Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 873 Surgery

Noticing that her boss was still busy, the secretary dared not disturb him further. She had no choice but to leave and close the door behind her.

“You'll know just how capable I am after we're married,” Tristan said.

Why is he being such a pervert all of a sudden?

“What are you doing now?” Tristan asked with concern. As Sophie had a theoretical assessment in the morning and a practical test in the afternoon, she couldn't go home at noon. “How about I come over at noon to have lunch with you?”

“That's not necessary. Noontime is short, so you should go back and rest properly instead of traveling back and forth.”

“Okay.” Tristan tapped his thigh with one hand, feeling quite unhappy about not being able to see her at noon.

“What's the matter? If you have something to do, you can get back to work. Sandra and I are going to eat now.”

“All right. Go and have your meal, then.” He didn't want to delay her lunchtime. “Watch what you eat. You have a sensitive stomach.”

“Okay. I got it. Don't worry.”

After hanging up the phone, Sophie turned to face the two people beside her. “What's wrong? Why are you both looking at me like that?”

Sandra said, “It's just that we've never seen you like this before. You must really like Mr. Tristan, right?”

Regardless of their characters, any girl would show their docile side in front of their boyfriend.

“Yes, I like him a lot.” Sophie didn't feel the need to hide her affection for Tristan because she genuinely loved him.

“I envy you for being able to meet someone you're so fond of,” Sandra wondered when she could meet the love of her life.

“Don't envy me. Everyone will meet their special someone; it's just a matter of time.”

Simon chimed in, “I might not meet someone like that in this lifetime anymore.”

Hearing him say that, Sandra couldn't help but glance at him.

“I didn't mean anything by that. Don't take it to heart.”

Simon shrugged his shoulders. Honestly, that's just a desultory remark. The person I'm in love with will never reciprocate my feelings.

Sophie fell silent. Should I distance myself from Simon? He still seems to harbor feelings for me. If that were the case, wouldn't it be unfair to him for us to continue hanging out?

“All right, I really didn't mean anything by that. Let's go and have lunch. There's another practical examination in the afternoon, right?”

The evaluation was important for Sophie. Although they were able to anticipate the outcome, they still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

“Okay, let's go.” Simon walked ahead, not wanting to see the expressions on the two girls' faces. He was also very annoyed at himself for saying such words. I already know things can never work out between Sophie and me, so why did I mention that to make everyone uncomfortable?

“Sophie, Simon is...” Sandra didn't know what to say either. Forgetting had always been a difficult task.

“Do you think I should distance myself from him?” Sophie was uncertain, but she was willing to do so if necessary.

Sandra shook her head.

“If you do that, he'll definitely be heartbroken. Simon is actually a good person, and he's a wonderful friend.”

Simon used to be a spoiled scion in the past, but now, he was working very hard to be a better person.

“All right.” Sophie nodded.

Falling in love with someone wasn't something others could control. Hence, she was also at a loss for what to say at that moment.

The trio had their lunch at the cafeteria. Then, they went back to their respective place to rest. When Sophie reached the condominium, she found Tristan there.

“Didn't I tell you not to come back at noon? You should have rested in the company.” Tristan had a lounge inside his office at Lombard Group, where he could have taken a good nap. Instead, he chose to travel back and forth, causing him to have insufficient time to get proper rest at noon.

“I came back because there was nothing to do at the office,” Tristan said nonchalantly.

He felt uneasy when he couldn't see her, so no matter how busy he was, he wanted to come over at noon.

“You're so stubborn!” Sophie was stumped.

Tristan walked over and pulled her into his arms.

“What's the matter? Are you that reluctant to see me?” I only dropped by to see her, that's all. What's with that face of hers?

“That's not it. I just want you to get enough rest.” We will see each other at night anyway, won't we?

He picked her up, placed her on the couch, and helped her take off her shoes.

“I genuinely had nothing to do, so I came to see you.”

“Okay. Whatever you say is right.” She had no objections.

Tristan didn't respond. Fine. Perhaps I've been a bit too clingy lately.

“Sophie, do you think I'm annoying?” Tristan was a little discouraged, but all he wanted was just to stay by her side.

“No. I will never find you annoying. Don't worry.”

He didn't know how much she loved him.

“Okay. What did you have for lunch?”

“I ate at the cafeteria.”

“You should avoid eating at the cafeteria from now on. The meals there aren't nutritious.”

“So many people eat there, so how can the food there not be nutritious? The University of Medicine's cafeteria is still of acceptable standards. They prepared our meals by allocating just the right proportions of nutrients.”
