Chapter 667
Both Sarah and Ysabelle were eager for Sophie to tie the knot with Tristan as soon as possible as they feared that someone as outstanding as her could be snatched away at any moment.
Hearing that, Cecelia still wouldn’t believe them.
Sophie was her best friend, so she wouldn’t want to see her get hurt.
If Tristan were to hurt Sophie’s feelings one day, she would definitely make sure he paid the price.
Tristan might be a big shot, but she wasn’t afraid of him at all.
“Tristan and I have only been together for a short time, but I don’t think he would betray me,” Sophie said. She had seen how deeply he cared for her and was confident that he would never betray her.
“Well, I believe you’ve been brainwashed by Mr. Tristan!” Cecelia joked. “It seems that I’m the only clear-headed person now.”
“Don’t worry, Cecelia. I assure you, Tristan will never bully me,” Sophie said confidently. She had absolute faith in the man she fell in love with.
As they chattered, the Lincoln limousine rolled to a stop before their hotel.
“Everyone, get changed and rest for a bit. We’ll meet up for dinner!” Sarah was the oldest among them, so she naturally became the leader.
No one objected to her arrangements, so they all went back to their rooms to rest.
The moment Sophie stepped into her room, Tristan’s call arrived.
Sophie placed her suitcase aside and settled down on the couch before answering the phone.
Once the call connected, Tristan’s deep, sexy voice boomed, “You’ve arrived, right? Are you tired?”
He assumed she was exhausted after the long flight.
Sophie put him on speaker and placed her phone on the coffee table. She then crossed her legs and settled herself comfortably on the couch, ready to have a conversation with him.
“Not really. I slept a bit on the plane, so I’m not really tired now. Tristan, I’m here on vacation. Why would I be tired? Stop worrying about me,” she replied cheerfully.
She was taken aback by the fact that he remained anxious even after she had made it to Jetroina safe and sound.
Tristan told her, “I’m glad to hear that. I was just worried that you’d overexert yourself. Go take a shower and grab a bite.”
Going away for a girls’ trip was always a great opportunity to have lots of fun, indulge in delicious food, and treat themselves to some shopping.
“Mm. I know. Don’t worry. I’m not a kid,” Sophie joked.
Now that she was an adult, she had full knowledge of her actions and the consequences that would follow.
Tristan reminded her, “When I’m not around, please take good care of yourself.”
“Of course,” Sophie replied softly, her voice full of concern. “I know you’re busy with work, but don’t forget to take care of yourself. Make sure you’re eating properly.” She knew he was busy at work, but nothing mattered to her more than his health.
Tristan sighed. “What should I do? You only left this morning, but I’m already missing you badly. I wish I could come with you.”
His rationality told him that he should give her some privacy.
He couldn’t replace her best friends, after all.
Although he was aware that she was likely having a wonderful time with her friends, he couldn’t help but long for her company.
“I miss you, too. It’s fine, though. I’ll be back two days later,” Sophie assured him. The girls, despite their hectic lives, were still able to find the time to come on a vacation with her.
Thus, she knew she couldn’t disappoint them.
“Get some rest, then. Sarah is familiar with Jetroina, so you don’t have to plan anything. Just do whatever she says,” Tristan told her.
Sarah had lived in Jetroina for some time, so she was familiar with the many delightful eateries and exciting attractions the country had to offer.
With Sarah around, Sophie didn’t have to worry about planning the trip.
“Mm… You should get some rest, too.”
After the call ended, Sophie came to the window. The scenery was gorgeous as the ground outside was covered in a blanket of snow.
It felt like they were in winter wonderland.
Oh, how pretty.
Suddenly, Sophie felt like having some red wine. She quickly called reception and ordered a bottle of red wine.
Soon, the red wine was delivered to her room. The server uncorked the bottle for her before leaving.
Sophie stood before the window, slowly sipping on the red wine.
The taste was truly exquisite, making it well worth the cost.
After unpacking, Butterfly came to Sophie’s room to find the latter enjoying some wine.
She poured herself a glass of wine and joined Sophie by the window.
Sophie was dressed in a pristine white turtleneck sweater, her chestnut-colored hair cascading down her shoulders.
She gracefully swirled the dark red liquid in her glass.
It was a sight to behold.
“What are you thinking?” Butterfly asked. Despite having worked for Sophie for some time, and being a few years her senior, she sometimes couldn’t figure out what Sophie was thinking.
“Nothing. Don’t you find the scenery gorgeous?” It was snowing heavily outside, but the hotel room was well-heated.
“Yeah, I guess. That was why we chose to come here, right? Otherwise, why would we come all the way here?” Butterfly agreed.
“Mm. You’re right.”
Snow in Jipsdale was nothing like the picture-perfect snowfall in Jetroina.
Soon, the rest of the girls arrived at Sophie’s room and joined in the wine-drinking session.
Instead of heading out, they opted to remain indoors, taking off their shoes and settling comfortably on the carpet. They sipped on wine casually as they discussed their worries and shared their thoughts. Conversation flowed easily as they relaxed in the warmth of the evening.
Sarah was in her thirties, but she felt so much younger when she was around them.
“I feel younger after spending time with you girls,” she lamented.
The young ladies were in their heyday, surrounded by friends with whom they had a strong bond. They were able to discuss any problem that arose and find a solution.
Whenever they felt down, they would come together and take solace in a drinking session to forget their worries.
“Sarah, what are you talking about? You’re still young!” Cecelia insisted. They had met barely ten hours ago, but Cecelia already took a liking to Sarah.
“Compared to you, I’m no longer young,” Sarah responded.
Is that really all there is to my life? I harbored a secret crush on someone but it had to come to an end. I can no longer fall in love with someone else. I am left to wonder if my life will stay the same or if something exciting will come around. This thought is rather depressing, and I can’t help but think that I have failed in some way. Ugh, why am I dwelling on that?
“Sarah, are you thinking of Juan?” Sophie asked curiously. Despite being the youngest of the group, Sophie was the most perceptive and had quickly read Sarah’s mind.
