Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 104 Bridal Carry

what happened.” As they were on the school grounds, the school administration had to take responsibility in the event a student was hurt.“Mason, I’m really scared. I thought I would really die.”His heart softened when he saw how violently Willow was shaking. Mason then carried her in his arms.“I’ll send you to the hospital first. We’ll talk about it after you get examined.”As Willow wrapped her arms around his neck, Mason brought her downstairs.“Mason, don’t leave me. I’m afraid when I’m alone.”Mason didn’t answer, as he could never give her what she truly desired.When the students saw the dashing Mason carry Willow away, they gossiped amongst themselves.“Oh my God! He’s really handsome!”“Don’t you know? He used to be a legend in Jipsdale Premier High. I heard that he and Willow are a couple!”“Mmm-hmm. I was told of it too. I even heard that Sophie also fancies Mason.”“Sophie must be dreaming. He’s out of her league!”“Precisely. Mason and Willow are a match made in heaven!”“I’m so envious of her bridal carry! I wish I was the one in his arms.”“Say, why would Willow get hurt? Could it be that Sophie hurt her? Sophie has been jealous of her, hasn’t she?”“I think Sophie must be the one who hurt her. Just a while ago, you missed how terrified Willow looked.”“Sophie is really wicked. Who does she think she is?”“All of you should shut up. I’ll smack whoever that makes another sound.”Ysabelle could no longer tolerate the harsh comments.Who the f*ck is Mason? There’s no way Soph is interested in him. Uncle Tristan is way better than him!“Ysabelle, you had better stay away from her. Look, she even dares to strike her own sister.”“Shut your trap.”Ysabelle was incompetent at verbal insults. Hence, that was the best she could manage out of her limited vocabulary.Meanwhile, Sophie came over and swept a calm gaze across the girls.“Mason? Not my cup of tea.” With that, she held Ysabelle’s arm and left.“Soph, don’t mind their words.” Ysabelle was worried that the snide remarks would hurt her.Even though Sophie had nerves of steel, Ysabelle still sympathized with her upon hearing the comments.“Mmm-hmm. I’m not bothered by them. Besides, they were not wrong. I was the one who roughed up Willow,” she bravely admitted.“It was because of me, wasn’t it?” Ysabelle, too, felt that Willow had it coming.“I just can’t bear the sight of her. Anyway, let’s get back to class.” After Sophie helped Ysabelle back to the classroom, the fourth period began.Upon hearing the news of Willow being hurt, Yale and Charmaine rushed over.Both of them heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of Mason.Ever since Mason returned, his attitude toward Willow was colder than before, causing them to worry that their relationship had taken a turn for the worse.But now that he was by Willow’s side, it was a sign that he still cared for her.“Thank you, Mason.”Mason merely nodded before making way for them.“Willa, what happened? How did you get hurt?”“Mom, it’s Soph. I have no idea why she did this to me.”“What? Sophie? That’s audacious of her!” Yale bellowed. “What in the world is she trying to do?”“Dad, I’m as clueless as you are!”Willow put on an innocent look as she sneaked a glance in Mason’s direction, hoping to learn his thoughts about the matter.However, all she could see was a frown on his face.“Willow, I’m sure there must be a misunderstanding. I know Sophie isn’t capable of such a thing.”“Mason, why don’t you believe me? Are you saying that I’m making false accusations against her?” Willow was on the brink of tears.
