Pursuing Her Chapter 117

Chapter 117 His Childishness

Tristan entered his car but didn't drive away at once.Instead, he took a cigarette out of the box, lit it,

and puffed on it in intervals.Mason continued to phone Sophie, but she still didn't pick up.And in his

next attempt after that, he realized she had already blocked his number.The man smiled

bitterly. She's the same as always, never leaving any room for mercy.“Are you really that heartless,

Sophie? Are you not going to forgive me no matter what I do?"Mason returned to his vehicle, but

instead of driving off, he remained outside the apartment building for the rest of the night.He

waited all night and finally alighted his vehicle after seeing Sophie appear at the entrance to the

building early the next morning.”Soph, why didn’t you pick up? Can't we stay in contact as regular

friends?”Having to see him first thing in the morning put Sophie in a bad mood.”l don't think we

can even be friends at this point, so drop it. You have no right to talk to me in that accusing

tone."Just as the woman was about to leave, Mason hastily grabbed her by the wrist."I've already

broken up with Willow. Let's stop harping over what happened five years ago, okay? Can we just

start over?” Mason asked pleadingly.He was so helpless before her and just couldn't forget her even

after five years had passed.Sophie was usually grumpy in the morning, and hearing this man’s

nonsense really made her seethe that she tackled him to the ground.”I told you not to tell me about

your disgusting love affairs with Willow. I'm not interested. You can deal with whatever happens

between you guys on your own. Why bother coming to me?Just like Mason, Tristan naturally hadn't

left since last night either.Seeing what was happening, the latter broke into a genuine smile while

inside his car.That's just like her. She's always so full of energy.Mason got back on his feet."Are you

still mad at me, Soph? I admit I was wrong for not taking your side five years ago.”"Mad at you? I

have no need to feel that way. Don’t assume everyone has as much free time on their hands as you

do! I have plenty of other things to worry about, so leave me alone.”Seeing there was no way to get

through to her, Mason figured he would make better progress with his actions.But at that moment,

Sophie noticed Tristan standing behind Mason and called out, "Are you done watching? Let's go get

breakfast. Tristan stopped smiling.”Sure.” He was clearly in a good mood today and wouldn't get

upset no matter what Sophie said. Seeing her torment his rival in love like this made him feel as if

he was on cloud nine.Mason quickly went after them.”"Who is he, Sophie? Do you know who this guy

is?” he asked, not wanting to give up.”"Who he is has nothing to do with you,” Sophie retorted. “Just

watch yourself and make sure Willow doesn't cause me any trouble.”She then took Tristan to her

favorite place to get breakfast pies.The woman ordered two pies and gave one to him."Here. It's

really good.” She had discovered this dish by chance.Costing only five each, it was filling and tasted

unbelievable. Tristan took the pie from her and sat on a chair placed on the sidewalk.He then picked

up the disposable cutlery and began to eat next to her.Both of them were especially good-looking

that despite only sitting there and enjoying some breakfast pies, they slowly attracted the gazes of

many passersby.“Isn’t that Sophie Tanner? How did she land herself such a hot guy?*“l wonder too.

He's so handsome. He looks like a prince who walked out of a TV screen. Everything about him

seems so noble.”’Knock it off. What kind of prince would eat a breakfast pie at the side of a road

like that?"“You're right, but I love how he looks.”"Oh, please. Anyone who hangs around with Sophie

has to be just as trashy as she is."A man who had been listening in all the while couldn't help but

chime in, “You're all clearly jealous. Every guy Sophie hangs out with always looks exceptional.”

Sophie didn’t have much of a good reputation, but there was no denying how stunning she

looked. Tristan could naturally hear the conversation too.Having finished his breakfast pie, he threw

the disposable box and cutlery into the trash can nearby.Then, seeing him stare at her the whole

time, Sophie gave him the rest of her pie.”"Was it not enough for you? I'll buy you a bigger one next

time." Tristan didn't know how to respond.He was actually full, but nevertheless, he took her

remaining food and finished it."Now that we've had breakfast, I think it's time you head back.” She

still had a lot to deal with at school. Today is not a good day for me.”Okay. Remember, you can call

me if there's anything you can't handle on your own. I'll be right there no matter what it is.”Since

she didn't want him to interfere with her affairs, he decided to let her have her freedom. But if the

end result wasn't something he wanted, he would step in without fail.“Okay,” Sophie answered

frostily. Tristan didn’t know what to do with her.He felt slightly better after caressing her hair and

leaving it in a mess.Sophie stared at the man in frustration. It was her first time seeing such a

childish side of him.“Go on. I'll leave after watching you enter."The young woman walked past

him.Ultimately, he couldn't resist grabbing onto her arm and pulling her into a hug.He then kissed

her on the forehead.Sophie was furious, but seeing her in that state made Tristan happy.She was

always so cold toward everyone, like a robot. That was why the man always wanted to aggravate

her. Watching her grow infuriated made him feel as if he was different from everyone else.Mason

had been following them the whole time, and he found himself unable to breathe at the sight of the

way they interacted with one another.She actually let him kiss her?He was so envious that he nearly

went mad.When Sophie arrived at the classroom, all the students stared at her gloatingly.However,

the young woman paid no attention to those jealous eyes.Not long after, the principal's secretary

dropped by. “Sophie Tanner, Mr. Langston wants to see you,” he announced, sounding much more

amicable than before. The girls who heard that began to whisper among themselves.”She won't be

able to get away this time."”I think so too. I heard Bailey's mom is here. You know she’s the school

director. The fact that even she has to make an appearance shows what a big deal the situation has

become.” I've met Bailey's mom once. She's super terrifying. Sophie's done for this time."
