Chapter 99 Look Into Him

back to the private room, she sat in her initial seat.“Is everything okay? Why were you gone for so long, Soph?” Ysabelle was just about to go look for her.“I’m fine.” Sophie didn’t want to reveal much.Dissatisfied, Felix asked, “Belle, are you serious? Sophie had only gone to the restroom. Why would you want to follow her there?”“What does it have to do with you? It’s none of your business.”Felix was hurt. What do you mean it’s none of my business? I’m concerned about everything you do!After the meal, they left the private room.Sophie and Ysabelle were standing by the roadside while waiting for Tristan and Felix to bring their cars around.“Soph, the final exam is coming up. What are your plans after the final exam?” Ysabelle asked. Although it’s just a short break, it’s better than none!“I’m going back to Horington.” Sophie had unfinished business in Horington. I’ve promised to pay Wings of Light a visit, and I haven’t done that yet. Come to think of it, I still have a lot of things to attend to over there.“What are you going to do in Horington? Can I tag along?” Even though the winter break would only last for less than a fortnight, Ysabelle was unwilling to separate from Sophie.“Sophie, we need to talk.” Suddenly, Mason showed up.Sophie couldn’t help but frown when she heard his voice. Why is he still here?Ysabelle looked at Mason curiously. This man is quite good-looking. Upon a closer look, he looks quite similar to Uncle Tristan. However, they possess different auras. This man is gentle and elegant, while Uncle Tristan is domineering and ruthless.“Mason, we don’t have anything to talk about,” Sophie said. We should just let bygones be bygones.“Sophie!” Mason thought Sophie was just throwing a tantrum.Right then, Tristan arrived in his car, and he shot a glance at Mason.“Soph, Uncle Tristan is here,” Ysabelle uttered.“Okay.”Mason saw Tristan in the car, and he kept sizing Tristan up. Who’s this man? What’s his relationship with Sophie?“Sophie, we need to have a talk in private,” Mason repeated.“Mason, I have nothing to do with you, so there’s nothing to talk about. I’m leaving.” Sophie opened the car door and was about to hop in.All of a sudden, Mason grabbed her hand and refused to let her leave.Tristan was infuriated when he saw that. He wants to lose his hand, doesn’t he?“Must you do this? No matter what, we’re still friends, aren’t we?” Mason asked.“I’m your friend? I’m not worthy of being your friend, Mr. Mason Laird.” Sophie pulled her hand away from him aggressively.“Don’t ever look for me again! You’re disgusting!” After saying those vicious words, Sophie got into the car and closed the car door.By then, Felix had also arrived, so Ysabelle got into his car as well.After that, both the cars drove past Mason and left.Upon seeing that, Mason narrowed his eyes.Indeed, five years ago, I wavered because of the rumors about her, but I regret it now. Throughout my three years in Anglandur, there wasn’t a single day gone by that I didn’t think of her. In fact, the memories seemed even clearer as time goes by.That was why he came back, and he was determined to hold on to her this time around. However, how can I forget about how unforgiving Sophie is? Surely, she’s not going to just accept me so easily. Also, I need time to deal with my relationship with Willow. Basically, this time around, I’m not going to believe a word anyone says. I’ll stand by Sophie’s side and not let anyone hurt her.Sophie was silent as they drove back.Meanwhile, Tristan was also focused on the road, and neither of them said a word to each other throughout the journey back.When they finally arrived at Wisteria Apartments, Tristan refused to leave.“What’s wrong?” Sophie spoke at long last.“May I go in and have a glass of water?” Tristan knew how lame his excuse was, but he couldn’t be bothered.Since she hasn’t agreed to be my girl, I can’t ask her to tell me anything if she doesn’t want to do that.Nonetheless, he was still reluctant to leave.He simply wanted to stay by her side.Sophie scanned her fingerprint, and the door opened. As she was walking in, Tristan was following closely behind.Tristan never thought he would be acting so cautiously in front of a girl.Sophie then poured him a glass of hot water. “Here.”Tristan took the glass and took a sip.“Isn’t the water hot?” she asked puzzledly when she saw him drinking it right away.“It’s hot.”“Mr. Tristan, are you all right?” That was the first time she had seen him being so absent-minded.“I’m all right.”Tristan
