Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 864

Chapter 864 Ill Intentions

“Why? Is it because of Arius?”

“Not really. Even though I fancy him, I'm not going to give up my job over something like that.” Georgina tried hard to maintain the nonchalant expression on her face. “As you're well aware, my parents are worried about me living alone in Jipsdale. They feel that I should look for someone reliable to take care of me if I want to continue staying here.”

She could understand where her parents were coming from. Jipsdale was a big city filled with all sorts of characters who made her parents worry.

“What do you mean?”

“My parents have planned to matchmake me with someone, and I need to make a trip back home.” The man her parents approved of was from her hometown. Thus, they hoped that she would come back to meet him.

Since she was single, she didn't mind going along with her parents' plan.

“What if you hit it off? Does it mean that you're not coming back?” Sophie still hoped that Georgina could manage the medical association.

“Perhaps. I do feel lonely here sometimes. Now that my parents are advanced in age, I shouldn't let them worry about me.” The big city does make me feel the need to have someone. Who knows, having a boyfriend and starting a family might be what's best for me.

“Fine. Don't overthink it for now. Just treat this as a holiday. Go home and see whoever you need to, and come back whenever you feel like it.” Sophie, empathizing with her friend, was extremely supportive.

Her response caused Georgina to give her a hug.

“Thank you, Sophie.” To be able to work at the medical association was indeed a huge stepping stone in her career. “I might not ever come back, so I just want to thank you for all that you've done for me.”

Tears began to well up in Georgina's eyes.

She was never one to be sentimental, but the thought of her living in a different city and leaving everything here behind still saddened her.

“Georgina, don't give yourself too much pressure. Regardless of what happens, you have my support. All that matters is that you find happiness.”

“Yeah!”

Georgina packed and left for her hometown that very day. Arius only found out about it when he sought her out the next day.

He had no idea where she went and felt as if a large part of his heart went missing upon learning of her departure.

It was a sensation that he had never felt before. Without a moment's hesitation, he went to the lab to see Sophie, who coincidentally had business there.

Sophie stopped what she was doing the moment she saw him.

“What do you want? Whatever it is, get straight to the point.” I'm really busy now!

“Is Georgina on leave?” Arius inquired. “Is something wrong? She has never taken a day off ever since she started working here.” Something must have happened.

“Why do you care so much when you're not interested in her?” Since you have no feelings for her. You should keep your distance to prevent her from getting the wrong idea.

Arius grabbed his hair in frustration as he snapped, “I just want to know where she went!”

It wasn't until Sophie stared at him in silence that Arius realized he had lost his composure.

“I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. I just don't want any harm to come to her as she's now an employee of the medical association.” Arius cooked up an excuse.

“Is that so? In that case, there's nothing for you to worry about. Georgina has gone back to her hometown to be matchmade and will probably get married.”

Matchmade? Doesn't she have feelings for me? Why is she attending a matchmaking session?

“Since you don't fancy her, she might as well find a man who does and get married. Going forward, there'll be nothing left between the two of you.”

Isn't it great?

“D*mn it, doesn't she have feelings for me? Why did she change her mind so quickly?” Arius couldn't help but swear.

“Since you're not keen, how can you expect her to wait for something that will never happen?” Sophie responded without mincing her words.

Men are always like that. They never appreciate a girl's feelings when it's there, yet they feel indignant when it's gone.

“Fine, I get it. Matchmaking will do her some good.” Arius didn't understand why he felt a sudden squeeze in his heart.

Since Georgina has made her choice, there's nothing I can say about it.

Nevertheless, he couldn't concentrate the entire day at work.

When Barney saw how distracted he was, he kicked Arius out of the lab in exasperation.

“Look at the condition you're in. Just get some rest and stop wasting time here!” He shouldn't be conducting experiments if he isn't feeling good.

After being chased out, Arius ran into Sophie on her way home.

He hurried up to her and asked, “Do you know where Georgina's home is?”

“I do. Why? What are you planning to do? Let me warn you, Arius. You had better not see her if you're not interested in her.”

Georgina was devastated when she left.

“Fine. Can you now tell me where it is?”

“Why should I?” Sophie wasn't going to make it easy for him.

“I'm going to see her!” That should do, right?

Sophie laughed out loud.

“What are you laughing about? Do you know it or not?” Sophie can find out anything with her computer skills, which is why I came to her.

“I'll send it to your phone in a while. If you're interested in her, pursue her. Otherwise, you won't get the chance once she's married.”

The moment she finished, Sophie walked off to Tristan's car. She was still wearing the same smile on her face when she opened the door.

Her delighted expression sparked Tristan's curiosity. “What happened? Why do you look so happy today?”

“Something rare yet wonderful is about to happen.” All these years, I have been the only girl by Arius' side, and he has never had a girlfriend before. That's why he doesn't know how to talk to a girl. But this time, he is left with no choice.

“Arius?” Tristan knew Sophie like the back of his hand. He could quickly tell from a casual comment of hers what was going on.

“Yup. Georgina has gone back to her hometown to be matchmade, finally making him anxious.” Do men always need to be shocked into action?

“Give Georgina a call and tell her to ignore him.”

“Why?”

“He won't learn how to appreciate her if he succeeds too easily. She should play hard to get for a while.”

“Are you feeling indignant on Georgina's behalf, or do you just enjoy watching Arius suffer?” Sophie tilted her head to give him a curious look.

“Both, actually.”

Tristan didn't hide his ill intentions at all.

With that, Sophie opened an app on her phone and found Georgina's hometown address with the latter's ID number. Upon obtaining it, she sent it to Arius.
