Chapter 546
If Tristan learns this, he definitely won’t let him go! Alex thought.
Nicholas glanced at Alex’s hand. “Are you begging to have your hand disabled permanently? Was the lesson last time not enough for you to learn from your mistake?”
Alex had always been by his side. While he did “lecture” Alex last time, he wasn’t trying to take the latter’s life. What the heck is Alex doing? I can’t believe he still doesn’t know how to appreciate his life after getting another chance to live.
Staring at him pleadingly, Alex questioned, “This is Lombard Group, Mr. Nicholas. Have you thought about what’ll happen to you if you enter the building? Do you really think it’s going to be a simple matter? I know you’ve always thought I’m disloyal, but I always have your best interest at heart! Sophie will only harm you! She won’t show you any mercy! Why don’t you understand?”
It was then Ysabelle and Sophie arrived at Tristan’s office. At that moment, Tristan was discussing the details of a case with Felix in the room.
When the men noticed the arrival of the women, their eyes lit up.
“You went shopping today?” Tristan asked Sophie when he saw the bags in Ysabelle’s hand. “Don’t dote on her too much. I know you don’t like shopping.”
Ysabelle tended to forget the time when she shopped. Thus, he was certain Sophie felt very tired at the moment.
“Mhm. We went to buy some stuff, including a suit for you. Have a look and tell me if you like it.” Sophie handed the bag in her hand to Tristan.
“What? Did you learn something when you were spending time with Sophie, Ysabelle? She bought a suit for Mr. Tristan, so where’s mine?” Felix inquired.
Ysabelle shook her head. “I thought about buying one for you too, but I don’t know your size, so I didn’t. Next time I’ll buy one for you!”
His words made her feel a little awkward.
Felix was rendered speechless.
Then, he questioned with suspicion, “You don’t know my size, yet Sophie knows Mr. Tristan’s! Do you really love me?”
As the saying goes, one shouldn’t make any comparison, as doing so would only make oneself upset.
Ysabelle felt even more embarrassed as she retorted aggrievedly, “But I really don’t know your size! Can you blame me for this?”
“All right, all right. I didn’t mean to blame you. Let’s go to my office instead of staying here and being a bother!” Felix suggested as he was aware their presence would only inconvenience himself and Tristan. She’s blaming herself right now, which is the perfect opportunity for me to ask her for a kiss!
“Mhm! Remember to call for me when you’re about to leave, Sophie!” Ysabelle reminded before she followed him to his office.
Only Tristan and Sophie were left in the former’s office.
“I know your clothes are custom-made. However, I thought the suit would look good on you, so I bought it. You can choose not to wear it if you don’t want to.” She wasn’t going to force him to do anything he didn’t want to.
In response, he pulled her closer to him and made her sit on his lap. “What are you saying? Of course, I’ll like and wear the clothes you bought for me. Why won’t I?”
“Really? You haven’t even seen the suit yet!” As she spoke, she wanted to leave his lap because they appeared awfully intimate in that pose.
While she wasn’t heavy, she didn’t feel wholly comfortable sitting on his lap like a child.
It made her feel quite embarrassed.
Tristan didn’t stop Sophie as he watched her open the bag, remove the suit from it, and present the garment in front of him. “What do you think? Do you like it?”
It was the first time she had bought him a gift, so she hoped he would like it.
The suit looks good! It’s a type that I’ve never worn before. He praised, “I like it a lot! My girlfriend sure does have excellent taste in clothing.”
That elicited a smile from her. “Oh, you. Still, with how amazing your figure is, I bet you’ll look good even in a shabby piece of clothing!”
“Mhm, but I think I’ll still look great without it.”
“No can do. I don’t want anyone else to see you!” Sophie pouted slightly. He’s mine and mine alone! I won’t give anyone a chance to covet him!
“Oh yeah, is Jennifer targeting Tanner Group recently?” Rumors about it reached Tristan some time ago, which roused his desire to teach Jennifer a lesson.
“You don’t need to pay attention to her. Just let her be for now. The happier she is now, the more upset she’ll become in the future. I’m not that easily bullied,” she uttered casually. “Although, your dad seems to like her a lot. Will he be upset if I ruin her?”
“You don’t need to mind what other people think as long as it makes you happy,” he responded. Jennifer’s no pushover. Although, if she thinks she can do anything she wants because my father likes her, she’s severely mistaken. If she upsets Sophie, I can remove her from Jipsdale with little effort.
“Mhm! Remember to call for me when you’re about to leave, Sophie!” Ysabelle reminded before she followed him to his office.
“I met her at the mall earlier. I don’t like that woman, so you better leave far away from her, got it?”
“Mhm.”
“Also, I disallow you to let others get their hands on you, okay? Otherwise, I won’t want you anymore!” It was pretty rare for Sophie to act willfully. No one is allowed to get their hands on my man!
She was quite particular when it came to relationships.
“I promise you, my queen, that I won’t give anyone a chance to get their hands on me!” Her words amused him a little. I’m Mr. Tristan of Jipsdale! No one will have the guts to do that.
Holding Tristan’s chin, Sophie examined him closely. “Don’t forget what you said. If you let any other woman touch you, I’ll ditch you, no matter how much I like you!”
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him. She just thought it was necessary to clarify things.
“Mhm. I won’t give anyone a chance to do so.” As he stood, he put the suit in her hand back into the bag, pulled her to the spot next to him, and sat her down.
After they sat, he asked, “Are you busy lately? Do you need my help in regard to Tanner Group’s matter?” He knew she wanted to expand the company.
“No need. Victor’s pretty good. I trust him.” The people she handpicked were naturally the best in their field.
Victor was a very talented person.
She was certain he could do even better with a little help.
“Victor, huh? It seems like you trust him a lot.” Tristan sounded a little jealous.
“Mhm. What’s the matter? Didn’t you say Victor’s a person worthy of my trust?” Sophie wondered.
“Well, yes, but I’ll still get jealous!” He didn’t like it very much when she complimented other men.
“What else do you suggest, then? Are you going to abandon Lombard Group and help me manage Tanner Group?”
After a brief moment of contemplation, Tristan replied confidently, “That’s not impossible. I can do whatever you want me to do!”
In response, Sophie shook her head. “No, I don’t want other people to say that Tanner Group is relying on you. I want to turn Tanner Group into an empire by myself!”
“You spend too much time on unimportant things like this!”
“Then what do you think is important?”
“I want you to marry me and give me a child!” It didn’t matter to him whether it was a boy or a girl. As long as it came out of her womb, he would love them.
