Chapter 102 No Match For You
âTanny?" Felix could not believe that he had just heard Tristan call himself that.Ysabelle thought, It
seems like Uncle Tristan is quite serious about his relationship with Sophie. It's my first time seeing
Uncle Tristan being so polite with someone. He's not even like that when talking to his own
grandpa!âTanny, come and visit me with Soph when you're free.â Josiah truly liked Tristan, and he
felt that Tristan would be able to protect Sophie well.âOkay, Old Mr. Tanner. I'll definitely visit you
with Sophie when I get the chance to.ââOkay. Do take care of Soph."Josiah talked to Tristan for a
dozen minutes before asking the latter to return the phone to Sophie.âSoph, I think Tannyâs not a
bad choice. He's a hundred times better than Mason.ââGrandpa, heâs more than a hundred times
better than Mason,â Sophie replied. In fact, Mr. Tristan and Mason aren't even on the same level.
There's no need to even use the same standards to compare them."That's right. You're right!â Josiah
was at ease to hear Sophie say that.Regardless of how things were between Mason and Willow,
Mason was no longer associated with Sophie.Moreover, Josiah could see that Tristan was treating
Sophie sincerely, and that was enough for him.â"Remember to come and visit me when you're
free.â"Okay, I'll come and visit you in a few days.â Arius had not returned from Anglandur yet. Once
Arius was back, Sophie planned to find a chance to get her grandfather to go for a full-body
checkup.He still had to undergo the surgery, and Sophie was confident in Arius.Once the call ended,
Sophie sat down beside Ysabelle.âDoes it still hurt?"Ysabelle chuckled. âSoph, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt
anymore."Although Ysabelle tended to act like a spoiled princess, the pain she felt was overcome by
her desire to protect Sophie from harm."Tsk. I wonder who was the one shedding tears when their
wounds were getting treated earlier,â Felix pointed out mercilessly.Ysabelle kicked his waist."D*mn it,
Felix. Are you trying to embarrass me?"âLook at how lively she is. She's fine. You don't need to worry
about her,â Tristan said nonchalantly.Ysabelle was speechless.Fine. I no longer exist in Uncle Tristanâs
heart as long as Sophie's around, then I guess I shouldn't embarrass myself further.âOkay. I'll go to
sleep if there's nothing else.âSophie then stood up to return to her room.âMr. Tristan, I've never seen
you being so humble and polite with anyone else. It seems like you're really planning to get
Sophie. Tristan ignored him.At that, Felix scratched his nose awkwardly.âTo be honest, Sophie isn't a
match for you in terms of background.âIt was highly likely that William would disapprove of them if
the two of them were to get together.However, Ysabelle was the first to voice her
disagreement.âFelix, what are you trying to say? Which part of Soph isn't a match for Uncle Tristan?
Even if one of them isnât a match for the other, it would be Uncle Tristan not being a good match for
Soph. He's ten years older than her!â Ysabelle cried out agitatedly.Then, she belatedly realized that
her uncle was staring at her, looking as if he was about to murder her.Instantly, Ysabelle hid behind
Felix."Uncle Tristan, that isn't what I mean. It's just that...â she explained to her uncle.This is all Felix's
fault! Uncle Tristan looks so scary right now! What am I going to do? Sophie's already back in her
room, so no one can save me!âFelix, don't say something like this again. I'm the one with the final
say, and if I think sheâs a match for me, then sheâs a match for me.â No one else's words were going
to change Tristanâs mind."Okay, I got it."Felix had been working for Tristan for over a decade. How
could he possibly not know Tristanâs character?Unlike most people, the angrier Tristan was, the
calmer he appeared to be.At that moment, Tristan was livid, and it was because Felix said that
Sophie was not a match for him.âGo to bed.""Okay."Upon receiving Tristan's order, Ysabelle leaped
from the couch and rushed to her room.Oh, thank god! Thank god Uncle Tristan didnât seem to
mind what I said. When the two men were the only ones left, Tristan asked in a nonchalant tone,
âFelix, am I old?"âHoly sh*t!â Felix was stumped. What's the matter with Mr. Tristan? Can he stop
scaring me? âMr. Tristan, you're only twenty-eight! You're at the peak of your youth; you're at the
prime years of a manâs life!"âPeak of my youth?"âThat isnât important; what's important is that, Mr.
Tristan, do you know how many women are after you? I can't believe you just said that you're old.
Please stop scaring me!"âWhat's the point of having many women after me? I just want one."Felix
fell silent.If Jipsdale's female socialites hear what he just said, I wonder how many would choose to
jump off buildings. It's only now that I know Mr. Tristan is such a faithful and devoted man despite
the fact that I've worked for him for so many years.âMr. Tristan, don't you think that you've fallen for
her too quickly? Could it be that you're only feeling this way because she saved you?"Am I you?
Am I someone who doesnât even know whether or not I love someone?âFelix widened his eyes. Did I
offend him in any way? All I did was fall for Ysabelle! Forget it. I don't dare to retort him.The next
morning, Sophie woke up and went to get a glass of water. Just as she stepped out of the room, she
encountered Tristan.Sophie had just woken up, so she had a relaxed look on her face. As the collar
of her nightgown was too loose, the gown was slanted to one side, revealing her smooth shoulder
to all. Her pretty collarbones were a deadly attraction to Tristan.Upon seeing the man in front of her,
Sophie was abruptly reminded of how her house had two men staying in it.Just as she was about to
return to her room to change her clothes, Tristan pinned her against the wall behind her When she
was locked in place, Sophie lifted her beautiful eyes to look at the man, who clearly just woke up as
well.âMr. Tristan...â Sophie voiced, and she was surprised to hear her own voice. It was not that she
was doing it deliberately.However, there was already a fire burning in Tristanâs eyes. Sophie's
morning voice sounded soothing and soft.Hearing that made the lower part of his abdomen tighten
as another part of his body awakened.âAhem.â Sophie averted her eyes, not daring to meet his eyes
anymore.Tristan then lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.Sophie bit her bottom lip,
wondering, Is he trying to add fuel to the fire?When the man saw the young woman bit on her pink
lower lip, he felt as if he had been electrified. Then, as he supported himself with one hand against
the wall, he used his other hand to pull her nightgown's collar together.Sophieâs heart was beating
quicker and quicker as he adjusted the collar for her.âPut on your clothes properly. I'm not as much
as a gentleman you think 1 am.â The truth was that Tristan had been holding himself back with great
difficulty.After a moment of silence, she replied, âSorry. I've slept my mind away and forgotten that
you and Felix are here.âSophie had been staying in that house alone recently, and since she had had
a good night's sleep the night before, she had completely forgotten that there were two men
staying in her house. Tristan then pressed a kiss on her lips as punishment.âAm I someone you'll
forget that easily?"Sophie was rendered speechless. Fine! Mr. Tristanâs quite petty. I did say I'm still
groggy.Right then, Ysabelle came out of her room and happened to see her uncle kissing Sophie as
he pinned her against the wall. Instantly, she panicked.What am I going to do now? Do I get back
into my room, or should I greet them as if nothing has happened?Nevertheless, before she could
come to a decision, Sophie spotted her.
