Pursuing Her Chapter 249

Chapter 249 The Secret Of Sophie As soon as the call was connected, Arius’ anxious voice drifted

out of the phone. “I heard that you're going to Horington?” Argh! Why is she just so disobedient?

Why is she going to Horington out of the blue? That man is already investigating Horington, yet she

wants to go there? Isn't she just offering herself up on a silver platter? “Yeah. What about it? Is there

a problem?” I'm just making a trip to Horington. Does he need to make such a huge fuss out of it?

“Let me tell you this solemnly, Sophie—that man never gave up looking for you.

You'd better behave. It's pretty safe to remain by Mr. Tristan's side,” Arius warned in exasperation. I

know she’s fearless because she’s highly capable, but this matter really isn't that simple! “All right.

Don't bother about this matter anymore. Why are you always concerning yourself with such trivial

matters when you're a good-looking young man?” Sophie grew impatient. This is nothing, so why is

he all frantic? “What? I'm serious, Sophie! Anything that has to do with your safety is no trivial

matter. Listen to me!” Gah! She never changes, forever carefree and nonchalant! This simply won't

do! “That's enough. I'm going to enter the train station, so we'll talk another time. Just worry about

yourself.” Not in the mood to yak with him further, Sophie hung up directly. In fact, she outright

turned off her phone to avoid having him continue hounding her.

Arius, on the other hand, phoned Sophie again. When he heard the familiar female mechanical voice

telling him that the number he had dialed was temporarily unavailable, the urge to seize Sophie and

skin her alive gripped him. Why is she just so worrisome? Does she not know the gravity of this

matter? Meanwhile, the man who had been looking for Sophie immediately set out from Anglandur

after receiving news that she was in Horington. “Are you really going personally, Boss?” his assistant

inquired hesitantly before he departed. “Yes.” How could I possibly not go when I've finally gotten

news of Sophie? “This time, I'll definitely capture her myself!” After I've done so, she can never leave

again! I'll never give her the chance to do so! “But Boss, it's too dangerous for you to go to Chanaea

right now.” Many people in Chanaea wanted to take his life, so it was undoubtedly irrational for him

to go back. “I can't be bothered about that anymore.”

As long as it was something to do with Sophie, he could never remain calm. “Boss!” “Okay, that's

enough. There's no use trying to dissuade me further. The plane is taking off soon!” Since the man

was secretly returning to the country, he didn't make a grand affair of things by using his private jet.

Instead, he took a commercial plane like everyone else. At the same time, Sophie had already

boarded the train. She bought a premier-class seat, so it was exceedingly spacious. After getting

onto the train, she took out her phone and started handling some of Wings of Light's matters

without noticing that the person sitting beside her was a man she hadn't seen for some time—

Eustace. Only when she had finally snapped out of her thoughts did she realize that it was Eustace

beside her. Behind them sat Danny and a few SWAT team members. Seeing that she had finally

finished her work, Danny exclaimed excitedly,

“I didn't expect to meet you here, Sophie!” They were pretty close as Danny sought Sophie's help

the instant the SWAT team encountered any problems. For that reason, Danny was particularly

enthusiastic to see Sophie. Faced with that bright smile on his juvenile face, Sophie merely replied

curtly, “Indeed, it's quite the coincidence.” “All right, sit down,” Eustace said to Danny, who was

standing up. Danny sat back down, but he still wanted to talk to Sophie. “Where are you going,

Sophie? Horington?” They were heading to Horington as well, and he had heard that she used to

study there. “Yeah.” “In that case, let's have lunch together after we arrive in Horington!” Danny

suggested earnestly. “I'm going there on business, so I might not be able to have lunch with you

all.” “Zip it, Danny! Captain Sheppard is upset!” Can't he be more tactful when Captain Sheppard has

finally gotten to meet her? How could Captain Sheppard have an opportunity if he’s yapping away

here? Finally, Danny realized that his captain was looking rather grim. He instantly made a zipping

motion across his mouth and went silent. At the sight of that, the middle-aged man beside him

couldn't help chortling. Young people nowadays are really something else. But Captain Sheppard is

almost thirty years old now, so it's time he gets himself a girlfriend when he’s such an outstanding

young man. Sophie is indeed pretty good. Besides, they're somewhat bound by fate since they

boarded the same train and bought adjacent seats. Isn't this destiny?

In truth, Sophie and Eustace overheard every single word of the conversation behind them.

Nonetheless, neither of them were perturbed by it. Eustace stole a peek at Sophie beside him. By

then, she had already turned off her laptop. She didn't seem as though she was inclined to start a

conversation either, acting even more aloof than him. In the end, he was still the one to break the

silence. “Is something the matter that you're going to Horington? Just say the word if you need any

help. We're also going to Horington this time.” Although we're going in an official capacity this time,

she has helped me several times, so I'll certainly help her without hesitation if she really needed it.

“It's okay. I don't have anything that requires your help when I'm only a high schooler, Captain

Sheppard.” Words eluded Eustace. That's true. I generally deal with major cases involving murder

and smuggling, so it's indeed inauspicious to require my help. “That wasn’t what I meant.” For the

very first time, he felt embarrassed. “Captain Sheppard, you're meant for great things, so go ahead

with your work.

There's no need to bother about me.” Sophie wore a faint smile on her face. In response, Eustace

nodded. He had always had the golden touch, never once failing at anything he did. However, he

had one weakness—he really didn't know how to interact with girls. It was a two-hour train ride.

Throughout it all, neither of them said anything. Sophie was busy on her laptop while Eustace

alternated his gaze out the window and at her. She seems to have a lot of secrets, but I couldn't find

anything about her. When someone existed, there must be some information on the person.

However, Sophie's background was too easily available. As such, it appears rather fake. Her

computer skills were better than his technicians, and she could even defuse bombs. Thus, he

couldn't help being curious about her. When the train pulled into the station, Sophie put her ultra-

thin laptop into her backpack. Shouldering it, she walked out with everyone else. While alighting

from the train, Eustace followed closely behind her and didn't allow anyone to jostle her. On the

whole, he was really gentlemanly.
