Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 240 Fight
“What are you doing? Where is my dad? Where did you bring him to?” Yale was genuinely anxious at that instant.
The secretary shoved Yale aside.
“Stay away from me in the future.” That man is none other than Tristan Lombard. An instruction from him is sufficient to ruin my life.
Dumbstruck, Yale slumped to the floor.
Am I really doomed? Have I truly lost all my chances and possessions?
Meanwhile, at Tristan’s mansion, Sophie took a nap inside Tristan’s room.
However, she did not sleep soundly. Resting in a hypnagogic state of consciousness, she immediately woke up when Tristan entered the room.
“Is my grandpa awake?”
Tristan walked to the side of the bed and helped her brush her stray strands of hair.
“Yes. Old Mr. Tanner is awake, and he’s having his afternoon tea. Let’s go. We’ll accompany him to have his meal.” Tristan was there to invite Sophie to join Josiah.
“Okay.”
She got up and followed Tristan out of the room. Josiah was very contented at the amicable sight of the couple approaching him together.
They are indeed a match made in heaven. I can honestly rest assured with Tristan by Soph’s side.
“Did you rest well, Grandpa?” Sophie asked concernedly.
“I had a good rest. Come over here and join me for a meal. Let’s have some food and go back home, so the others are not worried.”
No matter what, Josiah would demand an explanation from Yale because of what the latter did. Josiah was not letting that matter slide.
“Okay.”
Tristan and Sophie sat beside Josiah and accompanied the old man to have his afternoon tea. Josiah’s appetite was good as he consumed a considerable amount of food.

Still, Sophie was worried that overeating would affect his health, so he stopped eating after she persuaded him.
“Let’s go.”
Josiah tried his best to put up a more relaxed appearance but to no avail.
After all, anyone would be furious after experiencing something like that.
Sophie went to help Josiah up.
“Don’t be mad, Grandpa. Getting too worked up is bad for your health.” She was ready to assist her grandpa in executing whatever was necessary after he made the decision, so there was no need for him to be angry.
“Soph, this is a problem I must take care of. I hope you can understand that there are some matters I cannot let you handle entirely.”
Yale is my son, and part of the reason contributing to his current vile behavior is my failure to educate him.
“Okay. I promise you. I will support whatever decision you make.” Ultimately, Josiah was the head of the family.
“I’ll tag along.” Tristan wished to stay by Sophie’s side and face the situation with her when dealing with that predicament.
“Tanny, I know you are a kind boy, but this is still the Tanner family’s matter. Therefore, there’s no need for you to be there.”
Josiah wished to preserve the last of his pride and dignity.
Tristan grasped Sophie’s hand.
Grandpa still thinks of him as an outsider. It seems like there is still room for improvement for Tristan.
“That’s right. You don’t have to go. I’ll take care of this.” Sophie blamed herself for allowing Yale to take Josiah away. This time, I’ll make sure to protect Grandpa well.
“All right. Allow me to send you back then. Remember to contact me no matter what happens. I’ll be there at any time.”
Tristan was actually quite delighted because Sophie had thought of him when that incident occurred.
He hoped that she would always be reminded of him regardless of the circumstances in the future.
Josiah did not refuse Tristan’s offer since the latter was just going to send them back to the Tanner residence.
Tristan personally drove to send Josiah back to the Tanner residence. Upon their arrival, Sophie opened the car door and helped Josiah to get out of the vehicle.
Morgan was already waiting outside the house at that moment after he received a call from Sophie in advance. He felt guilt-ridden for losing Josiah.
Hence, at the sight of Josiah, Morgan hastily jogged up to him.
“Old Mr. Tanner, I’m sorry. This is all my fault.” After serving the Tanner family for so many years, Morgan could not believe he would commit such a blunder, so he was not able to forgive himself for the error.
“Morgan, this is not your fault. You don’t have to feel guilty.” Josiah was sure that his incapability to handle his family matters led to the incident, so Morgan had nothing to do with that issue.
“Old Mr. Tanner, you—” Morgan knew Josiah was upset, but he did not know how to comfort the latter.
Yale did cross the line this time. His actions have really disappointed us greatly.
Morgan helped Josiah to enter the house, leaving only Sophie and Tristan outside.
“You should go back now. I’ll call you later.” Sophie could not spare her attention entertaining Tristan at that moment because she had her family matter to attend to.
“Remember to call me once you’ve settled everything.”
In fact, he yearned to go into the house with her, but he knew she would forbid him from doing so. As a result, Tristan had no choice but to leave.
“I got it. Drive safely on your way back.”
As long as Josiah was safe, Sophie was not afraid of anything else and had the confidence to deal with the ongoing situation.
Tristan gave her a gentle hug.
“Bear in mind that you are not alone. I’ll always have your back,” he uttered emotionally.
