Chapter 128 Green With Envy
The moment Mason heard that, understanding dawned upon him. Is there no longer a place for
me?âThat has nothing to do with you. Go back first."âGo back with me, Mason! I beg you! Can we
not be together happily?â Willow sounded exceedingly pathetic. Really, all I want is to be with him.
Is that too much to ask?However, Mason didnât pay her words any heed. Instead, he got into his
car.Unwilling to go home, Willow pulled open the car door and climbed into the car as well. Never
would she allow him to go after Sophie alone.At that, Mason couldn't help jerking his head back
and glowering at her."What are you doing? Did you not hear me telling you to go back? Why are
you following me? I've already made things clear to you. There's no future between us!â He didn't
leave any room for negotiation.When Willow heard that, the urge to cry seized her."There are many
of them, yet you want to follow them? What are you planning to do? I'm worried about you.â don't
need your concern.âNo matter what Mason said, Willow refused to get out of the car, adamant that
she wanted to go with him.In truth, she did not want Mason to be with Sophie alone. I'll never give
them such a chance!As Tristan drove, he peered at the luxurious car tailing him through the rear
view mirror.The corners of his mouth curved into a smirk. This man really doesn't give up.âMr. Laird
is following behind us.âHe didn't make an arbitrary decision but asked Sophie for her opinion. After
all, the man was following them because of her.Therefore, only she had the right to deal with
it. Sophie glanced at the rear view mirror. Sure enough, she caught sight of Mason's car. Her brows
inexorably creased. What is he trying to do? Hadn't I made things clear? Could it be that he has a
comprehension problem?âJust ignore him. I have nothing to do with him."The car drove straight to
Ducat Karaoke Bar. As Tristan wasn't fond of visiting such places in the past, no one knew him
there.â"How many persons, sir?"âHaven't Felix and the others arrived?"âOh, you're with Mr. Northley!
This way, please."The employee led them to the private room where Felix and the others were.He
pushed open the door and allowed Sophie to enter first. As soon as Ysabelle saw that Sophie had
arrived, she immediately made space beside her."Over here, Soph!âSophie went over to Ysabelle and
sat down beside her.âWhy did it take you so long to arrive? Weren't you both right behind us? Spit
it out. Where did you and my uncle go?âHearing that, Winter likewise perked up her ears to catch
their answer.âNowhere."Truth be told, Sophie was puzzled herself. Tristanâs driving skills were
superb, but he drove exceptionally slow that day.Unbeknownst to them, the man did it on purpose.
He simply wanted to spend more time with her.Glasses abounded on the table in the karaoke bar.
Many of them were filled with wine."Letâs drink to our heart's content today!" Felix declared
domineeringly. Everyone is happy today, so it doesn't matter even if we imbibe a bit more.Ysabelle
wasn't interested in drinking. She went over to the screen and selected a few songs.Then, she asked
Sophie, âIs there any song you'd like to sing, Soph? We can sing together.â"However, Sophie shook
her head in demurral. âYou go ahead. I'll just listen as you sing.ââNo way, Soph! You've got to sing
when you're at the karaoke bar! Besides, I noticed that you were truly in sync with Mark back then.
As such, your singing must be really melodious!"âHear, hear! Sophie's voice is sweet in the first
place, so her singing must be music to the ears!â Felix couldn't help echoing. No matter what
Ysabelle said, he agreed with it all.âl really am sorry, Mr. Tristan.â Holding a glass of wine in hand,
Winter downed it in a single go before Tristan.Tristan picked up a glass of whiskey and took a sip
without saying anything.Winter didn't dare speak further, so she could only shrink back and sit
down beside Charles.âAll right, don't harbor any more inappropriate thoughts. Mr. Tristan isn't
someone you can dream about.âAll Charles could do was comfort her. She isn't malicious in nature.
She merely loves him too much.Nevertheless, Winter's gaze remained fixated on Tristan.He's too
good to Sophie, meticulous to a fault. I've never imagined that he would treat someone this
tenderly.âLet's sing together, Soph!â Ysabelle handed the microphone to Sophie.Sophie took the
microphone, but she placed it on the table in front of her.âYou go ahead. I don't like to sing.â"Okay,
then. In that case, I'll be singing! Just tell Felix if you need anything."Ysabelle's singing was really
incredible. Her voice was sweet, so it was perfect for her to sing such gentle love songs.She was
exceedingly focused when she sang, rendering her very much attractive. Felix sat in the corner and
gazed at her. She was all he saw.After finishing one song, Ysabelle continued singing another song.
This time, it was an extremely popular Ustranasion song recently. Still, it suited her perfectly. Winter
got up and went over to the screen. Selecting a song, she shifted it to the top.When Ysabelle was
done singing, it would be that song of hers.She stood there leaning against the wall. From that
angle, she could perceive all of Tristanâs reactions.It was a song about a confession of love, of which
the lyrics spoke of the girl's feelings and her love for the man. The astringent feeling from it would
make one feel anguished.It was clear as day that she was directing that song to Tristan. Regretfully,
she was the only one who felt touched after the entire song.In the meantime, Tristan had already sat
down beside Sophie. The two of them merely sat there without exchanging a word. However, they
looked incredibly harmonious.Sophie lifted her hand and picked up a glass of whiskey.Seeing that,
Tristan promptly grabbed her hand. He brought it before him and drank the whiskey in her glass as
he maneuvered her hand.âDrink at home if you want to drink. Don't drink in front of them.â He
wasn't willing to allow Charles and the others to see her sloshed.Sophie arched a brow. Well, well,
well... He's really possessive.By then, Winter had finished singing. Alas, Tristan never once paid her
any mind.She felt devastated, but she couldn't do anything about it.All she could do was sit in the
corner as though she didn't exist.Just then, Tristan selected a song.It was an Ustranasion duet song.
It wasn't a very popular song, but he really liked it a lot.Upon seeing that her uncle was truly going
to sing, Ysabelle quickly handed him two microphones.âHere, Uncle Tristan.â She wore a docile
expression and acted cute.Taking the two microphones, Tristan handed one of them to
Sophie.Sophie quirked a brow.âLetâs sing together.â His voice was remarkably deep, very much
seductive as it drifted into her ears.In response, Sophie nodded in agreement. All right! Since he's
willing to accompany me here, singing a song with him is perfectly within reason.Charles, Sean, and
Felix grew up with Tristan, but even they had never heard the man sing.Of course, Winter went
green with envy.Argh! The difference is too vast. I sang to him, confessing my love, but he didn't
even bother listening. On the contrary, Sophie gets duet with him!
