Chapter 1028 Remember Your Place
Tristan slowly began feeling her up under the covers again. He had long since gotten familiar with every single one of her sensitive spots.
Sophie melted helplessly at his every touch. She couldn’t do anything except lie quivering beneath him as he did whatever he pleased to her body.
He was completely entranced by every curve of her body. She almost seemed like his own personal drug that he simply couldn’t pull away from.
Nothing was more intriguing to him than mapping out every corner of her figure.
Sophie had never been a shy person, not even in the face of sexual acts. All of her reactions were genuine and she didn’t hold anything back.
The more she reacted, the further Tristan wanted to explore. He wanted to give her more and more just to make her feel and react the same way.
The shower they had taken earlier proved useless after a few rounds of messing around.
Sophie looked at him coquettishly and said, “You just wasted the shower we took just now.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I did. It’s okay, though. I’ll make up for it. How about I help you shower next? Would that help?”
Despite having spent so much time in bed doing all sorts of things to her, he still had more than enough energy to spare. He barely batted an eye as he picked her up bridal-style.
She felt safe and comfortable in his embrace, which was a feeling she particularly enjoyed.
She was lazy to act like she didn’t want him to carry her, so she comfortably allowed him to serve her.
He carried her to the bathroom and gently scrubbed at her skin and hair. He then dressed her in her pajamas and carried her back out of the bathroom before drying her hair for her. His movements were all so tender and loving that Sophie found herself closing her eyes. She was very relaxed.
“I’m really tired,” she said pitifully. If he didn’t find a way to control his physical cravings, she might actually pass away from exhaustion next time.
“I know. Don’t worry. I’m not that much of a monster. You can rest now,” he said. He couldn’t do anything about the lust he felt for her almost constantly, but he decided to let her rest for today.
After all, they had spent a long time in bed. He didn’t want to hurt her by accident,
He would never forgive himself if he hurt her.
Sophie finally relaxed at his assurance. She was completely drained and was no longer in the mood for anything sexual.
Tristan tucked her in before he went for a shower. Sophie couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of his retreating figure. No one could have imagined that Tristan Lombard, who had a reputation for being aloof and arrogant, would have such a different approach to his marriage.
Despite that, he still respected her. Whenever she said she was tired or didn’t want to do anything else, he never forced her otherwise. He never made her feel guilty for it, either. She was more than content that
she had found such a good man.
She was already imagining the happy future they would have together. After all, she could tell that Tristan really loved her.
He finished showering and finally lay down with her in his arms. He had found that he slept much better when he could hug her to sleep.
She also slept much better in his embrace.
They never seemed to grow out of their honeymoon period. Another week passed in the blink of an eye. They had been away for almost two weeks now.
Tristan felt reluctant to go back.
He enjoyed being in Miralaea. They were alone and no one came to bother them. They could do whatever they wanted. The past two weeks had been full of good food, a good rest, and a good time in general.
He didn’t want to go back in the slightest.
However, he knew that Felix would probably go insane if he didn’t return soon.
Lombard Group was a very big corporation. The fact that Northley Group was now added on to that bui for the time being meant that they would have a lot on their plate.
Tristan was still full of longing even when they got on the plane.
“Let’s go back. Why don’t we spend a whole month here?” Tristan whined. He was really starting to dread going home.
Sophie held his hand.
“We can go anywhere as long as we’re together, right? Even if we go back, things will still be the same,” she said. The last two weeks had been great, but they had to go back eventually. Jipsdale was their home, after, all.
She leaned against his shoulder.
“Promise me that you won’t neglect me when we get back, okay?” He couldn’t blame the fact that Sophie was always needed by those around her. She was extremely talented.
“Don’t worry. That will never happen. You’re the most important person in my life. I would never neglect you,” Sophie said. It was her first time realizing that guys needed to be coddled sometimes, too.
After marrying Tristan, she found out that he had a childish side to him as well.
“Okay. I’ll take your word for it.”
The two of them reached the Lombard residence after more than ten hours of traveling. Sophie felt relaxed at the sight of those familiar surroundings.
No matter how glamorous or fun other places could be, home was still the best place for her. She really did love her country.
William grinned widely at the sight of Sophie’s return. All of his hope was riding on her shoulders now. After spending such a long time together, he hoped that she was already bearing his grandchild.
He couldn’t wait for that day to come.
Sarah and Ysabelle were at home as well. They were ready to welcome Sophie and Tristan since they heard the two of them would be coming home that day.
When they arrived at lunchtime, Sophie and Tristan joined the rest for lunch after washing their hands.
“Was Miralaca fun, Sophie? I’ll drag Felix there for our honeymoon once we get married if it lived up to the hype,” Ysabelle said excitedly. She had never been to Miralaca.
“Yeah, it’s really fun! There are a lot of fun things to do. We bought a mansion there, so if you guys decide to go, you have a place to stay,” Sophie replied.
Tristan shook his head. “No. If she wants to go to Miralaea, then Felix should buy their own place there. That mansion belongs to us. I don’t want anyone else staying there.”
The mansion was full of Sophie and Tristan’s happy memories. He didn’t want anyone else’s presence to spoil the special moments they had created there, and he didn’t care even if it was just Ysabelle and Felix.
“Why are you so stingy? Be a man! You’re acting like a little girl. We’ll only be staying there for a few days. There’s nothing wrong with that!” Ysabelle couldn’t believe how petty he was being.
Tristan glanced at her. “I bought that mansion, so I have the right to decide whether I want you there or not, right? Do you have something to say to that?” He didn’t back down at all. He truly did love Ysabelle, but he wasn’t about to cater to her every demand. That was a promise he had made to himself.
“Grandpa, Uncle Tristan is being unfair! Tell him to stop bullying me!” Ysabelle said. Tristan was being way too petty. She simply couldn’t stand it.
“Don’t be so unreasonable, Ysabelle. Don’t call Sophie by her name, okay? She’s your aunt now. Don’t be so rude,” William said crossly. Sophie and Ysabelle may have been around the same age and were rather close, but he didn’t want Ysabelle to forget her place.
Ysabelle had always called Sophie by her name. Having to call her ‘aunt’ was an extremely strange experience.
