Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 49 Change Your Clothes

housekeeper’s food.”“I’m not that particular.” I’m fine as long as it’s filling. I’m not picky with food.After finishing lunch, Sophie couldn’t sleep anymore, so she settled onto the couch and watched the television.Tristan cleaned up the dining table, then took a seat beside her.He gently patted her head.“I’m fine now.”“That’s great to hear.”Even though it was just a common cold and fever, I was worried sick when I saw her lying unconscious on the couch. She didn’t even know how worried I was.Tristan left in the evening after getting an urgent call. He even ordered her to rest at home before he left.After he drove away, Sophie changed her clothes straight away. Ysabelle’s birthday is tomorrow, and I haven’t even bought her a present yet. I was too busy the past few days.Since she had already taken leave that day, she decided to spend the remaining time buying Ysabelle’s present. She got on her new bicycle and pedaled her way to Monarch Mall.After a period of observation, Sophie had a basic understanding of Ysabelle. A rich girl like her won’t lack presents, so finding a suitable gift for her will be challenging.Sophie entered a jewelry store, thinking of picking something out for Ysabelle.Dressed in a plain white t-shirt, black slacks, and canvas shoes didn’t get Sophie any warm greeting from the sales assistant. The sales assistant merely nodded at Sophie when she entered, then pretended she didn’t exist.Couldn’t care less about the sales assistant’s attitude, Sophie slowly studied each piece of jewelry on the shelf.Willow and a few of her friends were out shopping as well. She didn’t have to take any classes on Saturday, because she had art lessons.Yet, one call from Louisa and she skipped her lesson.Louisa loved shopping for luxury goods. The Yarborough family was wealthier than the Tanner family. Moreover, Louisa was the only child of the Yarborough family, hence the excessive love and pampering they gave her.A few other girls were following behind Louisa and Willow. With Louisa’s generosity in gifting the girls small presents, they would agree to her request for an outing every time she asked.They didn’t mind carrying the shopping bags for Louisa. Louisa would gift them luxury goods if she was in a good mood.“What’s wrong with you lately, Willow?”“It’s all Sophie’s fault,” Willow complained. She never hid anything from Louisa. “You knew she was back, right? Grandpa even gave her the company’s shares. It’s pointless no matter how hard I try.”“It’s only twenty percent of the company’s shares. Just marry Mason when he gets back. Once you married him, the Tanner family will be nothing to you.”Louisa was Mason’s cousin. That was why Willow was so close to her.“Oh, cut it. Mason might not even like me.”Mrs. Laird dotes on me, but no one knows how Mason thinks of me.“Willow, don’t worry so much. Wasn’t Mason quite concerned about you before he left the country? You also have me as your wing girl.”Louisa patted Willow’s shoulder reassuringly.“Isn’t that the b**ch, Sophie?” Louisa’s steps paused when she saw Sophie.Willow halted too.“Come on, let’s go in and have a look.” Louisa intended to cause trouble for Sophie.At that moment, a bracelet caught Sophie’s eyes.“Hi, can I have a closer look at that bracelet?”“Miss, are you sure you’re going to buy it? Our goods are pricey.”Sophie’s brows furrowed.“I said I want a closer look at that bracelet.”Sophie was feeling impatient with the sales assistant’s attitude but still repeated her request.“Do you know how much this bracelet costs?” The sales assistant still refused to take the bracelet out.Then, Louisa led Willow and the rest into the jewelry
