Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 822

Chapter 822 Fainting

She had no right to expect such of Sophie when even she, as a mother, could not do so.

Charmaine was at a loss for words.

“Caleb, I'm sure this isn't what Mom meant. This is the first time you've been back in a while. I'm sure she's just worried about you.”

Willow hurriedly spoke up for Charmaine.

Caleb almost couldn't bear acknowledging the person Willow had turned into.

She had always been the vainest of them all. Despite being only twenty years of age, she now resembled a woman a decade older from the rural countryside.

No matter what had happened, his heart ached for Willow, and he couldn't find it within himself to continue chastising her.

“Willa, now that I'm back and our family is whole, stop involving yourself in such a mess in the future. Let's cherish the time we have together and let bygones be bygones. It doesn't matter who was in the wrong. The most important thing is our happiness as a family.”

“I understand, Caleb. Don't worry. I get where you're coming from.” She hoped never to experience life on the remote island ever again.

Sophie was someone she could not afford to offend.

She finally understood that after everything that she'd gone through.

“Caleb, you should get some rest. I'll be preparing a scrumptious dinner later.” Despite being unhappy with Caleb's attitude, Charmaine didn't want to cause tension in their relationship, as it was a rare occasion that he returned.

On the other hand, Sophie was occupied with work until eleven at night and only saw Tristan's text message while taking a break.

She replied: “Thank you.” Just then, she saw someone smoking on the balcony. She walked toward him and asked for a joint, which she placed in her mouth.

“Do you need a lighter?”

The man inquired after noting that her cigarette remained unlit.

She shook her head.

She did not like smoking. However, she was so stressed that she'd settle for inhaling the tobacco scent.

Sophie was an outstandingly gorgeous woman. At that moment, she was dressed in a lab coat while languidly resting her arms on the railing.
