Anything For Her

Chapter 470

“Wrong number,” Sophie replied, lying through her teeth.

Nicholas doesn't know when to give up, does he? Or perhaps he didn't learn his lesson from last time?

Tristan had a feeling that she was not telling the truth.

However, he decided not to probe further this time. If Sophie refused to answer him, he would not ask any more questions.

Sophie stared at his back as guilt filled her heart.

There was nothing between her and Nicholas. She did not tell Tristan because she did not want him to worry.

However, he seemed down in the dumps because of the call.

“Are you all right?” Sophie asked tentatively. She did not wish for Tristan to get angry or upset.

After returning from the hot spring resort, Sophie immediately called Nicholas.

Nicholas' lips curled up into a smirk when he saw the familiar number.

“Sophie, aren't you being too mean? If I don't call you, you'll never call me first, won't you? Are you going to forget about me?”

Having not heard Sophie's voice for so long, he truly missed her.

“I miss you so much. Should I come to Jipsdale to visit you?”

Nicholas seemed to have forgotten about what had happened in the past. Like someone who had been parted from his lover for a long time, he wanted to fly over to her side.

“Nicholas, haven't you learned your lesson? I've warned you to stay out of my life. I will never like you.”

“Why not? I met you first. How could you fall in love with someone else? Do you know you're breaking my heart?” Nicholas uttered hysterically.

I was the one who met her first. How can another man steal her heart before I do?

“Nicholas, are you certain you're not sick in the head? If you are, you can go to the hospital. Stop spouting nonsense at me!” Sophie raged. Nicholas was an important person. She could not afford to get rid of him.

However, her patience had long run out after she was being pestered by him for so long.

“You're right. I'm indeed sick. I'm suffering from lovesickness. Ever since you left, I've been thinking about you every day.”

Sophie was rendered speechless by his absurd reply.

She took a deep breath, and only then did she manage to suppress the urge to hurl the phone.

“Nicholas, just give up on your one-sided feeling. If you don't want to push this to the point of no return, you better stay out of my life.”

If the situation continued, one of them was bound to die.

“Sophie, are you threatening me now? You know very well that I don't like being threatened by others.” Why does she have to be so cruel to me? “I can give you whatever you want if you return to my side. I mean it. Otherwise, I'll never let you go even if I have to take you down.”

Nicholas was utterly obsessed with Sophie. He could not bear to let her go to another man.

Sophie did not feel the need to continue the conversation.

No matter what I say, he will never listen to me. In that case, I will just let him be. At worst, we'll come to blows. Let's see who will have the last laugh!

After hanging up the phone, Sophie turned on her computer and changed her number. This new phone number was tied to someone else's ID card.

She did not want to hear Nicholas' voice anymore.

Meanwhile, Felix and the others could only shake their heads when they saw Tristan drowning his sorrows.

“Mr. Tristan, what are you doing? Did you break up with Sophie?” That's the only reason he would behave like this.

Hearing that, Tristan shot him a death glare.

Felix rubbed his nose awkwardly. “Since you two are still together, why are you drinking so much? You know that drowning your sorrows doesn't work, right?”

“Felix, keep your mouth shut if you don't know how to console him. Just drink with him instead,” Sean said.

“I agree!” Charles chimed in. It's just drinking. It's not like we'll die from drinking. What's there to be afraid of?

Felix shook his head and said, “You guys are insane. Very well, then. Since everyone here is crazy, it's pointless for me to stay sane alone. Let's drink together.”

The four of them were all intelligent people. It had been a long time since they had drunk like this.

After having too much to drink, Felix began to talk nonsense. “Listen to me, Mr. Tristan. If a woman is disobedient, you have to punish her. If you don't teach her a lesson, she will start dominating you from now on.”

“Punish her? I can't bear to do that to her,” Tristan replied. How could I punish her?

Charles could not help but interject, “You can just pounce on her. She'll behave herself afterward.”

That was the way to do it, or so he thought.

Sean was at a loss for words.

“I still can't bear to do that,” Tristan uttered.

“Mr. Tristan, you weren't a softie before. What happened to you? You can't even bear to scold or punish her. How will you control her in the future? Where's your authority as a man?” Felix began again after downing a few more drinks.

In his opinion, a man had to protect his status and power in the family.

“If that's what you think, I'm scared to leave Ysabelle in your hands!”

What kind of old-fashioned view is that? A man should dote on his wife instead of beating or scolding her.
