Chapter 366
“To be honest, if I didn’t have so much to deal with, I really would have liked to go with them,” Sean confessed.
He was still incredibly anxious and had the feeling that something would happen.
It was the same feeling that he had experienced when Tristan went to Horington.
“That’s enough, Sean. You don’t need to worry anymore, really. I feel like you’re overthinking it. Trust me. Nothing will happen,” Charles reassured.
He had been in the industry for so long and had met all kinds of people, not to mention encountered all kinds of situations.
Sean raised a glass of red wine. “Okay. I really hope that’s the case.”
He truly didn’t want any of them to get hurt.
Charles raised his own glass to clink it with Sean’s.
“It clearly is. You shouldn’t force yourself too much, Sean. Your workload is already so intense. How about you rest for a while? Maybe you can let go of everything and completely clear your head. Go ahead and take a vacation,” he suggested.
Sean couldn’t remember how long it had been since he last took a break.
In any case, it had been ages.
“Forget it. As if I have the time to take a vacation,” Sean scoffed. He shook his head. To him, holidays were unnecessary.
Ever since Ysabelle found out that Sophie was planning to go to Anglandur with Tristan, she had expressed her desire to follow as well.
“I want to go with you guys, Sophie. I don’t want to be here alone. I’d be so bored and lonely on my own,” she complained.
She had felt so isolated back when she hadn’t met Sophie.
To tell the truth, it was her biggest fear.
Since Sophie was only going for two days, she didn’t even bring a suitcase with her. All she took was a black backpack.
Inside, there was a set of clothes for her to change into.
“I don’t think you should go. They’re going there for work. Why would you follow them there?” She had the feeling that it wouldn’t be a safe trip.
That being the case, there was no way they could take Ysabelle with them.
Ysabelle sat on the couch with a teddy bear in her arms.
“Am I really not allowed to go, Sophie? It’s the weekend, anyway, and there’s only a week left until the university entrance exam. I keep doing the same practice questions over and over again every day,” she protested.
Anyone would get bored doing the same thing day after day. Not to mention, she didn’t feel like it was very productive.
“Be good. If you really get bored, then look for Mark and the others. Once the university entrance exam is over, I’m planning to let you debut. You still have a lot of things to study,” Sophie reminded. She had
already planned out Ysabelle’s future.
Seeing that Sophie truly didn’t intend to bring her along, Ysabelle could only pout and respond, “Okay! In that case, have fun while you’re there. Remember to get me a gift when you come back.”
Sophie was rendered speechless.
Why would a pampered girl like her need a gift? She can have anything she wants.
“What do you want?” Sophie asked.
“I’ll take anything you get me. Don’t worry. As long as it’s from you, I’ll like it,” Ysabelle replied with a smile.
Sophie enjoyed seeing how carefree Ysabelle was.
Truthfully speaking, she liked easy-going people like Ysabelle, who had nothing up their sleeve. Interacting with people like that gave her no pressure at all, which allowed her to be at ease.
“Okay.” Sophie had always been more than happy to fulfill Ysabelle’s requests.
“To be honest, Sophie, if you were a man, I would have fallen for you. There’s no way I would have let Uncle Tristan have you,” Ysabelle stated.
Unfortunately, that was only wishful thinking.
Sophie caressed her head. “Even though you’re a girl, I like you a lot.”
Upon hearing that, Ysabelle felt as if her heart was melting away.
She pressed her hand against her chest. “Do you know how fatal you can be, Sophie? I’m begging you. Don’t say things like that to me. I’ll fall in love!”
Whenever she was with Ysabelle, Sophie’s laughs were all genuine.
No longer was she the same ice-cold person.
Ysabelle always said that she was incredibly lucky to have met Sophie.
Honestly speaking, though, Sophie thought she was fortunate to have met Ysabelle as well.
The reason why Tristan was going to Anglandur was because of an urgent matter in the company. Thus, they were going there using his private jet.
“You seem to be very rich indeed, Mr. Tristan,” Sophie joked when she saw the private jet in front of her.
“Do you want one, too? I’ll buy you one if you do,” he offered.
Immediately, she shook her head. “Are you joking? Why would I need a private jet for?”
“Trust me, Sophie. If you had nodded your head, I really would have given you a private jet,” Tristan declared. He did have that kind of power, after all. He would give Sophie anything she asked for.
She stared at him and could tell from the doting look in his eyes that what Felix had said was true.
“Seriously, Tristan, I don’t need a private jet. Don’t you dare get me one,” she warned. There was no need for her to have one. It wasn’t like she knew how to pilot it.
Tristan held onto her and said, “Come on. Let’s board the plane.”
“Okay.”
As Felix watched Tristan tugging Sophie into the plane, he felt his heart shatter into a million pieces.
Why am I always the one getting hurt? I want a sweet romance, too.
After he boarded the plane, Felix wanted to sit with them. After all, it would be way too boring to sit alone.
However, before he could even take a seat, Tristan shot him a cold look.
Felix felt rather dejected.
Am I not allowed to even sit with them? We’re on a plane. It’s not like they can do anything.
He decided to let it go.
Either way, he was meant to be alone.
Thus, Felix silently went to take a seat at the side.
“Wouldn’t Felix get bored sitting there alone?” Sophie couldn’t help but sympathize with Felix when she saw how pitiful he was.
“What’s so pitiful about it?” Tristan didn’t feel the same, though.
He took a few grapes on the table, which had been washed beforehand, and brought them to her mouth.
“Eat some fruits.” When he saw that she had no intention of opening her mouth, he added, “Don’t worry. I washed my hands earlier.”
Then, Sophie opened her mouth and bit into the grape.
“How’s it? Is it sweet?” he asked.
She continued chewing on the grape. In a moment of carelessness, some of the juice flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
Sophie immediately moved to grab a tissue.
Despite that, before she could even wipe the juice off, Tristan had already wiped it away for her.
“Tristan!” she exclaimed while throwing him a glance.
How could I have been so careless? I must have looked so unattractive just now, she lamented.
“It’s fine. You looked really alluring just now,” he reassured.
Sophie was at a loss for words.
What on earth was alluring about that? I clearly embarrassed myself.
He took another grape and tried feeding it to her. Sophie, on the other hand, was blushing from embarrassment and shook her head.
“I can eat on my own,” she stated.
Him doing that would make her feel uncomfortable.
“One last grape,” he insisted.
Sophie had no choice but to open her mouth and bite down on the grape. She also happened to “accidentally” bite his finger while she was at it.
Does he really have to act so deliberately? she wondered.
At first, she intended to punish him. However, from the looks of it, that wasn’t a punishment in Tristan’s eyes at all. Instead, it was a form of teasing.
