Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 39 Wait For You To Understand Me

it obvious that I have a crush on him? Can’t he see it? How could he be this heartless?“Charles, she’s your sister. You brought her here, so take her back home yourself.”“Mm. I’ll do that.”“I’ll give Ysabelle a ride home. Her house is right beside mine, anyway,” Felix offered.“Sure. Uncle Tristan, make sure Sophie gets home safely, all right?” Ysabelle implored.“Let’s go. No one will be stupid enough to dare to harm her if she’s with Mr. Tristan.” Felix dragged her out.Winter wasn’t about to give up just yet, but Charles didn’t give her any chance and pulled her away.“Charles, why did you drag me out? I can walk myself!” she huffed angrily.Charles sighed.“Winter, you’re my sister. I know you’re smart, and our family has always been proud of you. However, you have to remember you can’t win someone else’s love just because you’re smart. Tristan doesn’t love you. No matter how much you work hard, he won’t notice you. In fact, if you weren’t my sister, you wouldn’t even get to be in the same room as him.”How does someone as smart as her become a fool when in love?“Charles, I don’t want to hear that. I want nothing more than to be with him. You’ll help me, right?” Winter whined. I’m the daughter of the Quigley family, and Charles is a good friend of Mr. Tristan. Everything is in my favor, so I can’t give up just yet!“Be good. I can help you elsewhere, but this is beyond my capabilities,” Charles said.

I can be his perfect partner!”Charles shook his head. “Whether or not you are a suitable partner for Mr. Tristan depends on his preference. No one else can make up his mind for him.”Tristan was born into an influential family, so he didn’t need a wife to elevate his status.All he wanted was a woman who he loved.Tristan drank that night, so he didn’t drive. His driver was already waiting outside.After spotting them, the driver got out of the car and opened the door for them.Tristan gestured for Sophie to enter the car before him.The driver then closed the door and returned to the driver’s seat.He didn’t need any orders, for he already knew where they were headed.“Mr. Tristan, are you all right?” Sophie asked. He seems pretty downcast today.“I’m fine. My head’s throbbing a bit, that’s all.”“Then ask the driver to give you a ride home first.” She didn’t mind going home a bit later.Tristan leaned on her shoulder and shut his eyes.“I’m fine. I think I drank too much tonight,” he responded.Sophie stiffened the moment his head landed on her shoulder.The man implored, “Let me lean on you for a bit.”Can I say no? Obviously not, since he’s already leaning on me.When the car rolled to a stop at the underground parking at Wisteria Apartments, the driver didn’t wake them up. He left them alone and went out to smoke. As he didn’t know
