Anything For Her

Chapter 248 Cannot Wait Much Longer When confronted with Tristan’s frivolous overtures, Sophie pretended to be calm. “Then don’t sleep.” Shouldn’t women be the ones who typically get drunk first? Probably nobody would believe Mr. Tristan if he told anyone that he got himself drunk today. Seeing her that way, Tristan could not resist a chuckle. “All right. I won’t mess with you anymore.” That was because it was usually him who could no longer take any more of it after such attempts.

The car eventually rolled to a halt outside Wisteria Apartments’ parking lot. Sophie opted not to wake Tristan when she saw him leaning against her shoulder with his eyes closed, for she quite enjoyed that moment of serenity. It was the sort of tranquility that one would want to lose themselves in, forever and ever. Tristan, however, chose an opportune time to open his eyes. “We’ve arrived, I see.” “Yeah.” Tristan opened the door to alight, as did Sophie. “Rest early.” Since it was late after sending her there, she thought he might as well head straight back and get some rest. “You don’t have to come and see me off at the train station tomorrow.” This time, Sophie had chosen to travel to Horington by rail. Due to the punctuality of the train schedules, she found that to be preferable over air travel as the latter was very much dependent on the weather. “All right then. You should rest early, too.” Tristan did not ask to go up because he no longer trusted himself to keep his own impulses in check. Considering the inebriated state he was in, it only made it harder for him to keep his own yearnings under control. “Sophie…” Just as Sophie was about to leave, Tristan called out after her. “Yes?” When Sophie turned around, she did not even have time to finish her question before Tristan caught her by the hand and pulled her into his arms. “Would you grow up faster?

wait much longer.” The voice in her ear was filled with such a seductive quality that it caused one’s heart to start racing. Tristan left a peck on her forehead before he let her go. “All right, go on up! I’ll watch you enter the elevator before I go.” “Okay.” Sophie turned to leave, still seeming as nonchalant as ever. Only she herself knew how furiously her own heart was thumping against her chest. Immediately after Tristan reached home, he made a video call to Sophie who, fresh out of the shower, looked extremely delectable to him when she answered. The sight of that gorgeous face displayed on the phone’s screen led Tristan to swallow hard. “Hurry up and go get washed up!” Sophie’s placid voice conversely sounded rather

surprisingly obedient. Tristan was quite satisfied with how obediently she behaved. Back and forth, her fingers danced rapidly over the keyboard while she busied away on her laptop. All the while, she did so with extreme focus. Having nothing better to do after he had dried his hair, Tristan simply sat there silently to keep Sophie company. Sophie only realized that the video call was still active when she finally closed her laptop. Picking up her phone, she immediately saw Tristan’s ridiculously handsome face on it. “I’m sorry. I forgot that we are still on the line.” She had always been very cautious about handling her business with Wings of Light. “Nah. It’s fine. What were you busy with?” She

days, Tristan was almost like a prince charming, uttering passionate sweet nothings every so often. Is this what it feels like to be in love? “Can I ask you something, Mr. Tristan?” Sophie finally said. “What is it? I will answer your question if I am able to, no matter what they might be about.” Between them, there wasn’t anything they couldn’t discuss. After some consideration, Sophie asked, “You’re obviously surrounded by an assortment of beautiful women, so how did you come to fancy me?” It was not a lack of self-confidence that prompted her to ask that sort of a question, but a genuine inquisitiveness to find out the answer to it. Tristan had not seen such a curve ball coming, and it got him thinking hard about how he might be able to best answer it. It then occurred to him that that could be the nature of love. No one really planned for it to happen, and there was no particular reason why one would be attracted to another. “That’s a tough one, Sophie. There aren’t many questions that I can’t answer before today, but I really don’t know how to address that. I guess that it’s just a feeling. You meet one person
