Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 877 Kiss Her Thoroughly

He thought that being single was fine. He only needed to care about himself, and there was no need to consider anyone else's feelings. He had thrown himself into his work to numb his feelings.

Seeing Sean in that state, Charles patted him comfortingly on his shoulder. “You look terrible, my friend. You look worse than a sad, lonely, single man.”

I wonder what kind of woman is making him act this way! Isn't all women the same? Everything is the same once they've climbed into bed and the lights are off. Why cause suffering for yourself? No matter who's the one who gets rejected, life goes on anyway!

Sean threw a glance at Charles.

“You're getting on my last nerve, Charles.”

Charles did not know what to say in reply to Sean's warning. He merely nodded sheepishly and pulled his hand away.

“Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore!” Charles took a huge gulp of his drink. It's much easier to lose a liver than to break a heart!

“Sean sure is head over heels in love! A man like that is only ever seen on TV screens!” Ysabelle sighed dramatically. Even those who grew up with him had no idea who the woman was.

He had been waiting for her for so long.

It had already been years.

Yet, there had never once been a woman in his life, not even in his extended circle of friends.

“Yes, he's very faithful to his love,” Charles agreed. It was very honorable of him. After all, Sean was a renowned lawyer, a man of real talent. For him to dedicate himself so completely to someone was amazing.

“I'm more faithful than he is,” Tristan said softly, reaching out to hold Sophie's hand.

It had to be Sophie. No one else would do for Tristan.

“Yeah.” Tristan, too, was completely infatuated with Sophie. She was a lucky girl to have met such a man.

“What about me? Aren't I loyal in love as well? I had waited for you to grow up. What else do you expect from me?” Felix said, feeling rather sorry for himself.

He had always been in love with Ysabelle, but that girl was heartless.

The two of them finally got together after a long struggle.

Even so, Ysabelle still bullied Felix from time to time.

“The two of you, that's enough!” Charles said sharply. He could not stand their bickering anymore.

Sean looked at them enviously.

“I'm so jealous of you two. You must live happily ever after, okay?” After all, how could they not be happy now that they have each other?

Tristan and Felix left to go to the restroom. Felix turned to Tristan and said, “Mr. Tristan, the people from the branch in Anglandur are now back. I've already made arrangements in regard to the others. As for Ophelia, I have a question for you.”

Ophelia was quite good at her job. She had managed the company's branch in Anglandur commendably well. Now that she was back in the country, she had hopes of working in Lombard Group with Tristan.

However, the decision was out of Felix's hands. It was up to Tristan.

“Is she different from the others? You can make arrangements as you see fit.”

“She'd like to work at Lombard Group.” Everyone knew about Ophelia's crush on Tristan.

If only Ophelia had no such romantic feelings for Mr. Tristan! Since she clearly likes him, how should I make arrangements for her? If something were to go wrong in the future, Mr. Tristan would skin me alive!

Felix did not know what he should do with Ophelia.

“Send her to a branch office. I don't want to let any woman get close to me. Sophie would not like that.” He would not allow any woman the chance to even come close to him.

Felix said nothing in reply.

After all, he already knew that this would be Tristan's decision.

“Okay, I understand. I'll handle it accordingly,” Felix said, washing his hands of the whole debacle.

Tristan was so devoted to Sophie that he refused to even allow any other women the slightest chance to be close to him. How can a man be so thoroughly infatuated?

“By the way, you don't need to tell Sophie about this.” Sophie need not be bothered with such silly matters.

“I understand.”

Now that the party-loving Charles was finally back, he intended to go to Nocturnal no matter what.

“All of you must come with me! It's too boring to go to Nocturnal alone!”

After living in Fandar for such a long time, he was sure that all the ladies must be eagerly awaiting his return to Nocturnal.

How disappointing that he could only pick one.

“I'm in! I haven't been there in a while, too!” Ysabelle agreed excitedly.

She was currently a public figure, doing what she loved to do, but being one also meant she was not free to go to many places.

That was the price she had to pay.

“Okay.” Felix would never deny Ysabelle her wishes.

Sean had no plans for the night. So, everybody went with Charles, even Sophie and Tristan went.

They made their way to Nocturnal.

All of them were attractive and striking in their own ways. Heads turned to stare when they made their entrance.

Ysabelle, especially, was attracting plenty of attention. Luckily for her, the patrons who were allowed in the bar were not any of her crazy fans.

A few people approached Ysabelle and asked her for her autograph. She did not refuse and even posed for pictures with a few girls and signed on the photos for them.

“Wow, I'm still so surprised by how popular I am now,” Ysabelle exclaimed. Her dreams had finally come true.
