Pursuing Her Chapter 134

Chapter 134 Going To A Hotel With Another Man

Arius and Sophie went to the most popular barbecue restaurant in Jipsdale.Arius had missed

everything about Jipsdale since he had been away for quite a long period of time.The barbecue

shop was extremely famous. It was frequently visited by the rich and famous.If it was not for a

contact of Arius, he would not be able to get a private room to dine in.While he was reading the

menu, Sophie was playing games on her phone nonchalantly.”We haven't seen each other for ages.

Is that the right attitude for welcoming me home? By ignoring me completely?” he grumbled. Even

when we were far apart, I have always been missing her in Anglandur. Look at her! I bet she has

totally forgotten about my existence. How heartless!“What do you mean? Am I not having a meal

with you the moment I know that you're back? Do you know how many people in Jipsdale could

only dream about having this honor?” Sophie disagreed.Instinctively, Arius twitched the corner of

his lip and snapped, “Don’t you think that I don’t know the only reason you're being nice to me is

because Old Mr. Tanner is unwell.” He came back from abroad several times and went all the way to

Horington to see her, but she gave him the cold shoulder.”Is everything okay with you, Sophie?” No

matter what happened between them, he was most worried about her health.”Absolutely! I couldn't

be any better. Can't you tell? The world still needs to tolerate a troublemaker like me for at least a

thousand years,” she replied casually."Sophie, I disliked the way you described yourself. How could

you say that you're a troublemaker? You're the rare gem of Chanaea, do you know that? There's

hardly a handful of people like you in this world!”A few foreign universities had been inquiring

about her and contacted her multiple times, but Sophie remained unfazed.Moments later, the

waiter served the dishes. Sophie had only a few mouthfuls before focusing on her phone again.

Ysabelle sent her a couple of voice messages, and she switched them all to texts for conveniences

sake.”l see that you don't have a good appetite. Why don’t you come over to the hospital tomorrow

and get yourself a thorough check-up?” Arius stared at her with concern.During those years she

spent in Horington, she had acquired many skills and attained a lot of things. At the same time, her

health was also compromised.”I'm fine, so I don't need a check-up. I know my condition very

well.” The priority now is Grandpa. Everything else doesn't really matter.Arius looked at her

disapprovingly.”“Why don't you listen to me, Sophie? I know you're in the pink of health, but your

appetite is bad. Isn't this a recurring issue?” He did not come back often. This time, he was not

planning on giving up persuading her.Sophie furrowed her brows and repeated, “I said I'm fine."l

can single-handedly defeat more than ten mercenaries at any one time. What problem can my body

have?“Listen to me, won't you? Or else, don't blame me for taking you home forcefully.” Arius

regretted his decision to bring her to the training camp back then."Dream on! Do you think that I

will follow you home so easily? No one can make me do anything I refuse to do,” she declared

confidently.Well, well, well... What should I do with you, Sophie?” know there's no way I can change

your mind. Anyhow, that's your body. You ought to love yourself more.” I can't imagine what would

happen to her next if she continues to live like this.”All right, I got it. I know that you care. Come on,

dig in! Didn't you say that you've missed this barbecue terribly?"Arius knew that she would turn a

deaf ear to him. As such, he could only let her be.Is there no one else on earth who could control

this young lady?He truly hoped that there was someone else whom she feared, even if it involved

another man.After the meal, Sophie walked Arius back to Cloud Nine Hotel where she ran into

Winter.Seeing that Sophie was entering the hotel with another man, Winter smiled scornfully.She is

going into the hotel with a man when the sun is still out? What a slut!The two ladies’ met each

other's eyes. Sophie chuckled when she saw the expression on Winter's face. Why does this woman

keep showing up everywhere?Arius saw Winter too. Why does she keep staring at Sophie like

that?“Who's that?” Arius was dying to find out about the woman's identity because she kept

scrutinizing them.”A nobody.” Sophie could not be bothered.”Really? From the way she looks at you,

I don't think she’s someone irrelevant. Perhaps... your love enemy?“Darn it, Arius! “Love enemy? Are

you kidding me? She doesn't stand a chance to be one.” Although Winter kept showing up in front

of her, Sophie had never taken her seriously.”Let's go. Aren't you tired after a long plane ride? Why

are you so interested in that lady? Are you infatuated with her? Shall I introduce her to you then?”

Sophie seldom showed her cheeky and chatty side, unless she was with a close friend.“What makes

you think that she’s up to my standards?” Arius withdrew his gaze from Winter. When the latter saw

Sophie walking into the elevator with a man, she smiled delightfully. Why would Mr. Tristan fall for

such a promiscuous girl? This is going to be interesting."Who's that, Ms. Quigley?” the girl standing

next to Winter asked, upon noticing her eyes were fixated on Sophie. “She's not as pretty as

you."Hearing that, Winter's smile grew wider."Who is she to be my match?” The arrogant Winter

always thought that she was a class above the rest, especially when it concerned Sophie.”Exactly! Is

there anyone in Jipsdale who can be mentioned on equal terms with you? Only Mr. Tristan is worthy

of you."Then, Winter quickly gave Charles a call."Charles, where are you guys now? I need to see you

urgently.” Winter could not wait for another second to reveal the juicy news to

Tristan.Coincidentally, Charles was with Tristan when his sister called.There were three of them

accompanying Tristan that night. However, none of them knew why the latter remained silent

throughout.”If it's not something important, let's talk about it tomorrow.” With Mr. Tristan being in a

terrible mood, the night isn't going to end well if someone accidentally steps on his toe. What if

Winter raised a ruckus and offended him unknowingly? I'd definitely not know how to pick up the

mess, especially when she likes him so much."Charles, I swear it's something super important!”

Winter insisted.”Fine. We're at Nocturnal. You can come over now."Charles’ plan was to meet Winter

outside of the bar, to be safe.Unfortunately, things turned out the opposite of what he had

anticipated. When Winter arrived at Nocturnal, she headed directly to the private room.Charles

nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw her sister.”You're here for me, right? Let's talk outside.”

He grabbed her hand and started dragging her outside with trepidation."What's the matter with

you, Charles?” Winter refused to leave the room. She strode forward and took a seat on the

couch. Why is Mr. Tristan acting weird? Has he already found out about it?
