Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 90 Put Up With Him

a dozen excited, pretty girls made quite an impression on the other travelers.Ysabelle was stunned when they ran into Tristan and Felix at the boarding gate.“What are you doing here, Uncle Tristan?” she asked suspiciously.“I have matters to attend to in Koandria.”“What a coincidence!”Ysabelle gave a bitter laugh. It’s not often that I get to go on a holiday. Can’t he cut me some slack?Having never met Tristan and Felix, Wilma nodded to them as a form of greeting.Felix seated himself next to Ysabelle upon boarding the plane, to her chagrin.“What are you doing? I want to sit with Sophie.”“Are you sure, Belle?”“I’m very sure.”“Mr. Tristan, Ysabelle says she wants to-”Ysabelle clapped a hand over Felix’s mouth and glared at him fiercely.Tristan looked over. “What is it?”“Nothing,” Ysabelle said hastily as she concealed her annoyance.How am I going to rebel against my uncle?“Look. I don’t want to sit with you, either. I’m afraid of Mr. Tristan. You are no better, aren’t you?”Ysabelle was struck dumb. Lamenting her fate, she was careful to keep her voice down as she did so.“Have you had lunch?” Tristan asked Sophie. It’s now one in the afternoon. I wonder if she has eaten.“I have.”She and Ysabelle had come over after lunch.“I’m glad you did.”Sophie took out her phone and put on her earphones.“What are you listening to?”Sophie gave him the other earbud. Tristan took it and put it in his ear.It was a very catchy Ustranasion song.Tristan took out his own phone and searched for the song. After setting it as his ringtone, he closed his eyes for a nap.He spent the entire night dealing with the matters of Lombard Group for the next couple of days. After a meeting earlier that morning, he came with Felix to the airport after taking care of his work.Noticing how exhausted he looked, Sophie was careful not to bother him. Instead, she read a book on anatomy.Arius had expressed his desire for her to join the medical association. She agreed as she was genuinely interested in that field.Sophie’s resolve to study medicine strengthened significantly after the incident with her grandfather.I will join the medical association after settling the issues within Tanner Group.Sophie was so engrossed in reading her book that she did not notice Tristan waking up.Surprised to find her with a book, Tristan gazed curiously for a while.When he saw that she was reading an original version of a textbook on anatomy, Tristan became even more convinced of Sophie’s medical prowess.She wouldn’t tell me anything if I asked her right now. However, it does not matter. I don’t care how many secrets she has. I will unravel them one by time.Sophie turned around and saw Tristan’s eyes fixed thoughtfully on the book in her hand.“Would you like to take a look?” Sophie offered while handing it over. “I can lend it to you if you find it interesting.”Tristan shook his head.“It’s a tall order for me to start learning medicine at my age. I’m just curious about what you’re reading, that’s all.”“It’s never too late to start learning something as long as you have the passion.”Sophie did not continue her conversation with him. Instead, she turned her attention back to her book.It is rare for young people to sit quietly with a book in hand these days.Tristan’s fondness for Sophie increased yet again.After
