Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Going Off The Deep End

Thinking that he might have dialed the wrong number, Tristan put his phone down and glanced at it.

It’s Sophie’s phone number all right. Then, who’s the man who answered the phone? Is it the man this morning? So, she’s been with him all this while?

Something astringent welled within him. Verily, he was very much unfamiliar with such emotion.

“Is Sophie there?” His voice was frightfully glacial as though dripping ice.

“I’m sorry, but she’s currently occupied. I’ll have her phone you back when she’s free.”

Bailey hung up right after saying that.

Sophie was totally focused as she conducted the experiment, so she didn’t bother asking who exactly phoned her.

Meanwhile, Tristan’s expression turned even darker.

“Are you okay, Mr. Tristan?” Felix inquired cautiously.

Why is he wearing such an expression? He has been on the brink of blowing his top the whole of today, and he’s even more terrifying now!

Again, Tristan phoned Sophie.

This time, it was Aaron who answered the call.

“You’re already told that she’s busy. Can’t you understand that?”

He loathed people calling when he was conducting experiments. This time, he turned the phone off right away.

Tristan was dumbstruck.

Noticing that the man was on the verge of going off the deep end, Felix didn’t even dare to breathe.

Tristan’s expression was really intriguing since that was the first time someone dared to speak to him in such a manner.

“Who was it, Mr. Tristan? I’ll go and end him!”

Felix was truly afraid, for it was petrifying when the man lost his temper.

“No, it’s okay.”

Tristan’s voice was close to subzero temperature. Felix cast a glance at Sean, who sat across from him.

On the contrary, Sean was calm and unruffled as though it had nothing to do with him. But then again, that made sense considering his occupation.

“You guys enjoy yourselves. I’m leaving first.” Getting to his feet, Tristan snagged his suit jacket from the couch and draped it over his wrist before leaving.

“Mr. Tristan…”

Felix wanted to persuade him to stay, but he had already left.

“It must be because of Sophie again! Truly, I’ve never seen him so affected because of anyone in the past. Say, does love really have so much power over someone?” Charles couldn’t help remarking.

Finally, Sean lifted his head.

“Who knows when love is subjective? All right, seeing that Mr. Tristan has left, I’m leaving as well since I’ve still got a case on my hands.”

“You’re leaving as well?”

It’s been really difficult for the four of us to gather recently!

After Tristan got into the car, the driver turned and queried, “Where are we going now, Mr. Tristan?”

He was exceedingly cautious when he asked that question, for the murderous aura emanating off the man was simply too intense.

He’s been like this since he saw Ms. Tanner getting into the SWAT car this morning, and now, it’s even worse.

“Jipsdale Premier High.”

When the driver drove over to Jipsdale Premier High, Tristan didn’t alight from the car, merely sitting in there.

He phoned Sophie again, but her phone was turned off.

“Please excuse me while I take a puff, Mr. Tristan.” Finding the atmosphere scary, the driver decided to make himself scarce.

At that exact moment, Aaron stepped out of the gates of Jipsdale Premier High with Bailey and Sophie.

“Let’s continue after dinner! There’s still another experiment today.”

“Mr. Elswick, there’s still a long time before the physics competition. We really don’t need to be in such a rush.”

“The physics competition this time is a national competition, Bailey! If your performance in the physics competition this time is outstanding, you can go to Jipsdale University directly. As such, we must work hard now!”

“I also think that there’s still much time left. Mr. Elswick, I’ve still got something else to do tonight, so I’ll take a rain check on dinner.”

As soon as Sophie came out, she caught sight of Tristan’s car.

“You’re supposed to have a self-study session today anyway. What else do you have to do?”

“Would you please give me some freedom, Mr. Elswick? Don’t worry. I won’t embarrass you during the physics competition.”

“Fine, then. Go, go!”

Thereafter, Sophie walked toward Tristan’s car.

“Let’s go! I’ll bring you to dinner. Sophie has taken off, so you can’t do the same.” Aaron dragged Bailey along.

While being dragged away, Bailey peered over his shoulder, curious to know the identity of the person in the car.

When Tristan saw Sophie heading over, he swung open the car door from the inside.
