Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

“She might feel shy to tell you since she's a girl. Who knows? Maybe she also wants you!”

“That's enough. You can shut up now!” Tristan snapped. I shouldn't have expected anything good to come out of Charles' mouth.

“Mr. Tristan, ignore him. Why don't you tell me your concern? I'm also experienced in love now. Maybe I can help you analyze the situation,” Felix said proudly.

He had waited for over ten years until Ysabelle finally opened her heart to him, so he was on cloud nine every single day.

Tristan cast him a glance.

Felix? What can he possibly analyze? He's a big mess himself!

“Just mind your own business. You've finally become her boyfriend. Don't end up getting dumped.” That was something likely to happen, considering Ysabelle's temper.

“That's impossible! Our relationship is very stable right now. There's no way we will ever break up.”

It would be another story if Ysabelle didn't like him.

However, now that he knew about her feelings for him, he would never break up with her.

“Mr. Tristan, what exactly are you unhappy about?” Sean piped up.

“I feel like she's hiding something from me! As her boyfriend, I don't want her to keep anything from me.”

“I see. What is she hiding from you?” asked Sean as he wondered what important matter it could be.

Tristan shook his head.

“I wouldn't be so troubled if I knew. Do you guys think it's because she doesn't trust me?” Tristan was usually a decisive and strong-minded man, but he had his insecurities when it came to Sophie.

“I don't think this has anything to do with trust. You know Sophie well. She doesn't like depending on others. Even if there's something wrong, she will handle it herself as long as it's within her power. So if you keep dwelling on this matter, you will be the only one unhappy.”

Sean hit the nail on the head again. After all, this had something to do with one's personality.

“I think Sean's words are on point. Sophie is very capable, so she can handle most things herself. She's an independent person, and I don't believe that being in a relationship will change her personality. It's impossible for her to turn to you for every single matter she encounters.”

Since that will never happen, Tristan might as well stop troubling himself.

“Mr. Tristan, I don't get why you're like this. Isn't it great that she can solve her problems on her own? Even though you're dating, you have to give each other some space.” Charles finally provided some useful advice.

Having little experience with romance, Tristan asked, “So you mean this is my problem?”

Sean stated, “Yes. Give each other space. She will tell you when she feels like it.”

Meanwhile, Nicholas threw a fit upon arriving home.

Whenever he thought of Sophie being with Tristan, he just couldn't hold himself back.

His manic episodes were becoming increasingly severe. As the housekeepers watched him, none of them dared to make a sound.

Even Javier, who was inside the room on the second floor, could hear things being shattered. Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything as he was confined in the room.

“What's wrong with him again? Did he get triggered by something?” I've worked so hard to get the Sable family to where it is today, yet everything may be destroyed in Nicholas' hands!

“We don't know,” his subordinate answered. Nicholas was getting more and more aggressive, and most of the time, he could not control his emotions.

“Get the psychiatrist to come. If this goes on, he will ruin the Sable family!”

The Sable family was what Javier cared about the most in his life.

He would never allow Nicholas to bring the Sable family down.

“Old Mr. Sable, you know how Mr. Nicholas is. He listens to no one at the moment. There's no way he'll see a psychiatrist.” It was common for people who were mentally ill to refuse to admit that they were sick.

“If he's sick, he needs to get checked.” Javier had been in denial of this truth before, but now he could no longer sit back and watch.

Otherwise, the Sable family would surely meet its end.

“Send someone to find Sophie. Find a way to bring her to me.” Now that things had come to this point, Javier had to admit that Sophie might be the only one who could solve this problem.

She was the only one Nicholas would listen to.

“Old Mr. Sable, you know what kind of person Sophie is. It's impossible to control her.” They had tried to take her life many times, so it was natural that she would not help them.

“That's why I told you to find a way! Do you think everything in this world is easy? How will you gain anything without even making an effort?” Javier scolded.

His subordinate did not dare to talk back to him.

“Old Mr. Sable, Mr. Nicholas won't even let us leave the house now. So...”

The other people were now under Nicholas' control. He was the only one left by Javier's side.

Hearing that, Javier fell into deep thought.

What should I do to solve this predicament? The key to this matter is Sophie. Maybe everything will end only when she dies.

The living room was in shambles as Nicholas smashed everything that came into sight. It was only after a long time that he finally calmed down.
