Chapter 888
Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)
Chapter 888 No Chance At All
âI know, but I still want to thank you. After all, you even got injured trying to save me back then.â She
was a person of principle, âAnyway, if you ever need help with anything. Iâll definitely be there for you as
long as itâs within my capabilities.â
âI want Sophie. Can you help me with that?â That was his only wish.
Butterfly blinked. This request is far beyond my capabilities. âNicholas, youâre just making things difficult
for me.â How am I in any position to control who Sophie likes?
Nicholas gulped a mouthful of alcohol. âIn that case, thereâs nothing you can help me with. I donât lack.
anything!â
Butterfly fell silent. Whatâs wrong with him? Iâm just trying to be nice. Does he have to behave like this?
âI really donât know what else to say to you.â Forget it. I wonât force myself since he doesnât need my
help anyway.
Nicholas felt discomfort churning within him, seeing Sophie sitting so close to Tristan even though they
werenât doing anything. How I wish she could sit quietly beside me in that manner. Is that too much to
ask?
âNicholas, thank you for your help in Anglandur. Weâre treating you to this meal today to express our
gratitude. I hope youâll enjoy it!â Sophie finally raised her wine glass.
No matter what, Nicholas did help them, so she should extend thanks to him.
âIâm willing to do anything for you as long as you need me to, even at the cost of my life!â Nicholas w
truly in love with Sophie.
Others couldnât help but glance at Tristan after hearing Nicholasâ reply. Why would Mr. Tristanâs woman
his help? Who does he think he is?
Tristan swept his gaze across Nicholas coldly.
âThatâs not necessary. I believe Tristan can provide me with everything I need.â There was no way
Sophieâ would let Tristan down. âNicholas, you really should stop trying to win my heart.â
Sophie genuinely didnât want Nicholas to continue wasting his time.
Nicholas suddenly felt that the delicious dishes before him werenât inviting anymore. Sophie has always
been like this, never giving me any hope.
Tristan was satisfied.
In fact, Sophie was already doing a good job, never giving anyone any false hope.
However, she was simply too outstanding, causing many people around her to be attracted to her. That
was just something beyond her control.
Everyone present could tell how pleased Tristan was. So what if Nicholas tries so hard? His efforts are
futile at the end of the day.
Love isnât an investment that guarantees equal returns.
Subsequently, Tristan stayed by Sophieâs side and attended to her needs.
Butterfly clicked her tongue.
When they were at the restroom, she couldnât help but ask, âSophie, is Mr. Tristan provoking Nicholas
on purpose? Arenât you afraid of going too far and causing Nicholas to flip out?â
âThat wonât happen. He knows where to draw the line. Tristan isnât an insensible person. He knows
what heâs doing.
Butterfly shook the water off her hands. âI canât believe you place so much faith in Mr. Tristanâ
Thatâs a given. Heâs the man I chose, and weâll be spending the rest of our lives together.â Since we are
going to be together for a lifetime, we must trust each other. Besides, Iâve never liked Nicholas in the
first place. Itâs his problem for being so interested in me. Iâve never led him on.
âIâm starting to feel a little sorry for Nicholas. Why does he like you so much?â Sophie is actually quite
heartless toward everyone.
Sophie was rendered speechless. âWell, I donât like Nicholas. Even so, are you suggesting I should
lead him on?â Thereâs no need to do that, no? If Iâm not interested in him. I should just be honest and
decisive with my feelings to avoid causing more harm to others.
âYouâre right. Youâre pretty, and whatever you say is right by me.â Love has always been a complicated
matter.
After finishing the meal, Nicholas stared at Sophie gloomily like a puppy that had just been abandoned.
âNicholas, Iâve already treated you to a meal and fulfilled your wish. Itâs time for you to go back.â âThis
doesnât count. What I wanted was to share a meal alone with you.â Nicholas riveted his eyes on her.
âThatâs impossible,â Tristan refused firmly. He would never agree to that.
âTristan, what do you mean by that? Iâm talking to Sophie now, What gives you the right to butt in?â
âAre you picking a fight with me? Fine by me!â This is a perfect opportunity. I havenât taken revenge
against him for what happened last time.
Nicholas clenched his fists and was silent for a few moments. âSure! Letâs fight if thatâs what you want. I
donât mind entertaining you.â Itâs not like I canât win, so why not?
Listening to their conversation, Butterfly almost burst out laughing. She didnât expect two men as
accomplished as them to act so childishly.
âThatâs enough. Itâs getting late. I should head home now.â Butterfly almost choked with laughter.
âOkay.â Sophie nodded.
Butterfly had her own matters to attend to, so she didnât have the time to accompany them in their
tomfoolery.
âTristan, letâs go.â Sophie grabbed Tristanâs arm. Canât he let this matter slide today? If he wants to
teach Nicholas a lesson, he should do it another day.
âAll right.â
Tristan was compliant. After Sophie tugged at his hand, he immediately followed her.
He would listen to everything Sophie said.
Nicholas was left alone in his spot. Grievances filled his eyes, but he could do nothing at that moment.
Thir feeling sucke
Richard noticed Nicholasâ pathetic state when he came to pick him up. He got out of the vehicle and
helped him open the car door. âBoss, letâs head back firstâ Regardless of what happened, he cant stay
here forever, right?
Nicholas nodded and got into the vehicle.
Taking in Nicholasâ demeanor, Richard figured he didnât enjoy the meal.
After getting into the car, Nicholas took out a cigarette from the pack and lit it up. Then, he opened the
window and started smoking-
âBoss, are you all right?â Richard was slightly unnerved. Although Nicholas had visited a psychiatrist,
the treatment wasnât that effective.
âIâm fine. I just donât understand why Sophie never gives me a chance. Sheâs so cruel to me, but sheâs
actually quite nice to her friends!â
âBoss, women are like that. They give their heart to the ones they love but are merciless to the ones
they donât.â Richard summarized.
âSo? Does that mean I have no chance at all?â Nicholas continued to dwell on that issue.
Richard was stumped.
He couldnât answer that question either. He had never been in a relationship, so he wasnât that familiar
with the complexity of womenâs emotions.
Nicholas felt melancholic. He was almost done putting on one cigarette. Still, he couldnât figure out an
answer.
