Chapter 964
Chapter 964 Sparring
Everyone at the scene was stunned. Is this for real? Ms. Tanner is amazing! At first, Bert looked calm. After some time, however, Ms. Tanner turned him into a powerless man!!
“Bert, you’re embarrassing yourself! You don’t look like a strong fighter! Are you letting Ms. Tanner win?” one of them asked. That doesn’t seem to be the case, though.
Only then did Bertram know how good of a fighter Sophie was.
“Wow!”
“Amazing! What do you guys think would happen if Mr. Tristan were to fight Ms. Tanner one day? Who would win?” one of the men uttered. Both of them are incredible fighters! If they were to fight each other, they would definitely create a huge mess! That would be scary!
At that point, Bertram had already worn himself out, but Sophie was barely sweating. Right after she sent him tumbling to the ground with a kick, he immediately pleaded, “I was wrong, Ms. Tanner. I shouldn’t have challenged you. I surrender, and I can’t go on anymore!” If he were to continue, he would exhaust himself to death.
Sophie stopped fighting upon hearing that.
“Who else would like to challenge me?” Sophie swept a glance at everyone at the scene. I’m in a good mood today. If someone wants to challenge me, I’ll gladly accept the challenge.
The men shook their heads in unison when they saw her looking at them. Is she joking? If Bert couldn’t defeat her, how could we?
“Ms. Tanner, since Bert isn’t your match, none of us is! Let’s go, guys. We should wash up and go to bed!”
“That’s right. Let’s just go to bed.”
The onlookers fled the scene as quickly as they could. Why would we involve ourselves? We would rather rest than get injured! Besides, we would only embarrass ourselves. It’s not worth it.
Upon seeing what had happened, the guards couldn’t help heaving a sigh of relief. Fortunately for us, we didn’t stop Ms. Tanner earlier today! Otherwise, we would get beaten up even more severely than Bert! It’s humiliating to get beaten up.
Sophie then walked up to Bertram and offered to help him up by reaching out her hand. However, Bertram didn’t dare to accept her kind gesture because Tristan was watching.
Thus, he got back on his feet on his own.
“I’m serious, Ms. Tanner. I had no choice but to admit defeat! You’re so strong.” It was rare for Bertram to admire someone. I admire Mr. Tristan, so that’s why I’ve been serving him for so many years. Now, someone else had earned my admiration, and that’s Ms. Tanner! This couple is truly awe-inspiring.
“I guess I was all right!” Sophie smiled. I didn’t even use full strength because Bertram was Tristan’s subordinate, If I were to make him tear up, I would make him look bad.
Bertram smiled sheepishly when he heard that. Ms. Tanner is trying not to make me look bad.
“I shouldn’t bother you guys anymore. I’ll go back to my room.” Bertram left after that. If I keep standing around being a third wheel, Mr. Tristan will kill me with his murderous gaze!
“You can’t beat me up after we get married, okay?” Tristan approached Sophie and wrapped his arm around her waist before walking her in.
“Well, that depends on whether you know how to behave yourself. If you behave yourself, I won’t lay a finger on you.” Sophie joked.
“Don’t worry about that! I’ll surely behave myself. In fact, I’ll only listen to you and no one else. I’ll do whatever you want me to so that you’ll always be happy.
“All right, then! In that case, I’ll love you with all my heart,” Sophie replied. That should do it, right?
That night, Tristan and Sophie went to visit Felix. The latter looked terrible, but he was actually recovering well. He was expected to be able to walk on his own in a few days’ time.
“Should I arrange for the transportation to send you guys back? I have some matters to deal with here, so | won’t be tagging along.” Tristan wanted to restore the order personally.
“You ought to ask Ysabelle that question. If she wants to go back, you can go ahead with your arrangement. If she wants to stay for a while more, I’ll stay,” Felix answered. After all, I’m not fully recovered. I’ll only be resting in bed if I go back now.
“Would you like to go back, Ysabelle?” Tristan asked.
“Let’s stay for a while more! I’m finally here, but I haven’t even been out yet! Once Felix has recovered, I want to go for a walk outside.” Upon seeing the refugees in Fandar, Ysabelle wondered if she could do anything to help them.
“All right. Sure. Be careful when you head out. I’ll be busy from tomorrow onward, so I won’t have the time to look after the two of you, Tristan advised. I hope they don’t get captured by anyone.
“What are you going to do, Mr. Tristan?” Felix asked curiously.
“Clean up the mess you made!” Tristan teased. I told Felix to settle the matters here, but he’s taking too long to get the job done. Obviously, I have to intervene.
Felix scratched her nose awkwardly in response. Well, I’ve indeed embarrassed myself.
“What’s the matter with you. Uncle Tristan? This isn’t what Felix wanted, either! Besides, he’s injured,” Ysabelle grumbled softly. Has Felix not suffered enough? Why must Uncle Tristan say that to him?
“Ysabelle, Mr. Tristan is right. I’m an incapable man. Are you still willing to be with me, though?” Felix suddenly played the pitiful card.
Ysabelle was an innocent girl, so she embraced him instantly and comforted him by saying, “Don’t worry! No matter what, I’ll still want you. I’ll never let you go.”
Tristan looked at Felix in disgust when he heard that. He’s so good at acting pitiful!
“Sophie, discipline Uncle Tristan, will you? Tell him not to bully Felix anymore,” Ysabelle urged.
“Okay. I’ll discipline him later.” Sophie was sitting nearby, and she knew Felix was doing fine. We merely came here to chat with them.
Right then, a video call from Sean came in. When Sean saw the state Felix was in, he couldn’t help teasing, “Felix, is your face ruined?”
“So what if that’s the case? After all, he already has a girlfriend. He’ll be all right. Still, I’m glad he was sent there instead of me.” Charles was gloating.
Felix wanted to ignore them when he heard that. Why would they say that?
“When I return, you guys better treat me nicely. If it weren’t for me, one of you would have been in my shoes. If that were to happen, you guys could be in worse shape than I am right now,” Felix uttered. How could they still make fun of me!
“Hey, you requested to go there, no? We couldn’t even stop you from going there back then,” Charles retorted.
“What are you on about? Someone had to deal with the matters here, no? I was-” Suddenly, Felix noticed the guilty look on Ysabelle’s face, and she was keeping mum. Ysabelle is feeling bad. Why won’t they stop talking nonsense?
“Ysabelle, listen to me, okay? Don’t ever forgive him. I think he did it on purpose,” Charles joked.
“Charles, don’t sow discord in our relationship. Felix needs to rest, and he doesn’t want to talk to you guys anymore.” Ysabelle took the phone and ended the call.
“Belle, did you hear what they said? Everyone’s bullying me.” Felix continued acting pitifully,
Hearing that, Ysabelle hugged and consoled him. “Yes, I know. Don’t worry! From now on, I’ll fight whoever dares to bully you!” Ysabelle felt sorry for Felix
