Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 247 You Smell So Good “What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?” To be honest, because of the place Sophie held in Tristan’s heart, all of them tended to tread very cautiously around her, even with the words they spoke. “No. You’re overthinking,” Sophie replied calmly. What is this disappointment that I am feeling? Shouldn’t it be a good thing that he likes me because I am special? Charles refrained from saying anything more when he saw how she reacted and walked over to sit down beside Sean instead. “What exactly is love, Sean? How could it bring about such a dramatic change in a person?” Mr. Tristan must have reached the state where he is completely infatuated with Sophie, hasn’t he? “If a man who surrounds himself with women all day long could not understand it, then how would someone like me who is only capable of tackling court cases know any better?” If he was honest with himself, he found love to be something that was quite intimidating.

That got him wondering what would become of him should he one day encounter a woman who could bring him onto his knees. “Honestly, I quite envy Mr. Tristan. He’s just so outstanding in every respect.” To him, that sort of man was simply the stuff of envy. “Yeah, you got that right!” For someone who is as busy as Mr. Tristan is to meet a girl that he could fall instantly in love with within such a turbulent society, doesn’t that make him enviable? Charles raised his glass to clink it against Sean’s. “To us then. A toast to the single dudes!” Sean did not respond to that as he did not really consider that to be anything worth celebrating. Every time he arrived alone at home after a long day at work, Sean had very much wished to be in the company of someone who understood him. “What’s wrong?” Ysabelle immediately felt something amiss the moment she saw Sophie drinking. If Winter wasn’t even able to affect her, what could it be this time? “Have one.” Sophie passed a glass along to Ysabelle as well. “Why? Are you in a bad mood? Seriously, Sophie, you shouldn’t care what Winter says because I like you very much.” Ysabelle received the alcohol Sophie passed along and took a sip from it. Finding the taste to her liking, she went on to take in another mouthful. “No. I wasn’t bothered by Winter.” An awkward silence ensued. “Great!” Our Soph is simply that unflappable, but Winter might probably throw a fit if she heard her say that.

just drink away. I’m already old enough to do that anyway.” Sophie clinked glasses with her. Truth be told, drinking was not something that she particularly enjoyed, but on the odd occasion, she did feel that a little drop could help take the edge off. “What’s up with Sophie? Hasn’t Mr. Tristan forbidden her from drinking?” Felix got a bit of a shock when he saw Sophie and Ysabelle knocking it back. Mr. Tristan had just gone to the restroom, and Sophie is already drinking. He thus wondered whether they would receive the blame for not keeping an eye on her when he returned. “She’s already a grown person, so what harm can a bit of booze possibly do to her? Stop overreacting.” Charles clinked glasses with Felix once more. By the time Tristan returned, Sophie and Ysabelle had already finished half a bottle of whiskey. He glared at the three grown men at the side in reproach for their inaction toward the two girls who were guzzling away in front of them. “It’s not that

Sophie clinked his glass. “Chill out! I can hold my liquor quite well.” Tristan was stumped. Is that even the point? What he really wanted to know was why she was drinking in the first place. Nevertheless, since he was around, he thought that it would be fine for her to imbibe. Albeit just a little. Initially, it was just the three of them, but when Felix and company saw Tristan joining in, they too, shifted themselves over to partake in it. Ysabelle, who was less seasoned than the rest of them, hit her limit after only a few glasses. The drunken Ysabelle was relatively

drinking as much as she did, there was nary a flush on her cheeks. “We should be heading back!” seeing that Ysabelle was already drunk, Sophie whispered softly into Tristan’s ears. “Yeah.” Owing to the amount of drinking he and Sophie did, Tristan opted to leave the chauffeuring to the driver. The others, too, called the drivers from their own families. “Take care of Ysabelle.” Tristan entrusted her to Felix. “Don’t you worry, Mr. Tristan! She’s always the one who picks on me, and not the other way around.” Felix was somewhat exasperated at how things played out, as he had initially wanted to take Ysabelle out to catch a movie. He never expected her to become intoxicated. When the driver brought the car over, Tristan opened the door for Sophie to get in first before he followed after her. “Where to, Mr. Tristan?” The driver was unsure where Tristan wanted to go. “To Wisteria Apartments.” Tristan leaned his head onto Sophie’s shoulder the minute he got in, causing Sophie to glare at him. “What’s up with you?” “Got a bit of a headache.” Sophie was stumped because she knew Tristan to be
