Chapter 639

The sight of Sophie's beautiful eyes that sparkled with the radiance of the stars was enough to make
one subconsciously lose themselves in their depths. Her soft, red lips moved as she said, “I only did
that because I couldn't help myself. It's your fault for having such a sexy Adam's apple.”

Is it really that sexy? I'm pretty much perfect from head to toe, but of all things, she likes my Adam's
apple? That discovery left Tristan rather dumbfounded. Finally, he said, “Well, it appears you've taken a
particular liking to it.”

“I have! I think it's very sexy!” As she spoke, she could not refrain from licking his throat again.

He fell silent, feeling like he was about to lose his mind. She's going to drive me absolutely crazy with
her teasing! She's usually quiet and aloof, but when she starts flirting, it can really get dangerous. I like
her so much that just looking at her can make me lose control, let alone when she tempts me the way
she's doing now.

“I'm genuinely worried that sharing a bed with you in the future will be the death of me,” he remarked.

She stared at him wordlessly. Is that supposed to be a compliment? It sure doesn't sound like one.

“Are you calling me a temptress?” she asked, thinking about how the kings used to die in the beds of
such women in ancient times.

“Yes, that's right. You're a little temptress,” he responded in a low, alluring voice. Leaning forward, he
bit her lip gently as punishment. Her actions may not have been intentional, yet I seem to have fallen
under her spell. If that isn't the of work a temptress, then what?



Sophie did not attempt to stop him from kissing her, thinking that was probably the only way to ease his
discomfort. As time passed, however, the situation got increasingly out of hand.

Seeing him like that made her heart ache.

“I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to tease you. It was honestly a sudden impulse!” she explained. Alas, it was
always he who ended up suffering.

Tristan did not respond. What else can I say? Can I blame her? I can't!

Breathing heavily as he lay on top of her, he could smell her faint fragrance. I know now's the time I
should be going to take a shower. Nonetheless, I don't want to be apart from her. All I want is to lie
close to her like this until the end of time. Even if we don't do anything, I'm content with just gazing at
her like this. There's no doubt that I've become a person who's easily contented ever since she came
into my life.

Feeling exhausted after their meal and amorous overture, she soon dozed off on the couch.

He got up from the couch gingerly. The sound of her quiet and steady breathing made him feel calm
and at ease, giving him a sense of peace and tranquility.

After all, isn't this how life is supposed to be? I don't need a love that's grand and spectacular. Just this!
A love where we grow old together with neither leaving the other behind. One where we stay by each
other's sides for the rest of our lives. Just that is enough. That's genuinely all I need to be content.
Everything was too smooth sailing between us in the beginning, so there are times when I can't help
but worry whether something will happen in the future. However, no matter what life throws at us, I
won't let go of her.



As he scooped her up from the couch, he knitted his brows at how little she weighed.

Despite his efforts in looking for various top chefs, she still did not eat much and never seemed to have
much appetite.

She probably only eats to survive. I've never seen her particularly enjoy any food.

Arius did not expect that Tristan would go to find him. As long as the two were together, the former
would inevitably be on the losing end, so he harbored an extreme dislike for the latter.

Hence, when Arius heard the doorbell and opened the door, only to see Tristan standing outside, he
made to slam the door shut.

However, Tristan pushed the door open forcefully.

“What do you think you're doing? This is my house. I don't want to see you now, so can you get out
already?” Arius demanded angrily. Ever since he appeared, Sophie doesn't love me anymore. So,
naturally, I don't like him!

“Can't you quit being so childish? I'd only be here if I have something important to talk to you about,”
Tristan replied. Does he seriously think I have so much free time to come all the way here and bicker
with him otherwise?

“You have to talk to me about something? You? Really? Go ahead, then. What is it? Let's see whether
I'm in the mood to help you out,” Arius said arrogantly. He had his moods too, and he was not about to
help Tristan just because that was what the latter wanted.



“It's about Sophie,” Tristan revealed, stating the reason for his visit without beating around the bush.

Arius truly cared for Sophie, so he always treated any matters relating to her seriously. He immediately
stepped aside to let Tristan into the house. “What is it? Did something happen to her? Hasn't she been
with you all this while? What have you done to her?”

Tristan headed straight into the living room and sat on the couch. “You've known Sophie for a long time,
haven't you? I was wondering, did she always have such a small appetite?”

“Ah, so that's why you're here. It seems that you've really fallen for her,” Arius remarked. Indeed, how
little she eats has always been an issue.

“I've tried getting all kinds of different chefs, but no matter what they cook, she only eats a little.” Sophie
was too thin, and Tristan was very concerned about that.

“That's how she's always been. As long as her health is fine, you don't have to worry too much about
it,” Arius said. He, too, was at a loss for how to deal with that matter.

“Is there no solution to it?” asked Tristan.

Arius shook his head, feeling utterly helpless. “To be honest, even as a doctor, I've no way of dealing
with that.”

At first, he had worried about it too. However, after observing that Sophie's health did not seem to be
affected even though she did not eat much, he did not interfere. After all, there was nothing others



could do if she did not want to eat more.

“Perhaps you could try cooking for her yourself? If you're the one who prepared the food, she might eat
more of it, don't you think?” he suggested. Isn't that what others refer to as the power of love?

“But seeing as you're so busy, I suppose you won't take the time to cook for her,” Arius added after a
pause, thinking that people who managed their time down to the second like Tristan would never be
willing to spend so much time on a woman.

“Will she eat it if I'm the one who prepared it?” Tristan wondered aloud. It was not that he was reluctant
to spend all that time on cooking, but more so that he worried his cooking would suck and that Sophie
would still force herself to eat it because of him.

“How will you know if you don't give it a go?” Arius quipped. Regardless of what it is, we've got to give
things a try to know how they'll turn out, right?

“All right. Got it.”

“Are you serious about that? I was only joking. Even if you do that, she might not like it,” Arius said
quickly, slightly regretting his words. This guy has led a pampered life, so I'm worried whether what he
cooks will end up giving Sophie food poisoning or not. If it does, I'll be the main culprit!

“Don't worry. It'll be fine. It's just cooking a meal. With my intelligence, I can definitely learn how to do
it.” For Sophie's sake, Tristan was willing to try anything, even if the odds of it working were only a
million to one.

Arius was bereft of words. If Sophie finds out what I've done, she'll skin me alive!
