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. I'll definitely be there
for you as long as it's 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, you're 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, there's nothing you can help me with. I don't
lack. anything!â
Butterfly fell silent. What's wrong with him? I'm just trying to be nice. Does he have to behave like
this? âI really don't know what else to say to you.â Forget it. I won't force myself since he doesn't
need my help anyway.
Nicholas felt discomfort churning within him, seeing Sophie sitting so close to Tristan even though
they weren't 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. We're treating you to this meal today to express
our gratitude. I hope you'll enjoy it!" Sophie finally raised her wine glass.
No matter what, Nicholas did help them, so she should extend thanks to him.
âI'm 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 couldn't 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.
âThat's 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 didn't want Nicholas to continue wasting his time.
Nicholas suddenly felt that the delicious dishes before him weren't 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 isn't an investment that guarantees equal returns.
Subsequently, Tristan stayed by Sophie's side and attended to her needs.
Butterfly clicked her tongue.
When they were at the restroom, she couldn't help but ask, âSophie, is Mr. Tristan provoking
Nicholas on purpose? Aren't you afraid of going too far and causing Nicholas to flip out?â
âThat won't happen. He knows where to draw the line. Tristan isn't 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
That's a given. He's the man I chose, and we'll 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, I've never liked Nicholas
in the first place. It's his problem for being so interested in me. I've never led him on.
âI'm 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 don't like Nicholas. Even so, are you suggesting I should
lead him on?â There's no need to do that, no? If I'm not interested in him. I should just be honest
and decisive with my feelings to avoid causing more harm to others.
"You're right. You're 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, I've already treated you to a meal and fulfilled your wish. It's time for you to
go back.â âThis doesn't count. What I wanted was to share a meal alone with you.â Nicholas riveted
his eyes on her.
âThat's impossible,â Tristan refused firmly. He would never agree to that.
âTristan, what do you mean by that? I'm 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 haven't taken revenge
against him for what happened last time.
Nicholas clenched his fists and was silent for a few moments. âSure! Let's fight if that's what you
want. I donât mind entertaining you.â It's not like I cant win, so why not?
Listening to their conversation, Butterfly almost burst out laughing. She didn't expect two men as
accomplished as them to act so childishly.
âThat's enough. It's getting late. I should head home now.â Butterfly almost choked with laughter.
"Okay." Sophie nodded.
Butterfly had her own matters to attend to, so she didnât have the time to accompany them in their
tomfoolery.
âTristan, let's go.â Sophie grabbed Tristanâs arm. Can't 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, let's 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 didn't 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 wasn't that effective.
âI'm fine. I just don't understand why Sophie never gives me a chance. She's 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 don't.â Richard summarized.
"So? Does that mean I have no chance at all?" 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 wasn't that
familiar with the complexity of womenâs emotions.
Nicholas felt melancholic. He was almost done putting on one cigarette. Still, he couldn't figure out
an answer.
