Blood gushed out and slid down along the back of Ethan’s hand
He frowned and irritably pulled out a tissue, pressing it onto the back of his hand.
He then picked up his phone and car keys, took a jacket from the wardrobe, and stepped out of the ward.
It wasn’t until he sat in his car that the bleeding finally stopped.
He casually tossed the tissue aside and picked up his phone.
Henry had sent him several more messages, all teasing him.
And finally, he included his current location
Ethan tapped open the Google Maps, stepped on the accelerator and sped off towards the location.
Sophia couldn’t calm herself down even after quite a while.
Now, she felt embarrassed even looking at Tristan.
Tve just leaned on him and even… even kissed his collarbone.
Would he misunderstand… that I’m just a lustful woman?
Even if 1 explain it was an accident, would he believe me?
Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn’t believe it!‘
Just as Sophia was debating whether to leave amidst the awkward atmosphere, her phone suddenly beeped with a message coming.
She picked up her phone.
It was a WhatsApp message from Hudson.
Hudson: [Not bad, Sophia, you’ve made so much money. When are you going to give me a bonus?]
In Sophia’s mind, Tristan’s hot face was instantly replaced by stacks of cashes.
Her bright eyes widened suddenly.
“That’s right!
What matters right now is that Tristan’s admirer, that big fool, has bid 5.5 million for each of my ten pills!
After being poor for three years, I’ve become a rich lady worth 30 million now!
My becoming rich matters the most!

The embarrassment of kissing Tristan on the collarbone is nothing compared to piles of money!
Sophia typed with her slender fingers.
Unbelievable Sophia: [OK, 3,000 dollars for your hard work.]
Hudson: [What? You made so much, but you only plan to give me 3,000? Do you have a conscience?]
‘Sure enough. I’ve guessed right.
Hudson was just trying to fool me into spending a fortune on him!
He’s really cunning.
He even dared to swindle me out of my money.”
Unbelievable Sophia: [No, just 3,000. Take it or leave it.]
Hudson: [What?!]
Hudson: [I take it! It’s money after all!]
Sophia was speechless.
‘Does he still remember he’s from a prestigious family in Virelia
To a Myers, isn’t 3,000 dollars equivalent to a cent?
Is my research institute really that poor?
50 th
poor that even a Myers has to stoop so low for 3,000 dollars?
Tristan, sitting beside Sophia, was not feeling any better than her inside.
He sat quietly for a while before suppressing his desires.

However, the tension all over his body, the touch of Sophia in his arms, and… the warmth from her lips seemed to linger
Especially his collarbone, like a spark that had been ignited, kept burning.
His slightly protruding Adam’s apple moved up and down.
When he looked up again, he saw Sophia, who had been blushing, holding her phone and texting someone.
Her delicate face had returned to normal, and her features had become a bit more lively.
Tristan’s eyes grew slightly deep.
‘Sophia could be shy because of the “accident” just now, indicating that my face has great appeal to her.
At least I know she likes my face.
But she adjusted her emotions in such a short time.

Does that mean the charm of my face is not lasting?”
Tristan’s eyes became even deeper, with a bit of an urge to move closer to see whom Sophia was texting.
But, of course, he couldn’t really do that.
He merely raised his brows slightly and said in an extremely calm tone, “Congratulations, Sofi, for making a fortune.”
Sophia heard Tristan’s mellow voice.
The excitement that had barely been suppressed by the money just rose again faintly.
She lifted her long lashes, her bright eyes meeting Tristan’s deep, hazel eyes.
His eyes resembled a deep pool.
Sophia’s heart skipped a beat again, and she tightened her grip on her phone a bit unconsciously.
“Hmm… well, thanks to you,” she said as she licked her slightly dry lips..
Sophia’s embarrassment made a slight smile appear in Tristan’s eyes.
‘She would get shy.
That means my face is still attractive to her.
As long as she likes my face, 1 can make her my girl ultimately wall enough patience and time.”
Tristan had always been patient with Sophia.
With a teasing smile, he suddenly lowered his head, his hoarse voice tinged with affections.
“So, how do you plan to thank me?”
Tristan just leaned slightly towards Sophia.
But Sophia immediately sensed a waft of cool woody fragrance engulf her.
The image of her throwing herself onto Tristan and kissing his collarbone suddenly flooded her mind.
She became nervous, and her body instinctively moved back-
However, she was already sitting at the edge of the sofa, with nowhere further to retreat.
That action made the smile in Tristan’s eyes brighter. “Are you being shy?”
Tristan’s voice carried a visible mischievous tease,
His bewitching smile was irresistible to Sophia.
Sophia flushed red and lowered her long lashes, diverting her gate away from his.
“No.

She licked her lips and added. ‘After all, it’s a bit embarrassing.”
“There’s nothing embarrassing about it. Tristan smiled, “1… don mind it at all.”

With Tristan acting like that, she would only feel more embarrassed.
However, after his blunt remarks, she didn’t feel as awkward as before.
- 396.
She locked her phone, her gaze shifting towards the auction block. “The upcoming lots shouldn’t include anything about medicine, nor anything your grandpa needs. If there’s nothing else.”
Tristan interrupted Sophia’s attempt to leave alone, his voice low and magnetic, “Shall we go?”
Sophia’s lips moved as she replied, “I drove here myself
The implication was that she had a car and so did he, so they couldn’t leave together.
Tristan curled his lips. “My assistant dropped me off and left immediately, so I can only hitch a ride with you.”
He paused, a playful smile on his face as he tilted his head slightly and asked, “Are you shy?”
