Trust Me This Once
“I don’t like such a possibility at all.”
Sophie promised that she’d never forget me, and it’s because I trust her that I’m allowing her to do this.
Sean handed Tristan a glass of red wine.
“Since you trust Sophie that much, rest for a while. All we can do right now is wait for her news.”
From the moment they made that decision, the only thing they could do was wait.
Taking the glass of red wine, Tristan took a sip of it.
“Okay.”
In truth, he detested such a decision. He would rather kill Nicholas and resolve the problem once and for all.
Meanwhile, Ysabelle had not eaten ever since she came over. Thus, Felix had someone deliver some food.
“Eat something. Your body won’t be able to take it if you starve yourself like this.”
“Thank you.”
Utter helplessness swamped Felix when he heard Ysabelle thanking him. Ugh! How did things come to this?
They were initially the closest people to each other, yet their relationship had soured right then. Verily, he could not accept it.
“Ysabelle, 1-
“Felix, I think I’ve already made things clear enough. Henceforth, we’ll only be ordinary friends.”
This time, Ysabelle was exceedingly firm. Since I’ve taken that step, everything shall remain as it is!
“Got it
Inwardly, Felix was beyond wretched. I really don’t understand why she must break up with me. Anyway, it doesn’t matter as long as she’s happy.
He then added, “All right, don’t worry. I will no longer bother you again in the future.” After saying that, he left.
At that moment, everyone was worried about Sophie. As such, he could not focus too much on Ysabelle.
When Ysabelle noticed that all of it was her favorite food, her nose stung. She knew that it had always been her who was willful all along.
However, she truly wanted to break up with the man this time.
More than ten hours had passed when Padma stepped out of the room, looking like death warmed over.
The instant Nicholas heard the click of the door opening, he rushed over.
“How did it go?” His palms were damp with cold sweat.
In response, Padma gave a dip of her head.
“As I’ve said, you can rest easy, considering my capabilities. Now, you’re the person she likes.”
Her assurance brought a smile to Nicholas’ face.
“Really? That’s great! Take Ms. Padma to her room to rest, Richard. See what she needs and satisfy her as much as possible.”
He immediately went into the room. Sophie was still unconscious, so he did not know whether Padma was telling him the truth.
At the sight of the woman on the bed, his heart skipped several beats.
“Don’t worry, Sophie! I’ll be good to you. I’ll treat you like a princess and make you the happiest woman in the world. I’ll never allow anyone to pick on you!”
So long as she loves me, I’m willing to give her anything she wants. That’s the only wish I have.
Two hours later, Sophie woke up. Nicholas stood in front of her, yet he did not dare utter a single word.
“What’s wrong with you?” Sophie was the first to speak.
When Nicholas saw that there was no longer any resentment toward him in her eyes, his heart started beating again.
“Who am I to you?” he could not help asking.
A frown marred Sophie’s countenance.
“Have you lost your mind. Nicholas? Who are you to me? Do you need me to answer that? Aren’t we going to get married soon?”
Words cluded Nicholas as surprise, delight, and excitement swept over him like a tidal wave.
He felt that everything he did had been worth it.
“I love you, Sophie!” he gushed emotionally.
