Chapter 989 Welcoming Them Home

It was already past midnight by the time Tristan and Sophie arrived in Chanaea.

They didn’t tell anyone about their return as they wanted to head back and get some sleep. However,

they saw Ysabelle, Felix, Sean, and Charles waiting for them at the airport.

“We didn’t tell you guys about our return, so how did you guys know we were coming back?”

They had chosen not to tell anyone because they didn’t want them to come to pick them up this late.

Ysabelle stepped forward and hugged Sophie as she replied, “We have our ways of finding out!”

Unbeknownst to the two, Bertram had made a post about their return on Instagram.

All they had to do was give him a call to ask about the couple’s flight schedule.

“I’ve missed you so much. Sophie!” Although they had only been separated for a little over a week,

Ysabelle felt as though it had been a year.

That was a feeling men would never understand.

“Welcome back!” Sean had been really busy lately, but he came over to welcome them home anyway.

“Why did so many of you have to come to pick us up? And you, Ysabelle! There is news about you all

over the internet! You should be laying low at home instead! Tristan yelled at them in annoyance.

“Why are you so mean to me, Uncle Tristan? I only came here because I missed Sophie! I wouldn’t

have bothered to come if it was just you who came back!” Ysabelle snapped back at him.

In other words, they were only there because of Sophie.

Felix wrapped an arm around Ysabelle’s waist in a protective manner and said, “Hey, Mr. Tristan! My

girlfriend is just as precious as yours, so be nice to her, okay?”

Sophie let out a chuckle when she heard that. “He’s just tired, that’s all. Come on, let’s go home.

People might think something big is going down in Jipsdale if they see you all here!”

“We only came because we haven’t seen you two in a long time,” Ysabelle mumbled with a pout.

Honestly, Uncle Tristan sure is a petty one! He has been hogging Sophie all to himself for so long! Is

that not enough?

“Let’s go!”

The conversation will never end if everyone keeps chiming in like this!

They had arrived at the airport in three separate cars, so Sophie and Tristan went back to Sean’s car.

It wasn’t until they arrived at the mansion that Tristan realized the others had followed them home.

“What are you guys doing? Are you all not planning on sleeping tonight?”

They know that we’re tired, so why would they follow us all the way home?

“We just thought you two would be hungry after getting off the plane, so we brought tons of food over!

Let’s eat up before going to bed! My Aunt Sarah made you some soup too! She would’ve come as well

if she weren’t so busy! What do you think, Sophie? Am I the best friend you’ve ever had?”

Ysabelle figured Sophie hadn’t been eating well during her time in Fandar, so she had brought a huge

amount of food over.

In fact, Sophie was the only reason Ysabelle was willing to sacrifice her beauty sleep and rush over to

the airport.

The group then made their way into the mansion and had supper together.

It had been a long time since they had a meal together, so Ysabelle treasured every second of it. I wish

we can be together like this forever.

As Sarah had gone through the trouble of making that soup for them, Sophie decided to have some

even though she wasn’t all that hungry.

“By the way, Grandpa knows about your return and wants you two to head over for lunch tomorrow,”

Ysabelle said while filling Sophie’s bowl with soup.

“Got it.” Sophie and Tristan had spent quite a long time in Fandar, so it was about time they went back

to pay William a visit.

The others helped themselves to some of the food and cleaned up the table after they were done

eating.

“It’s really late now, so we’ll throw that welcoming party some other day,” Sean said as he and Charles

left the mansion.

Tristan shifted his gaze back toward Felix and Ysabelle, who were still standing there, and asked,

“What about you two? Shouldn’t you two be going home as well? How much longer do you two plan on

sticking around?”

Honestly, why are these two always like this?

“But it’s really late now, Uncle Tristan. You guys have spare rooms here, so we’ll be staying over

tonight!”

Since they would head straight to bed after going home anyway, Ysabelle and Felix decided to just

spend the night at the mansion instead.

In fact, they never planned on going home that night, to begin with.

Tristan found himself at a loss for words.

What? I’ve had enough of these two! They have no respect for boundaries whatsoever!

“Now, now… It’s really late, so let’s just all go to our rooms and get some sleep. We can continue this

conversation tomorrow.”

Since there were indeed spare rooms available, Sophie decided to let them stay the night.

Tristan didn’t even feel like saying anything further at that point. What can I say, anyway?

“I know you’re really tired, Sophie. Don’t worry; I won’t disturb you tonight!”

Although Ysabelle had lots of things that she wanted to tell Sophie, she knew better than to do so that

night.

Sophie had just gotten off a long-haul flight at midnight, so Ysabelle didn’t want to keep her up any

longer.

“Okay.”

Tristan and Sophie went upstairs after that.

“It’s not like we don’t have a place of our own. Why did you insist on staying here? Did you not see the

look on Tristan’s face earlier?” Felix asked while pulling Ysabelle into a hug.

“I wanted to spend some more time with Sophie! You and I will have plenty of time together once we

get married anyway!” Ysabelle replied.

“Sure thing. Go on, then. Brush your teeth and get ready for bed. Otherwise, you’re going to have dark

circles around your eyes tomorrow!” Felix reminded her. Since Ysabelle was a celebrity, it was

important for her to take care of her appearance.

She nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. I need to get my beauty rest!”

Sophie had just stepped out of the bathroom when she saw Tristan sitting on her bed.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you tired? You should go take a shower and get some rest,” she said while

plopping down next to him.

Tristan wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace as he replied, “I wanted

to wish you good night before going to my room.”

A sweet smile spread across Sophie’s face when she heard that.

I can’t believe how easy it is for him to fill my heart with warmth. He sure is getting better at this!

“There, you’ve done what you came to do. Now, hurry up and go to bed.”

“All right. You should get some rest too. Don’t use your phone too much. It’s bad for your spine.”

“Okay, I won’t!” My goodness! He’s acting just like a dad!

Tristan hugged her tightly and gave her a few kisses on the lips.
