Chapter 330
“Uncle Tristan, why are you here?” Not to mention, he’s eating takeout food. Why does he look so pitiful?
Tristan looked up and glanced at them.
“What’s the matter? Am I not allowed to be here? If you can be here, why can’t I?”
Ysabelle was stumped and didn’t dare to say another word. I can sense his intense resentment! It seems he’s pretty displeased because Sophie didn’t invite him to tag along for the meal.
“Soph, my stomach is hurting a little. Perhaps I ate too much for dinner. I need to go to the toilet.” Ysabelle immediately came up with an excuse to leave the scene as she decided not to stay there as a third wheel.
With that, she hastily ran off. Before she left, she even shot Sophie a look, as if wordlessly saying to the latter, “Good luck.”
However, Sophie wasn’t afraid. She changed into her slippers before approaching Tristan and sitting beside him. Then, she glanced at his takeout food.
“Why did you buy this instead of asking Susan to cook for you?” It’s not like we don’t have a maid at home, so I think his piteous pretense is a little uncalled for.
“She has some family matters to attend to, so I allowed her to go back. Besides, it’ll be troublesome to cook for just one person since I’ll be having my meal alone. That’s why I simply bought some food to fill my stomach.”
Sophie was rendered speechless.
“I see!”
She lifted the container and fed him the food.
“How’s the taste?”
She’s just feeding me like anyone would, so why does she look so attractive at the moment?
“It’s yummy!”
The originally bland-tasting dish suddenly stimulated his taste buds like exotic delicacies because Sophie was personally delivering the food to his mouth.
“Are you done with all the work related to the new album?” The process of recording and producing an album was lengthy and complicated. In addition, she was also holding the position of Tanner Group’s CEO, so her schedule had been jam-packed.
“Yes. Everything is ready and planned.” The only thing left to do would be the actual recording, then she would have to address the issues related to the official announcement of the new album release.
Hence, her busy lifestyle would likely remain as hectic as before for the following period.
“By the way, the university entrance exam is around the corner. Have you decided on your career pathway?”
With her grades, entering Jipsdale University would be a walk in the park for Sophie. The question was whether she was willing to choose that option or not.
Naturally, Tristan did not forget what Arius previously said. The people from International Medical Association are still waiting for her to join them.
Moreover, he was confident Barney wasn’t joking around, and the latter genuinely intended to train Sophie to become his successor.
She has never been lacking in terms of her career options. There are just too many routes for her to choose from.
“We’ll discuss this after the university entrance exam since this is not urgent.” After all, it was compulsory for her to take the university entrance exam as a senior-year student.
Besides, some universities abroad were also independently seeking students to join their campus, so that could also be an alternative for her to consider.
“Do you wish to join the International Medical Association?” That was a question he had wanted to ask her for a long time, but he waited until that moment to express his curiosity.
Sophie fell silent. She felt her head aching from all the decisions she had to make.
“Why are you behaving like Arius? Didn’t I mention I’m still clueless about what I wish to pursue in the future? I don’t know what choices I’ll make either.”
With that said, she didn’t have definite answers to all their questions.
“Okay, I got it. Don’t worry. I’m just asking. You have my full support no matter your decision.”
“Mr. Tristan, do you lack confidence in yourself? Are you worried about our relationship turning into a long-distance romance if I choose to go to Anglandur?”
Most people were not fond of long-distance relationships.
No one could be certain what would happen in the future due to the many temptations in society.
Tristan wrapped his arms around her.
“There are many opportunities and possibilities lying ahead in your future because you’re still so young. Still, just because we are together now, I won’t ask you to give up on anything for me.”
That’s right. The age gap between us is too significant. Things may seem fine now, but more remarkable people will surround her after she enters university. More importantly, these outstanding people will be her peers. They will have more common interests and topics to discuss, so will she still like me by then?
He had considered all those problems.
Even though he was the high and mighty Mr. Tristan in others’ eyes, he was still an insecure man in this romantic relationship.
Alas, this is all because I’ve fallen in love with such a superb young lady. Not only is she extraordinarily gorgeous, but she’s also so exceptionally competent. She’s still young at the moment, but once she gets a little older, she’ll be a stellar existence on par with me. A little girl as fine as her will undoubtedly garner the attention of countless brilliant men.
“Mr. Tristan, I like you.”
Sophie had to admit that her heart ached badly when she took in his unconfident mien. He’s obviously such a perfect man, so why is he still worried about these trivial matters?
“Say that again?”
Tristan was agitated after listening to her remark, as that was the first time she had confessed to him so straightforwardly.
Seeing the way he craved her affirmation like a little child, her heart instantly turned to mush.
She gently cradled his head, pulled him close, and repeated the words, “I like you, and I like spending time with you. No matter how our future may be, at the very least, my affection for you at this moment is real and without a hint of deception.”
Hearing that, Tristan lost control of himself.
He flipped over, pinned her against the couch, and kissed her lips. His kiss was filled with all tenderness as if Sophie was the most precious of his prizes.
He didn’t dare to exert more force, fearing that the delicate girl in front of him would vanish into nothingness if he kissed her harder.
Sophie wrapped her arms around his waist and reciprocated his kiss.
Ysabelle had returned to the living room for the sole purpose of retrieving her bag. Moments ago, when she returned to her room, she realized her phone was still in her bag, and she had left her bag in the living room.
She honestly didn’t expect to stumble upon such an erotic scene. At that instant, only a single thought surfaced in her mind. I can’t believe my uncle Tristan is such an aggressive man. Also, Sophie is seriously coordinating with him. This is why I’m sure uncle Tristan has secured a place in Sophie’s heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have immersed herself in the kiss. To my recollection, Uncle Tristan has always maintained a graceful and chivalrous appearance, much like a member of the noble aristocrats. Yet he’s behaving like a completely different man in front of Sophie. I have to give Sophie credit for successfully enticing Uncle Tristan with her allure.
Presently, Ysabelle was caught in an awkward situation. She wondered if she should proceed to take her phone or return to her room silently.
In the end, at the thought of how her uncle would react if he saw her, she decided to go back to her room quietly. After all, it seemed a wiser and better choice for her to not play with her phone for one night than to suffer a horrible death.
However, after returning to her room, she couldn’t get the image of Tristan and Sophie kissing out of her mind.
“D*mn it. What’s wrong with me? This won’t do. I need to find a boyfriend when I enter university. Otherwise, I’ll turn crazy if this situation drags on.”
I’d also like to showcase my relationship to others in the future after being forced to witness these public displays of affection constantly. When will I finally find love?
