Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 96 I Cannot Wait

a ponytail before going out.Tristan got up from the couch right away when he saw her coming out.The two then went out for dinner.By the time they were done with dinner, one hour had passed.The moment she got back into her room, Ysabelle dashed toward her. “Soph, Uncle Tristan is a…”Ysabelle opened her mouth to speak, but she hesitated. Uncle Tristan is a monster! Do I even have words to describe him?“What’s up with your uncle?” Sophie didn’t know what Ysabelle was trying to say.“Soph, I’m sorry. You wouldn’t have known Uncle Tristan if it had not been for me.” Ysabelle was filled with guilt.“Why are you apologizing to me?”Ultimately, Ysabelle asked, “Soph, did Uncle Tristan take advantage of you?”Despite being a calm and collected person, Sophie couldn’t help but feel surprised. As a result, she kept quiet for a while.“See! I knew it! Since you guys were already sleeping together, there’s no way Uncle Tristan could keep his hands off you. This is all Felix’s fault. If I hadn’t gone out with him, you wouldn’t have…” Ysabelle was on the verge of crying.“Ysabelle, your imagination has run wild, hasn’t it? I forgot to bring my keycard out with me, so I slept in your uncle’s room. That’s all,” Sophie answered. Who would’ve thought Ysabelle would have these dirty thoughts in her mind? She seems so innocent!“Are you sure?” Ysabelle wasn’t convinced.Sophie nodded, and she couldn’t be bothered if Ysabelle believed her or not.“That’s good, then. I was so scared.”Sophie was rendered speechless. What’s so scary?The trip to Koandria lasted for three days and two nights.Since Sophie and Ysabelle were still students, they had only applied for three days’ leave of absence.Although they were reluctant and wished to stay longer, they had to pack up and leave.While they were waiting at the airport, Wendy approached Sophie with a present in her hands.“What’s this?” Sophie asked.“Thank you, Ms. Sophie.” Wendy gave her the present. Wendy was very grateful to Sophie because Sophie stood up for her.At that time, Wendy was utterly frightened. Hence, she felt touched when she saw Sophie defending her bravely.Sophie received the present with both hands. “Thank you.”Upon hearing that, Wendy blushed. Ms. Sophie is awesome!She then cheerily went to sit with Wilma and the others.“Mr. Tristan, it seems like you have another competitor! Ms. Sophie is capable of charming both males and females!”“Of course! Sophie is that appealing,” Ysabelle chimed in.Tristan was rendered speechless.Sophie proceeded to keep the present Wendy had given to her in her luggage.“Wendy, what did you give Ms. Sophie? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for her.”“Stop speaking nonsense, you guys!” Wendy blushed.Wilma just shook her head upon hearing the conversation. Well, Ms. Sophie is very capable of making people fall for her.By the time they arrived at Jipsdale, it was already past eleven at night, and Tristan personally sent her back to Wisteria Apartments.“Go to sleep early tonight,” he said.“Okay.”In fact, Tristan was reluctant to leave. Although we’ve spent the past three days together, I want more. If only I could have known her a few years earlier.“Goodnight.” With that, Sophie was about to head inside.Tristan reached out and held her hand. When she turned around, he pulled her into his embrace.“Sophie, I can’t wait for you to grow up.”The next day, at noon, Sophie hailed a taxi and went to the hospital after school.However, she found out that Josiah wasn’t in the ward anymore.Upon asking around, she was told that Josiah had already gone home.Sophie was feeling utterly helpless. This old man doesn’t listen, does he?Sophie then hailed a taxi to go to the Tanner residence.When Charmaine saw her come home, she immediately got the housekeeper to pour Sophie a glass of water.“You’re back, Soph! Drink some water first. Your grandpa is in the study!”Due to how well Transfix Cosmetics was doing, there was a big possibility that Sophie would end up becoming the CEO of Tanner Group. Hence, Charmaine’s attitude toward Sophie changed drastically.No matter what, Sophie was still her daughter. If Tanner Group were to end up in Sophie’s hands, Charmaine would still need Sophie’s help in the future.“I’m not thirsty.” Sophie went straight to the study, only to find Josiah practicing calligraphy.Upon seeing her, Josiah put his pen aside and asked concernedly, “You’re back! Have you eaten?”“Grandpa, why didn’t you listen to me? Didn’t I tell you to stay in the hospital? I’ve just been away for three days, and you went home all by yourself.” Sophie was displeased.Still smiling, Josiah replied,
