somehow had an idea of what was going on and knew that they might not be able to come back again.

As Sophie and Arius walked out of Barney's office, they noticed Georgina waiting outside. It seemed like she wanted to say something.

“I'll go ahead first.” Knowing that Georgina was here for Arius, Sophie did not stay any longer and headed to the laboratory.

Arius could sense something wrong with Georgina. “What's wrong? Don't worry. Nothing will happen to us,” he reassured gently.

All of a sudden, Georgina stepped forward and hugged him.

“Arius, I like you. Regardless of how you feel about me, I still like you. So please take care, okay?”

Even if she couldn't be Arius' girlfriend, she wanted him to be safe and sound.

It was Arius' first time being embraced by a girl. Her body felt soft, and her fragrance filled his nose.

At that moment, Arius felt that it would be nice to date someone.

His voice softened as he told her, “Yeah, don't worry. I'll be careful.”

“All right.”

When Georgina realized what she had done, she moved back with a blush painting her face. With her red-rimmed eyes, she looked pitiful.

Arius couldn't resist chuckling.

“All right. You should get back to work. Don't worry about this. We know what to do.”

Besides, there was Tristan.

As long as Sophie was involved, Tristan would never sit back and do nothing. Arius had no doubts about Tristan's capabilities. The latter even managed to bring a general election candidate from Anglandur.

“Arius, I really like you,” Georgina emphasized.

She began to feel a bit greedy. In truth, she hoped that Arius could reciprocate her feelings. It was tormenting to have a one-sided love for someone.

“Yeah, I know.”

Although Arius felt that it would be nice to date someone, he didn't know if that girl would be Georgina. Hence, he wasn't sure how to answer her.

Hearing his words, Georgina was disappointed.

I thought he'd give me a chance since he's moved, but I guess he still doesn't like me.

Arius patted her shoulder and coaxed, “You should go back first. Stop overthinking and focus on work. Let's talk again when I'm back.”

Their visit to Anglandur this time was quite risky, so he didn't have the energy to contemplate things like dating right now.

“Okay.”

Upon entering the laboratory, Arius saw that Sophie was already doing an experiment. He couldn't help but marvel at how composed she was.

It seemed like she was never affected by anything. They were heading to Anglandur the next day, yet here she was, conducting an experiment so calmly.

“Sophie, I suddenly feel like it'd be nice to date someone.”

“What are you talking about? Are you going to act like a scoundrel now?” Sophie looked at him disapprovingly. She continued, “Georgina is a nice girl. If you don't plan on marrying her, then don't mess with her. Do you understand?”
