Pursuing Her

Chapter 833

CHAPTER 833 I WANT TO JOIN YOU

Richard came forward at once.

“Boss, the Sable family—”

A grim look descended upon Nicholas' face. I really want to be by Sophie's side. So what if she loves another? All that matters is that I can keep her safe!

The Sable family couldn't afford to lose its head, Nicholas, at a time like this.

“Nicholas, I remember what I promised you. Therefore, once you see the psychologist, I'll treat you to dinner.”

That was his reward for saving them this time.

In the end, Nicholas escorted them out reluctantly.

He had no idea if Sophie was telling the truth, as she had always been merciless to him.

Nevertheless, as the head of the Sable family, it was his responsibility to protect the family at a time when Anglandur had fallen into chaos.

“What about Butterfly—” Richard wanted to clarify if the hostage was allowed to leave.

“Let her go!”

With Butterfly at Sophie's side, there would be one more person to keep the latter safe, putting his mind at ease.

Subsequently, Richard didn't dare say another word considering the foul mood Nicholas was in.

The sight of Nicholas staying back to take charge of the Sable family elicited a sigh of relief from Javier.

“Son, I know I have failed you all these years. Once the crisis is over, I'll support you in whatever you want to do. I'm sure you'll be satisfied this way, won't you?” He was well aware of how much Nicholas liked Sophie, but current circumstances had tied their hands.

As for Nicholas, he was surprised to hear his father soften his stance for the very first time.

“All right. I'll go and see the psychologist. If I no longer have feelings for her once I'm cured, I won't see her anymore.”

However, if my feelings remain the same after treatment, no one is going to get in my way.

“Richard, stay close to him and keep him safe.” The situation in Anglandur was extremely dangerous due to the ongoing power struggle.

Nodding, Richard reassured Javier, “Don't worry, Old Mr. Sable. I'll definitely protect Mr. Sable.”

Nicholas was everything to Javier. There was no way he was going to allow any harm to come to the former.

The current chaos made Javier feel anxious because the virus incident would result in a massive reshuffle of power in Anglandur.

Amidst the upheaval, it was imperative for the Sable family to survive. Nicholas was their only hope now that Javier was too old to lead the family.

Once the group got into the car and traveled through Anglandur's streets, they could see different factions on it.

Hence, the general public stayed at home, as no one dared to step out into the streets.

They were worried about losing their lives if they weren't careful.

Consequently, the sight before Butterfly triggered a sigh from her.

“I never expected the mighty Anglandur to fall into such a state.” It was a truly unbelievable sight.

“That's right!”

Having spent many years living there, Arius had never seen such pandemonium within the country.

Once prosperity was gone, misery was all that was left.

Soon, their car arrived at Tristan's mansion, where they planned to stay the night before meeting with Barney.

“The terrorists are looking for you and Arius, but both of you will be safe here, as I have gathered

everyone available.”

If the terrorist were to attack us, we could also go all out to wipe them out.

“Hmm, why don't we get Anglandur's president to send troops over?”

The terrorists are a bunch of crazies. I don't want our men to suffer any unnecessary casualties.

“I've already gotten someone to get in touch with him, but he's in an equally precarious position right now.”

It wasn't going to be easy for Marcus to move his troops due to the tight spot he was in.

When Tristan looked reluctant to leave after she lay down on the bed, Sophie suggested, “You should get some rest. You've had a long day too.”

Contrary to her words, Tristan took off his clothes and climbed into bed with her.

“What are you doing?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Isn't he a principled man? Doesn't he feel uncomfortable lying here with me?

“I'm protecting you!”

He wasn't going to let her out of his sight during their time in Anglandur.

As long as he stayed by her side, they would be together even in death.

Sophie snuggled up to him as she said, “Was it a mistake for me to come here, Tristan? I have dragged you into this mess!”

Butterfly has now returned to our side, while anarchy reigns in Anglandur.

“It's no big deal. Regardless of your decision, I'll always be by your side. Your burden is mine to share. Come what may!”

He had never blamed her for anything.

“Hmm, Tristan, why are you so good to me?” He never fails to mesmerize me.

She then leaned in and gave his chin a bite.

“We'll go home once all this is over.” After this, I'll obey everything he says and not get involved in anymore sh*t.

“You don't have to account for me in your decisions. Just follow where your heart takes you. I'll always have your back.”

Sophie wrapped herself around him with all four limbs.

“What should I do? I don't know what else to say.” She was never particularly good with words.

Tristan sealed her lips with his as he murmured, “Don't say anything, then.”

All she needs to do is chase her dreams. I'll take care of everything else.

After a good night's sleep in the mansion, all of them recovered their strength. They subsequently gathered for breakfast the next morning.

“Butterfly, I have made arrangements for you to go home. It's not safe for you here.”

I can't go due to unfinished business, but Butterfly has to leave first.

Butterfly shook her head as she protested, “Sophie, how can I leave you here after all that we've been through? Let me stay. I promise not to be a burden to you.”

“I'm not worried about you being a burden. I just don't want you to be infected by the virus, as it will greatly complicate the situation.”

“Sophie...”

How can she do this?

“I want to stay, really. I'll bear the consequences of my decision, regardless of what they are, all right?”

I'm not a disloyal friend. There's no way I can abandon her at a time like this!

“Butterfly, you have to listen to me,” Sophie asserted impatiently.

In response to Butterfly's persistence, Arius interjected, “Let her stay, Sophie. We'll be safer with one more person around.”

When Sophie shot him a silent glance, Arius scratched his nose awkwardly.

Even if you order her to go home, it's not like she's going to listen. Keeping her by your side is certainly better than letting her roam all around the place.
