Chapter 743 Only One I Like
“Sophie, it's me!” Nicholas said the moment Sophie picked up. “Please come back to me. Otherwise, I don't know
what I might do!”
He did not want to hurt her, but he was unable to control his actions.
It was because he loved her too much that he couldn't help but want to possess her.
Sophie remained indifferent upon hearing Nicholas' words. He should not be wasting his love on her as she was not
interested in him at all and would never reciprocate his feelings.
“Nicholas, I will kill you!” Sophie said coldly.
“Sure. I'm willing to die by your hands, so let's meet! I want to see you no matter what.”
Nothing else mattered to Nicholas as long as he had Sophie by his side.
“Ha!” Sophie sneered, wondering if there was really a need for the man to go to such an extent for his unrequited
love.
“Sophie, you're not me. You wouldn't know how much I love you.”
“Nicholas, you're not me either. You wouldn't know how much I detest you. One thing I can tell you for sure is that
I'm very happy now, and I don't want anyone to disrupt my blissful life.”
Even if he liked her, it didn't mean that she had to return his feelings.
After all, she had never given him the wrong idea or led him on.
Sophie simply could not understand why Nicholas was so fixated on her when he could literally get any other
women he wanted.
Is it really worth it to sacrifice his pride and end up with nothing?
“So, are you coming? Or are you hiding from me because you're scared to meet me alone?” Nicholas was getting
increasingly obsessed as he stood in the howling wind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Reverse psychology doesn't work on me.” Sophie wanted to kill Nicholas, but she was well aware that she wouldn't
be his match in her current state.
Besides, as she loved Tristan, there was no way she would take such a risk.
“Sophie, you've changed. You've become such a different person after you got together with Tristan.”
If it was before, she would have confronted me without hesitation, but she's not even willing to meet me now.
“Whether or not I've changed, or whether it's for the better or for the worse is none of your business.” Sophie hung
up after saying that as she found it pointless to continue the conversation with Nicholas.
Nicholas smashed his phone on the ground. He was giving off a chilling aura that kept everyone at arm's length.
Passersby instinctively shifted to the side to avoid crossing paths with the man.
Nicholas remained rooted to the spot and lit another cigarette. He had been smoking so much that there were
numerous cigarette butts scattered by his feet.
Noticing that Sophie seemed rather disoriented after ending the call, Arius stopped what he was doing at once and
asked, “What's wrong? Was it Nicholas?”
Only Nicholas would have such an effect on her.
“Yeah. He's outside right now and wants to meet me.” There was nothing Sophie could hide from Arius.
“That guy is really too much! You've never provoked him. Why does he keep bothering you?”
Arius had the urge to murder Nicholas there and then.
“Why don't I go down and get rid of him?” Even though he was a doctor, it wouldn't be the first time he had killed
someone. As such, it was not a big deal to him.
Sophie let out a chuckle and said, “Just leave it to Tristan and me to handle. That's not the way a doctor should get
his hands stained with blood.”
Arius shrugged nonchalantly as he replied, “You know I don't care about such things. I'm willing to do anything to
protect you.”
In the midst of their conversation, Georgina entered the room with two lunchboxes.
“Sophie, I brought this from home. I cooked extra for lunch, so I packed some for the two of you as well.
Homecooked food is healthier than outside food.” Although Georgina seemed to be speaking to Sophie, her gaze
was fixed on Arius the entire time.
“Thanks.” Sophie accepted the lunchbox graciously.
It's not polite for me to reject it since she has already brought it all the way here. I have to be appreciative of her
kindness!
Unaware of Georgina's feelings toward him, Arius took over the lunchbox and said cluelessly, “Georgina, you're
really multi-talented. Not only are you an outstanding doctor, but you're also an amazing home cook as well.
Whoever marries you is a lucky man indeed!”
“Really?” A blush spread across Georgina's cheeks. She was in love with Arius. Even though she was aware of the
distance between them, she could not help but want to be close to him.
Ignoring the other two, Sophie sat at one side and opened her lunchbox.
The food looked both delicious and nutritious. It was obvious that Georgina had put a lot of effort into preparing the
meal.
“Dig in then! If you guys don't mind, I can do this more often. I love cooking anyway.”
“Georgina, your work at the medical association is tiring enough. You should get some rest when you're back at
home.”
Sophie did not want Georgina to waste her energy on packing lunch for them as Arius would not be easily moved by
that.
Besides, love was not transactional and had to arise naturally from within the depths of one's heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yup, I will. Don't worry, Sophie. I won't let it affect my work at the medical association,” Georgina clarified at once.
“That wasn't what I meant. I just don't want you to tire yourself out.” Sophie did not know how to get her point
across properly.
Georgina nodded and replied, “All right then! I shall get back to work.”
Georgina knew what Sophie was driving at, but she could not do anything about her feelings.
“What's the matter?” Arius asked while eating after noticing Sophie's expression.
Taking a pause, he continued, “Seriously though, I didn't expect Georgina to be able to cook so well.”
“Arius, having a face like yours should be a crime!” It was undeniable that the man was indeed extremely
handsome.
Arius lifted his fingers to touch his face and said narcissistically, “Why? Are you jealous of me too?”
“Jealous my foot! Can't you tell that Georgina is interested in you? If you don't have feelings for her, you shouldn't
be saying those things.” Giving a woman false hopes could destroy her.
Feeling speechless, Arius replied, “All right. Got it!”
Georgina was no doubt a good woman, but Arius was simply not attracted to her. Sometimes, he could not help but
worry that he would remain single forever.
There was no lack of women around him, but he did not seem to be interested in any of them.
When Sophie was halfway through her meal, Tristan called.
“I have sent some men to protect you for the next few days. You don't have to pay any attention to them. Just treat
them as invisible.”
Tristan had made that decision after some careful thought.
Naturally, Sophie knew what he was referring to. In actual fact, she was certain that those people from the Sable
family would not dare to hurt her. Moreover, she was more than capable of protecting herself.
However, in order to give Tristan peace of mind, she accepted his arrangement.
“Oh, by the way, Nicholas called me just now. He asked to meet me,” Sophie shared, not intending to hide anything
from Tristan.
