Pursuing Her

Chapter 769

“All right. Let's stop thinking about that. We can only do our best to help him.” Tristan and Sophie could only do what they could. The rest was up to fate.

After all, there was nothing anyone could do to change Dylan or his daughter's fates.

There were times like this when nothing would go the way one planned.

“Okay.”

It had been a long time since Sophie went to the training camp. She suddenly asked, “Mr. Tristan, we haven't sparred against one another before, right? Why don't we give it a go?” A confident smile appeared on Sophie's lips.

Sophie suddenly felt that all the hardships and pain she had endured had vanished when they arrived at the place she had previously done her training.

Tristan slung an arm around her shoulders and walked forward.

He shook his head and said, “No, I can't bear to do it.” He was unwilling to be on her opposing side, even if it was a casual fight.

“All right, then!”

They walked around the training camp for a little longer. Tristan and Sophie left when it was getting dark.

“Are we in time to attend the party if we head back now?” Lombard Group's annual party should've started already.

“We're not going back tonight. We'll return tomorrow instead.” Tristan had something else planned.

“Why? Do you have something else to take care of here? Go ahead if you do. I'll wait for you at the hotel.”

“It's nothing. I just want to explore the area. All right, let's not talk about that and go have dinner.”

They were at the training camp for a long time and had not eaten.

“Okay.”

As they arrived at the restaurant, the smile on Sophie's lips grew wider when she noticed the romantic ambiance. There were even candles on the tables.

It looks like he's going to propose here. No wonder he went through all that trouble to bring me here. He's about to propose!

Although the two of them had already decided to get married, Sophie was still anticipating something when she noticed Tristan's actions.

I don't need an extravagant proposal, but it looks like Tristan had carefully prepared everything.

She felt warmth fill her heart. For a man to be willing to spend his time planning something like this for

a woman, that would mean that he's in love with her, right?

If he didn't like me, why would he waste time doing this for me? He's a busy man, after all.

The restaurant they had dinner at was quite famous in Horington. However, Tristan's behavior did not seem to hint at a proposal even though they had finished dinner.

Sophie could not help but be suspicious.

Could it be that I was overthinking? Did he really bring me here to settle the matters at the training camp? Fine! There are some moments when I can be delusional, after all.

But that's all right. I'm not someone who would get mad over something like this. Even if he isn't going to propose, he did take the time to prepare all these, and I'm grateful for it.

After dinner, the two of them left the restaurant. Tristan then brought her across the street and wandered around.

Just where is he going?

However, when they reached a familiar alley, Sophie realized she was not delusional. It was the same alley where she had saved him.

Everything he had done on that day was really to propose to her.

The initially poorly lit alley had been decorated with fairy lights. There were also fresh roses neatly arranged on both sides of the road.

A bicycle was leaning against the wall nearby.

If I'm not wrong, that bicycle is the one I used to ride. A bouquet of beautifully arranged roses was also sitting in the basket at the front of the bicycle.

Oh, Tristan... The way he proposes is so touching!

“Sophie, did you know? I felt distraught when someone plotted against me. You also know that I'm not someone who forgives easily. However, now that I think about it, I'm grateful to that person. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have come to this alley, nor would I have met you here. Having met you is the best thing that has happened in my life. I promise we'll be happy together in the future. Will you marry me?”

Tristan thought he had prepared everything well.

However, at that moment, he felt anxious. His palms were also sweating from being nervous.

He did not even know what he was saying. He was so afraid that he was speaking incoherently.

Tristan took the bouquet of roses from the basket and took out a ring box. Then, he got down on one knee and opened the box.

“Will you allow me to stay by your side for the rest of your life?” I won't let go of your hand forever.

That kind of proposal seemed old-fashioned to outsiders.

However, Sophie was touched because that place was where their fate started intertwining.

And today, they were back there.

This feeling is simply amazing.

Tristan was sweating bullets when he noticed that Sophie was not giving him a response.

Oh, no... What should I do? Is she not satisfied with the way I proposed?

Sophie nodded.

“I'll marry you. I also want to be with you forever.” She was not a dramatic person. Ever since she was sure she wanted to be with him, she was determined to spend the rest of her life with him and never let go of him.

Tristan was happy when he heard what she said. He took the ring from the velvet box and slid it onto her finger. He then got up and pushed her against the wall before pressing his lips to hers for a passionate kiss.

It was an assertive kiss to stake his claim on her. That's right. From today onward, this woman is mine. No one will be able to steal her away from me. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

They pulled apart from the kiss. Tristan got on the bicycle and turned to look at her.

“Get on! Let me take you for a ride!” He had prepared all the flowers by the road for her. It was only natural that he would bring her to see them.

Although both of them had seen better scenery, the one in front of them was one they would never forget.

“Mmm!”

Sophie sat sideways on the bicycle and wrapped both her arms around his waist as she leaned her head on his back.

Tristan rode the bicycle and made his way forward.

Tristan was not satisfied with the proposal today but had no other ideas on how to do it.

He had also done his research on the internet and thought of doing something extravagant. However, he chose to return to the place where they had first met in the end.

Although it was not a perfect proposal, he was elated at that moment.

He sat at the front and rode the bicycle while she sat behind him and enjoyed the ride. This kind of feeling is not that bad.

It was a very long alley. They were met with passersby staring at them when they rode out of the alley. This man looks so handsome, but he's smiling like an idiot.

Wow, the woman behind him looks beautiful! She has such soft and gentle features!

Many passersby could not help but admire the couple. So this is love! Sometimes, love was something that was very simple.

Sophie took a shower when they returned to the hotel. Her lips were still curved into a smile. She felt that Tristan was truly happy today.

She was drying her hair with a towel when she heard a knock on the door. She opened it to see Tristan leaning against the door frame.

“Sophie, what should I do? I'm so excited that I can't sleep! Can you stay up and talk to me?”

It was slightly past ten at night. Indeed, it was still too early for bed.
