Chapter 753
Richard believed all that mattered was Nicholas' happiness. So why did he have to worry about anyone else?
It was because of what Richard said that Nicholas was going to be doomed in the future. He seemed to have found validation from someone else.
As such, Nicholas was going to be even more reckless.
In the meantime, the entire group arrived at Jipsdale airport at midnight. After leaving the aircraft, everyone soon saw Sophie's perfect man waiting for her.
It was going to be Christmas soon. During this time, the weather in Jipsdale became much colder. The man was dressed in a matching suit paired with a black coat. This made him look even more dashing.
After seeing the beautiful girl step off the aircraft, the man softened his expression almost immediately.
It's good that she came home safe. That's all that matters to me. Tristan was quite happy.
“Sophie, your boyfriend is here!” Butterfly only had a black backpack on her.
When she saw such a striking man before her, Butterfly couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.
Falling in love seems to be a nice thing. At least there's always someone who will be thinking of you, no matter what. They would also do anything for you.
“Yeah,” said Sophie.
When Sophie saw Tristan, her heart softened too.
Before that, no one would give her such an intense feeling. “You're right. You do need some time to find someone who loves you.”
Amid her happiness, Sophie then realized that no matter how strong or capable a woman was, she still wanted someone to cuddle with at the end of the day.
When she left the aircraft, Sophie hastily rushed over to Tristan, who stood there with open arms.
He then caught Sophie and held her tightly in his embrace.
“You're finally home.” While it was only two days, it felt like forever to Tristan.
“Yeah. I've missed you too,” said Sophie. In the beginning, Sophie could not comprehend Tristan's feelings or his passion.
Yet now, Sophie felt the same way toward him. She now understood that when one fell in love, the longing they felt for one another was just like the tide.
“Let's go! It's very late. We should head home.” Now that Barney's problems are over and done with, everyone can go home and rest with ease.
“You're right. Let's go home.” Sophie had never once associated the word “home” with warmth before.
At the mention of this word, Sophie could feel warmth coursing through her heart.
Tristan asked the driver to send the others home. He was going to drive Sophie back to the mansion on his own.
By the time they arrived at the mansion and had a shower, it was already two in the morning. However, Tristan still insisted on keeping Sophie company.
“Why don't you sleep? It's late. You should go to bed early,” murmured Sophie while brushing her hair. She then gave Tristan a sideways glance.
“I just want to be by your side forever,” replied Tristan.
The corners of Sophie's lips were curved into a smile.
“Tell me. Do your business associates know just how clingy you are?”
“So what if they do know? Or what if they don't? I really don't care. All I know is that I love you, and I want to be with you. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks.”
Tristan definitely had the right to be so strong-willed.
“Okay, then.”
Tristan picked up the towel and began to dry Sophie's hair. Sophie willingly let him take care of her, given that so many things had happened today. She did not want to move a muscle. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
On top of that, it was a very long flight back home. Sophie was very tired. She leaned across the couch and enjoyed Tristan's special treatment of her.
Tristan was a very careful person, and this was especially prevalent in the way he treated Sophie. His movements were gentle. By the time Tristan had dried Sophie's hair enough, she had already fallen asleep.
As Tristan looked at her beautiful face while she was in a deep sleep, his expression subconsciously loosened up and became even softer.
“Silly thing. I bet you're tired.” Tristan's silly girl was definitely very adept. She was able to solve so many problems.
However, Tristan did wish that she was not so adept as well. That way, he could always stay by Sophie's side and protect her.
After mulling over this for a while longer, Tristan realized that this was also a conundrum.
It was precisely because of Sophie's capabilities that Tristan was able to feel less worried for her. If Tristan were not around, he could count on Sophie to take care of herself.
Tristan leaned over and placed the softest of kisses on Sophie's lips. He then carried her over to the bed and tucked her in.
“Goodnight, my princess. I hope you dream of me.” Tristan hoped that as long as Sophie dreamt of him, they were going to be good dreams.
He also hoped that he was able to give her all the happiness in the world.
At the moment, Sophie had a happy smile gracing her lips.
Seeing her this way made Tristan feel even more satisfied.
“It's okay. It's just a year. In one more year, you will be my bride. When that happens, I won't let you go so easily.”
Tristan shifted helplessly, having noticed a bulge in his pants. Ever since he had met Sophie, he behaved like a young man who had not known carnal pleasures.
For some reason, he found it hard to control himself around her.
His lower body part seemed to have a mind of its own. While Sophie lay there asleep, he was very active.
Tristan shook his head helplessly once more and resigned himself to taking a cold shower in spite of the cold weather.
In the blink of an eye, Wilma's wedding was coming soon. Wilma had initially wanted Sophie to be her bridesmaid, but Sophie was too busy.
In the end, Wilma could only ask Wendy to take up the role.
“Ms. Lineker, do you think Ms. Sophie will show up today?” Wendy had long been Sophie's admirer.
Since Sophie had been busy all this while, she did not have the time to head over to Transfix Cosmetics. As such, they had not seen Sophie for quite some time.
“Yeah. I think if nothing comes up, Ms. Sophie will likely attend,” replied Wilma. She had already given an invitation to Sophie the last time.
Sophie seemed quite stoic and cold on the outside, but deep down, she was actually a very gentle soul.
If she did not have too much on her plate, Sophie would definitely show up.
In the meantime, the wedding was going to start soon.
“Ms. Lineker, you should go and start getting ready. I can wait for her here. You're the bride! You shouldn't be loitering about!” Wilma had been in Jipsdale for so many years now. Finally, she had found her own happiness in life.
Everyone at Transfix Cosmetics was envious of this.
If anything, they were non-natives who caught a glimpse of hope. They, too, hoped that they could one day find love in the big city and settle down there.
From a distance, Wendy saw a luxury car slowing down. She soon realized that the vehicle belonged to Tristan.
“Ms. Lineker! I think Ms. Sophie is here!” said Wendy excitedly.
Tristan was here, so naturally Sophie had arrived with him.
Wendy watched as a strikingly handsome man whose figure could rival that of a model got out of the car slowly and opened the passenger seat door. He then reached out to help the lady who was seated next to him.
When Sophie saw the two ladies waiting outside, she grinned.
Sophie had promised Wilma that she was going to be there, but she had not expected them both to be waiting for her outside.
Wilma, the bride, had a decent figure. She looked exceptionally beautiful with her wedding dress on.
