Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 274 Showing Off “Caleb, a household staff will always be a household staff. Grandpa has really lost his mind with his age.” Willow disagreed with treating a household staff as part of the family. She did not feel that a household staff had the right to be her family. Caleb pursed his lips in response. He knew that Willow had always been full of herself, but he never expected her to bear such thoughts despite how Morgan had watched her grow up. “Willow—” Caleb started, about to say something else. Knowing that he was going to say something she hated to hear, Willow jumped to her feet. “Caleb, I’ve asked my classmate to hang out with me, so I won’t be home for the meal; enjoy your meal with Mom. Bye.” With that said, Willow scurried off. Soon, Caleb was the only one left in the living room. He could finally understand what it was like to be his grandfather, alone in the afternoon when he and Willow were not around. It was indeed a sad feeling. Tristan had arranged the meal to be held at Blossom Garden. After all, Blossom Garden was a famous spot in Jipsdale. After arriving at Blossom Garden, Sop

hie went to the restroom. Only Tristan, Josiah, and Morgan remained in the private room. Initially, Morgan did not want to sit with them. He was already satisfied with how he could follow Josiah to Blossom Garden and take care of him. However, Tristan and Sophie had both asked him to take a seat and so he did as they said. “Grandpa, who made you upset?” Tristan asked, having noticed Josiah’s foul mood when he picked him up. At the mention of that, Josiah’s expression darkened, thinking Caleb had crossed the line. Regardless of everything, the matter was the Tanner family’s affair. No matter how terrible Caleb was, he was still his grandson. Therefore, Josiah did not wish to tell Tristan about it. “It’s nothing, Tanny. As long as Sophie and you are good, I’m happy. You really have to take good care of our Sophie.” Josiah knew how difficult life was for Sophie in the family. Even though she had older siblings, her siblings never once cared about her. They only knew to request things from her, and they never reflected on their actions. “Don’t worry, Old Mr. Tanner. As long as I’m by her side, I won’t let anyone upset her,” Tristan promised.

Josiah beamed at his reply. “Very well. I like you very much. Although Sophie’s a hard girl to court, trust me, you won’t regret being together with her. She’s a good girl,” Josiah said, for he was particularly doting on Sophie. “Okay, I understand.” Sophie had never let him down, after all. Once Sophie was back, she took a seat beside Josiah. By then, the dishes were served. The food made by Blossom Garden was naturally the best, and Sophie wasted no time taking some for Josiah. “Dig in, Grandpa.” Josiah smiled and nodded. Morgan had initially intended to stay by Josiah’s side to take care of him, but it seemed like his help was unneeded, for Tristan and Sophie were by his side. At the sight of that, Morgan was happy for Josiah. Out of the three children in the Tanner family, Sophie was the most dutiful one. She truly answered every request Josiah made. “Morgan, you should dig in too.”

use the restroom. “Grandpa, let me accompany you there.” “It’s fine; it’s not like I’m a kid. I’m just using the restroom, so you don’t need to come along. Sit down, Morgan. I can go there myself. You don’t need to come with me too.” Josiah refused to admit that his old age came with disadvantages, for he felt fine. “Okay. Be careful. Call me right away if you need any help.” They were in Blossom Garden, a place they frequented. Thus, the employees at Blossom Garden all knew them. There would be no issue for Josiah to walk to the restroom himself. With that, Josiah chuckled and left the room. Once he was out of the restroom and had washed his hands, he turned, about

he sustained on the battlefield, Waylon was a man who feared death. Yet, he still managed to climb up the social ranks with the support of his family. Waylon, too, never expected to meet Josiah at Blossom Garden. Although they used to be comrades, Waylon truly disliked Josiah. Hence, he could not help but laugh when he saw Josiah. “Josiah, didn’t you think the world of yourself back then? How did you end up like this? I heard that your son even tried to kill himself by jumping off a building. Didn’t you say that I didn’t know how to educate my son in the past? Think hard now about who’s the one who doesn’t know how to

wanted to retort Waylon, but he soon felt that it was pointless to do that. After all, why should he waste his breath on someone like Waylon? “Excuse me,” was all Josiah said before he turned to leave. However, Waylon grabbed his hand. “What’s the matter? Our comrades are all in the room today, so come along and meet them. Let them see what kind of miserable state Josiah Tanner is now in!”
