Chapter 447
Sophie felt a bit distressed about the two chancellor’s enthusiasm.
When Tristan noticed that she was getting impatient, he stood up and prompted, “I think you gentlemen should go.”
Since he already said that, the two chancellors could not possibly press Sophie further. They had no choice but to pack up and leave.
“Sophie, I actually think Mr. Olsen’s suggestion is good. You can study medicine at the University of Medicine while doing your physics research at Jipsdale University!” Ysabelle chirped.
Sophie was very talented in physics, so it would be a shame for her to give it up.
“Ysabelle!” Tristan snapped.
Ysabelle immediately shut her mouth, though she still thought the suggestion was nice.
“It’s not like you have unlimited energy. Just do what you like to do,” Tristan told Sophie. He did not think she had to venture into something just because she was talented in it; that would be too exhausting.
“But I really think it’s a good idea,” grumbled Ysabelle. She tugged at Sophie’s sleeve and complained, “Sophie, Uncle Tristan is being mean to me again.”
Now that she had Sophie on her side, she was getting bolder and bolder in front of Tristan.
“That’s enough. Isn’t Felix here to pick you up? Hurry and head to the company.” The recording for Ysabelle’s new album had begun, and she was supposed to record the first track that day. In the coming days, she would be very busy.
“Aren’t you going with me?” Ysabelle sounded a little dejected.
It was an important day for her, so she thought Sophie would accompany her.
“Go with Felix first. I’ll follow once I’m done with the matter on hand.”
Ysabelle knew that Sophie was busy, so she could only nod obediently.
“Make sure to come, okay? I’ll be really disappointed if you don’t show up,” she expressed as she looked at Sophie with puppy eyes.
“When did I ever lie to you?”
Hearing that, Ysabelle beamed. “You’re right. You never lie to me. I’ll go first then.”
Tristan couldn’t help but shake his head as he watched his niece. He felt like she was becoming more and more willful.
“You shouldn’t spoil her so much,” he said to Sophie after Ysabelle left.
“Do I?”
Sophie adored Ysabelle very much. The latter was pure and simple, and it was very easy to make her happy.
Thus, Sophie always found herself giving in to Ysabelle’s requests unknowingly.
“You do. If you have so much time and energy, you should spoil me, too.”
Tristan was jealous again.
“Tristan, are you actually jealous of your niece right now?” Sophie asked in exasperation. Is he for real?
“Yes, I am,” Tristan admitted. “You spend too much time on her.”
His words rendered Sophie speechless.
I didn’t! Well, never mind. If he says I did, then I did.
Suddenly, Tristan walked over and hugged her.
“I know you’re busy, but you have to promise me to take care of yourself properly. Don’t tire yourself too much. Don’t mind what others tell you as well. Just do what you like to do.”
Sophie had many roles now, and they all required her time and energy.
“Yes, I know,” Sophie responded.
She was not that fragile.
“That’s good to hear. By the way, The Wheelers have begun promoting their concert, right? Have you decided to perform?”
Tristan knew Sophie did not like getting too much attention from the fans, so he had to ask her.
“This might be The Wheelers’ last concert. When we first formed the band, our dream was to have a concert. So I really don’t want to miss it this time.”
It was true that Sophie disliked being in the spotlight all the time, but she had to join this concert with her bandmates so she would not have any regrets in the future.
Nevertheless, she wouldn’t actually expose herself on the stage.
“I’ll perform while wearing a mask, just like last time,” she stated.
“All right. Since you have decided, go for it so you won’t have any regrets.” Tristan wanted Sophie to live life to the fullest.
Giving him a peck on the cheek, Sophie gushed, “Tristan, I didn’t expect that you’d be such an obedient boyfriend.”
No matter what decisions she made, he always showed his support for her.
“Well, I have no choice since the girl I like is so strong-minded.”
Since he liked her, it was natural for him to accept everything about her.
“By the way, I like Mr. Olsen’s suggestion. I think I can go for a double major,” Sophie remarked. She figured she should take the chance since Christopher already made things so convenient for her. As a matter of fact, she did quite enjoy studying physics.
Upon hearing that, Tristan felt a headache coming.
What should I do? My girlfriend is too capable and eager to learn. She won’t have much time for me in the future!
He groaned, “I’ve made up my mind. From now on, Christopher will be my enemy!”
It’s his fault for bringing up that idea!
At that, Sophie burst into laughter.
“You know what? You’re so adorable when you act like this.”
“Adorable?”
Tristan was baffled. He never considered himself to be adorable in the least bit.
“Yes, I’m serious. You’re super adorable. I really like it when you act like this.”
“Fine. Since you like it, then I’ll be more adorable in the future.” As long as she liked it, Tristan had no objections.
Later, when Tristan and Sophie left in their car, Willow was still standing by the gate.
She had waited there for the entire night.
Naturally, Tristan and Sophie saw her right away.
“Willow is quite persistent at times,” Sophie commented. That was something about Willow that impressed her.
“Isn’t she here for Clayton?”
“Yes.” As there was no way Sophie would let Clayton off, there was no point in talking to Willow. That was why Sophie ignored Willow so heartlessly despite the fact that the latter waited for so long.
Right at that moment, Willow collapsed to the ground.
“Is she acting?”
“It doesn’t seem so.”
As someone who had studied medicine before, Sophie could tell that Willow actually fainted.
“Seriously…”
In all honesty, Tristan did not want to help Willow. However, she was Sophie’s sister after all. If they turned a blind eye now, Sophie would be put in a bad light.
Looking at Willow, Sophie sighed helplessly.
Meanwhile, Tristan stopped the car by the road and got out to check on Willow. She was indeed unconscious, and onlookers had begun to gather around her.
Sophie also got out of the car.
When she saw Tristan bending down to pick Willow up, she immediately stopped him.
“You should drive. I’ll carry her.”
“You’re a girl. How will you—”
“I don’t want you to carry other girls,” Sophie explained.
Tristan immediately accepted her excuse. “All right.”
With that, Sophie took Willow into her arms and got into the car. They then brought the latter to the hospital before giving Charmaine a call.
Soon, Charmaine arrived at the hospital.
“Sophie, what in the world is going on? What did you do to Willa? Why did she faint?”
Josiah had gone to the resort, so only Charmaine was home. She was in such a hurry that she did not even change out of her home slippers.
It was apparent that she cared about Willow very much.
“Mrs. Tanner, please mind your attitude,” Tristan warned.
How could she treat her daughter like this?
