Chapter 130 Kneel In Repentance
Mason was gripped with envy after seeing how Tristan wrapped Sophie in his arms.âSoph, don't
make a hasty decision just because you hate me.âSophie let Tristanâs arms circle her waist and sneer
at Mason.âMason, you're so full of yourself.â Refusing to continue the conversation further, Sophie
turned on her heel and tugged Tristan with her to leave.This is the first time sheâs holding my
hand. Tristan stared at the hands clasped together for a while before he covered her small hand with
his.Mason was furious at their departure. I finally worked up the courage to owe up to my mistake
from five years ago. Why wouldn't she forgive me?âSophie, what can I do to get you to forgive
me?âAll he wanted was a chance.Sophieâs steps didn't falter. She didn't like anyone or anything
clinging to her. Since the situation was already like that, words were meaningless at that point.Cheat
on me once, and I'm never taking you back. That's my principle, and nothing can change that.
Hence, Mason's words mean nothing to me.Seeing her leaving with another man without the
slightest hesitation, Mason fell to his knees with a loud thud. Willow stared at Mason with
disbelief. How can he do this? Is he still the proud Mason? Why is he acting like this whenever
Sophie is around?âGet up, Mason! What are you doing? Are you still a man? How could you kneel at
her?"Tristan looked over his shoulder and saw his rival kneeling on the floor.He really likes Sophie.
Well, due to his past betrayal, he doesn't deserve any sympathy no matter what he does now or
how much he likes her.Sophie turned her head and saw Mason kneeling on the ground. The
expression on her face looked colder at the unseemly sight.âIs this necessary, Mason?â Well, I'm not
going to stop him since he wants to do it. Honestly, I don't care what he does.âSoph, I was wrong. I
should've trusted you. I shouldn't have left you. I regret it now. Do you know I would dream of you
every night for the past five years? You have always been on my mind. I can't forget you. Can you
please give me another chance? We can leave this city and start a new life somewhere else. Would
you like that? I don't mind doing anything as long as I'm with you.â"Sorry, you might want that but
not me. Why would I leave this city? The one in the wrong was never me in the first place.â Sophie
turned to Tristan. âI don't want to go back to the room anymore. Let's get out of here." Tristan
removed his coat and slid it over her shoulder as he led her to the exit.He said I could go wherever I
wanted. However, no one can force me to do anything I don't want to.Mason was still on his knee
even after Tristan and Sophie had left. Willow went over to help him up, but no matter how hard she
pulled, he refused to stand.âMason, let me send you back.â Willow pleaded, âPlease don't do this.
Sophie doesn't want you, but you still have me. I always have my eyes on you. Can't we just be
together?"âI've wronged her. I refused to listen to her explanation and just took off when she
needed me the most. What do you even see in someone like me?"Mason got up to his feet and left
the karaoke bar looking absent-minded.He wasn't paying attention when he crossed the road, and a
car crashed into him.Willow had been right behind him all the while. When she saw the car hit him,
she raced over to his side.Her hands were covered with blood when she touched him."Don't scare
me, Mason! Mason, what's wrong? Are you okay?â Willow almost cried her eyes out. However,
Mason merely mumbled, âI'm sorry, Sophie."Tristan drove to Breakwater Port. The place was
deserted, except for the two of them.Silence hung heavy in the car.l have no idea what Mason
means to her, but does he really mean nothing to her?Tristan was annoyed at the long silence.âAm I
too heartless?â Sophie asked.Tristan reached for her hand to comfort her. His heart ached for
everything she had to face in the past.If I had met her earlier, then she wouldn't have had to face
everything alone. She was probably only thirteen to fourteen years old at that time.âNo. I agree with
every decision you make no matter what you do.â None of those who have hurt her can ask for her
forgiveness.Sophie nodded.âI think so too.â"Letâs head back.â It's getting late, and she still has things
to do tomorrow.Sophie nodded.Tristan pulled up in front of the Wisteria Apartments. When Sophie
got out of the car, Tristan followed suit."You can go back.â It's already so late. He should go back
and rest.After taking out an exquisite box from the trunk, Tristan walked over to her."Merry
Christmas!âSophie took the box from his hand and looked up at him.âThank you, but I didn't
prepare any gifts for you.â It's fine. Meeting you is the best present."That was how Tristan truly
felt. Sophie's ears warmed at the sweet words coming out of his mouth."I'll head up then.â have
always thought I'm strong enough now, but I can't believe I have a soft side in front of him.After
watching the elevator door close, Tristan whirled around and left. Sophie's phone started ringing the
minute she got back to her room.âSoph, where are you?â The call was from Josiah. It's already so
late into the night. I'm shocked that heâs still up."What's wrong, Grandpa? It's already this late. Why
aren't you asleep?â She could hear something serious had happened from his tone."Mason met with
a car accident.â Josiah did like Mason in the past, but he preferred Tanny now.Even though she felt
nothing for Mason, Sophie didn't know how to react to that piece of news."It's late, Grandpa. Rest
well. This matter has nothing to do with you, so ignore it."After all, Sophie couldn't just pretend
nothing had happened after hearing about the boy she was once fond of getting into an
accident. Meanwhile, Mason was still in the ICU at the hospital. Willow's whole body was shaking like
a leaf as she sat on the bench alone.Constance arrived at the hospital after getting a call. She
spotted Willow sitting on the bench all covered in blood.She raced over to Willow and pulled her
up.âWillow, what happened? Didn't I ask you to take good care of Mason? How did things turn out
like this?"âI'm sorry, Mrs. Laird. I didnât know this would happen. I should've stopped Mason. I
shouldn't let him meet with Sophie, or he wouldn't end up like this. I'm really sorry. I really didn't
know what to do. If Mason is gone, I won't let him go alone.â
