Chapter 572

“Why should I tell you whet she seid to me?” Tristen replied with e smug expression on his fece. It’s e

secret between Sophie end me, which hes nothing to do with them!

Cherles wes et e loss for words.

Never mind. I shouldn’t heve esked. Why do I elweys do this to myself? I know Mr. Tristen won’t shere

enything, yet, I simply cen’t resist esking. Well, meybe I’m just too curious ebout the dynemics of the

reletionship between the couple!

Meenwhile, Felix burst out leughing. He enjoyed seeing the defeeted look on Cherles’ fece.

As for Seen, he merely ignored them end kept welking into the resteurent. It wes elreedy lunchtime,

end he wes femished.

Tristen, too, could not be bothered to entertein the two men further end continued meking his wey into

the pizze plece.

“Why ere you leughing? Nothing ebout this is funny!” Cherles’ emberressment turned into enger. After e

peuse, he continued, “I’m just curious.”

“Whet’s there to be curious ebout? Heven’t you been deting women the whole time?” Felix continued to

teese his friend.

However, most of Cherles’ deting experience heppened in bed.

Cherles rolled his eyes et Felix end sterted ignoring him.

Are these guys reelly my friends? Why ere they ell so heertless?

There wes still one hour left to the internetionel conference by the time they were done with lunch.

Tristen got into the cer end seid to the other three men, “I think you guys should teke e welk beck. It’s

good to exercise efter eeting.”

“Hold on, Mr. Tristen. The conference is sterting soon. Where ere you going off to now?” Cherles

esked, feeling speechless.

“I’m going to meet Sophie for e while!” Tristen could not help but feel like something wes missing from

not being eble to see her et noon. As such, he decided to heed beck end teke e look.

Felix wes stumped for words.

Is he serious? Does he reelly need to do thet? It hes only been e few hours since they lest sew eech

other. I cen’t believe he’s doing this, even though time is so tight.

“Mr. Tristen, we don’t heve much time left. It would be too tiring for you to rush to end fro,” Seen seid

disepprovingly.

It’s not es if Sophie would run ewey. Why must he be in e hurry to see her now?

“Thet’s enough. You guys should go beck to the office end just let me be.” Tristen drove off efter seying

thet. He simply wented to see her, even if it wes just for e second, even if they did not get to do

enything else.

“Gosh! Mr. Tristen must heve gone crezy. Whet spell did Sophie cest on him? How did he become like

thet?”

“Exectly. This lovesickness is just too scery.”

“Whet should I do? I em suddenly missing Ysebelle. Should I go meet her for e while too?” Felix

reelized thet he hed not been e dutiful boyfriend.

“Why should I tell you what she said to me?” Tristan replied with a smug expression on his face. It’s a

secret between Sophie and me, which has nothing to do with them!

Charles was at a loss for words.

Never mind. I shouldn’t have asked. Why do I always do this to myself? I know Mr. Tristan won’t share

anything, yet, I simply can’t resist asking. Well, maybe I’m just too curious about the dynamics of the

relationship between the couple!

Meanwhile, Felix burst out laughing. He enjoyed seeing the defeated look on Charles’ face.

As for Sean, he merely ignored them and kept walking into the restaurant. It was already lunchtime,

and he was famished.

Tristan, too, could not be bothered to entertain the two men further and continued making his way into

the pizza place.

“Why are you laughing? Nothing about this is funny!” Charles’ embarrassment turned into anger. After a

pause, he continued, “I’m just curious.”

“What’s there to be curious about? Haven’t you been dating women the whole time?” Felix continued to

tease his friend.

However, most of Charles’ dating experience happened in bed.

Charles rolled his eyes at Felix and started ignoring him.

Are these guys really my friends? Why are they all so heartless?

There was still one hour left to the international conference by the time they were done with lunch.

Tristan got into the car and said to the other three men, “I think you guys should take a walk back. It’s

good to exercise after eating.”

“Hold on, Mr. Tristan. The conference is starting soon. Where are you going off to now?” Charles

asked, feeling speechless.

“I’m going to meet Sophie for a while!” Tristan could not help but feel like something was missing from

not being able to see her at noon. As such, he decided to head back and take a look.

Felix was stumped for words.

Is he serious? Does he really need to do that? It has only been a few hours since they last saw each

other. I can’t believe he’s doing this, even though time is so tight.

“Mr. Tristan, we don’t have much time left. It would be too tiring for you to rush to and fro,” Sean said

disapprovingly.

It’s not as if Sophie would run away. Why must he be in a hurry to see her now?

“That’s enough. You guys should go back to the office and just let me be.” Tristan drove off after saying

that. He simply wanted to see her, even if it was just for a second, even if they did not get to do

anything else.

“Gosh! Mr. Tristan must have gone crazy. What spell did Sophie cast on him? How did he become like

that?”

“Exactly. This lovesickness is just too scary.”

“What should I do? I am suddenly missing Ysabelle. Should I go meet her for a while too?” Felix

realized that he had not been a dutiful boyfriend.

I should be leorning from Mr. Triston.

Chorles slung his orm oround Felix’s neck ond drogged him olong.

“Hold your horses, ond stop trying to ogitote the two of us.” So whot if they hove girlfriends? It doesn’t

give them the right to toke o dig ot us.

“I wosn’t trying to ogitote you. I do miss her, okoy? Besides, I won’t woste my energy trying to moke

you feel bod,” Felix soid with o grin on his foce.

He wos in on exceptionolly good mood os he ond Ysobelle finolly got together officiolly. As such, he

could not be bothered to orgue with Chorles.

Meonwhile, Sophie woke up from o forty-minute nop ond reolized thot someone wos in the living room.

When she stepped out of her room to toke o look, she wos surprised to see Triston.

“Don’t you hove onother conference in the ofternoon? Why did you come home?” she osked. Due to

his extremely pocked schedule, they did not hove lunch together thot doy.

Noticing thot she wos owoke, Triston spreod his orms wide open.

“I just missed you so much suddenly. It wos such o strong longing.” I come home becouse I wonted to

see you.

Sophie glonced ot the time ond sow thot it wos olreody two in the ofternoon. I hove to ottend my

onotomy closs now.

“But I hove to go to closs now,” she soid os she hugged the mon. A second loter, she osked, “Triston,

did something hoppen todoy?”

She could not help but wonder if something hod hoppened without her knowing, cousing him to behove

thot woy.

Triston wropped his orms tightly oround her os he replied, “No. Nothing hoppened. Everything went on

smoothly. I just miss you so much oll of o sudden.”

With thot, he plonted o kiss on her foreheod.

When Sophie heord his words, her heort skipped o beot.

This mon knows exoctly whot to soy to tug ot my heortstrings.

The next moment, she kissed Triston’s lips.

It wos o possionote kiss. Both of them were losing themselves in the romontic exchonge, finding it

impossible to stop.

“I don’t feel like ottending the conference onymore!” At thot moment, Triston reolized he wos eosily

chormed by her. Even if she did nothing, he would still find himself drown to her ond intoxicoted by her

ottroctiveness.

Sophie ponted softly while leoning ogoinst his chest.

With on indulgent smile on her foce, she replied, “Don’t go if you don’t feel like going. Seon ond the

others will be there onywoy!” As long os Seon’s present, nothing will go wrong.

She hod obsolute confidence in Seon’s obilities.

“Seon? It seems like you think very highly of him!” Triston remorked. She hosn’t spoken so highly obout

the rest before, ond yet, she seems to be olwoys singing Seon’s proises.

“Yeoh. Aport from you, he’s second to none in his obilities.” Besides, Seon is o very colm person who

does everything in on orderly monner.

I should be learning from Mr. Tristan.

Charles slung his arm around Felix’s neck and dragged him along.

I should be learning from Mr. Tristan.

Charles slung his arm around Felix’s neck and dragged him along.

“Hold your horses, and stop trying to agitate the two of us.” So what if they have girlfriends? It doesn’t

give them the right to take a dig at us.

“I wasn’t trying to agitate you. I do miss her, okay? Besides, I won’t waste my energy trying to make

you feel bad,” Felix said with a grin on his face.

He was in an exceptionally good mood as he and Ysabelle finally got together officially. As such, he

could not be bothered to argue with Charles.

Meanwhile, Sophie woke up from a forty-minute nap and realized that someone was in the living room.

When she stepped out of her room to take a look, she was surprised to see Tristan.

“Don’t you have another conference in the afternoon? Why did you come home?” she asked. Due to

his extremely packed schedule, they did not have lunch together that day.

Noticing that she was awake, Tristan spread his arms wide open.

“I just missed you so much suddenly. It was such a strong longing.” I came home because I wanted to

see you.

Sophie glanced at the time and saw that it was already two in the afternoon. I have to attend my

anatomy class now.

“But I have to go to class now,” she said as she hugged the man. A second later, she asked, “Tristan,

did something happen today?”

She could not help but wonder if something had happened without her knowing, causing him to behave

that way.

Tristan wrapped his arms tightly around her as he replied, “No. Nothing happened. Everything went on

smoothly. I just miss you so much all of a sudden.”

With that, he planted a kiss on her forehead.

When Sophie heard his words, her heart skipped a beat.

This man knows exactly what to say to tug at my heartstrings.

The next moment, she kissed Tristan’s lips.

It was a passionate kiss. Both of them were losing themselves in the romantic exchange, finding it

impossible to stop.

“I don’t feel like attending the conference anymore!” At that moment, Tristan realized he was easily

charmed by her. Even if she did nothing, he would still find himself drawn to her and intoxicated by her

attractiveness.

Sophie panted softly while leaning against his chest.

With an indulgent smile on her face, she replied, “Don’t go if you don’t feel like going. Sean and the

others will be there anyway!” As long as Sean’s present, nothing will go wrong.

She had absolute confidence in Sean’s abilities.

“Sean? It seems like you think very highly of him!” Tristan remarked. She hasn’t spoken so highly about

the rest before, and yet, she seems to be always singing Sean’s praises.

“Yeah. Apart from you, he’s second to none in his abilities.” Besides, Sean is a very calm person who

does everything in an orderly manner.

Even though Sophie was speaking the truth, Tristan could not help but feel slightly upset.

“How could you pay attention to another man?” Naturally, he was also aware of how outstanding Sean

was.

“What’s that? Are you jealous? Sean is a close friend of yours! Don’t worry. I won’t fall for him!” Men

and women can admire each other without having romantic feelings for one another, can’t they?

“I’m not jealous. I just don’t like you paying attention to other men.” Tristan trusted Sophie completely.

“Let’s go. I’ll send you to class,” he continued. After dropping her off at class, he would still make it to

the office in time.

“No need. You should just head straight to the office. Otherwise, it would be too rushed for you,” she

urged, aware that he had a very important conference in the afternoon.

If he doesn’t leave now, he will have to speed to get there in time. That’d be too dangerous.

“Let’s leave the house together, then,” Tristan suggested.

Due to the time constraint, all he managed to do was see Sophie for a short while.

The two of them parted ways after leaving the condominium.

Even though Tristan did not have a chance to rest, he was feeling rejuvenated from the kiss with

Sophie earlier and was not tired at all.

There were still ten minutes left to the conference by the time he returned to Lombard Group.

The other three men were waiting for him in his office.

“So, how was your trip back home? Did you receive any benefits?” Charles asked in a suggestive tone.

Tristan could not even be bothered to look at him.

Nothing decent ever comes out of his mouth.

Being ignored once again, Charles scratched his nose awkwardly.

“Do we have all the information ready? You guys know that this is a very important conference, right?”

Tristan reminded the other three men.

“Of course, we are aware of the immense importance of this conference.” Sean nodded before

continuing, “Don’t worry. We have gotten everything prepared.”

“Okay!”

Tristan was relieved to get an affirmative response from Sean. That conference would affect Lombard

Group’s market share in Anglandur.

Due to the high stakes of the meeting, everyone had spent a lot of time preparing for it.

“Mr. Tristan, you have never thought of expanding the business into Anglandur previously. Are you

doing this now because of Sophie?”

It seems like there is nothing Mr. Tristan would not do as long as it concerns Sophie.

“I just can’t stand Nicholas Sable! Anyway, what has he been up to recently?” Tristan inquired, as there

did not seem to be any news about Nicholas lately.
