Chapter 566
Sophie was lost in the heat of the moment as she was pressed against the door and given a passionate kiss. Tristan wasn’t doing any better as he wasn’t willing to let her go, even after they were both panting.
Her soft body was fatally alluring to him.
However, he resisted the temptation to go further at the last second.
Resting her head on his shoulder, Sophie panted. Frankly, she was impressed by his ability to control himself at that lustful moment.
For a long while, Tristan didn’t move an inch because he felt like he was going to explode at any moment.
If this continues, I’ll go crazy!
“You know I can’t touch you, so can you stop seducing me, Sophie?”
Because of her arousal at that moment, her pretty eyes appeared doe-like and innocent to him when she raised them to look at him. “When did I seduce you? I just couldn’t help but kiss you earlier. I wasn’t trying to seduce you. “
In response, Tristan could only sigh.
“In that case, how about we stay in separate places? Will that make things easier for you?” Naturally, Sophie wouldn’t push further if he was insistent.
It didn’t make her feel good to see him suffer, after all.
Immediately, he shook his head when he heard that suggestion. “No, I want to stay with you. Even if I can’t truly ‘have’ you and can only watch, I still want to stay with you.”
“But this isn’t good for your body! I’m suggesting it for your own good, you know,” she explained.
“I’m fine!” Tristan insisted.
“All right, then.”
“Let me hug you for a little longer!” Even though it was getting late, and he should head back to rest, he still wanted to hug her for a while more.
Sophie’s heart felt warm when she heard the affection in his voice.
She continued to lie in his embrace for a few more minutes before he let her go.
“Take a bath and go to sleep early. Don’t overthink things. If we spend a bit more time with your grandfather, he’ll be happy,” Tristan proposed. “I bet he doesn’t want much right now, just the company of people. We can do that for him.”
“Okay.” At that moment, Sophie appeared exceptionally meek, making him want to do naughty things to her.
“All right, just head in quick. Otherwise, I won’t be able to control myself anymore.” Back in the past when Tristan didn’t have a girlfriend, he wasn’t that horny. However, ever since he had one, he realized he was quite the animal, wanting to devour his fair maiden all the time.
She couldn’t help but giggle.
She couldn’t help but giggle.
Glancing at her, he grumbled, “Why are you laughing? Whose fault do you think this is, huh? Don’t you have any sympathy for me at all? I can’t believe you’re still laughing at me. You’re so mean.”
Instead of leaving, she hugged him.
“I never expected you to have such a cute side!” After planting a kiss on Tristan’s cheek, Sophie rapidly returned to her room.
A bitter smile was seen on his face as he watched the door close.
I decided to wait until our wedding night to do it with her, so all I can do is bear this agony before that happens. It’s fine, however, because I won’t need to control myself after that night. As he thought about the things he could do to her after their wedding night, a certain part of his anatomy reacted once more.
He couldn’t help but curse, “Sh*t!”
I didn’t know I was such an animal. It’s not that I can’t feel like this about anyone; it’s just that Sophie’s the only one who can elicit this reaction from me.
Meanwhile, Jennifer was finally discharged from the hospital. The wounds on her face were healing well. Although, the scars were quite obvious.
Staring at the mirror, she was deeply dissatisfied with her looks.
After all, she had always cared about her appearance, and her face was something she had always been proud of.
It was why the scars on her face were making her extremely uncomfortable. Then again, any woman would mind scars on their face.
Almost everything in her room had been smashed by her.
When Caylie heard the commotion inside her daughter’s room, she was upset. Why did my good daughter turn out like this? Right now, no matter what we say to her, she won’t listen. All of this is because of the Lombard family. If Old Mr. Lombard hadn’t given her hope, she wouldn’t have become like this. Now that my daughter has fallen into this state, he’s been neglecting her! The Lombard family doesn’t care about the Whitley family at all!
“What’s the matter?” When Timothy heard the commotion, he also approached Jennifer’s room.
“I think you should have a talk with Old Mr. Lombard. He was the one who initially gave Jennifer hope. Thus, he must take responsibility for what our daughter has become.” In the end, Caylie would still side with her daughter, no matter what.
Shaking his head, Timothy replied, “You need to stop enabling her. So what if Old Mr. Lombard likes her? Tristan’s a tyrant. Do you think anyone can control him? Besides, it’s not like matters concerning romantic feelings can be manipulated by others.”
“Then are we supposed to just do nothing? You saw what our daughter has become. She can’t move on!”
“What do you suggest we should do, then? Even if Tristan marries her, do you think she’ll be happy? There’s no way someone can be happy for the rest of their life if they marry someone who doesn’t love them. We only have one daughter. Don’t you wish to see her happy, too?”
Of course, Caylie understood what he was saying. She simply couldn’t bear to see her daughter like that.
“If you have time, you should try to talk some sense into her. I still need to head to the company, so I’ll be going now.” Then, Timothy left.
Caylie didn’t feel great about the situation, but she knew the Lombard family wasn’t a family anyone could afford to mess with.
When Minerva came to visit Jennifer, she noticed there was barely any space in the latter’s room for her to walk in.
Still, she managed to reach Jennifer’s side and comforted her, “Are you doing all right, Jennifer? Don’t be like this, okay? You’ve always been a strong, independent woman! Everyone’s always admired you! Don’t become like this because of a man! As excellent as Tristan is, he’s just one guy.”
She couldn’t understand why her friend was acting like that because of a man.
When Jennifer raised her head to stare at Minerva, the latter shuddered because the look in the former’s eyes was too frightening.
“I’m going to make Tristan break up with that nasty woman! Everything I experienced today, I’ll make sure to pay her back two-fold!” Regardless of what others said, Jennifer was dead set on blaming Sophie for her situation.
Minerva advised, “This car accident is just, well, an accident, Jennifer. Don’t push all your problems onto someone else. It won’t make you feel better. I know you feel stuck right now and that you can’t find a way out of this situation, but—”
“How is it possible that this has nothing to do with her?” Jennifer refused to believe her friend. “I’m going to make her suffer! After investigating her, I learned that the thing she cares the most about is her grandfather. If I can capture her grandfather, she’ll do whatever I tell her to do!”
