Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Protecting What She Wants To Protect

Even though he hoped that he would be able to head there with her, he decided not to press on since she said nothing.

Sophie knew that Tristan wanted to go with her, but Arius was no ordinary person. Without Arius’ permission, no one, including Sophie, could reveal his location to anyone else.

“Mr. Tristan, you can send her there.” Why let a young woman like her take a cab to who-knows-where so late at night?

Tristan shot him a look in response. Do I look like I needed you to prompt me to do that? It’s only because Sophie doesn’t want me to do it. That’s what I mind the most.

Right then, Ysabelle came out and saw Felix and her uncle.

“Are you all here to pick me up?” Clearly, Tristan was not. But where’s Sophie? Did they not come across her?

“Send her home safely, and don’t let her linger around outside,” was all Tristan said to Felix before getting into the car, ready to head to Wisteria Apartments and wait for Sophie there.

Ysabelle then turned to Felix and scoffed at the man. She did not forget that they were both giving each other the cold shoulder. Moreover, she had tried to initiate reconciliation, but he ignored her completely.

“Ysabelle, I was the one who uploaded the video. Sorry.” Felix was overwhelmed with guilt. All he wanted was to help her out, but his action ended up trapping her in a situation like this.

Ysabelle scoffed again.

“Oh,” she flatly said as if she was completely unfazed by the matter. “Is there something else you want to talk about? If not, it’s time for me to head home. My dad has given me a curfew.”

Felix pursed his lips, feeling helpless. I think I’ve really made a mistake.

“Belle, I really didn’t mean to be so distant toward you. I just didn’t know how to face you.”

“Is that so? So, you know how to face me now?”

Felix was silent.

“If you don’t, you might as well just give up. It’s the best outcome for all of us.” Then, without giving him a chance to respond, Ysabelle turned and got into the Lombard family’s car.

Felix remained rooted to his spot, thinking, Maybe I’m really in the wrong. Perhaps we’re not suitable for each other. Relationships can’t be forced, and it’s time for me to sober up.

Meanwhile, Sophie had taken a cab to Cloud Nine Hotel, where Arius was waiting for her.

It only took Sophie a knock on the door before Arius opened it. He was wearing a white top with the two top buttons undone and a pair of black slacks.

In those clothes, he looked like an intellectual, but there was also a tinge of slyness in his witty eyes.

“Dress yourself properly,” Sophie huffed.

“What’s wrong? I’ve already dressed decently, but you’re still unhappy with my attire? If not for you, I wouldn’t have even worn a shirt. Moreover, don’t you know that many girls love the sight of my figure? You’re full of complaints despite getting a free show. Don’t you think that you’re too much?”

Sophie was silent, pondering where he was getting his confidence from.

Dressed properly? You’re giving me the urge to wash my eyes with bleach.

A beat later, Arius had no choice but to button up his shirt.

“I’d say you must have really low self-esteem. You’re scared that you’d fall for my beauty, and that’s why you’re so picky with my clothes.”

Sophie did not know how to reply to that. He’s so full of himself. I might as well let him wallow in his self-delusion.

Arius then asked Sophie to take a seat on the couch before he filled a glass of warm water for her.

“Here’s the thing. The medical association is about to have a medical summit in a few days, so I have to rush back to attend it. Therefore, I will have to perform your grandpa’s surgery before I go back. Is that fine with you?” Arius said without beating around the bush, knowing that Sophie was a busy young woman.
