Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 82 Embrace

followed behind too. If anything happens to Dad, I mustn’t let Sophie have Tanner Group!When Josiah saw how pale Sophie was, he smiled. “No need to appear so serious, Soph! I’m fine. It’s just that my blood pressure was slightly on the high side.”She approached him and grabbed his hand. “You’re going to be fine, Grandpa.”“Mhm, I’m fine.” Ever since Sophie was a child, Josiah had doted on her.He knew she was a complicated person and that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to worm their way into her heart.However, if someone did manage to secure a place in her heart, she would give her all to him.“Do you see now, Dad? Sophie isn’t at all suitable to enter Tanner Group! I hope you’ll hand her shares to me,” Yale suggested.“You can leave now, Yale.” Sophie frowned. Even at this moment, all he sees is still power and money. A person like him doesn’t deserve to stand here.“No matter what happens, I’m still your father, Sophie! How dare you speak to me like that!” Yale was so angry that he wanted to choke her to death.“Get out of here, Yale! All of you should go home! I only need Soph to accompany me. This ward isn’t that big either. It can’t have too many people inside,” Josiah ordered.“Are you still trying to defend her, Dad? When are you going to stop protecting her?” Yale retorted.“Yeah! You’re sick, Grandpa. How can we go back in peace? I want to accompany you, too,” Willow added.“Dad, Sophie is still young. She doesn’t know anything! How can she take care of you? I think it’s better for me to stay and—”“Are you all ignoring me right now? I’ve said so much, yet none of you seem to listen at all!” Josiah angrily sat up on his bed with much difficulty.“Fine. Since you don’t want to see us here, we’ll leave.” Yale was disappointed and angry at Josiah, too.Seeing that Yale was about to leave, Charmaine didn’t have the nerve to stay any longer. Hence she pulled Willow away with her.It wasn’t until the three of them were outside that Willow said, “What kind of spell did Sophie put Grandpa under, Mom? Even after what she did to Tanner Group, Grandpa still trusts her! Why?”“All right, that’s enough. Your dad’s already not happy. It doesn’t matter to you what will happen to the Tanner family. Once you get married to the Laird family, you’ll have so much more than what you currently possess,” Charmaine dismissed.Willow’s fist tightened. “You know how impressive the Laird family is, Mom. If I join their family with nothing, do you think they will take me in with high regard? Don’t you know how important dowry is nowadays?”“I know, and your dowry won’t be anything short of impressive.” Charmaine felt like she was getting a headache, but there was nothing she could do.Only Josiah and Sophie were left in the room.“Come sit next to me, Soph,” Josiah requested.Sophie pulled a stool closer and sat on it next to the bed. “You should take care of yourself, Grandpa! No need to think about anything else. There’s still me!”He smiled. “When you reach my age, you’ll find many things becoming unimportant. As you can see, I’m getting really old now. I can let go of anything but you. I just hope you’ll find happiness.”She was his favorite child.Sophie wasn’t exactly a talkative person, so all she did was nod.However, her heart was turning cold.She knew how well he had been treating her.Seeing how heavy her expression was, Josiah joked, “Actually, I don’t want to die yet! Not until I see you getting married to a good man, at least.”“You will, Grandpa. I want you to personally hand me over to the person I love.”When he thought about that day, his eyes turned red. God, there’s nothing else I want more than a little more time for me to see her get married.“What do you want to eat, Grandpa? I’ll buy it for
