Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 163 A Hug

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. She only had eyes for Tristan.“Let’s head in. My feet are freezing.” No matter how pretty the snow was, one would freeze after standing in the cold for too long.“Mm.” They both turned to leave. Sophie wanted to walk alone, but Tristan refused to let go of her hand. He gripped her hand tightly.“Mr. Tristan, let me walk alone.”“The road is too slippery, and I’m afraid I’ll fall.

That was one thing he could promise her.“Hm.” Sophie leaned onto his chest quietly and fiddled with the corner of his shirt.Right then, someone knocked at the door. Tristan released Sophie and went over to answer the door.Arius was standing outside. He let out an icy snort after seeing Tristan there.“Aren’t you busy, Mr. Tristan? Why are you spending your days in the hospital? Do you want to be a doctor?” he mocked. Tristan was feared by many, but he was an exception.
