Anything For Her

Even though he hoped that he would be able to head there with her, he decided not to press on since she said nothing.

Sophie knew that Tristan wanted to go with her, but Arius was no ordinary person. Without Arius’ permission, no one, including Sophie, could reveal his location to anyone else.

“Mr. Tristan, you can send her there.” Why let a young woman like her take a cab to who-knows-where so late at night?

Tristan shot him a look in response. Do I look like I needed you to prompt me to do that? It’s only because Sophie doesn’t want me to do it. That’s what I mind the most.

Right then, Ysabelle came out and saw Felix and her uncle.

“Are you all here to pick me up?” Clearly, Tristan was not. But where’s Sophie? Did they not come across her?

“Send her home safely, and don’t let her linger around outside,” was all Tristan said to Felix before getting into the car, ready to head to Wisteria Apartments and wait for Sophie there.

Ysabelle then turned to Felix and scoffed at the man. She did not forget that they were both giving each other the cold shoulder. Moreover, she had tried to initiate reconciliation, but he ignored her completely.

“Ysabelle, I was the one who uploaded the video. Sorry.” Felix was overwhelmed with guilt. All he wanted was to help her out, but his action ended up trapping her in a situation like this.

Ysabelle scoffed again.

“Oh,” she flatly said as if she was completely unfazed by the matter. “Is there something else you want to talk about? If not, it’s time for me to head home. My dad has given me a curfew.”

Felix pursed his lips, feeling helpless. I think I’ve really made a mistake.

“Belle, I really didn’t mean to be so distant toward you. I just didn’t know how to face you.”

“Is that so? So, you know how to face me now?”

Felix was silent.

“If you don’t, you might as well just give up. It’s the best outcome for all of us.” Then, without giving him a chance to respond, Ysabelle turned and got into the Lombard family’s car.
