Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 170 I Like You This Way

her leftover mashed potatoes instead of the untouched barbecue skewers.After both of them exited the restaurant and got into the car, they saw Willow and Clayton appear in front of it.When Sophie was certain the lady beside Clayton was Willow, she couldn’t resist snorting in laughter.Isn’t she in love with Mason? What changed? Does she not fancy him anymore after what happened to his leg? That aside, why is Clayton with her?The fact that Clayton was behind the assassination attempts on Tristan wasn’t lost upon her.At the same time, Tristan’s expression darkened.There’s no reason for Clayton and Willow to be in the same social setting. Now that he has her by his side, what is he planning? Who is he targeting?Tristan didn’t forget the incident outside Blossom Garden, where Clayton discovered how special Sophie was to him.Therefore, he suspected that Sophie was the reason why Clayton had Willow by his side.As Sophie watched Willow, the latter, in turn, saw her and noticed the way Sophie was looking at her. As a result, Willow cracked a smug smile.Is Sophie already jealous when I haven’t even done anything? All I’m doing is show up by Clayton’s side. In that case, wouldn’t she rage in jealous envy if Clayton and I really got together?Taking her attention off Willow, Sophie wound up the window to screen the latter out from her mind.I don’t care what happens to Willow, but now that I control the Tanner family, there’s no way I’m going to let her harm the family’s interest.It went without saying that Clayton, too, saw Tristan and Sophie.

Let’s…” Willow offered herself to him. Since he kept her by his side, she was certain of his desire for her.After all, it wouldn’t make sense for a man to do that and not lust after the lady, especially one that was of the nubile age of nineteen.For someone like Clayton, it would be impossible for him to resist.When Clayton checked the time, he realized that it really was getting late.In truth, even though Willow’s beauty was undeniable, Sophie’s presence made her look ordinary, smoldering any lust that he initially harbored for the former.“It’s getting late. Your parents must be worried. I’ll get the driver to send you home.”“Clayton, I don’t feel like going home. Where are you going? Let me come with you. My parents are busy these few days, so they don’t have time to bother about me.”Since the opportunity for her to stay by his side didn’t come by easily, she was reluctant to leave just like that.“Clayton, I—”Willow swallowed her words.She was willing to sacrifice anything as long as she could stay by Clayton’s side, even if it meant giving herself to him.Suddenly, Clayton grabbed her chin.“I heard that you and your sister fancied Mr. Mason, and now, you’ve already changed your mind? How long has it just been since he was hospitalized? Willow, are your feelings for me really sincere? How are you going to prove it?”Despite the pain from his brutish grip, Willow had no choice but to maintain her longing stare at him.“Clayton, before I met you, I always assumed that I liked Mason’s type.
