Chapter 774
Everyone went their separate ways to get changed. Tristan had already made someone prepare a swimsuit for Sophie earlier. Seeing Sophie’s swimsuit, Ysabelle covered her mouth and giggled.
“What are you laughing at?” Sophie glanced at Ysabelle. What is this girl thinking about?
“I finally know why Uncle Tristan was so angry! I’m sure he didn’t want anyone else to see you in a swimsuit!” Ysabelle exclaimed.
“He’s not that petty!” Tristan isn’t such a childish person!
Hearing that, Ysabelle was rendered speechless. You really don’t know Uncle Tristan well, huh? He is actually a petty person!
Sophie changed into her swimsuit quickly and decided to wrap a bath towel around herself as the weather was too chilly.
Meanwhile, Ysabelle was still taking off her clothes. She had put on some weight recently. Since she cared about her figure a lot, she felt bitter when she saw her chubby cheeks. In an indignant tone, she muttered, “This is unfair, Sophie!”
“What’s wrong?” Sophie was completely oblivious to why Ysabelle would say that. She stared at the latter with a serious expression. What’s wrong with her now?
“Uncle Tristan feeds you so many delicious foods every day, yet you don’t gain any weight! As for me, I got chubbier even if I only ate a little!”
Sophie was at a loss for words. Feed? Are you sure that’s the right word that should be used?
“Ysabelle, I’m not your uncle’s pet,” Sophie responded solemnly.
“Yeah, I know that! But Uncle Tristan’s life goal is to fatten you up, isn’t it? Sophie, I heard others say that men like plump women because it feels nicer to touch!” With that thought in mind, Ysabelle no longer considered gaining some weight a big deal. I’m just a few pounds heavier. It’s nothing at all!
Again, Sophie was speechless. Why is Ysabelle being so blunt nowadays?
“Are you saying that I’m not nice enough to touch?” Sophie replied before getting lost in her own thoughts. I think I’m pretty fine right now!
“Hehe! That’s not what I meant. I’m sure Uncle Tristan is very satisfied with you! He will like you no matter how you look. His love for you is unconditional,” explained Ysabelle. This is something that nobody can change.
“Is that so?” However, even if he likes me that much, I can’t make him accept what he doesn’t prefer. “Then I’ll eat more in the future and do my best to gain weight.” I’ll do it if plump women are what men really like.
Ysabelle didn’t know how to respond to Sophie’s words. She was just joking and really didn’t mean it that way. “Sophie, I’m telling the truth. You’re perfect just the way you are. Please don’t overthink things!” If Uncle Tristan finds out that I’ve been telling her ridiculous things, he will definitely kill me!
Next to Sophie and Ysabelle, Winter was also changing. A self-deprecating smirk appeared on her face when she heard Sophie and Ysabelle’s conversation.
Winter didn’t know what was going on with herself. After finding out that Tristan and the others would spend time at a hot spring, she still tagged along even when she understood she was unwelcome.
There was no other reason for her to do so other than to stay by Tristan’s side. That was all, and she truly didn’t have other intentions.
Seeing Winter like this, Cecelia couldn’t help but sneer. This woman really never gives up, huh? Tristan and Sophie are already engaged, but she still can’t forget him! Winter sure is persistent. I’m sure she will pray for Tristan and Sophie to get a divorce even after they’re married, just so she can take over Sophie’s position!
“Sophie, you don’t have to feel inferior! Although you’re a little skinny, you’re curvy in all the right places! Besides, you’re not flat-chested. I bet your breasts are nice to touch!” Cecelia was even more straightforward when she spoke.
Sophie remained silent, no longer wanting to discuss this topic with them.
Yet, Ysabelle nodded instantly. “I think so, too! Sophie, the shape of your bust is beautiful!” Now that she has a swimsuit on, it looks even better.
Hearing that, Sophie couldn’t help but cover herself up completely. Have they been staring at my chest all this while?
Winter had already got changed. She didn’t know what to say when she was around the other ladies, so she could only leave.
When Ysabelle and Cecelia noticed that the person they disliked had finally left, they gave each other a high-five to celebrate. “She knows that none of us likes her. I don’t understand why she still insists on coming here. She’s making herself unhappy.” Why does she have to put herself through this? We dislike her, and she can’t do anything about it.
Sophie shook her head. “Jeez, you two! As long as she doesn’t mess with me, I don’t mind her doing whatever she wants!”
Indeed, Sophie had never treated Winter as an enemy since Sophie knew that Tristan was loyal to her.
“Let’s go!” Sophie said after Cecelia and Ysabelle were done changing.
As soon as the three of them went out, they saw Tristan and Felix waiting outside. Suddenly, Cecelia felt like she was just a superfluous existence. They’re all couples. Are they just here to torment a single person like me?
“Why didn’t you put on a coat before coming outside? It’s so cold out here! Go back in there and get your coat!” Tristan said with a frown when he saw that Sophie merely had a towel wrapped around her. Although the hot spring is warm, it’s still cold outside! If she catches a cold in that, the trip won’t be worthwhile.
“There’s no need. We’re just a few steps away from the hot springs. It’s too troublesome to get my coat.” While saying that, Sophie was being pulled into Tristan’s arms.
“All right, then. If that’s the case, I have no choice but to carry you there so that you won’t be cold.” Then, Tristan picked Sophie up.
“Tristan! Put me down! The others are staring at us!” At once, Sophie wrapped her arms around his neck, and her ears reddened with embarrassment. This man! There are so many people around us! What is he doing?
“Just let them look if they want to! It’s not like we can’t be looked at.” What’s wrong with us displaying our affection in public? We’re always this lovey-dovey, anyway.
Hearing that, Sophie stopped struggling. After all, no one could reject whatever Tristan wanted to do.
Since Ysabelle also didn’t have a coat on, Felix carried her in his arms as well. “Ysabelle, I don’t want to see you being jealous of others. I can give you what you want, too!”
Upon hearing that, Ysabelle was touched. Although Uncle Tristan is outstanding, my Felix is not bad, too! I feel so safe being in his arms!
Cecelia remained in her spot alone. What is going on? D*mn it! That’s it! I must find a boyfriend! I’m sure I can find one with my beauty! This is too much! Can’t we show more love and consideration toward each other as humans? They know I don’t have a boyfriend, yet they’re still tormenting me with their PDA!
Cecelia didn’t feel like going back to get her clothes anymore. She jogged toward the others. Unfortunately, she accidentally tripped and fell. When she raised her head, she realized that Sean had witnessed her tumbling onto the ground. Right then, she could feel the awkward tension in the air. My perfect image!
Seeing how Cecelia was trying to maintain her gracefulness even when she was in such a wretched state, Sean subconsciously curled his lips into a grin.
