Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 662

Chapter 662 Premarital Pregnancy

“Why don't we go about it this way? Since you and Sophie have decided to be an item, you should arrange for your mother and me to meet with her parents!”

He'd conclude that it'd be best for them to make their relationship official as he knew he couldn't change anything and wished to have grandchildren soon.

Both Tristan and Sophie, as well as Sarah, were taken aback by his announcement.

“Dad, you've come to terms with it?” Sarah was pleasantly surprised as it had turned out far better than expected.

“Of course, I have. I always do. Jennifer seemed like a nice kid. Little did I expect her to end up in such a state. Well, I suppose we can't blame her for it.”

“Why, Dad, you've always been wise, fair, and the most democratic person I've ever met. The absolute best father in the world!” Sarah flattered him in an attempt to distract William from anger.

She dared not cause any more contention for Tristan and Sophie now that he had relented at long last.

Tristan had not foreseen the old-fashioned William to be so pliant and had resolved to move out with Sophie.

“Dad, are you certain?”

“Tristan, what's with all of you second-guessing my decisions? Are my words that incomprehensible, or am I spouting gibberish?” William said gruffly to hide his slight embarrassment.

Tristan held onto Sophie's hand.

“All right. I'll arrange for you to meet Sophie's parents as soon as possible.” No matter what, he and Sophie would be together forever. A meeting between their parents would seal the deal and make things official.

“This was the reason I decided to visit you. I'll be taking my leave now. I know how keen all of you want me to be gone.” William got to his feet.

I must seem like a horrible villain in their eyes.

Nonetheless, is there anything I've done wrong? All I did was for their own good.

“Dad, since the weather is rather inclement today, why not stay over tonight instead of traveling back and forth? There are extra rooms in the mansion for you to stay in anyway.”

There was indeed no point in such a hassle.

The flames of William's fury were stoked even further.


How self-serving of them!

Now that they'd had their way, their attitude had taken on a complete 180 compared to their hostility when he'd newly arrived.

William had no idea what the point of bringing up his son was when all he did was infuriate him.

“Tristan, why didn't you extend your invitation sooner? You're as practical as the rest.” William fumed. “Just because you ask me to doesn't mean I'll do as you say.”

“Tristan, why didn't you extend your invitation sooner? You're as practical as the rest.” William fumed. “Just because you ask me to doesn't mean I'll do as you say.”

I am no pushover!

Besides, it was inconvenient for him to stay here, and he preferred going back to his place since he was more familiar with it.

“Dad, didn't you miss Tristan? Since he's happy to let you stay the night, let's do as he says and not trouble ourselves going back and forth.” It was getting rather late, and William was no longer a young man. It would be unnecessary for them to travel back as the journey would take an hour.

“No. I feel more comfortable staying at my own place.”

However, William had plans of his own.

“Come over here, Tristan. There are several things I would like to instruct you.”

William directed his gaze toward Sophie when Tristan did not budge.

“What is it? Am I not even allowed to speak with him privately for a bit?”

Sophie was stunned.

Have I done something wrong?

Haven't I been keeping my mouth shut? Why is Old Mr. Lombard directing his fury at me? Tristan was rendered speechless at the helpless look on Sophie's face.

“Dad, what do you think you're doing? I'll do as you say. There's no point getting all worked up!”

Such hubbub was totally unwarranted.

Couldn't Dad be slightly more pleasant after approving our relationship? Why does he have to be so difficult?

Sarah and Sophie were the only ones left in the living room after Tristan and William excused themselves.

Sarah took a seat next to Sophie.

“My dad may be bad-tempered, but he bears no ill intentions. I hope you won't take his words to heart.” It seemed like people tended to behave like children as they become older.

Perhaps it was due to loneliness.

They so often wish for their opinions to be heeded by their children.

In fact, there was nothing wrong in hoping to receive more care and attention from one's children.

“Rest assured, Sarah. I understand.” Sophie was fairly indifferent about it.

Naturally, she was delighted to have been approved by William, although she didn't mind not having it either since it wouldn't affect her.

After all, William was Tristan's father. She did not like seeing him being put in a difficult position if his father continued disapproving of them.

All in all, she still hoped his family would give them their blessings.

Sarah hooked her arm around Sophie's shoulders.

“Now that you've gotten Dad's approval, it'd be best for you to schedule a date for a meeting between both our parents. You should keep them in the know, after all.”
