Chapter 869
“What are you looking at?” Ysabelle asked unhappily. “To me, Sophie is the best in the world, and no one can ever be as good as she is.”
Not even Felix can compare to her!
“I know you love her with all your heart, and what you guys have is nothing but true love. I know where I stand,” Felix replied. What can I do when the woman I love is in love with another woman? I have never expected my love rival to be a woman.
“You can’t treat Felix that way, Ysabelle. He had been keeping you company ever since the incident,” Sophie advised.
Ysabelle nodded in response. “Don’t worry, Sophie. I know what you mean!” Ysabelle knew how much Felix cared about her. I’ll never find another man like him! I’m so grateful to have found him.
“By the way, what are we going to do about that man? Regardless of what he did, he’s still a fan of mine. He was simply not in his right mind,” Ysabelle uttered. Although I’m not happy with what happened, he’s still my fan. I don’t think we should be too hard on him.
Upon hearing that, Sophie raised her brows. “I’m not in charge of dealing with that, so you’ll have to ask Felix!” she answered. Since that man had the guts to do such a thing to Ysabelle, Felix would definitely go after him.
“In truth, I don’t even have the courage to talk to him about this. What should we do?” Ysabelle asked.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Felix will deal with it. He knows what to do, so just leave everything to him,” Sophie answered. That man was out of his mind, and he should be taught a lesson. Nothing can justify the actions of harming another person. That’s totally unacceptable.
“All right, then!” Ysabelle uttered. To be honest, it’s a small matter, and I’m fine.
“Sophie, don’t you think I’m a useless person?” Ysabelle queried. If I didn’t overreact, everyone wouldn’t get so worked up.
“You did well, Ysabelle. Don’t blame yourself when you haven’t done anything wrong,” Sophie stated. That fan was out of line, and he should pay for the consequences.
“Mhm.”
Ysabelle’s mood improved after she had a chat with Sophie.
“Frankly, I think I should’ve done better. If I were as capable as you, none of this would’ve happened,” Ysabelle uttered. If I could fight as well as Sophie, I could’ve sent that man flying with a kick when he hugged me. I could then prevent things from getting out of control.
“It’s not your fault you can’t fight. Not everyone can fight as well as I can. Moreover, you have us. We can protect you, so you don’t have to worry about anything.” Sophie knew Ysabelle had no talent for fighting.
Meanwhile, Felix and Tristan were drinking together. Sean couldn’t make it because he had to deal with a challenging case.
“What are you planning to do to that man?” Tristan asked. I’m not going to get involved because Felix is now responsible for protecting Ysabelle.
“He’ll be taught a lesson, of course! Otherwise, how would he know he had messed with the wrong people?” Felix stated. Even I would think twice before touching Ysabelle. How could I forgive that disgusting man for his actions?
“Okay. I’ll leave the matter to you.” Tristan didn’t think he needed to intervene now that Felix was around. “I’ve never opposed your relationship with Ysabelle. As for my dad, you shouldn’t take his
temper to heart. That’s just how he is. As long as both of you are happy, I don’t think he’ll make your life difficult,” Tristan assured. What matters the most is their happiness. They can disregard the rest.
Hearing that, Felix raised his glass and said, “Mr. Tristan, I know you’ll always have my back! You’re my best buddy.”
“Buddy? I’m going to be your uncle in the future, right?” Tristan teased. Maybe he should start addressing me as his uncle!
Felix was at a loss for words. I knew this day would come, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon!
“What’s the matter? Do you not want that? It’s all right. That’s a dream for a lot of men out there,” Tristan uttered smugly.
Needless to say, Tristan was right.
“Do we need to be so formal with each other, Mr. Tristan?” Felix asked. We’ve been friends for so many years! Does that not count for something?
“Ha! It seems like you’re not that into Ysabelle, after all. In that case, forget about it! Ysabelle has plenty of suitors. She doesn’t need you to make compromises for her sake!” Tristan replied.
Felix was rendered speechless once again. What? How can he say I’m not into Ysabelle? I love her more than anything in the world!
When Sophie and Tristan were on their way home, she couldn’t help but laugh when she recalled the troubled expression Felix had on his face.
“Why did you do that? Why did you have to bully Felix?” Sophie asked. I think Felix has been nice enough to Ysabelle.
“Did I bully him? I’ve been on his side since the beginning!” Tristan responded. I’ve been supporting Felix when Dad has been against it. What more can I do?
“True,” Sophie said. At least we’ve already taken care of the incident that happened today. However, it seems like the incident is still bothering Old Mr. Lombard. Back then, Ysabelle only joined the entertainment industry because of me. It’s only natural for Old Mr. Lombard to feel angry now that something like that had happened.
Dad loves Ysabelle too much. Tristan seemed to know what was on Sophie’s mind, so he comforted her by saying, “That’s just how my dad is. Don’t take it to heart, okay?”
“I know. Don’t worry. I won’t take offense at him,” Sophie assured.
“Also, try not to mention he’s old to his face. He likes to think that he’s still a young man,” Tristan advised. Who would’ve thought that an old man like him would still care about such a thing?
“Understood,” Sophie answered. To be honest, I also want Old Mr. Lombard to be happy.
“Are you tired?” Tristan asked because Sophie didn’t take a nap because she had to deal with what happened today.
“Not really.”
“Get some shut-eye. I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”
“No. I want to chat with you,” Sophie refused. He didn’t get enough rest either. I should talk to him so he wouldn’t feel sleepy behind the wheel.
“Don’t worry. Just get some sleep, okay? Or do you not trust my driving skills?”
“Why would I not? I trust whatever you do,” Sophie stated. If I didn’t, why would I let him take care of me?
Perhaps Sophie was really exhausted from dealing with things over the past few days because, in the end, she fell asleep in the car.
Upon arriving at the mansion, Tristan exited the car and gave the car key to Micah before going to the passenger seat to carry Sophie out of the car.
The moment he touched Sophie, however, she woke up.
“Are we home already?” she asked. I didn’t know I would fall asleep!
“Yes. We’re home, but it’s okay. You can continue sleeping.” Tristan carried her with ease and brought her to their room.
