Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 17 Never Seen Him Before

don’t.”Right then, Sophie’s phone rang.“Where are you?” came Tristan’s voice from the speakers the moment Sophie picked up the call.“I’m at Lumen Street. What’s the matter? Did something happen?” Sophie was confused by the call. Does Tristan have that much time on his hands?“It’s nothing. I’m going to come to you now. Don’t go anywhere.”“Who is that?” Butterfly curiously asked.“A friend’s uncle,” Sophie replied after a moment of thought.“Uncle?” Her friend’s uncle shouldn’t be that young. With that thought in mind, she added, “Phantom, you have to be careful. Some older men like young girls like you..”“I know.”“What do you know? Forget it. No one will dare to be mean to you with us around. As long as you’re in Jipsdale, you can lord over anyone.”“Butterfly, why didn’t I realize that you’re so humorous in the past?”Hearing that, Butterfly, who felt that she was too old to be called cute at the age of twenty-five, turned red in the face.“All right, since you have a friend who’s coming over, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll send you the details of Dr. Yarren’s matter. You can go right ahead to the state office to look for the police captain.” They had to work with the people from the state office as well.“Okay.”Not long after Butterfly left, Tristan arrived and sat opposite her.“How are you feeling? Do you want to go to the hospital?”“I’m fine. Mr. Tristan, are you really that free?”“It appears that I am. What’s wrong? Is someone bullying you?”“I’m the bully. Who would dare to tread on my toes?” Sophie said, unintentionally showing her true colors.“The doctor has asked you to get proper rest for now, so it’s best that you heed his advice.”Tristan had been in a rush to come to her, but the moment he saw her, the sense of urgency dissipated.He then ordered a cup of coffee.“How are you in Jipsdale Premier High? Fitting in fine?”“Not bad.”Sophie was completely unperturbed by Queenie and her gang.Hearing that, Tristan turned on a laptop, about to work from there.Both were attractive people—one carried an air of elegance, while the other was a beautiful young woman. Their presence in the small café caught the attention of many.Tristan did not deliberately try to continue the conversation. Instead, he would chat with her a little once in a while, and somehow, his words enticed her.Sophie did not mind Tristan staying by her side.After a round of her game, her phone rang.“What’s the matter, Grandpa?”“Soph! Can you come home for dinner tonight? Didn’t you promise me that you’ll come back once a week?” Josiah was rather upset that, even though he had gotten her back from Horington, he still rarely saw her.“Tonight?”“What is it? Can’t you even have a meal with your grandpa?”“All right. I’ll come home tonight.”“You’d better.” Josiah then told her a few reminders before ending the call.“Who was it?” Tristan was curious. It was his first time seeing her so meek.“My grandpa,” was all she said. She did not wish to say anything else to him, for she did not want anyone to intervene in the Tanner family’s affairs.Sophie then began packing her things. The Tanner residence in Jipsdale was a distance away from the café, and the drive there would take over an hour.“Let me send you there,” Tristan offered.Sophie did not reject him and left the café with him.That day, Tristan was driving a silver Lamborghini. The figure of the car was particularly smooth, and its mere presence was attracting the attention of many passersby.When those passersby realized that the owner of
