Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 61 All Eyes On Her

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. Your feet must hurt from wearing those heels.”To him, Sophie was tall enough and didn’t need to wear high heels.Yet, Sophie believed that an evening gown always had to go with a pair of heels.It’s either heels or nothing.Tristan handed her a cushion for her to sit on.Her dress was rather short, so sitting like this wasn’t the most ideal situation.Tristan had never considered this. 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 have enough patience and confidence for this.This girl will eventually be mine.Time ticked by, and the two finished the entire bottle of wine without realizing it.“Let’s go grab some cake.” It was about time for Ysabelle’s cake-cutting ceremony.“Okay.”As soon as they stepped out of Tristan’s room, the door across theirs opened, and Winter could be seen walking out.Seeing Sophie and Tristan leaving the room together only made Winter’s expression sour further.“Good evening, Mr. Tristan,” she greeted before leaving in a rush.She didn’t want to look at them for a second longer, nor did she want to think about it.Tristan returned to the hall with Sophie. This time, he didn’t have his arm around her, so she felt
