Chapter 286 Nicholas Shows Up After Ysabelle left, it was also time for Sophie to leave. Nonetheless, Tristan did not feel like letting her leave. “Let’s rest here for the afternoon. I’ll send you back after that. I’m truly exhausted.” He reasoned to himself that it was for their safety as it would be dangerous to drive while tired. “Mr. Tristan—” What’s gotten into him?

I heard through the grapevine that he came back to look for you, so it’s highly likely that he’s in Jipsdale at this very moment. Got it? Whatever it is, just stay home this Christmas, and don’t go running around.” If she ends up getting dragged back there by Nicholas,
she did not expect to cross paths with Nicholas so soon, not knowing that he had headed straight to the Tanner residence to look for her. Josiah gazed at the young man in front of him with a look of intense scrutiny in
