Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 831

CHAPTER 831 NOTHING TO DO WITH HER

The look on Nicholas' face almost caused Butterfly to burst out in laughter. It turns out that Nicholas is just a paper tiger in front of Sophie.

As the pilot flew the helicopter away, the terrorists' helicopter pursued them with the intention of engaging them in a dogfight.

A grim expression descended upon Nicholas' face as he snarled, “D*mn it. These guys have no respect for me at all. Don't they know what this place is?”

Furthermore, the Sable family crest was emblazoned across the helicopter.

“Why are you so worked up about it, Nicholas? These guys are vicious. They don't give a d*mn who you are!”

In reality, Nicholas' name didn't carry much weight in Anglandur.

At the same time, Arius, too, was amused by Butterfly's words.

She's such a brazen gal! Can't she see how Nicholas is already fuming?

Just like Arius, Butterfly knew that Nicholas would never lay a finger on them simply because they were Sophie's close friends.

As a result, they had nothing to fear from him.

It was true that Nicholas wasn't going to hold Butterfly accountable, as Sophie was sitting right in front of them. To kill Butterfly at that moment would be to upset Sophie.

Grabbing a machine gun, he fired a barrage of bullets at the approaching helicopter to keep it at bay.

Soon, their helicopter managed to break through the encirclement and fly back to the Sable residence.

When Javier saw that Sophie had arrived, he was lost for words, for there was truly nothing to say.

Hence, he remained upstairs instead of going down to welcome them. Given his strained relationship with Sophie, it would be awkward to see her face to face.

“Sophie, I hope you don't mind resting here. It's much safer here compared to the ongoing chaos outside.”

Nicholas had assumed his place was absolutely safe until the terrorists disregarded his family crest and attacked their helicopter. Only then did he take on a humbler tone.

“Mm-hmm.”

Sophie didn't mind taking a break there.

“Tristan, you're not welcome here. Now that you're safe, you can go.”

Nicholas was naturally jealous of his romantic rival and found him to be an eyesore.

“I'll be by Sophie's side wherever she is,” Tristan snapped, ignoring Nicholas' show of displeasure. He can fume all he wants, but it has nothing to do with me.

“Tristan, we're in my territory, so—”

“So what if it is?” Do you think I'm afraid?

“Nicholas, if you don't like us being here, we can leave. I'm in no mood to listen to your meaningless complaints.”

It's not like we have no choice but to be here.

Nicholas scratched his nose awkwardly as he protested, “Why do you have to keep scolding me, Sophie? What have I done wrong? I have just risked my life to rescue all of you!”

He felt aggrieved by her attitude.

Didn't I promise her that I'll see a psychologist? She had agreed to give me a chance in return. So why does she keep treating me this way?

Butterfly nodded as she protested on Nicholas' behalf, “Nicholas insisted on rescuing you despite being wounded, Sophie. Why don't you just let it slide?”

It was clear to Butterfly that Nicholas' feelings for Sophie were so strong that he was willing to sacrifice his life for her.

Meanwhile, Richard sent someone over with food.

After gathering around, the famished Arius wolfed down his food while Tristan barely touched it.

The sight of Nicholas had caused him to lose his appetite.

“What's wrong? Do you not like the food?” Sophie inquired when she noticed him fiddling with his food.

Since they were in Nicholas' territory, they had no choice but to make do.

“I'm not really hungry,” Tristan flatly replied.

Sophie held his hand as she reassured him, “We won't stay here too long and will be leaving soon.”

Cognizant that he was uncomfortable staying at Nicholas' place, she had no choice but to comfort him.

“I'm fine. I'm not that petty. Besides, as I'm the person who has your affection, I have already won.” The more reason for me not to be angry.

Sophie broke into a smile as she remarked, “I'm glad to hear that.”

Although she saw the matter as a trivial one, she still had to take his feelings into consideration.

After the meal, Nicholas assigned them their rooms so that they could shower and change.

All of them subsequently went off to wash up, as they could no longer bear the stench on their bodies after the long day.

Sophie, too, didn't think too much about it. She subsequently emerged after taking a bath and getting a fresh change of clothes.

Well aware that Javier was in the mansion, she took the initiative to see him.

Javier, expecting the visit, didn't stop her from visiting.

“I didn't expect you to have the gall to show your face here,” Javier snapped, for she was the person who killed Alex.

In her amusement, Sophie retorted, “Why wouldn't I? Am I a coward in your eyes?”

Alex died because he deserved it.

“Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?” Javier whipped out a gun and pointed it right between her eyes.

“You wouldn't dare!”

He doesn't have the courage to do it with Tristan and Nicholas in the mansion.

“You really are confident in yourself.”

Javier resented Sophie's attitude, for it made him feel like he was predictable and that he was powerless against her.

“In that case, what are you doing here? Are you here just to challenge my authority?” I don't think she's that silly.

“No. I just want to inform you that Nicholas has agreed to see a psychologist. I feel that you should find him a good one.”

Being obsessive is a form of mental illness, and Nicholas' condition is extremely grave. If he doesn't get treatment soon, the consequences will be unpredictable.

“All right. I understand,” Javier concurred as he, too, had hoped for the same.

Now that his son had agreed to it, he would naturally make the arrangements.

“There's nothing else I have to say other than remind you that you owe me.”

Nicholas isn't someone who would listen to just about anybody.

“Do you think Nicholas would've turned out that way if it wasn't for you? Isn't it too much to expect me to thank you?”

“I disagree. I have never come onto your son. It was he who pursued me of his own volition,” Sophie asserted.

Her confidence was built on the truth. After all, she clearly had no hand in how Nicholas turned out.
