Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 61 All Eyes On Her

today. Thank you for coming to my birthday party. I hope you all have a good time.”Not wasting too much time, Ysabelle ended things quickly and passed the microphone to the host.She then left the stage and walked toward Sophie.“Soph! I—” She wanted to take Sophie to check out the cruise ship, but Felix cut her off.“Come, Ysabelle. I want to show you your gift.”He had spent a great deal of time picking out the young woman’s birthday gift.“Go on,” Tristan chimed in.With that, Ysabelle was snatched away in a huff.Tristan had no intention of staying either.It was too lively there, and he preferred somewhere quieter.“Let’s go. I’ll get you out of this hellhole.”Sophie felt the same way he did. She was sick of being stared at by the female socialites there.“If you’re tired, you can head back and get some rest. I’ll find myself somewhere I can be alone,” she proposed.Yet, Tristan wasn’t having any of that nonsense, and he left while tugging her by the arm.“Are you always this disrespectful toward women, Mr. Tristan?”“My head’s throbbing. So let’s go.”Sophie was rendered speechless.Tristan soon brought her to his room, which appeared larger than Ysabelle’s and was located in an even better spot. One could simply take a seat on the rug and have the entire city’s view in front of their very eyes.The blinding lights of various colors lit up the sky beautifully.Tristan opened up a bottle of red wine, walked over with two glasses, and sat down.“You should have a seat too.

After all, he never really cared about the women around him.But upon seeing Sophie’s slender thighs, he couldn’t help but gulp.Then, he began to feel awkward as he realized what he had done.He got up and brought Sophie a woolen blanket to cover her thighs with.Sophie didn’t expect him to be this thoughtful.He’s surprisingly quite a gentleman. Most men would rather have the opportunity to stare.“You don’t have to thank me. I’m just worried I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back.”She was struck speechless.Fine! But did he really have to say it out loud?Tristan poured them a glass of wine each.“Have some. This wine’s pretty good.”He didn’t want her drinking in front of other men, but now that she was with him, it wasn’t a problem.Sophie raised her glass and took a sip.The wine tasted exceptionally good.It’s no surprise, though. Whatever Tristan eats or uses, he always has the best of everything.Tristan began to sip on his wine, too.The two savored their drinks while staring at the scenery outside the window.Despite not saying much, the two seemed to share an inexplicable mutual understanding.After finishing a glass, Sophie wanted seconds.“Can I have some
