Anything For Her

Chapter 381

“Did you not hear what I said earlier, Uncle Tristan? There are only a few days left, and I'd like to do reviewing with Sophie.”

Ysabelle felt exceedingly aggrieved.

I rambled for an eternity, but it didn't work at all? No matter what, we're related by blood. How could he treat me like this?

“If you really need it, I can hire a tutor for you. Don't worry! I'll definitely get you a good tutor.” Hah! I'll never allow her to have my woman all to herself.

At Tristan's remark, Ysabelle fell silent and gazed at Sophie forlornly.

Why am I so pitiful? Uncle Tristan must have been adopted, for he's not giving me any leeway despite the blood ties between us!

In the face of her doleful and adorable expression, Sophie tugged at Tristan's arm.

“All right, don't pick on Ysabelle anymore. Since she wants to stay here, just let her do so. There are only three days left until the university entrance exam anyway.” Besides, a tutor isn't what Ysabelle wants.

“Who do you choose between her and me?” Tristan questioned solemnly.

Both Felix and Ysabelle were struck dumb.

Whoa! What kind of question is that? Is he really jealous? I never expected him to ask such a question.

“My choice?” Sophie giggled.

“Sophie!” exclaimed Ysabelle. Please don't abandon me!

Likewise, Tristan's gaze remained fixated on Sophie as he waited for her to make her choice.

“Why should I choose? Can't I have both?” Sophie countered domineeringly.

They're not enemies, so I really don't want to answer such a question.

Once again, Felix was dumbfounded.

Well, I've learned something today. Who'd have guessed that she's a veritable expert in handling such a question? It's a piece of cake for her!

“Fine. You can stay here, but don't be a third wheel. Make an appearance when appropriate, but never do so when the time isn't right. Otherwise, I'll have someone pack your bags and send you home immediately!” That was already the greatest concession Tristan could make.

“Don't worry, Uncle Tristan! I'll never make an appearance when the time isn't right! But Uncle Tristan, are you saying you'll also be staying here?”

“Of course! How could I rest easy to leave you here alone?”

“Are you sure I'm the person you're worried about?” Ysabelle was exceedingly skeptical about that statement of his.

Hah! He'll never be worried about me!

In response, Tristan shot her a sidelong glance.

“Ysabelle, are you thinking that you don't need to fear me anymore because you've got someone backing you up now?” She seems to love doubting my words recently.

At once, Ysabelle shook her head.

“Of course not, Uncle Tristan! You're the person I fear most in this world. I'd never dare challenge your authority. Why are you still standing there, Felix? Hurry up and carry my luggage upstairs!”

I wouldn't be able to stay here anymore if Uncle Tristan changes his mind!

Words eluded Felix.

She only thinks of me when she needs me, huh? But on second thought, this is considered a good thing. At the very least, she thinks of me when something comes up.

He then helped to carry Ysabelle's luggage upstairs.

“Actually, Ysabelle, I performed pretty well in my university entrance exam. I should have no problems tutoring you. How about you stay at my house instead? I'll give you one-on-one tutoring. Don't worry. I'll do my best.”

Hearing Felix's suggestion, Ysabelle said nothing for a moment.

Thus, Felix continued, “Why, do you not believe me? Let me tell you that while Mr. Tristan ranked first in the entire country back then, I was only a few places below him, ranking fourth!” Naturally, Sean and Charles were both geniuses, so he only managed to clinch fourth place.

“No, it's okay. I still prefer Sophie tutoring me.”

Besides, I'm going to debut right after the university entrance exam, but I've still got a ton of unresolved problems. I must resolve them all in the fastest time possible.

Felix was quite disheartened.

“You'd rather choose Sophie instead of me? How can you be so cruel?” Sure enough, Sophie is a temptress, enticing both men and women!

“Can you please stop this, Felix? You're making me feel so awkward. All right, it's late, so go home quickly and rest!”

“It's late, so how about I stay the night here?”

“Sure! I don't mind you staying, but you can only sleep on the couch. Or if you're brave enough to share a room with Uncle Tristan, do so by all means.” After all, there were only three bedrooms in Wisteria Apartments.

Regardless, I definitely have no objections to that if he's not afraid of death.

“Can't I share a room with you?”

Ysabelle gaped at him in disbelief.

“How could you be so shameless, Felix? Are you flirting with me right now? How could you do this? You and my Uncle Tristan are of the same age!”

In all honesty, I should actually address him with the same measure of respect as I do Uncle Tristan.

Felix went silent, despondency washing over him.

I don't want to be her elder! I want to be her man, okay? I dream of that every single night!
