Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 130 Kneel In Repentance

the past five years? You have always been on my mind. I can’t forget you. Can you please give me another chance? We can leave this city and start a new life somewhere else. Would you like that? I don’t mind doing anything as long as I’m with you.”“Sorry, you might want that but not me. Why would I leave this city? The one in the wrong was never me in the first place.” Sophie turned to Tristan. “I don’t want to go back to the room anymore. Let’s get out of here.”Tristan removed his coat and slid it over her shoulder as he led her to the exit.He said I could go wherever I wanted. However, no one can force me to do anything I don’t want to.Mason was still on his knee even after Tristan and Sophie had left.Willow went over to help him up, but no matter how hard she pulled, he refused to stand.“Mason, let me send you back.” Willow pleaded, “Please don’t do this. Sophie doesn’t want you, but you still have me. I always have my eyes on you. Can’t we just be together?”“I’ve wronged her. I refused to listen to her explanation and just took off when she needed me the most. What do you even see in someone like me?”Mason got up to his feet and left the karaoke bar looking absent-minded.He wasn’t paying attention when he crossed the road, and a car crashed into him.Willow had been right behind him all the while. When she saw the car hit him, she raced over to his side.Her hands were covered with blood when she touched him.“Don’t scare me, Mason! Mason, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Willow almost cried her eyes out.However, Mason merely mumbled, “I’m sorry, Sophie.”Tristan drove to Breakwater Port. The place was deserted, except for the two of them.Silence hung heavy in the car.I have no idea what Mason means to her, but does he really mean nothing to her?Tristan was annoyed at the long silence.“Am I too heartless?” Sophie asked.Tristan reached for her hand to comfort her. His heart ached for everything she had to face in the past.If I had met her earlier, then she wouldn’t have had to face everything alone. She was probably only thirteen to fourteen years old at that time.“No. I agree with every decision you make no matter what you do.” None of those who have hurt her can ask for her forgiveness.Sophie nodded.“I think so too.”“Let’s head back.” It’s getting late, and she still has things to do tomorrow.Sophie nodded.Tristan pulled up in front of the Wisteria Apartments. When Sophie got out of the car, Tristan followed suit.“You can go back.” It’s already so late. He should go back and rest.After taking out an exquisite box from the trunk, Tristan walked over to her.“Merry Christmas!”Sophie took the box from his hand and looked up at him.“Thank you, but I didn’t prepare any gifts for you.”“It’s fine. Meeting you is the best present.”That was how Tristan truly felt.Sophie’s ears warmed at the sweet words coming out of his mouth.“I’ll head up then.”I have always thought I’m strong enough
