CHAPTER 784 YOUR GIRLFRIEND TOOK MY SPOT
“Sure. We have room for one more,” Tristan agreed readily.
“You can give him a ring so he can get ready. We'll go and fetch him,” he added.
Tristan was well aware of how much Arius meant to Sophie, for he had always treated her well.
Arius was still sleeping when Sophie called him. He was usually busy and didn't have time to rest.
Now that it was the holiday season, everyone had gone home to spend time with their families.
There was nothing much to do at the medical association, so he had been catching up on the sleep
that he had previously been missing.
He was rudely woken up by his ringing phone.
Grabbing his phone, he glanced at the display to see that it was Sophie calling.
After answering the phone call, he let out an exasperated sigh and grumbled, “What is it? We finally got
some time off. Why are you calling me instead of spending time with your boyfriend?”
Arius had spent the last few days sleeping. When he got hungry, he would order takeaway food.
The holiday season had nothing to do with him.
His house was silent and still, devoid of the usual festive cheer that comes with families gathering
together.
“Get ready. I'll come and pick you up now,” Sophie said curtly, not bothering to explain things.
“Why?” Arius snapped impatiently.
As it was Sophie who gave him the order, he climbed out of bed reluctantly and got changed.
After getting prepared, he fell asleep on the couch until Sophie called, telling him to come downstairs.
He went downstairs to see Tristan's car parked outside.
“Where are we going?” he asked.
If they were on a date, it didn't make sense for him to tag along.
“The Lombard residence. We'll be having ravioli together, so we decided to invite you since you have
nothing to do at home,” Sophie revealed.
It wasn't good to sleep all day.
Arius snapped arrogantly, “What do you mean by I have nothing to do at home? I'm quite busy, okay?”
Knowing Arius' character, Sophie didn't bother arguing with him.
They were close enough to understand each other.
Soon, they arrived at the Lombard residence. After being introduced to Arius, William gave him a warm
welcome.
Despite a person's social standing, they were not immune to the physical ailments that could affect any
person. William had immense admiration for Arius upon discovering that he was a renowned doctor.
Sarah and the like were already preparing the ravioli.
The Lombard family had their own help who could prepare the ravioli for them, but it was Christmas.
Everyone had nothing to do, so they gathered together to prepare ravioli.
Ysabelle was an idol, but she suddenly had the idea to deliver ravioli to the sanitation workers.
Thus, her entire family got busy preparing ravioli.
When Sophie and Tristan arrived, Ysabelle quickly called out, “Sophie, come here! It's so fun to
prepare ravioli!”
Despite the fact that the ravioli Ysabelle had crafted didn't look particularly appealing, Felix provided
her with a few words of support, giving her a sense of accomplishment.
“Look, these are the ones I made. Make sure to eat the ones I made later, okay?” Ysabelle said
excitedly.
Sophie nearly burst out laughing when she saw the ravioli Ysabelle made. As expected of something
Ysabelle made.
“What's wrong? Are they not pretty? Aren't ravioli supposed to look this way?” Ysabelle was baffled.
“Are you sure you're making ravioli?” Arius asked rather rudely. He had always been direct and didn't
bother considering Ysabelle's emotions.
“Felix, what does he mean?”
Felix gave Arius an angry glare.
“Ignore him. He's just jealous. Don't let his comment affect you. After all, he doesn't have a girlfriend.
Anyone who stays single for too long will suffer from hormonal imbalance!” he comforted Ysabelle.
Arius was rendered speechless.
I'm a doctor. I would know if I'm suffering from hormonal imbalance! Well, well. It seems Felix has lost
his mind due to falling in love.
“Come, let's all make ravioli together. Ysabelle is going to deliver the ravioli to the sanitation workers
later, so you three should come and help us,” Sarah urged. She was the best ravioli maker as the
ravioli she made were the prettiest.
“Okay!”
Sophie and Tristan were smart enough to learn how to make ravioli quickly, and the ravioli they made
appeared rather nice too.
Ysabelle felt threatened when she saw how pretty their ravioli looked.
She couldn't really compare her ravioli with the others as she didn't know how to cook, but Sophie had
never learned how to cook, either. Despite this, it only took a moment of observation for Sophie to
master the technique of making beautifully-shaped ravioli.
Why are my ravioli so ugly?
Despite having never done this before, Arius was busy learning how to make ravioli then.
He was exceedingly proud of his high IQ, which he saw as the source of his numerous successes.
However, the ravioli he made weren't even decent looking.
Ysabelle finally felt better when she saw the ravioli Arius made. How dare he laugh at me when he's
around my level?
Felix was also laughing merrily. “Arius, how could you laugh at others? Just look at the ravioli you
made!”
Arius refused to give up and made another one, but it was still ugly.
Meanwhile, Sophie and Tristan had already made a few. They were slow, but at least the ravioli they
made looked normal.
“Sophie, you're good at this! I shall eat the ones you made later, okay?” Ysabelle asked happily.
She started losing confidence in her cooking skills and decided to let the rest do it.
“What about the ones you made?” Tristan demanded.
“I'll eat them!” Felix answered hastily.
He wasn't about to let others eat the ravioli Ysabelle made.
Ysabelle's lips curled into a grin when she saw how supportive Felix was.
“Felix, you're the only one who won't ignore me!” Ysabelle was aware of her lack of culinary experience
despite her fervent wish of making a perfect dish of ravioli.
Altogether, they made a few hundred ravioli. Ysabelle was satisfied with their progress.
“Sophie, I used to have a negative opinion of people who volunteered their time and money to
charitable causes, but I have since come to realize how important it is to give back to the community,”
Ysabelle said honestly. She was not seeking public recognition or admiration; her sole intention was
simply to give back to those working on Christmas.
Sophie nodded. “Yeah. I'll back you up in whatever you choose to do. There is no need to overthink it.
Just go ahead and do what you feel is best.”
Ysabelle was touched. “I knew you would support me always!”
Hearing that, Felix felt that he was an outsider even though he was Ysabelle's boyfriend.
Sophie could easily please Ysabelle with a few words, but it was different for him.
Ysabelle couldn't be bothered no matter what he did.
He felt utterly defeated.
“Mr. Tristan, how could your girlfriend snatch my lines and my spot?” Felix demanded unhappily. He
knew he wasn't Sophie's match.
