Chapter 859

“You really don’t need to overthink it. No one can guarantee what’ll happen. As long as you want to be

his girlfriend, then cherish your time with him. There isn’t a single person in this world who can predict

the future, after all,” advised Sophie.

“Is that so? Even though I want to stay by his side my whole life, I’m not confident about it. I genuinely

love him. I wouldn’t feel so conflicted if I didn’t,” Ysabelle replied.

In response, Sophie patted her friend’s cheek. “Don’t overthink, Ysabelle. Just focus on the present.”

“Okay, got it. Did I disturb your rest?” Ysabelle wiped her tears away. I’m aware she didn’t get much

rest lately because she’s been so busy, but I still bothered her with my matters. What a lousy friend I

am.

“I’m fine. You can talk about any emotional matter bothering you with me. I may be unable to help you

solve all your issues, but I can certainly be a good listener.”

Ysabelle nodded.

“Oh yeah, isn’t your album coming out soon? You should set your feelings aside and focus on that

first.”

“Don’t worry, Sophie. I won’t let this or any other issues affect my work. I like singing, and I want it to be

done well.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“I’ll be heading back now. You should rest early.” Ysabelle smiled. As much as I’m still bothered by this,

I can’t keep disturbing Sophie.

“You can do this, Ysabelle. Whether it’s love or singing, you can handle it well.”

“Thank you, Sophie. I’m glad that I met you. Without you, I don’t know what I’d do. You helped me so

many times.”

“You know, you aided me more times than you realize.” Sophie grinned. Ysabelle’s a warm person. She

may not notice it, but her presence often brings a sense of comfort to people around her.

After Ysabelle left, Tristan entered the room. He had arrived much earlier but didn’t go in because he

knew Ysabelle was inside.

It wasn’t until his niece left that he approached Sophie and inquired, “What’s the matter with her?” Can’t

she just focus on her romance instead of constantly bothering Sophie?

Knitting her eyebrows slightly, Sophie answered, “I don’t think anything major happened, but I’m not

sure. There’s a chance she quarreled with Felix.” While Felix isn’t someone who often argues with

Ysabelle, it’s inevitable in a relationship. Sometimes, emotions appear and vanish rapidly.

“You should focus less on her matters in the future. She should solve her relationship issues herself.

There’s nothing anyone else can do for her.”

“Don’t be like that. Ysabelle didn’t disturb me. Often, she’s the one helping me and not the other way

round.”

“Fine, then.” Tristan held her waist. “By the way, you’re visiting the University of Medicine tomorrow,

right?” Even though we’ve finally returned to the country, we’re still so busy. In any case, I’m certain

she needs to deal with her course skipping there tomorrow. It’s impressive she can do that at a place

like the University of Medicine. My woman really is outstanding.

Nodding, Sophie answered, “Yep. The dean knows my intention to skip courses, but a few professors

there disagreed, so I have to convince them tomorrow.” She found no reason to waste more time at the

university. After all, she had already grasped everything she needed to learn during her second and

third-year courses.

“Do you want me to go with you?” he offered. If anyone dares to disagree, I’ll have a chat with them.

“No need. This is my matter. I can handle it. You should focus on Lombard Group,” she insisted. There

are definitely many things waiting for him to handle after he left the country for so long.

“I’m worried they’ll bully you.”

Tristan’s response amused Sophie. Does he not understand what kind of person I am? “They can’t

even if they want to. In fact, they should be grateful I won’t bully them.”

He pecked the edge of her lips. “I know you’re amazing, but I still want to protect you and stay with you

whenever possible. “

Promptly, Sophie stood on her toes and kissed his lips. “Fret not. I can handle these minor issues. You

don’t need to keep worrying about me. It’s unnecessary.” We must learn how to face our own problems,

after all.

“Very well!” Even though it was a gentle kiss, it still made his heart race. I wonder if I’ll only become

less unrestrained after getting married.

As he stared at her, an idea popped into his mind: to pounce at her.

Before Sophie realized it, she was already pinned to the bed by him as he kissed her.

Ysabelle didn’t mean to disturb them. However, after she returned to her room, she realized she had

left her phone in Sophie’s room.

Hence, she returned to Sophie’s room without giving it too much thought. Because she was in a hurry,

she forgot to knock on the door before entering the room.

When Tristan heard the sound of the door opening, he used his body to prevent the intruder from

catching sight of Sophie.

“What are you standing there for? Get out!” Even though his voice sounded cold, it couldn’t conceal his

tremendous lust.

It was then Ysabelle snapped back to reality. “I’m so sorry, Uncle Tristan! I didn’t know you two were…”

For a moment, she couldn’t think of an explanation. Is today the day I die? Still, she eventually

muttered, “I didn’t mean to barge in, Sophie. I’m only here to grab my phone!”

Hastily, she darted into the room, grabbed her phone, and sprinted out.

Ysabelle felt her heart beating rapidly after returning to her room and reprimanded it in her mind. Why

are you thumping so fast? Sophie doesn’t have time to put you back in if you thump so hard that you

jump out of my chest!

Meanwhile, when Tristan saw Sophie’s ears turning as red as a tomato, he gently bit them. “I’m sorry. I

forgot to close the door. Next time, I’ll be sure to lock it.”

She grinned. “Okay!”

While she did feel somewhat embarrassed by the incident, she suddenly felt like it was nothing notable

when she saw Tristan like that.

“Don’t blame Ysabelle.” She didn’t want Tristan to reprimand Ysabelle for something her friend didn’t

intend to do.

“Relax, I won’t trouble her,” assured Tristan. Still, that girl’s getting more unruly. Doesn’t she know she

should knock on the door before entering someone else’s room?

Sophie flipped them around and lay on top of him. “I’m being serious. Her new album is coming out in

the next few days. I don’t want you to affect her.”

“Okay, I understand. Although, do you realize your current position is very…” He trailed off and

wrapped his arms around her waist tight when she tried to change position, immobilizing her.

“What are you doing? It’s late. I’m going to sleep.”

“I’ll keep you company, then!”
