Chapter 230 Shocking Self Control "Mr. Tristan, are our plans for this year's Christmas the same as usual?" Every year, the fourof them would have dinner with their families on Christmas Eve.
However, they would go on a vacation together after that. "I have other plans, so I won't join you this year," Tristan replied nonchalantly.
The other three were silent and couldnot help glancing toward Sophie.
His "other plans" must refer to her! Alas, some people really do forget all about their friends after getting a girlfriend.
That's no fun.
"Don't look at me. I'm busy and won't be with Mr.Tristan," Sophie responded.
They don't think I'll be spending Christmas with him, do they?
"Huh?"
Felix could hardly believe his ears.

"Yes, I know. I'll be back in time for Christmas." She had already promised Josiah that she would celebrate the holiday with him.
And since she had given him her word, there was no way she would change her plans.
