Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 107 What Is Her Relationship To Him

nodded as though in agreement. “But would you dare repeat what you’ve just said to Mr. Tristan? Why don’t you tell him that, and ask him to stop pestering me? To be honest, I’m still very undecided about whether I want to be with him! Now that you’ve mentioned it, it got me thinking whether I should seriously consider our possibilities.”“Haha. Mr. Tristan, pestering you? I’m genuinely shocked, Sophie, by how far you’d go in making such outrageous claims.”Sophie was generally unenthused about continuing with this exchange.“You should know better than anyone whether there’s any truth to it.
