Chapter 23: One problem gone, more to come
Soon, Sophie's "husband" came bursting from the door.
"Where's Sophie?"
Tristan asked directly to the point.
At first glance, one would think that he was elegant and warm.
But, the current him that appeared from the door contained a hint of sharpness.
One could easily tell that he was furious.
If it weren't for the gold rimmed glasses, most people would be afraid when they saw him. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Zac lit a cigarette and looked at him with deep eyes.
His tone was cool: "Mr.Tristan, right? Sophie used to go to a psychologist.But it seems that this is our first proper encounter, yes?.’
Tristan sneered, "I came to take my wife home.Isn't it a bit rude of you to take my wife away without saying a word?"
"Haha, then...by your words, shouldn't you be ruder? Taking someone's wife to be yours? Isn't this a bit ironic?’’ The smell of tobacco diffused faintly in the air.
In Zac's eyes, there is an unutterable danger.
"Oh wow...no words? Mr.Tristan? Aren't psychologists supposed to be good with words and mind games?"
"Zac, I don't think you are qualified to say this in front of me.First, Sophie is only your ex wife, and you already had a divorce.Second, if I hadn't known the Williams family's plan in advance, I'm afraid Sophie would have died in the fire long ago.Third, regarding Sophie she stopped loving you a long time ago! Stop being a bother!"
‘I guess he really is a psychologist.A man of words.Because damn, every word cut like a knife.But after this year's torture, this is a drop in the ocean.Compared to my experience, could this even be considered as pain? Haha!’
Zac put out his cigarette and said in a deep voice, "First, Sophie is my woman.Whatever I decide, she will always be mine, unless I die! Second, it was indeed my negligence and my fault that you saved her from the flames.I am grateful to you, so the matter of taking her away without my permission can be written off and I will not pursue it.Third, Sophie loves me.She has loved me since she was ten years old.Even if she doesn't love me now, it doesn't matter, because I love her enough! Fourth, do you still owe me an explanation for what happened to Sophie's body? "
"So you are not gonna allow Sophie to leave with me?"
"As long as I am alive, it will stay that way!"
He didn't say it, but Tristan realized that no one would want to take away Sophie from Zac as long as he was alive.
Tristan clenched his fist, and his face was gloomy and almost dripping out of water.
"The causes were all a coincidence.
I accidentally learned about the Williams family's plan, and it happened that a friend in the hospital received a female patient who died of a heart attack.She looked very similar to Sophie and I tampered with the body.I replaced Sophie with her.The reason why I did this is to make you all think Sophie is
dead.Only in this way can she really get rid of you scum! I only ask you one question now, were you always like this? A scum?"
"Yes"
"Do you really love her? But the person you loved before was Edith! And she is only like four or five years old now.That's pretty much a child! Dr.Anna said, she will probably never recover.So Mrs.Parks can't be a woman whose intelligence is as lower as that of a kid.You are still obsessed now, so you can't let her go.When you take her back, you will get tired of her in a few years.And since you are so preoccupied with your work, how can you spend time with a woman with lower intelligence.It's like taking care of a kid if you ask me.When you are fed up with this, are you going to lock her somewhere and have her taken care of by a few nannies? Will you let her suffer because you can't bear thinking about her all the time? Don't put her in danger because of your ego!"
Tristan increased his tone and voice as he said angrily.
If it weren't for his status as a licensed psychologist, he would've rushed up and had a fight with Zac! "Shut up! What you said will never happen! I love her, and I will spend the rest of my life with her.Taking care of her, no matter whether if she is four or three years old.As long as I'm alive, no one can hurt her!"
Zac looked at him very seriously.
"Leave!"
"You'd better remember what you said! Otherwise, I will kill you even if I fight for everything!"
After Tristan spoke, he left.He banged the door as he left the room.One could easily tell that he was full of anger as he walked out of the door.
Zac took a deep breath and finally, he thought, ‘‘Another problem solved’’
