Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 39 Wait For You To Understand Me

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 whether Tristan wanted to stay here, he decided to wait till Tristan woke up.Sophie didn’t wake Tristan up either. She remained in her seat and allowed him to rest.“We’ve arrived?”Tristan’s eyes snapped open, and the first thing he noticed was her attractive eyes.Reaching out, he caressed her cheek.“It’ll be great if you can be this good at all times,” he lamented with a chuckle.Tristan had always been indifferent to others. However, the sight of his warm smile caused Sophie’s heart to soften.“I’ve always been good,” Sophie retorted. She would only attack those who provoked her. If someone had the guts to invoke her wrath, she would definitely teach that someone a lesson without holding back.“Do you need help with Tanner Group?” As of now, Tanner Group was no longer a threat in Jipsdale.“No need. I can handle it myself.” She had to do this herself to savor the joy of accomplishment.“Mm. Be careful. Don’t hurt yourself.” He wouldn’t allow anyone to lay a hand on her.“Don’t worry. I’m not that weak.” Tanner Group was about to hold its annual board meeting soon. As one of the directors, Sophie thought she should show her presence at the meeting. Otherwise, they would think she was no longer alive.“Do whatever you like. Don’t worry.” She can do anything she likes with Tanner Group.“Mm.” Sophie nodded. Willow wants Tanner Group for herself, so I’ll take it from her.Tristan sat up.“You don’t have to see me off. Wisteria Apartments is perfectly safe,” Sophie said.He was feeling unwell and should head back home to rest.“Let’s go.” Tristan pretended not to understand her rejection. As he was already here, he would have to send her to the door of her house safely. Perhaps he wanted to spend a few more minutes with her.“Why don’t you spend the night here instead of going home?” she suggested.“What?”Sophie explained, “Don’t take me wrongly. This is your home, and I’m staying here temporarily. You have your own room here, too.”“There’s no need to explain anything.”“I didn’t mean anything else,” she insisted. After all, she wasn’t an easy woman.“A young lady’s reputation is important. I don’t want others to slander you,” Tristan told her.Sophie isn’t afraid of me, but I’m afraid I might do something to her. She can affect me greatly. If I spend the night with her, I might lose control over
