Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 39 Wait For You To Understand Me

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. He wanted Winter to listen to his advice and give up, for her crush was fated for a bad ending. “Don’t do something that you’ll regret.”Winter hung her head low and insisted, “But I worked hard. 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 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
