Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 83 I Am Chasing After Her

the military before.“You’re Sophie’s…” He raised his eyebrow slightly. Everything about him seems pretty good, though he definitely looks older than Soph.“He’s my classmate’s uncle.” Sophie spoke up.“Ah, uncle!” Josiah clearly didn’t believe that.“I’m chasing after her right now.” Tristan didn’t at all hide his intention.She was speechless. This man is so blunt!“How old are you this year?” Josiah was getting serious because he quite liked the young man.“I’m twenty-eight years old.” Tristan didn’t realize he panicked a little when he said that.“Twenty-eight years old! Our Soph is only eighteen.” Josiah was a little concerned about the age gap. “However, as long as she likes you, I don’t mind. Just take good care of her.”Sophie grabbed an apple and peeled it. Her hands were so agile that the fruit appeared as though it was dancing in her palms.Once she cut the apple into slices, she stabbed toothpicks into them and served them.Tristan continued to talk to Josiah.Both of them had a pretty good time talking with each other, which made the old man like the younger man even more.It wasn’t until they were alone in the room that Josiah said, “Even though you’re a decade older than Soph, I quite like you, Tristan. Good luck!”While he liked Tristan, he could tell Sophie didn’t seem ready yet. If Tristan wants to marry her, there’s still a long way ahead for him.“I’ll do my best.” Tristan smiled.“I only have one request. Soph is still young, so don’t you dare bully her.”“I understand.” Tristan knew what Josiah was implying and gave the old man his promise.“I’m a little tired now. You should take Soph out for a meal!

I’ll buy some for you,” Sophie asked after she returned to the ward.Since she was already at the hospital, she wouldn’t be able to eat in peace if she didn’t see her grandfather eating well.“Anything of what you can find will be good! I’ll be sleeping now.”“Okay.”Tristan put the blanket over Josiah’s body. If my dad sees me in the act, I bet he’ll be furious.When Sophie returned from fetching water, she saw him covering Josiah’s body with a blanket.At that moment, she felt touched.When Tristan turned back and saw her holding a kettle, he went over to her side and grabbed it. “You should’ve let me do this.”“My grandpa likes you,” Sophie stated.“I prefer if you like me instead.”She was speechless. Is this how he chases after women?“I’ve never chased after a woman before, Sophie. You’re my first, and my last. I don’t have any experience, but I want to give you the best I can offer.”“Mr. Tristan—”“All right, it’s fine. You’re still young. I’m not in a hurry. I can wait.”Both of them were experiencing the same kind of feeling, a feeling of longing for each other.“Right now, I need to fulfill my promise to Old Mr. Tanner and take you out for a meal,” Tristan said.“I’m not hungry.”“You should still eat even if you’re
