Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 152 Good Luck

I really can’t stop worrying about you.” She isn’t even of age yet. If I leave, she’ll be all alone, and I can’t rest in peace.“Grandpa, you said that you want to watch me get married. Are you going to go back on your words?” she asked. It was an urgent matter, and this was the only way she could persuade him.“Soph…” What decision should I make? A beat later, Josiah said, “Okay.

He knew that Josiah had always dotted on Sophie, but he never thought that Josiah would still heed Sophie even
