Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 163 A Hug

the ward.Sophie said nothing and allowed him to take her out.“Mr. Tristan, where will we go on a date?” Sophie joked. She was obviously in a jovial mood.“As long as I’m with you, it doesn’t matter where we go.” Sophie was joking, but Tristan was serious. Everything that concerned Sophie was his top priority.As his gaze was too serious, Sophie didn’t know how to respond.Right then, she noticed it was snowing outside.After she left for Horington, she hadn’t seen any snow for five years.Tristan realized she was staring at the snow and led her out.Outside the hospital, Sophie flashed a grin at the sight of the falling snow.It had been ages since she last seen a snowy scene.Stretching her hand out, she watched as a snowflake landed on her palm and melted.It was snowing heavily. A while later, her head and shoulders were full of snowflakes.Tristan helped her put on the hood on her head.Looking up, Sophie met his adoring gaze that threatened to drown her.“Is it cold?” Tristan asked.“Not really.” Sophie rubbed her hands. She had the urge to build a snowman, but the snow wasn’t thick enough.“I’m cold,” Tristan told her. Before she could react, he hugged her.Opening his coat, he pulled her into his embrace.That was the first time someone had ever hugged Sophie. Her cheeks burned, and she couldn’t stop her heart from racing.The snow kept falling, and the scenery was gorgeous, but Sophie was no longer enjoying the scenery.

Thanks for supporting me,” Tristan lied through his teeth calmly.Sophie rolled her eyes in exasperation. Forget it. He can say whatever he likes as he’s handsome. I shall stay quiet.They soon arrived at the ward that was heated. Sophie could finally warm herself up.She stood in front of the window and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery outside. The scene outside was very much to her liking.Tristan helped her to take off her down jacket. He shook off the snow and hung it up.Josiah’s surgery was tomorrow, so Sophie was overcome by uneasiness. She couldn’t help but grow annoyed by the feeling.However, she couldn’t disturb Josiah, for he was most probably asleep then.“What’s wrong? You look worried. Is it about your grandpa?” Tristan asked gently.She needs to calm down. Alas, she’s too involved to realize it. Old Mr. Tanner matters a lot to her, so she can’t calm down now.“Yes.” If it was someone else were to ask this question, Sophie wouldn’t have poured her thoughts out. Since it was Tristan who posed the question, there was no need for her to hide her feelings. “I’m very worried about him.”Hearing that, Tristan
