Chapter 990 Being Straightforward
“Soon, you’ll become my wife.”
In the end, Tristan stopped whatever he was doing and left after uttering that sentence.
Sophie lay on the bed. Despite feeling exhausted, she could not fall asleep after hearing what the man said.
That’s right. I’ll soon be his wife and the mother of his child. We’ll surely live a good life together.
Having turned in late the night before, the four of them only woke up at about eleven o’clock in the morning. As such, they skipped breakfast altogether.
Ysabelle was rudely awakened by her ringing phone. Initially, she was livid and wanted to curse, but when she realized it was Sarah, she could only hide her dissatisfaction and answer the call.
“Hello, Aunt Sarah. We aren’t awake yet. Yeah, we slept too late last night. All right, I got it.”
After hanging up the phone, Ysabelle went back to sleep again.
Lunch? Nothing is more important than sleep right now!
Seeing the groggy look on her face, Felix burst into a chuckle. This silly girl. How can she be so adorable?
He approached the bed and carried her up.
“That’s enough. It’s time to wake up. Your grandpa is coming if you continue sleeping.” Felix scooped her into his embrace as he spoke.
However, Ysabelle was not amused.
“Stop it, Felix. Let me sleep a while longer, will you? Just a while more!” I haven’t had enough sleep. I’ll wake up when I’m done sleeping!
“All right. Don’t sleep anymore. You already skipped breakfast. It won’t be good for your stomach if you skip lunch now.”
“You all—”
Why do you all say the same thing?
“Fine. I got it.” Ysabelle tried to open her eyes. Still, it was tough for her to do so.
Seeing her like that, Felix planted a kiss on her.
The kiss left Ysabelle so suffocated that she finally sobered up.
Without hesitation, she reciprocated and kissed him back.
She had a growing fondness for kissing recently. Well, it actually feels pretty good.
They were so indulged in the intimate moment, and unable to hold back his urges any longer, Felix slid his hand into Ysabelle’s dress.
At that exact moment, a knock sounded at the door.
“Ysabelle, are you awake?”
Tristan’s voice rang out.
Felix jerked in surprise. Oh right. This is Mr. Tristan’s territory, and Ysabelle is his niece!
He halted his movements immediately.
“Yes. Hold on for a while. I’m almost done.” Ysabelle would not have bothered to respond had it been someone else, but since it was Tristan, she was being rather obedient.
“That scared me.” Ysabelle patted her chest after hearing the footsteps grow faint.
“Shall we continue?” she deliberately asked after seeing the look on Felix’s face.
Felix began putting on clothes for her.
“Continue what? Just you wait. I’ll deal with you after we’re married.” If a man truly liked a woman, he would try his best to protect her no matter how strong his desires were.
He was a little rough while helping her wear her clothes.
“Are you venting your anger on me? Be gentler. You’re hurting me!” Ysabelle chuckled. Deep down, she was delighted. I guess I’m still attractive to him.
When the two finished tidying themselves up and headed out, Tristan and Sophie were already waiting in the living room. Though they had all slept late the night before, Tristan and Sophie seemed lively and energetic after a night’s sleep.
Ysabelle was the only one in low spirits.
“How can there be such a vast difference between one human and the other? We’re all humans; why are you two so outstanding?” she grumbled. They’re definitely non-human. Could it be that I’m the only ordinary being out of everyone here?
“All right. Let’s go. It’s time to head back.”
Tristan had enough of her nonsense. How can she still have the nerve to ramble so nonsensically after sleeping in!
Believing that Tristan found her annoying again, Ysabelle hurried over and wrapped her arms around Sophie’s.
“Sophie, I knew you love me the most in this world. You’re the only one who doesn’t think that Fma bother. Let’s go and have lunch back home.”
“Yeah, I don’t think that way. I’m used to it anyway.”
Ysabelle was rendered speechless. Am I that terrible?
Lunch was ready by the time the four arrived at the Lombard residence. William, who had been waiting at the door, immediately pretended to be busy when he saw their arrival.
Obviously, there was no way he was not concerned about Tristan and Sophie for what they were doing at Fandar, even though he understood that they had the right to do what they wanted to do.
Then again, he still could not stop worrying for them.
“We’re back, Old Mr. Lombard. Don’t worry. Tristan isn’t injured.” Sophie stepped out of the car and took the initiative to greet William.
“Well, who cares about him? He doesn’t even give us a call when he’s away. Is there a need for me to be concerned about him?” William snapped.
At this point, Tristan also got out of the car and walked toward William.
“Dad, there are too many matters to deal with at Fandar, so I didn’t have time to call you. All right, everyone is hungry. Let’s head in for lunch.” The father and son duo was not fond of displaying affection, to begin with, but the truth was, they cared a lot about each other.
Upon hearing they were hungry, William quickly headed inside to set the table.
Sarah brought the last dish out from the kitchen and ushered everyone over.
After settling down, she said, “Sophie, you’ve gotten thinner again. Girls shouldn’t get too skinny.”
“I got it, Sarah, but this is what my physique is like. I wasn’t quite used to living in Fandar, and that’s how I lost some weight.” Sophie had great adaptability, but at the same time, she was someone who could lose weight easily.
“How about you move back here with Tristan? I’ll have the kitchen prepare delicious food for you every day so that you can put on more weight,” William suggested. They’re almost getting married, and then they’ll start making babies after that. It’s not good for her to be so skinny.
Sophie glanced at Tristan. Move back here? But it’s too far from our workplace. It’ll be inconvenient if we move here.
“Dad, we’re doing fine living on our own. It’s not too convenient for us to move back,” Tristan said to his father.
“What’s not convenient? You both own a car and can drive to work. Is it that you don’t wish to live with me?”
“Dad, it’s better for us to live alone. Besides, I’ll take good care of her.”
“Are you trying to tell me that you don’t intend to move back and live with me after you two get married?” William suddenly lost his appetite.
Sensing that William was mad, Sarah tried to ease the tension by saying, “Dad, it’s not a bad idea for them to live on their own. That way, you’ll be able to get a grandchild sooner!” That’s what you look forward to anyway, right?
Ysabelle, who was drinking water, almost spat the water out.
Sophie is only twenty years old! Don’t tell me they want her to have a baby that soon? Isn’t that a little too fast?
True enough, William no longer dwelled on that matter after hearing Sarah’s words. Indeed, I want a grandchild should let them do whatever they want!
