Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 178 Scooting Away

life again.” No matter what, this matter shall end here.“It doesn’t matter to me.”After saying that, Sophie left with Tristan.Bailey stared at their backs. The man was tall and handsome, giving off a sense of intense dependability. The girl, on the other hand, was cold in nature, but she exuded a sense of warmth before the man.So, she… likes him? Nothing I say or do will make any difference.“Whitlea came to bother you again.” It looks like she’s been too free recently. I can keep her occupied.“Yeah. You know the kind of person she is. Once something doesn’t progress according to her plan, she’ll definitely make trouble.” Frankly speaking, Sophie really didn’t have anything good to say about Whitlea.“Well, be careful about Clayton these days. Whitlea isn’t much of a threat, but Clayton is truly irritating.”“Okay, I got it. You don’t need to worry about me.”Sophie knew that Clayton wasn’t a good man, and she might be the reason he was hooking up with Willow.Alas, Willow was exceedingly confident, so she wouldn’t believe whatever Sophie said.The two of them went back to Wisteria Apartments together. Sophie went for a bath while Tristan took out his laptop and settled Lombard Group’s business matters.When Sophie came out after her bath, she saw the man answering his emails while reclining against the couch. He was incredibly focused, so much so that she couldn’t take her eyes off him. He’s too perfect!“It’s very late. Are you going home?” She really didn’t mean anything else when she said that. She was merely asking an innocent question.From the look in his eyes, however, she knew that he had obviously misunderstood her.“I didn’t mean anything else. Just carry on.”Forget it. He’s a man overflowing with testosterone in the first place, so he’ll give others such an illusion even if he does nothing at all.Taking her hand, Tristan pulled her into his arms.“What’s wrong? Is it very tricky?” It was the first time Sophie had ever seen him toiling at something.“It’s still manageable.” But it’s just rather troublesome. Truth be told, it wasn’t that easy to eliminate Clayton, as the foundations of the organizations in Jipsdale were deep-rooted and their networks were intricate. In fact, it was extremely challenging.Seeing that he was seemingly exhausted, Sophie reached out and gently massaged his temples.“This feels good!” Tristan couldn’t help sighing. He lay down and rested his head on her long and slender legs, allowing her to massage him.Closing his eyes, he luxuriated in her tenderness at that moment.Without realizing it, he drifted off to sleep.As Sophie gazed at the man who had fallen asleep on her lap, a sense of unprecedented peace suffused her. Such a feeling made her feel reluctant to lose it.She was aware that it was very late then, so she should wake him up and have him go home. Then, she could also go to bed.However, she couldn’t bring herself to do so at the sight of his peaceful expression. Instead, she wanted to wallow in such warmth and never wake up.When Tristan woke up after sleeping for a little over half an hour, he saw Sophie dozing with her back against the couch. Her hands were still resting against his temples.At that particular moment, he could no longer hold back. He propped up
