Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 807

Chapter 807 Only Worried

“Come on. I've made arrangements for it already. I'm sure you're hungry since you just got off the plane,” Nicholas gently said.

At the thought of Butterfly, Sophie nodded and agreed to it. After all, it was just a meal.

“I'll come with you,” Tristan said. There was no way he was going to let her have a meal with Nicholas alone.

“Me too.” Like Tristan, Arius did not want Sophie to go alone. They were up against the lunatic Nicholas, and they were not going to watch Sophie enter the wolf's den by herself.

Nicholas was speechless.

What is wrong with them? Why are they so adamant about being the third wheels? Is it exciting for them?

“But I don't want to eat with you. Seeing you makes me lose my appetite,” Nicholas bluntly told them.

Then, he walked over to open the car door before inviting Sophie into the car.

Arius took a deep breath.

“Who do you think you are, Nicholas? Do you think we can stand the sight of you too?”

Meanwhile, Tristan was close to lunging over and breaking Nicholas' neck there and then.

Nevertheless, the thought of the captive Butterfly halted him from executing his plan.

“Don't worry. He wouldn't dare to do anything to me even if I'm going there alone.”

Sophie had a gun. If Nicholas were to do something foolish, she was going to whip it out and shoot him dead.

“Okay.”

If they were in a different situation, Tristan would not have agreed to it. Alas, Butterfly was someone important to Sophie.

Before they found Butterfly, he could not do anything impulsive.

Tristan did not want Sophie to lose anyone important to her.

Once Sophie was in the car, Nicholas turned to give Tristan a taunting look. Wordlessly, he was saying, See? One day, Sophie will willingly come with me.

Even after Nicholas drove off, Tristan and Arius remained in their spots.

“Mr. Tristan, I'm surprised you were capable of enduring that,” Arius remarked, turning to Tristan. The latter had always been a swift and merciless man.

“I have no choice. Butterfly's important to Sophie.”

Therefore, what they had to do first was to look for Butterfly. That way, they would be able to do anything they wanted.

“You're right. Forget it. I'm not skilled in looking for people, so I'll leave this matter to you. Dr. Smith and I have to head to the International Medical Association right now. We can't waste any more time.”

“Okay, I understand. Go ahead first. Just leave the search for Butterfly to me,” Tristan agreed.

Arius patted his shoulder.

“Good luck.”

The words of encouragement were the only thing Arius could offer Tristan.

Meanwhile, Nicholas brought Sophie to a restaurant. The restaurant seemed like an upscale, elegant place, and it was a location perfect for conversing.

When they reached their table, Nicholas politely pulled out Sophie's chair for her, and she sat down on it.

It was only then Nicholas sat opposite her.

“How long has it been since the two of us had a meal together?” Every time he thought about how she had been with another man, he would feel the urge to scream in anger.

“Don't speak. I don't want to hear you talk. Let me have some quiet time,” Sophie bluntly said.

If she had been someone else, Nicholas would have killed her there and then. However, she was not—she was Sophie—so he could only smile at her.

“I know you don't like others forcing you to do things, but what can I do? It's not as if I'm trying to do anything to you. All I want is a meal with you, but you never gave me a chance to do that.”

If he had to be honest, he did not want to do this either.

“If you know that I don't like others pressuring me, then let Butterfly go. This is between us, and it has nothing to do with Butterfly,” Sophie muttered.

“If I let her go, you won't even agree to have a meal with me. Sophie, I'm not forcing you to do anything outrageous; I just want to eat with you. Can't I even do that?”

I'm not being over the top, am I? I'm just asking for a chance.

“What about this? I know you have things to do in Anglandur this time, so you won't be returning so soon. While you're here, you'll keep me company and give me a chance to court you. If you're still uninterested in me by the end of your stay, I'll let you go, and I won't harass you anymore.”

Nicholas always felt that he was just missing an opportunity to court Sophie.

If the two of them were by each other's side for a while, he was sure Sophie would change her mind about him.

He truly loved her, and he could change anything for her.

Sophie was quiet for a while.

Given the complexity of the mutated virus issue, it was true that she had no choice but to extend her stay in Anglandur.

“Fine, but no tricks from you.”

Furthermore, he was holding Butterfly captive, so Sophie could not reject him.

A smile finally manifested on Nicholas' lips.

“Be fairer to me, Sophie, won't you? All I want is an opportunity,” Nicholas uttered in a tranquil manner.

Sophie only stared at him.

She did not believe his words, for nothing that came out of his mouth was truthful.

She could hear him talk, but she would never listen to his words.

Sophie would be a fool to take his words to heart.

When the waiter served the dishes, Nicholas did his best to take care of her. It had been a long time since he had a peaceful meal with her, even if she was still wary and distrustful of him.

That did not matter. He was still delighted.

Richard could only shake his head at his employer's demeanor.

No matter how capable he was, he was as weak as the others upon seeing the love of his life.

Nicholas was an outstanding man, yet he humbled himself so much around Sophie.

“Do you want some red wine?” Nicholas happily asked, easily letting his guard down whenever he was with Sophie.

Sophie shook his head.

“You should know that I'm not only here for Butterfly,” she coldly uttered.

The virus issue was a crucial matter to resolve.

She was not only doing this for Anglandur. Now, the whole world was in the same boat. With globalization, people in other countries might not be able to avoid getting infected by the same mutated virus.

That was why she was in Anglandur.

Nicholas frowned.

“What do they have to do with us? The virus is potent, and there are many who have died. I'd say you better not join the research.”

A girl like her should be protecting herself instead of putting herself in such a perilous position. Sometimes, one has to be selfish.

However, Sophie ignored him. She was already there; it was impossible she would change her mind just because he said that.

Knowing that she would not heed his words, Nicholas muttered, “I'm just worried about you.”
