Chapter 661
Suddenly, large flakes of snow began to fall from the sky.
“It’s snowing!” Sophie exclaimed with delight, stopping in her tracks. She had always lived in Horington, where it never snowed in the winter.
It had been so long since she last saw snow falling so heavily.
Although she was afraid of the cold, she loved snowflakes.
“Yes, it’s snowing!”
This was their first winter together, and under the streetlights, the girl’s face was beaming with joy.
That smile was so pure.
It made him want to freeze that moment in time and remember that smile forever.
“Tristan, do you like snowy days?” Sophie was still smiling, and even her voice sounded happy.
She was actually very rational and not easily moved by anything.
But at that moment, she really liked the scenery.
“I like it!”
Of course, he liked it, because Sophie was a completely different person on a snowy day.
Just seeing the way she smiled was enough to make him happy.
“Are you cold?”
However, at that moment, she wasn’t wearing much and he was worried that she might catch a cold.
Sophie shook her head.
“I don’t feel cold at all. It’s not cold when it’s snowing. It’s only cold when the snow melts.”
She took his hand, and there were already a lot of snowflakes on her hair, making her look like a princess from a world of ice.
“Let’s go back!”
The snow would make it hard for them to walk if it kept piling up.
Hand in hand, the two walked back together. Suddenly, Sophie slipped on the snow and almost fell, but Tristan grabbed her arm just in time.
“I think my shoes are a little slippery.” She could wear snow boots in this kind of weather. Sophie decided to buy a pair tomorrow at the mall.
“Yeah. Let me carry you,” Tristan suddenly said.
“No need, I can walk on my own. Besides, aren’t you holding my hand? I won’t fall.”
But Tristan insisted and knelt down in front of her.
“I want to experience what it feels like to piggyback my girlfriend on my back!”
Seeing his back in front of her, Sophie smiled brightly.
“Okay then! Since you want to experience it, I’ll play along.” She lay down on his back.
Tristan carried her, taking slow steps as he felt that everything was happening in a dream.
Sophie hugged his neck while leaning on his back, feeling like nobody had ever carried her before.
At that moment, being carried like this by this man made her feel especially happy.
The happiness made her heart go soft.
“Am I heavy? Do you want to put me down and rest for a while?” It was quite a distance from here to his villa, and Tristan must be tired.
Tristan shook his head.
“You’re not heavy at all.”
She is already so thin. How can she be heavy?
With one arm around his neck, Sophie reached out with the other hand and gently brushed the snowflakes off his hair.
“Tristan, we’ll always be together, won’t we?” Honestly, she wasn’t such a poetic person, but amidst the scenery, she blurted out such a question naturally.
“Of course. Don’t worry! I’ll always be by your side.” So, they would definitely always be together.
The journey had finally come to an end.
When they arrived at Tristan’s villa, Sophie was still on his back, and William saw them.
Seeing his son carrying the girl on his back, William had an ugly expression on his face.
Even if he really likes her so much, he shouldn’t spoil her to the tee!
If this gets out, he would be ridiculed!
Sarah, who was next to him, naturally saw it too.
Knowing that her father was a stick in the mud and that he was probably angry again, she immediately comforted him and said, “Dad, it’s snowing outside and it’s too slippery, so it’s okay for him to carry her.”
“Sarah, don’t you think Sophie doesn’t know her place? He’s Tristan Lombard! Everyone respects him in Jipsdale!”
Unfortunately, a man like him was now actually carrying his girlfriend on his back.
Hearing that, Sarah was speechless.
“Dad, it’s popular these days to pamper one’s girlfriend!”
Sophie didn’t expect to be seen by William.
“Put me down, please!”
It was a bit awkward now.
“Let’s go inside first! Dad, it’s so cold outside. Why did you come out here? Isn’t it better to stay indoors?”
Why did he come over in this weather?
“You brat! I came to see you because I have something to discuss with you. Can’t I come to see you?” William was still his father after all.
“Of course, you can, but today’s weather isn’t suitable, is it?”
“Okay, let’s stop talking about it and go inside. It’s really cold outside.” Sarah had to play peacemaker.
There always seemed to be some conflict between the father and son.
Everyone went inside, and there were still some snowflakes on Sophie’s hair. Tristan carefully picked them out while ignoring the others around them.
As William looked on, he was suddenly reminded of his past with his wife.
Once, he had such a beautiful relationship too!
But in the end, he was all alone.
Sarah was a bit worried seeing his father like that. “Dad, are you okay? If not, let’s go back today and we can talk about the matter another day.”
William shook his head.
“I’m fine.”
He had been alone for so many years. Recently, he kept thinking about the past for some unknown reasons.
“Sarah, maybe I’m just getting old!”
Sarah helped him sit down, and then sat beside him.
“Dad, you’ll always be the most capable father to me.”
William didn’t say much.
Tristan brushed the snowflakes off Sophie’s hair and said to her, “You go upstairs first. Otherwise, my father will give you a hard time again!”
Sophie shook her head.
“No, I don’t want you to deal with these things alone. Since I’m with you, and your father isn’t happy with me, naturally I have to face him with you.”
Tristan wrapped his arm around her waist.
“You make me adore you even more. I really want to put you in my pocket and keep you close to me.”
He didn’t want her to deal with all this drama.
“Okay! Come over here, both of you! Your sister and I are both here! Don’t pretend like we don’t exist!”
Is our presence really that insignificant?
Tristan brought Sophie over to sit on the couch opposite them. The couch on this side was just a couch for one person, so it was a bit cramped for two people to squeeze together on it.
But Tristan didn’t want Sophie to sit alone, so they had to squeeze together.
William took a deep breath. Forget it, it’s better for me to not interfere in the affairs of young people. After all, my opposition wouldn’t change anything.
“Dad, why did you come here today?” Tristan asked directly. It was almost time for his father to go back and rest.
