Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 71 A Bridal Carry

someone jostled Tristan. He inched forward a fraction, upon which both their bodies plastered together.“Uh…”Sophie abruptly felt that it wasn’t a wise decision to take shelter with him under the eaves.At that precise moment, the driver came with the umbrella.The car was parked there, but the rain was coming down in torrents, so the curb was already flooded.“I’ll carry you over.”“No, it’s okay. I can walk over by myself.”“You’ll ruin your shoes.”Sophie initially wanted to say that she didn’t mind, but Tristan had already scooped her up.Meanwhile, the driver opened an umbrella for her.“I’ll carry her instead, Mr. Tristan!” he offered. How could I have Mr. Tristan doing such a thing?“What did you just say?”Glimpsing the look in Tristan’s eyes, the driver immediately shook his head and pretended that he didn’t say anything earlier.“Oh my God, a bridal carry!
