Never Let You Off
“All right! Let’s head in!”
Ysabelle and Sophie found Xandra in the bedroom. Her skin was littered with hickeys, and she had a fever.
“Oh my gosh! Sophie, did Xandra get into trouble with a bad person? If not, why does she look like this?”
Sophie left the bedroom to look for fever medicine in Xandra’s house. When she found it, she hurried back and fed the medicine to Xandra before helping her to drink water.
Ysabelle said nothing more when she saw how calm Sophie was. She stood in a corner and waited patiently until Sophie was done.
Then, the two of them went to the living room. Sophie called The Crown for food delivery before she and Ysabelle sat on the couch to scroll through their phones.
Ysabelle was scrolling and reading through the news about Fandar. Despite not calling Felix, she still wanted to know the situation at Fandar and how he was doing. She wanted to make sure he was all right.
Sophie received a call from Tristan. She stood up and went to the balcony to answer the call.
Tristan bombarded her with a series of questions when the call got through. “Didn’t we agree to meet for lunch? Where are you? I’ve been waiting for you at Lombard Group. Do you know what time it is? Did you forget about me?”
Sophie felt guilty. She had indeed forgotten about him and their lunch appointment. “I’m at Xandra’s place. She’s running a fever, so I came to take care of her. Have you eaten? If you haven’t, do you want me to order food delivery for you?”
“What does her being sick have anything to do with you? Just give Lucas a call and let him know about it,” Tristan voiced his disappointment. How can she ignore me for those unimportant people?
“Xandra doesn’t want anything to do with Lucas anymore.” Sophie sighed. “All right, stop whining. I’ll go to Lombard Group to look for you later.”
Tristan huffed and said, “Fine. Help me to order food delivery, but make sure to order something I like, okay?” Sophie was surprised by Tristan’s reply. Is he giving me a chance to make it up to him?
“Okay, I’ll order something you like and have them deliver it to you. What do you like to eat?”
“Well, aren’t you an unqualified fiancée? Don’t you even know what I like? How unbelievable! I’m going to punish you!”
“How do you want to punish me?” Sophie asked. Her curiosity was piqued.
“I haven’t thought about it. We’ll talk about this tonight!”
“Fine. I’ll hang up now and order food for you. You must finish everything, okay?”
“Okay.
After hanging up, Tristan still felt displeased. He immediately dialed Lucas’ number and exclaimed. “Your woman is running a fever! If you have nothing else better to do, you better go take care of her yourself! Don’t take up my woman’s time!”
He hung up after saying what he wanted to say without waiting for a response from Lucas.
Meanwhile, The Crown had delivered Sophie and Ysabelle’s food. After they ate, Sophie went into the bedroom to check on Xandra.
Xandra’s fever slowly subsided. It was five in the afternoon when she finally woke up. She got up and left the bedroom, jumping in surprise when she saw the two young women playing games in her living room.
“What the heck? How did the two of you get in? I don’t remember opening the door for you!” Xandra asked in confusion.
“We were worried, so we came to visit you. Xandra, did you encounter a pervert? Those marks on your body look scary!” Ysabelle was so focused on talking to Xandra that she got careless and had her character in the game killed off.
“Sophie, he killed me. You must avenge me!”
“I’m fine,” Xandra muttered as she pulled her clothes tighter around her body. Lucas is such a beast! Jeez… He’s indeed a pervert! Before we got a divorce, he never had any sexual urges toward me. Now that we’re separated, he’s being aggressive. Who does he take me for?
“Xandra, we ordered you some chicken noodle soup. Come and have some. Ysabelle and I already ate. The rest is yours. Oh, right. I know an excellent lawyer. If you need help, I can introduce him to you,” Sophie informed. Those marks on her body must’ve been Lucas’ work. That guy is insatiable!
“Ahem.” Xandra cleared her throat. I don’t think such a thing requires a lawyer. “It’s all right. I can handle my own affairs. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“Oh, is that so? All right, then. If you need it in the future, you can contact me anytime.”
