Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Infiltrating the Base

“Yeah. Please listen to me and remain here. Don’t go wandering off, okay?” Sophie reminded Ysabelle in concern. She was worried that Ysabelle would disappear without anyone’s knowing.

“Don’t worry! I won’t stray away. I know how dangerous it is here.” All of them intended to leave that place as soon as they had Felix.

Ysabelle did not want to be there for even a moment longer than necessary.

“Good. I’m relieved to hear that. You must be the first person Felix would want to see when he gets out,” Sophie reassured her.

“I’ve been so mean to him. Why would he still want to see me?” Ysabelle truly had treated him terribly. She had been much too proud and stubborn, which was why Felix had ended up in that place.

If I hadn’t quarreled with Felix, he wouldn’t be here, and all these things wouldn’t have happened…

“You didn’t do anything wrong. You are Ysabelle, the Ysabelle that he loves the most.

How can she think so badly of herself just because of this incident? She did nothing wrong at all! After all, all lovers have their quarrels.

Ysabelle threw herself into Sophie’s arms.

“Promise me that all of you will get back to me safely!” Any place that she could not step foot in must be a dangerous place.

“Yes, of course, we’ll come back in one piece.” Sophie gently wiped away Ysabelle’s tears with her thumb. “Be strong. After going through all this, you have to become more mature.”

“Yes, I understand.” It’s true! I really should be stronger. I’m always relying on others to clean up my mess. I really should grow up and handle my own problems!

Bertram was upset to find out that Tristan would not take him along with him.

“Mr. Tristan, let me go with you! I’ve always been by your side. I know exactly what you need and when you need it. We’re such a good team!”

Bertram was worried for Tristan.

“Don’t worry about it. Sophie will be with me. Your job is to stay here and keep an eye on Ysabelle.” Watching over Ysabelle was no easy task either.
