Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 61 All Eyes On Her

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’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 more?” She really liked the wine.Tristan took the bottle and poured her another glass.“Do you feel uncomfortable being with me?”“No.”“That’s good, then.”He hoped she could slowly get used to his presence.I’ll give her time.

This time, he didn’t have his arm around her, so she felt much more at ease.The workers had already wheeled an eighteen-tier cake into the room.Ysabelle had been looking for Sophie the whole time, and upon seeing her, she immediately dashed over.Sophie stood next to her.As the eighteen candles were lit, everyone began to sing.Ysabelle made a wish before blowing out the candles and cutting the cake.She was especially delighted that day.“I’m so happy I got to see you today, Sophie. Oh, and I really like what you gave me.”As she spoke, she took out her favorite gift.Upon seeing that Ysabelle’s most beloved gift was a rock, Danielle burst into laughter.“Don’t you think you’re being way too nice to her, Ms.
