Chapter 710
That was well within her expectations.
The prominent families in Jipsdale had always placed a huge emphasis on sexual purity, so they would never accept Yvette after finding out about her indecent sexual history.
Besides, Walter never liked Yvette right from the start, so there was no way he would approve of her after that incident.
“I don’t see how that has anything to do with me,” Sarah said.
She wasn’t the one who released those pictures of Yvette, so it was pointless for Juan to tell her about this.
“Sarah, did you really have feelings for me?”
“It’s pointless to bring that up now. Anyway, they’re all waiting for me inside, so I’ll be on my way.”
Regardless of whether she had feelings for him, it was all in the past, and she wanted to keep it that way.
The damage he had done to her was more than enough to crush whatever feelings she had toward him in the past.
Sarah was about to leave when Juan grabbed her by the arm and said, “I don’t know what came over me in the past, but I promise you that I will come see you once I have everything figured out.”
“It’s cold outside, so you should head on in,” he added when he got no response from her.
Sarah couldn’t understand what he meant by that.
Why would he come back for me? Does he take pity on me or something? I don’t need his pity, though. Love and pity are two very different things. If he doesn’t love me, then there’s no point in coming back to me!
Sure enough, everyone was waiting for Sarah by the time she came in through the door.
“I’m sorry for being late. I got held up at work.”
Sophie stood up and motioned for Sarah to take a seat at the table. “Hurry up and come join us, Sarah!”
“I bet you guys have been discussing the wedding all afternoon, right? Well? Would you prefer a traditional one or a modern one?” Sarah asked curiously.
It was common for women to be excited about weddings, and Sarah was no exception.
“A traditional one. We all think it would be more meaningful that way,” Ysabelle replied.
“I like traditional weddings too!”
“Do you know how to ride a horse, Mr. Tristan?” Sophie asked. It would be nice to have him pick me up on a horse!
“Yes, I do.”
Tristan knew he had made the right decision when he saw how happy Sophie looked.
However, he was quite troubled because the previous marriage proposal was such a spur-of-the- moment decision that he didn’t even get her a ring.
As such, he wanted to make it up to Sophie with a proposal that she would remember for the rest of her life. That way, she would never feel envious of any other proposals that she might see.
Unfortunately, coming up with an idea for such a memorable proposal was no easy task, so he was still working on it.
Later that night, Tristan asked Sean and the others out to discuss it.
All three of them were shocked when they found out that he was asking about the proposal.
“Mr. Tristan, are you really going to get married?” They knew his relationship with Sophie was going strong, but they didn’t think he would be tying the knot so soon.
“Yeah, it has all been decided, but I want to give her an unforgettable proposal before the big day.”
That was something Tristan insisted on doing no matter what. He didn’t want to skip any details.
“I may have dated a lot of women in the past, but I have never proposed to any of them,” Charles said.
He had yet to find a woman whom he wanted to get married with.
Sean shook his head as well. “I don’t have such experience either.”
Although they were all incredibly successful men with countless women dreaming of marrying them, they had no experience in proposing to anyone.
“Why don’t you just look up marriage proposals online and see how other people do it?”
While he couldn’t exactly replicate someone else’s proposal, it would still do him good to use them as a reference.
“That’s a good idea! You should check out how others propose!”
“Is there even a need for you to propose, though? Sophie has already agreed to marry you, hasn’t she?” If she has already said yes, then why not just skip the proposal and go straight for the wedding
ceremony?
“No, that simply won’t do. Such procedures are essential in life!” Tristan couldn’t bring himself to disappoint his beloved woman in the slightest.
“All right, then.”
Sean couldn’t understand why Tristan insisted on proposing to Sophie.
The only thing that matters is to live happily with each other. What’s the point of marriage proposals? Well, I suppose I’m not one to talk. If the love of my life returns to me, I’d probably do anything I can to make her happy as well.
“I’ve been watching a lot of romantic dramas with Ysabelle lately. From what I’ve seen, they usually go down on one knee and propose with a huge bouquet of roses and a wedding ring. I think that’s good enough.”
Charles had been looking up a lot of proposal methods online, but Tristan wasn’t satisfied with any of them.
He found them all too old-fashioned or cheesy for someone like Sophie.
Eventually, the three of them had run out of ideas and ended up sitting there staring blankly into space. Tristan’s request was simply too much for them to handle.
“How about you just consult a wedding planner instead? They’re bound to have tons of ideas.” They had been so busy making money that they didn’t have time to educate themselves on such matters.
“Forget it, I’ll try to think of something,” Tristan said. He was surprised that the four of them couldn’t come up with a satisfactory marriage proposal even after putting their heads together.
The preparations for the establishment of the Chanaean Medical Association had been going smoothly as they had found the right people for the job.
However, its capability was nothing compared to the International Medical Association.
Not only did the International Medical Association refuse to acknowledge Barney, but they even accused him of a crime.
As such, Barney could no longer return to the International Medical Association.
He had personally recruited and trained all of those people, so he didn’t expect them to betray him like that.
As the Chanaean Medical Association had just been established, the International Medical Association came up with various ways to cause them trouble and give them a hard time.
Arius knew that Barney had been really exhausted lately, so he didn’t want him to worry about such things.
“The International Medical Association has practically fired us both, so you should just ignore them, Dr. Smith!”
Some people refused to join the Chanaean Medical Association after hearing about that from the International Medical Association.
Barney nodded in response. “I know. I just don’t understand why they would do such a thing. There should be no boundaries between countries when it comes to medicine!”
Why would they be so cruel to a newly-established medical association? What could they possibly stand to gain from doing this?
Sophie, who had just arrived at the Chanaean Medical Association’s temporary office, overheard their conversation from outside the door.
“What they say is none of our business, Dr. Smith. You don’t have to worry about it at all. They won’t be able to do anything to us if our research on this disease yields results.”
