Pursuing Her Chapter 298

You Have A Death Wish

For someone who was used to the splendor of Jipsdale city life, it was really

depressing to stay in Alendor for a change. “All right. I will tell Mr. Tristan when I

have the chance.”

Charles threw a glance at Tristan who was sitting beside Sophie. Since Tristan

had sent Winter to Alendor, Charles reckoned that she would not be able to

come back for quite some time.

“Charles, you guys are at Nocturnal, right?” Winter grew alarmed at the sound

of the music on the other end of the phone. “All right, I’m going to hang up now.”

Charles’ mood turned foul after hanging up the call. It was indeed pitiful for

Winter to be all alone in Alendor. Sean came over and patted him on the

shoulder. “Was that Winter?”

“Yes.” Charles did not hide the fact that he had been talking to Winter. After all,

she was his sister, and there was no way he could just ignore her.

“Let’s find a chance and try to talk to Mr. Tristan again.” No matter what, they

had grown up together, and they were still friends with each other. However,

Winter should not have offended Sophie in the first place.

“Thank you,” Charles muttered.

Sean patted his shoulder again.

“All right, that’s enough. Let’s not ruin the vibe. Look on the bright side. It’s great

that she gets a chance to steel herself in Alendor. She’s too spoiled for her own

good anyway,” Sean said.

Charles knew Sean was right.

Winter was too proud and entitled for thinking that she could get anything and

everything she liked.

She was oblivious to the fact that love, or in this case, the lack thereof, could not

be rationalized.

Similarly, nobody knew that Tristan would change completely after knowing

Sophie.

It was not a bad thing, per se. However, he was a changed man and was

completely different from his past self.

Because of that, he had become a much more approachable man.

Sophie sat on the couch and played with her phone. She was not in the slightest

interested in everything that was going on in Nocturnal.

Tristan was sitting beside her as he put his hands on the couch, essentially

circling her in his embrace.

Ysabelle watched the two from aside and smiled. “Aunt Sarah, I did not expect

that Uncle Tristan will act so lovey-dovey when he’s in love.”

“Tell me about it. He’s so serious about this relationship,” Sarah quipped. She

knew that Tristan was a man who took relationships seriously. He had been

alone all these years, but he fell hard for Sophie when she came into his life.

“But Sophie deserves it,” Ysabelle said as she watched the couple gleefully.

Sophie felt her ears turning red when she noticed that Tristan had been staring

at her.

“Do you have something to say?”

“Sophie, do you really find the phone in your hand to be more interesting than

me?” That’s disappointing.

Sophie kept her phone and turned to look at him.

When their eyes met, sparks of electricity sizzled in the air.

“I’m going to kiss you if you keep looking at me like that,” Tristan said. Sophie’s

beautiful face was a sight to behold, and the lighting at Nocturnal only served to

accentuate her charm and make her seem all the more alluring.

Fine.

Since Tristan said so, Sophie did not think it was appropriate to keep staring into

his eyes and averted her gaze.

Not far away from them, a man was showing off his six-packs, and Sophie Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

happened to see him when she glanced around the bar. She did not intend to

check him out.

However, before she could react, her head was turned to the other side by

Tristan.

“Don’t look!”

Why look at that sleazy muscular man? He’s got nothing to show!

Sophie sighed.

“Mr. Tristan, what do you want me to do then? I can’t look at you, and I can’t

look at other people as well,” Sophie groaned.

“Just look at me if you have to. That man’s six-packs aren’t even worth looking

at. His lines are not even that defined!” Tristian grumbled.

Sophie was rendered speechless.

“What? It’s true. I’m going to show you mine if there’s a chance. I’ll show you

what defined and perfectly chiseled muscles look like,” Tristan protested.

“Actually, I didn’t get the chance to have a good look at his six-packs. Why don’t

you let me have another look so that I know how to gauge yours?” Sophie said.

She only caught sight of that man for a fleeting moment.

“I told you he had nothing to show. It’s great that you didn’t get to see it properly.

It saves you the trouble to wash your eyes.”

“Ah, I see,” Sophie mumbled nonchalantly.

Sophie was actually not interested in the muscular man. Hence, she did not

bother to turn back around to have another look.

“Uncle Tristan, I didn’t know you were so possessive! It’s just one look. It’s no

big deal. Did you have to forbid her from taking another glance?”

Felix dragged Ysabelle aside as he wondered if she had a death wish. How

dare she tell Mr. Tristan off!

Sophie pried off Tristan’s hands which were cupping her cheeks when she

heard Ysabelle’s words.

“Let’s go and dance!” Ysabelle said as she took Sophie’s hand and led her to

the dance floor.

Nocturnal was bustling with life that night, and Ysabelle was tempted to join in

on the fun.

Sophie did not share her sentiment. However, seeing as Ysabelle was excited

to get on the dance floor, Sophie relented and went along with her.

Tristan did not stop Sophie. He knew that given her age, she was supposed to

enjoy herself.

Nonetheless, he did not expect that she would get herself in trouble.

Sophie was not interested in dancing. Hence, even when she was dragged by

Ysabelle to the dance floor, she merely rocked herself gently to the beat.

Ysabelle, on the other hand, removed her coat and exposed her tight black

clothing underneath that showed off her alluring curves. Her presence on the

dance floor immediately incited ecstatic whistles from the onlookers.

Before they were on the dance floor, Louisa and her friends had been the center

of attention. However, the men immediately turned their attention to Ysabelle

when she showed up. Though Sophie was keeping a rather low profile, her

beautiful face had managed to garner the attention of some men as well.

Louisa grew agitated at the sight, especially when she thought about how

Mason still could not walk on his own, and yet Sophie was already out partying

at Nocturnal.

Hence, she deliberately bumped into Ysabelle, making the latter stumble to the

floor.

There were a lot of people on the dance floor. Louisa and her friends did not

stop at knocking Ysabelle to the ground. Instead, they continued to dance and

“accidentally” stepped on Ysabelle’s hand.

Louisa and her friends were in heels, and naturally, Ysabelle squirmed from the

pain.

She wanted to get up from the ground. However, there were too many people

crowding the dance floor. In addition to Louisa and her friends’ deliberate

efforts, Ysabelle struggled to stand up.

Sophie’s face sank when she noticed that Louisa and her friends were targeting

Ysabelle. She pushed Louisa aside and crouched down to help Ysabelle get up.

Incidentally, the music stopped right then.

The others watched on as they noticed that the girls were about to engage in a

cat fight.

The notion of a group of pretty girls fighting excited them.

Louisa was unfazed when she noticed that Sophie was trying to stand up for her

friend. After all, the Yarborough family was quite influential in Jipsdale, so much

so that nobody in their right mind would dare to cross Louisa.

“Oh, I’m so sorry! There are too many people here. You’re not hurt, right?”

Louisa asked in a provoking tone. In fact, she was extremely pleased to see

Ysabelle’s swollen hand.

Pfft, what’s so special about Sophie? I don’t give a d*mn about the Tanner

family.

“Louisa, I see that you have a death wish,” Sophie said through gritted

teeth. Since she has a death wish, I might as well make her wish come true.
