Chapter 361
Charles isn’t an annoying person. It doesn’t matter even if he’s Winter’s brother. As long as he didn’t do anything that upset me, it’s fine.”
Charles would naturally be biased toward Winter. He was her elder brother, so it was understandable.
He merely mentioned it briefly, but she immediately understood what he meant. How impressive! She can read the situation so well all the time.
“You don’t need to put up with anyone. Just tell them off as long as you’re not pleased, okay?” He still did not want her to feel aggrieved even if it were him.
“Okay.”
Tristan adored her whenever he saw her behave obediently.
How can two such different personalities coexist within one person? When she’s cold, she will not even acknowledge her closest kin. But when she’s obedient, she can melt my heart completely. This girl is really my precious love.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” The look of obsession in his eyes made her feel uneasy.
Tristan bent down and kissed the corner of her lips.
“I can’t help myself!”
Although he did not want to gaze at her with naked desire in his eyes in such a setting, he always failed to control himself whenever he was with her.
When Sophie heard what he said, she immediately felt shy.
Despite her efforts to stop herself from looking so shy, her cheeks kept blushing.
Tristan didn’t even say much! He merely said that he can’t help himself, so why am I overreacting here?
Even her ears and cheeks were burning.
When Tristan saw her reaction, he could not help but laugh and kiss her forehead.
Ysabelle was jealous when she saw their interaction.
Sitting there, she chewed on some nuts.
It was not her intention to witness such a passionate scene. Initially, she planned to speak to Sophie, but she ended up seeing that spicy exchange.
How can there be such a vast difference between the two of us? When can I meet someone whom I like?
Ysabelle sighed.
“Felix, am I ugly?” Ysabelle was starting to doubt herself.
Felix instantly raised his head when he heard that.
“What are you talking about? How can you be ugly? You’re gorgeous!”
“If I’m gorgeous, why isn’t anyone pursuing me?” If someone is pursuing me, I would still have a choice. However, there’s absolutely no one approaching me! This is too pathetic.
When Sean and Charles heard what she said, they laughed and exchanged a meaningful glance.
Felix glared at them.
“That’s because they are blind! All right, stop overthinking. You’re about to take your university entrance exam soon, right? You’ll meet all sorts of boys when you enter university!” consoled Felix.
What a joke! How can I ever let Ysabelle find out that I’ve eliminated all the guys who intended to pursue her? What would she do if she found out? I don’t even dare to imagine it.
“Charles, you have so many girlfriends, so analyze this situation for me! Why don’t I have any luck with guys?”
Ysabelle was still unconvinced by Felix.
“Do you really want to know?” asked Charles matter-of-factly.
Ysabelle nodded immediately.
“Looks like even our little Ysabelle wants to date someone!” exclaimed Charles. “We watched you grow up, after all. Time flies! Even that little girl from the past is already thinking of getting into a relationship!”
Felix is really a coward. Look at Tristan! In comparison, Felix is so pathetic.
“Of course! I’m at the age to start dating, right?” Ysabelle stared at Charles eagerly.
Felix pulled Ysabelle aside.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense! Even though he’s got so many women around him, have you seen him with a girlfriend before? Has he genuinely fallen in love with any girl before? How can you listen to advise from people like him?” Felix panicked.
He must not let Charles lead Ysabelle astray.
Charles became unhappy when he heard what Felix said.
“What do you mean, Felix? Do you have something against me? You’re too much!”
Even if he had a lot of women around him, there was nothing he could do.
He just wooed all of them because he did not want them to feel sad.
It was not his fault at all.
Felix snorted disdainfully.
A rare smile appeared on Sean’s face. “All right, Charles. Felix is right. You shouldn’t teach her the wrong things.”
Everyone knew that Felix was the reason why Ysabelle could not get into a relationship. However, she must not find out about that now.
“Even you are saying those things about me! Looks like there’s no point in continuing this friendship! None of you understand my reasons!” Charles was speechless.
He just did not want those women to feel too lonely.
Since they also possessed something that he wanted, he would naturally go along with them.
It was a mutually beneficial situation, so he could not be faulted.
At nine the next morning, Tristan brought Sophie to the court. Since it was the first day of the trial, she had specially taken leave from school.
“Mr. Tristan, why don’t you go back first? I can just stay here alone.” Sean and the rest should be arriving soon.
“It’s fine. I don’t have anything important happening today, so I’ll just stay here with you.” Since this matter involved Clayton, he could not let her stay there alone.
When Tristan held Sophie’s hand, she turned around and glanced at him.
Ever since she got to know him, he would arrange everything so well whenever they were together. There was no need for her to worry.
Before entering the court, they bumped into Clayton and his legal team.
He had brought quite a few people with him as if that would bring him a greater sense of security.
Sophie was satisfied when she saw him coming as instructed.
“Good Morning, Mr. Zales!” greeted Sophie. However, he deserved everything for he had dug his own grave.
“Can’t we settle this on our own, Ms. Tanner? You can just raise any terms you want! There’s no need to stir up so much trouble,” said Clayton exasperatedly.
Things had not been going well for him recently.
He could not sleep for the entire night because he did not know what awaited him the next day. It was a torturous feeling.
Tristan glanced at Clayton.
“If you dared to beat Sunny up like that, you’ll definitely need to pay the price. See you at the trial!”
Unwilling to waste any more time with him, Tristan brought Sophie into the building.
Clayton stared at their backs.
“F*ck!” He was on the brink of rage. “You’d better perform well for this lawsuit. Otherwise, don’t even think about going home!”
