Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 122 What A Bummer

at him in disbelief.“Sophie isn’t that sort of person, so someone must be messing with her behind her back.” Convinced that it was his lack of trust in Sophie five years ago that led to the present-day circumstances, he thus decided that five years later on this very day, he was going to stand by her no matter what.Hearing that from him only left Willow even more infuriated.Does he really trust her that much?Ignoring her, Mason continued into Nocturnal.As much as Willow wanted to follow, she found herself stopped at the door by the security.“No entry without a valid ID card, miss.”“I’m of legal age.” Willow was actually older than Sophie by a year and only had to take a year off from school because of poor health. That meant that she was already nineteen.“Sorry. You’re in uniform, so without the proper documentation to ascertain your age, we cannot allow you in.”Willow was irate, but since she was unable to do anything about them, she could only keep standing there.By the time Mason exited Nocturnal, it was already two past midnight.Owing to having one drink too many, he opted not to drive and hailed a ride over to Wisteria Apartments instead.The minute he got on, Willow, too, hired a car in pursuit, as seeing how drunk he was got her concerned that he might wind up in a sticky situation.What she had not expected was that his destination turned out to be Wisteria Apartments.After standing below the apartments for the entire night, Willow took ill the next day.When Charmaine saw the state her daughter was in, she poured a glass of warm water and also brought her some medicine.“Where were you last night?

I wasn’t scolding you, silly girl. I’m just concerned! You’re to be married to Mason in the future, you know!”That got Willow bawling even more loudly.“What’s this about? Did Mason mistreat you?”“Would I really get to marry Mason, Mom?” She was not at all optimistic about this prospect at the moment.“Isn’t it why you’ve been working so hard all these years? To be married to Mason? Seeing how fond Mrs. Laird is of you, he surely must marry you.”Willow was not as confident of this. What would all the preparations she put together count for, with everything else that had gone down?In the end, the decision still laid with Mason himself.In order to get Sophie expelled, Whitlea purposefully called for a board meeting.It had been a while since such a meeting had been convened in Jipsdale Premier High, and even less expectedly, for the purpose of expelling a student.A dozen directors had already arrived inside the conference room.“All this over a case of expulsion, Mr. Langston? What’s the point of making such a big deal of it, really? Why don’t you just go ahead yourself and get it over with?”“Yeah! You should know
