Chapter 74 Going Off The Deep End

Thinking that he might have dialed the wrong number, Tristan put his phone down and glanced atit.It's Sophie's phone number all right. Then, who's the man who answered the phone? Is it the manthis morning? So, she's been with him all this while?Something astringent welled within him. Verily,he was very much unfamiliar with such emotion.”Is Sophie there?” His voice was frightfully glacial asthough dripping ice.”I'm sorry, but she’s currently occupied. I'll have her phone you back when she’sfree.”Bailey hung up right after saying that.Sophie was totally focused as she conducted theexperiment, so she didn't bother asking who exactly phoned her.Meanwhile, Tristan’s expressionturned even darker.”Are you okay, Mr. Tristan?” Felix inquired cautiously.Why is he wearing such anexpression? He has been on the brink of blowing his top the whole of today, and he’s even moreterrifying now!Again, Tristan phoned Sophie. This time, it was Aaron who answered the call.”You'realready told that she's busy. Can't you understand that?"He loathed people calling when he wasconducting experiments. This time, he turned the phone off right away. Tristan wasdumbstruck.Noticing that the man was on the verge of going off the deep end, Felix didn’t evendare to breathe. Tristan’s expression was really intriguing since that was the first time someone daredto speak to him in such a manner."Who was it, Mr. Tristan? I'll go and end him!“Felix was truly afraid,for it was petrifying when the man lost his temper.”No, it's okay. Tristan’s voice was close to subzerotemperature. Felix cast a glance at Sean, who sat across from him.On the contrary, Sean was calmand unruffled as though it had nothing to do with him. But then again, that made sense consideringhis occupation.”You guys enjoy yourselves. I'm leaving first.” Getting to his feet, Tristan snagged hissuit jacket from the couch and draped it over his wrist before leaving.”Mr. Tristan..."Felix wanted topersuade him to stay, but he had already left.”It must be because of Sophie again! Truly, I've neverseen him so affected because of anyone in the past. Say, does love really have so much power oversomeone?” Charles couldn't help remarking.Finally, Sean lifted his head.”"Who knows when love issubjective? All right, seeing that Mr. Tristan has left, I'm leaving as well since I've still got a case onmy hands.”“You're leaving as well?"It's been really difficult for the four of us to gather recently!AfterTristan got into the car, the driver turned and queried, “Where are we going now, Mr. Tristan?"Hewas exceedingly cautious when he asked that question, for the murderous aura emanating off theman was simply too intense.He's been like this since he saw Ms. Tanner getting into the SWAT carthis morning, and now, it's even worse.”Jipsdale Premier High."When the driver drove over toJipsdale Premier High, Tristan didn't alight from the car, merely sitting in there.He phoned Sophieagain, but her phone was turned off."Please excuse me while I take a puff, Mr. Tristan.” Finding theatmosphere scary, the driver decided to make himself scarce.At that exact moment, Aaron steppedout of the gates of Jipsdale Premier High with Bailey and Sophie.“Let’s continue after dinner! There'sstill another experiment today.”"Mr. Elswick, there's still a long time before the physics competition.We really don't need to be in such a rush.”“The physics competition this time is a nationalcompetition, Bailey! If your performance in the physics competition this time is outstanding, you cango to Jipsdale University directly. As such, we must work hard now!"“I also think that there's stillmuch time left. Mr. Elswick, I've still got something else to do tonight, so I'll take a rain check ondinner.”As soon as Sophie came out, she caught sight of Tristan’s car."You're supposed to have aself-study session today anyway. What else do you have to do?"“Would you please give me somefreedom, Mr. Elswick? Don't worry. I won't embarrass you during the physics competition.”“Fine,then. Go, go!"Thereafter, Sophie walked toward Tristan's car.”Let's go! I'll bring you to dinner. Sophiehas taken off, so you can't do the same.” Aaron dragged Bailey along.While being dragged away,Bailey peered over his shoulder, curious to know the identity of the person in the car.When Tristansaw Sophie heading over, he swung open the car door from the inside.Sophie got into the car."Whyare you here?""No particular reason. What were you busy with today?"“Nothing! I just went toschool as usual!"Tristan said nothing.”What's wrong with you, Mr. Tristan?” Sophie sensedsomething amiss with the atmosphere.”Nothing’s wrong.” Disappointment flooded Tristan that shewas keeping secrets from him.l thought we could at least be honest with one another!“Where wereyou all planning to go originally?” he questioned.”Dinner. Mr. Elswick wanted to take us out fordinner."Us? Does that refer to her and the other guy?“I'll bring you out to dinner instead!"Tristanwound the car window down and instructed the driver to get back into the car. Willow had astomachache, so she planned to go home to rest. Unexpectedly, she spotted Tristan’s car.She was alltoo familiar with that car, for she recognized it as the car that often dropped Sophie off at

school. That was the first time she beheld the man’s face clearly.He was incredibly handsome andstriking. In fact, if he were to join the entertainment industry, he would definitely shoot tostardom.Wanting to take a photo, she took out her phone. Alas, Tristan swung his gaze at her.Shepromptly stilled, not daring to move a muscle.Sophie saw Willow as well, upon which a smirktugged at her lips.What rotten luck to always bump into her!“Step on it,” Tristan ordered the driverin the front.Willow stood there with the phone raised in her hand, but she didn’t dare press thecapture button.This morning, a SWAT car came to pick her up. Then, Bailey was all attentive to her atschool. And now, it's a man with an unknown identity. She's really good at seducing people!“I'll justwait and see how you ruin yourself, Sophie!"“That sister of yours seems rather dismal."That remarkhad Sophie stupefied.That doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!“Why is your phone turnedoff?” Ultimately, Tristan couldn't resist voicing that question.Sophie took out her phone and turnedit on straight away.”Il don't know. I didn’t notice that."Tristan had no response to that.The car droveto Blossom Garden.Sophie had heard of it in the past, but she hadn't had the opportunity to visit

it. The owner of Blossom Garden was a lovely middle-aged woman. As soon as she saw that Tristanbrought a guest, she came over to serve them personally.”You haven't been here in a while, Mr.Tristan. Are you taking your usual room?"“Yeah."The proprietress, Blossom, personally led Tristanand Sophie to a private room with a retro feel.From the window there, one could see the pavilionsin the courtyard. It was a stunning sight.”l don't think I've seen you before, miss. May I be so bold asto ask for your name?"“Sophie Tanner.”"Go and make the preparations, Ms. Blossom. Just get us theusual dishes. Tristan brought Sophie there so that he could be with her alone for a while.At that,Blossom flashed him a charming smile."You're replaceing me the third wheel here, aren't you, Mr.Tristan? Fine, fine, I'll leave then."With that, only Tristan and Sophie were left in the privateroom.Sophie took out her phone, for Danny sent her a WhatsApp message.Since we stepped intothe private room, she’s been on her phone. Am I not even as captivating as a phone?When Sophielifted her head, she saw Tristan staring at her intensely."What's the matter? Do you have somethingto say to me, Mr. Tristan?"She couldn't shake off the feeling that he seemed a tad hesitant wheneverhe looked at her that day.
