Slow Down
“No, that’s not what I mean,” Ysabelle quickly explained. “You’re our savior. If not for you, Felix would have…
The very thought of that still made Ysabelle’s heart skip a beat.
“Sophie, from this point onward, we’ll do anything you ask of us,” Ysabelle uttered firmly.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to be in the way of your intimate moment. I’m going for a walk as I’ve eaten too much earlier,” Sophie said.
The last time she had been at Fandar, it had been a hasty trip. She had not gotten the opportunity to shop.
Since Tristan had something to work on, she was going to shop alone. At the same time, she was going to check if Arthur and the others were done.
“Sophie, I’m serious. It’s really dangerous here, so you shouldn’t be running everywhere.” What if she encounters robbers here? This place is unsafe!
“It’s fine. You don’t need to worry about me. I’m familiar with the area.”
“All right. Be careful, then,” Ysabelle relented. She knew that Sophie was stubborn, and no one could convince her otherwise if she had already made up her mind.
“By the way, Felix still isn’t up for any vigorous activity, so do remember your limits,” was what Sophie said before turning to leave.
Ysabelle’s face turned bright red at that.
“Felix, what does Sophie mean? Am I such an animal? You’re already in this state, so how can I possibly…”
Wait a second, why does he look like he wants me to go wild?
“I don’t mind. Don’t listen to her. I’m fine and can totally go for three hundred rounds,” he earnestly said, eager to see her go unrestrained.
Ysabelle’s face turned even redder.
“Stop joking, Felix. You’re still hurt.”
“Does that mean that we can do it once I’m recovered?”
What? How am I supposed to answer that? This man… There are some things that should remain unspoken! It’s so embarrassing to hear it out loud.
Just as Sophie was about to head out, the guard stopped her.
“Ms. Tanner, where are you going? It’s dangerous outside, so you should stay put.”
Although they had already dealt with Kaarle, there were other forces around.
Even someone as capable as Felix had been captured. It’s best that a beautiful woman like Ms. Tanner stays here.
Otherwise, she’ll be in trouble
“I’m going out for a walk. You don’t need to worry about me.”
“Ms. Tanner, it really is dangerous outside. Why don’t you stay in here?” the guard persuaded, worried that Tristan would be angry.
Sophie frowned.
“Am I a prisoner?”
The guard shook his head immediately.
“I didn’t mean that, Ms. Tanner. I’m just worried about your safety. If you have to go out, please let me send a few men to come with you.”
Everyone knew that Sophie was Tristan’s girlfriend, so they would never dare to offend her. Moreover, he was only a guard; he had never seen how well Sophie could defend herself, so naturally, he was worried.
“No need. I don’t like others following me.” Sophie did not wish to make things difficult for Tristan’s subordinates either; all she wanted was a trip out.
However, the guard became even more anxious to watch Sophie leave.
“What do I do? How are we going to break the news to Mr. Tristan if anything happens to Ms. Tanner?”
“She should be fine, right? Maybe we should get someone to inform Mr. Tristan about this right away. It’s not as if we can stop Ms. Tanner from leaving if she insists,” another guard said. They were just guards, after all.
“Okay, stay here. I’ll go and inform him about the situation.”
