Anything For Her

Chapter 126 The Distinction Between Men And Women

of Tristan. Because of her love for him, she always can’t help hurting others. Never mind if it’s some other girl, but this is Sophie, the girl Tristan likes. Therefore, no one is allowed to offend her.“I’m really sorry, Sophie. If Winter said anything that upset you, I apologize on her behalf. I hope you don’t take it to heart.” He raised his glass. No matter what, Winter was his sister, so he had to do something about it.Sophie flashed him a smile.“I’m not a petty person, so I’m not that easily offended, Mr. Quigley. Don’t worry.”When Charles heard that, relief suffused him.“No matter what, I still need to toast you.”Sophie raised her wine glass and took a tiny sip.Throughout the entire meal, Tristan kept feeding Sophie.When they were almost done eating, he snagged two pieces of tissue for her.Sophie wiped her mouth before crumpling the tissues into a wad and tossing it into the trash can at the side.“Soph, where would you like to go as this is the first time we’re spending Christmas Eve together? How about going to the karaoke bar?” Ysabelle proposed excitedly. It had been a long time since she visited a karaoke bar. Ever since her senior year, her family started getting strict with her. But today, it’s probably fine since I’m with Uncle Tristan!“You’d like to go to a karaoke bar?” Sophie actually wasn’t fond of such a place, but she didn’t mind going to have some fun if Ysabelle liked it.“Yeah! I haven’t been to a karaoke bar since my senior year. I’m craving to go and sing my heart out. It’s good to release some tension.”“Are you that stressed? You seem pretty relaxed to me every day.”Pouting, Ysabelle acted cute.“How am I relaxed? You have no idea how high my parents’ expectations of me are! They’ll definitely force me to study another year if I fail to make it into Jipsdale University. I really don’t want to do that. If possible, I want to go far away. Would I have it easier if I weren’t the daughter of the Lombard family?”Everyone envies me for being the daughter of the Lombard family, having almost everything my heart wishes. But then, no one asked me about my choice. I, too, want to live freely!Sophie gazed at her in sympathy. Oh, poor thing!“Where are we going now? To Nocturnal for a drink?”In truth, they never celebrated Christmas Eve in the past.They were all surprised when Tristan suggested that they celebrate the festival together. But on second thought, that made sense since the man’s girlfriend was a high schooler.After all, such a festival was a favorite celebration among high schoolers.“Let’s go for a karaoke session!”At Sophie’s suggestion, Ysabelle looked at her gratefully. Sure enough, she’s my idol! She never lets me down!“A karaoke session? Mr. Tristan doesn’t like it, so why don’t we do something else?”Winter heard Sophie’s proposal the moment she stepped in, and she couldn’t help saying that.Everyone swung their gazes at Tristan, who had a hand draped over Sophie’s chair.“It’s okay. Since they want to go for a karaoke session, we’ll all go together. You can pass if you don’t want to go.” He was a very democratic person and would never force someone into anything.Felix and Charles exchanged a look. Sure enough, his principles are only for show when it comes to Sophie!“Yay! That’s great! I can finally go for a karaoke session! Let me tell you something, Soph. I love singing, and my dream was even to be a singer in the past!”Ysabelle really loved singing, but her father forbade her from entering the entertainment industry. Thus, she could only suppress her hobby.Seeing her sheer delight, Sophie felt that it was no big deal for her to put up with the noise despite positively loathing loud places.“Actually, you don’t need to accommodate her so
