Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 96 I Cannot Wait

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, “Calm down, Soph. I’m fine, really. I’m doing fine.”Sophie was speechless because she didn’t know how to handle Josiah.“By the way, Transfix Cosmetics is doing well, right? Keep an eye on your dad, okay? It seems like he has not given up yet.”“Grandpa, I’ve said it before. Since you’ve already decided to let me manage Transfix Cosmetics, you should leave it to me.”“It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that your dad… He’s…”Josiah was upset when he mentioned his only son.“I’ll get you a few bodyguards,” he added. Of course, he did not hope anything happened to Sophie that might require the bodyguards’ help, but they could keep her safe if Yale were to do something to her.Sophie was also well aware of what the despicable Yale was capable of doing.“Don’t worry, Grandpa! I can take care of myself.”“I can’t help it, Soph. Do you blame me? If it were not for me, you wouldn’t be in danger.”Indeed, it was selfish of him to let an eighteen-year-old girl deal with such matters.“Grandpa, I would never blame you.”After lunch, the driver sent Sophie and Willow back to school.“You’re happy now, aren’t you, Sophie?”Since there were only the three of them in the car, Willow didn’t bother putting up an innocent front. Besides, she knew the driver was on her side.Sophie had her eyes shut and ignored her.“Sophie, do you hear me? So what if you’ve saved Transfix Cosmetics? What’s so impressive about that? If someone were to give me an opportunity like that, I can also achieve what you’ve achieved,” Willow added.Finally, Sophie opened her eyes, and she shot Willow a look casually. “You should request to manage a company that’s on the verge
